refactor: move command whitelisting from VS Code settings to plugin UI

- Removed 'roo-code.commandWhitelist' from VS Code settings (package.json)
- Added command whitelisting to Auto Approve settings in plugin UI
- Migrated existing whitelist settings to new location on extension activation
- Updated all related components, tests, and localization files
- Maintains backward compatibility by migrating existing settings

This change improves user experience by consolidating all auto-approval
settings in one location within the plugin's settings interface.

# PR #5491 Fix Implementation Summary
## Overview
Implemented a feature flag to disable LLM-based command suggestions in response to reviewer feedback about avoiding reliance on LLMs for command whitelist suggestions.
## Changes Made
### 1. Configuration Setting Added
- **File**: `src/package.json`
- Added new setting: `roo-cline.disableLlmCommandSuggestions`
- Type: boolean, default: false
- Description: "Disable LLM-generated command suggestions and use only programmatic pattern generation"
### 2. Localization
- **File**: `src/package.nls.json`
- Added description for the new setting
### 3. Tool Prompt Conditional Logic
- **File**: `src/core/prompts/tools/execute-command.ts`
- Modified `getExecuteCommandDescription` to conditionally include suggestions section
- When `disableLlmCommandSuggestions` is true, the suggestions parameter is omitted from the tool description
### 4. Tool Implementation Update
- **File**: `src/core/tools/executeCommandTool.ts`
- Added check for `disableLlmCommandSuggestions` setting
- When enabled, suggestions from LLM are ignored even if provided
### 5. Settings Propagation
- **File**: `src/core/task/Task.ts`
- Updated to pass the `disableLlmCommandSuggestions` setting through the system prompt generation
### 6. Test Coverage
- **File**: `src/core/tools/__tests__/executeCommandTool.spec.ts`
- Added comprehensive test suite for the new setting
- Tests verify suggestions are ignored when setting is enabled
- Tests verify suggestions work normally when setting is disabled or not set
- **File**: `src/core/prompts/tools/__tests__/execute-command.spec.ts`
- Added tests for conditional prompt generation
- Verifies suggestions section is excluded when setting is enabled
## How It Works
1. **When `disableLlmCommandSuggestions` is false (default)**:
- LLM receives instructions to provide command suggestions
- Tool processes suggestions and shows them to the user
- Existing behavior is preserved
2. **When `disableLlmCommandSuggestions` is true**:
- LLM does not receive instructions about suggestions
- Even if LLM provides suggestions, they are ignored
- Falls back to programmatic pattern generation only
## Benefits
1. **Addresses Reviewer Concern**: Removes reliance on LLM for command suggestions when desired
2. **Backward Compatible**: Default behavior unchanged, existing users unaffected
3. **User Control**: Users can choose between LLM suggestions or deterministic patterns
4. **Token Savings**: When enabled, reduces token usage by not including suggestion instructions
5. **Deterministic Behavior**: Provides predictable command pattern generation when needed
## Testing
All tests pass:
- Execute command tool tests: 23 passed
- Execute command prompt tests: 4 passed
The implementation is complete and ready for review.

# Test Fix Summary
## Issue
The tests in `webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/CommandExecution.spec.tsx` were failing because they were looking for the text "Add to Allowed Auto-Execute Commands" but the component had been updated to use "Manage Command Permissions".
## Changes Made
### 1. Updated Translation Key References
- Changed all mock translation key references from `chat:commandExecution.addToAllowedCommands` to `chat:commandExecution.manageCommands`
- Updated the returned text from "Add to Allowed Auto-Execute Patterns" to "Manage Command Permissions"
### 2. Updated Test Assertions
- Replaced all occurrences of "Add to Allowed Auto-Execute Patterns" with "Manage Command Permissions" in test assertions
- This affected 15 different test cases
### 3. Updated Component Structure Tests
- The component structure changed from using checkboxes to using action buttons (Check and X icons)
- Updated tests to look for buttons with specific aria-labels instead of checkboxes
- Updated button count expectations to account for 2 buttons per pattern (allow and deny)
### 4. Fixed Mock Setup
- Added missing mock functions (`setAllowedCommands` and `setDeniedCommands`) to the `useExtensionState` mock
- Added `deniedCommands` array to the mock state
## Test Results
- All 13 tests in CommandExecution.spec.tsx now pass
- All 654 tests in webview-ui pass
- All 2884 tests in the backend pass
## Files Modified
- `webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/CommandExecution.spec.tsx`
