Auto-accepted tool-permission log entries now record a surface field

What

When Claude Code automatically accepts a tool permission because of a configuration setting (logged as decision accept, source config), the log entry now also computes and attaches a surface value, using a new helper that takes the session and the decision reason. This applies in both interactive sessions and non-interactive (headless) sessions.

Why

Recording which surface an auto-accept happened on gives more context for understanding permission decisions after the fact, useful for debugging or auditing why a tool was allowed to run without a prompt.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what values `surface` can take or how it's used downstream.
