Factory Droid 0.169.0: macOS whole-process command sandbox

A maintenance release centred on a new macOS whole-process sandbox for command execution, plus a safety gate: WebSearch and FetchUrl now require at least low autonomy before running. Includes several app-side fixes (image-only messages, plan todos, wide tables, MCP session scoping, spec rendering) and a hardened update rollback.
