Ed Zynda 71301a9035 feat: add interactive sudo password prompt for bash tool
Add core TUI support for handling sudo password prompts when executing
bash commands that require elevated privileges.

- Detect sudo commands and check if credentials are cached (sudo -n)
- Show modal password prompt with masked input (• characters) when needed
- Pipe password via stdin using sudo -S -p '' (no password in command string)
- Password flows through context callbacks, never stored in session history
- Add PasswordPromptHandler to agent and SDK event system
- Add password prompt overlay to TUI with 🔐 icon and hidden input
- Include tests for sudo command detection and rewriting

The password is never persisted to disk - it only exists in memory
during execution and is piped directly to sudo via stdin.

//go:build ignore
// sudo-handler.go - Extension to handle sudo password prompts securely
//
// This extension intercepts bash commands containing "sudo" and:
// 1. Checks if sudo credentials are already cached (via sudo -n)
// 2. If not cached, prompts the user for their password (with masking)
// 3. Temporarily sets SUDO_PASSWORD environment variable for execution
// 4. The bash tool automatically uses sudo -S -p '' to pipe the password
//
// Usage: kit -e examples/extensions/sudo-handler.go
//
// Security notes:
// - Password is only stored in memory for the duration of the session
// - Password is never logged or displayed
// - Each session requires re-authentication (sudo -k is used)
// - The SUDO_PASSWORD env var is set only during tool execution
