fix: pi starts with its models in a pane set to this folder only - #63

pi takes a lock directory beside settings.json, auth.json and models-store.json before it reads them. Its manifest now lists ~/.pi/agent/*.lock as data, so only those lock directories become writable; the files themselves, extensions, skills, prompts, npm packages, install and mcp.json stay read-only.

pi takes a lock directory
<file>.locknext to a file before reading it. Under This folder only every write into~/.piis denied except the manifest'sdata, which listed onlysessions, so pi could not read its settings or keys and started with no models. The manifest now also allows~/.pi/agent/*.lock: only a name ending in.lockdirectly in that folder, nothing inside it. Settings, keys, mcp.json, extensions, skills, prompts, npm packages, install/ and bin/ stay read-only.Measured with the Sandbox log under the real profile: pi attempts exactly settings.json.lock, auth.json.lock and models-store.json.lock.
