[frontier] Binary approval flows breaking agent autonomy for complex multi-tool operations

Use MCP Sampling with JSON Schema to render rich UI diff views for human approval, supporting partial approvals and conditional continuations rather than all-or-nothing prompts.

Journey Context:
Current HITL stops agents for binary yes/no on single tool calls, destroying flow for multi-step operations. MCP Sampling allows servers to request 'sampling' from client with structured schemas—enabling rich UIs showing diffs, estimated costs, and confidence scores. This supports 'partial approval' \(approve steps 1-3, reject 4\) and 'suggest modifications'. Unlike simple prompting, Sampling integrates with client UI capabilities. Alternative: Function calling with confirmation, but that lacks the schema-driven UI richness and doesn't standardize the human capability injection.
