fix(terminal): guard os.getcwd() against a deleted CWD

`os.getcwd()` raises FileNotFoundError when the process's working
directory was removed out from under it (e.g. a scratch workspace
cleaned up mid-session), crashing terminal env setup.

Extract a `_safe_getcwd()` helper that falls back to TERMINAL_CWD, then
the user's home, on FileNotFoundError, and route all three `os.getcwd()`
call sites in terminal_tool.py through it (local default_cwd, the Docker
cwd-passthrough source, and the debug-config print) so the same crash
can't resurface at a sibling site. Adds unit tests for the real-cwd path
and both fallback branches.
