read_asset can now auto-save files into the session's scratchpad, not just its working folders

What

The read_asset action (part of the artifact tool) could previously only automatically save fetched assets inside the current session's designated working folders. It can now also save into the session's scratchpad folder without needing extra approval. If you don't specify an out_dir (output directory), the asset is now routed to the scratchpad instead of the working directory.

Why

This gives read_asset a sensible default save location even when no working folder destination is specified, and extends where it can save without prompting for approval each time.
