Fix glob parent directory allowance for patterns with glob characters (#331)

* fix(sandbox): support pnpm workspaces and macOS cache dir in pnpm profile

pnpm in a workspace (monorepo) creates a node_modules directory inside
every workspace package to symlink direct dependencies. The profile only
allowed writes to the root node_modules, so installs failed with EPERM
on mkdir of e.g. apps/mobile/node_modules.

pnpm on macOS also writes its cache (lockfile verification, metadata)
under ~/Library/Caches/pnpm, while the base profile only covers the XDG
path ~/.cache/pnpm.

Fixes are scoped to the pnpm leaf profile, not the shared
npm-restrictive base.

* fix(sandbox): emit regex parent rule for nested-glob allow patterns on Seatbelt

For allow patterns ending in /**, the translator auto-allows the parent
directory so mkdir/stat of the directory itself succeeds. The rule was
always emitted as a literal, which can never match when the parent still
contains glob characters (e.g. ${CWD}/**/node_modules from a workspace
allowance) — silently leaving the directory's own creation denied.

Emit a regex rule for glob-bearing parents instead. This stays strictly
narrower than the Linux drivers (Bubblewrap binds the prefix before the
first /** read-write; Landlock grants the glob expansion or its parent),
and deny rules are emitted after allows, so mandatory credential denies
still override.
