angelos 8254b820ec fix(docker): --init for zombie reaping + sleep infinity for idle-based lifetime
Two issues with sandbox container spawning:

1. PID 1 was `sleep 2h` which doesn't call wait() — every background
   process that exited became a zombie (<defunct>), and the process
   tool reported them as "running" because zombie PIDs still exist in
   the process table. Fix: add --init to docker run, which uses
   tini (Docker) or catatonit (Podman) as PID 1 to reap children
   automatically. Both runtimes support --init natively.

2. The fixed 2-hour lifetime was arbitrary and sometimes too short
   for long agent sessions. Fix: replace 'sleep 2h' with
   'sleep infinity'. The idle reaper (_cleanup_inactive_envs, gated
   by terminal.lifetime_seconds, default 300s) already handles
   cleanup based on last activity timestamp — there's no need for
   the container itself to have a fixed death timer.

Fixes #6908.
