feat: add --html flag for interactive permission trace visualization
Summary Adds --html and --html-output flags to zed permission check and zed permission check-bulk commands to generate interactive HTML visualizations of permission traces. Key Features TracePresentation helper: Shared presentation logic between HTML and console renderers for consistent icons and styling Self-contained output: Embedded CSS with VS Code Dark+ theme, automatic light mode, no external dependencies Memory pooling: Efficient bulk operations with sync.Pool pattern UI polish: Collapsible context, subject bullet icons, styled missing-context boxes, XSS protection Examples Examples in docs/html-examples/ covering simple, nested, caveated, and bulk scenarios. Test Plan go test ./internal/printers -v go test ./internal/commands -v

## 📐 Technical Details
135+
136+
### Architecture
137+
- **Zero dependencies**: Self-contained HTML files
138+
- **No JavaScript**: Pure HTML/CSS using native `<details>` elements
139+
- **Embedded CSS**: ~5KB stylesheet included inline
140+
- **File sizes**: 6.9KB - 7.9KB per trace
141+
142+
### Performance
143+
- **Render time**: <100ms for typical trace
144+
- **Load time**: <50ms (no external resources)
145+
- **Memory**: ~512KB per renderer instance (pooled)
146+
- **Pre-allocation**: 8KB capacity hint per trace, 1MB cap for bulk operations
147+
148+
### Security
149+
- **XSS protection**: All user strings escaped with `html.EscapeString()`
150+
- **DoS protection**: Metadata capped at 1024 runes, recursion limited to 100 levels
151+
- **UTF-8 safe**: Rune-aware truncation prevents boundary panics
152+
153+
### Accessibility
154+
- **Semantic HTML5**: Proper use of `<details>`, `<summary>`, `<code>` tags
155+
- **ARIA labels**: Descriptive labels on all interactive elements
156+
- **Keyboard navigable**: Tab, Enter, Space all work as expected
157+
- **Screen reader friendly**: Proper heading hierarchy and roles
158+
159+
### Browser Support
160+
- Chrome/Edge 90+ ✅
161+
- Firefox 88+ ✅
162+
- Safari 14+ ✅
163+
- All modern browsers with `<details>` element support (2020+)

--output=trace.html
174+
```
175+
176+

191+
192+
## 🔍 Implementation Details
193+
194+
### Caveat Evaluation
195+
- **Expression display**: CEL expressions shown in italic
196+
- **Caveat name**: Purple bold text
197+
- **Context**: Pretty-printed JSON in monospace font
198+
- **Result indicators**: ✓ (true), ⨉ (false), ? (missing context)
199+
200+
### Bulk Check Support
201+
- **Visual separators**: 2px solid line between checks with 30px margin
202+
- **Check numbering**: "Check #1", "Check #2", etc.
203+
- **Shared metadata**: Single header for all checks (efficient rendering)
204+
205+
### Tree Structure
206+
- **Expandable nodes**: `<details>` with `<summary>` for interaction
207+
- **Leaf nodes**: Simple `<div>` (end of permission chain)
208+
- **Indentation**: Visual hierarchy with connecting lines
209+
- **Gap spacing**: 8px between elements for readability
210+
211+
### Theme Colors (Dark Mode)
212+
```css
213+
--bg-primary: #1e1e1e /* Body background */
214+
--bg-secondary: #252526 /* Tree container */
215+
--bg-tertiary: #2d2d30 /* Header, hover states */
216+
--text-primary: #d4d4d4 /* Main text */
217+
--text-faint: #858585 /* Dimmed text */
218+

219+
--error: #f48771 /* No permission */
220+
--conditional: #c586c0 /* Missing context */
221+
--cycle: #ce9178 /* Cycles */
222+
```
