Auto mode's permission classifier can now drop 'artifacts' from its context before it errors on being too large

What

Claude Code's server-side auto-mode permission classifier builds a context payload that can include git state, prior-turn context, Chrome tabs, and now also artifacts. When that payload is too large, the classifier already had a system to shed less-important fields one at a time; it can now also shed artifacts before finally warning and giving up, at which point every one of these variable parts is left out of the request entirely.

Why

Adding artifacts as a shed-able field means a request that would otherwise fail for being oversized can still go through, with artifact state trimmed out first rather than the whole classifier context being dropped immediately.
