feat(approvals): a request can ask to stay answerable longer - #78

Conversation
An agent parking an unattended task needs its approval request answerable for hours — asked at 3am, answered at 8 — but every request expired after the model's default hour. POST /api/external/approvals takes an optional expires_in_seconds (60 s to 7 days). Asking again for the same action keeps the one request and never shortens it. Default unchanged.
