Add internal file_approval tool (C4 part 2/5)

Introduce a first-class `file_approval` pi tool definition + main-side
handler, paired to `hire_agent` from part 1/5. Replaces the
`bash + node -e + fetch POST /api/companies/:id/approvals` chain with
a single pi tool-call the CEO uses to file `approve_ceo_strategy`
after the initial hires. Handler reuses `db.approvalsMod.requestApproval`,
the `approve_ceo_strategy` ordering gate (STRATEGY_BEFORE_HIRES /
STRATEGY_ALREADY_FILED), and the auto-approval policy so the tool path
produces identical approval rows to the HTTP route.

No runtime wiring yet — the injection + RPC router land in part 3/5.

Error taxonomy:
- file_approval.input.invalid / strategy.before_hires /
  strategy.already_filed → UserInputError
- file_approval.create.failed / activity.failed → UpstreamError

tests: pnpm typecheck + pnpm test:unit (529) + pnpm test:eval (8/8) green

/**
* Main-side handler for the `file_approval` internal tool (C4 part 2/5).
*
* Mirrors the control flow of `POST /api/companies/:id/approvals` in
* `api-server/routes-approvals.ts`: validate → enforce the
* `approve_ceo_strategy` ordering gate → request approval → auto-
* approve or notify. Both the tool path and the HTTP path funnel
* through the same `db.approvalsMod.requestApproval` + `shouldAutoApprove`
* plumbing, so the board sees identical rows regardless of entry point.
*
* No fallbacks: malformed input throws UserInputError, DB failures
* throw UpstreamError. The worker tool wrapper surfaces the classified
* message as a pi tool-error so the model can correct its call.
