fix(opencode): all issues from first live run resolved

1. API key: opencode doesn't support env: substitution in apiKey — write
   actual key value to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc at setup time
   (file is not committed to git; key sourced from .testenv).
2. Permission system: add permission:"allow" to opencode config (equivalent
   to --dangerously-skip-permissions) to avoid interactive prompts.
3. Submit key: opencode TUI uses Enter (return) to submit; Ctrl+S not
   needed. ping_session already uses Enter — keep as is.
4. Startup timing: bump opencode TUI init wait from 4s to 8s so the TUI
   is fully connected to the server before bootstrap is sent.
5. Backend persistence: LOOP_BACKEND/LOOP_MODEL written to .loop-backend /
   .loop-model so the watchdog uses them when restarting dead sessions.

All tested: both builder and adversary sessions alive, deepseek-v4-pro
processing kickoffs via tinfoil inference.tinfoil.sh, no API/permission
errors.
