Improve E2B plugin configuration UX and fix execution timeouts (#4802)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - E2B is a sandbox provider plugin that runs agent code in isolated
cloud environments
> - Operators configure E2B through the plugin settings page
> - But the E2B API key configuration was unclear — the settings field
description didn't explain that pasted keys are auto-saved as company
secrets, and the fallback to the host `E2B_API_KEY` variable wasn't
documented
> - Additionally, long-running E2B sandbox commands were timing out
because the plugin environment RPC driver used a fixed timeout, and
environment commands competed for the single foreground command slot
> - This PR clarifies the E2B configuration UX, fixes RPC timeouts for
plugin environment execution, and runs E2B environment commands in
background mode to avoid blocking the foreground slot
> - The benefit is clearer E2B setup for operators and more reliable
sandbox command execution

## What Changed

- Updated E2B plugin manifest and settings UI to clarify API key
configuration — field description now explains that pasted keys are
saved as company secrets and documents the `E2B_API_KEY` host fallback
- Added test coverage for the plugin settings page rendering
- Fixed `plugin-environment-driver.ts` to pass the configured timeout
through to RPC calls instead of using a hardcoded default
- Updated `environment-runtime.ts` to propagate timeout from the
environment lease to the plugin driver
- Changed E2B sandbox command execution to use background handles so
long-running agent commands don't block the foreground slot needed by
the callback bridge

## Verification

- `pnpm test` — all existing and new tests pass
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean
- Manual: navigate to plugin settings, verify E2B API key field shows
the updated description text
- Manual: run an E2B-backed agent task with a long-running command,
verify it completes without RPC timeout

## Risks

- Low risk. Configuration UX change is cosmetic. The timeout fix passes
an existing value through instead of dropping it. Background command
execution is a behavioral change but only affects E2B sandbox commands —
the foreground slot is still available for bridge health checks.

## Model Used

Codex GPT 5.4 high via Paperclip.
