Reduce Claude Code permission prompts#46

Conversation
The `gh api` PreToolUse hook matched the endpoint path, so read-only GETs to `comments`/`reviews` endpoints prompted for confirmation just like writes. Common test and lint commands like `bundle exec rspec` and `uv run pytest` also prompted on every run. Narrow the hook to fire only when the call actually mutates (has `-X POST/PATCH/PUT/DELETE` or field flags), and add an `allow` list covering those test runners plus read-only checks (`uv run pyright`, `uv run black --check`). Also fix `deep_merge` in `bootstrap.sh` to union list values instead of replacing them. Previously the `allow` array in `settings.local.json` overwrote any tracked `allow` entries in `settings.json`, so these new rules would have been wiped on the next bootstrap.
