test: migrate sandbox-deps, native-tool-persistence, and web-fetch e2e tests to mock LLM

Replace real-LLM dependencies with scripted mock LLM responses so these
tests run without --llm-api-key or --profile. Each test registers an
inline agent with mock_llm_base_url pointing at the session-scoped mock
server, then scripts the exact tool-call and text-response sequence via
configure_mock_llm.

- test_sandbox_dependencies: 3 tests now script sys_os_shell calls for
  pip/npm/uv install via mock; real package installs still execute.
- test_native_tool_persistence: replaced web_search + LLM judge with a
  mock-scripted sys_os_shell round-trip proving tool results persist.
- test_web_fetch_e2e: replaced web_fetch sub-agent + LLM judge with a
  mock-scripted sys_os_shell call proving the turn-dispatch chain works.
