Add a guide describing the external supervisor pattern for running a local coding agent under an out-of-process security supervisor that enforces workspace confinement, command allow-lists, and sensitive-file blocking. Wire the page into the docs navigation under a new Guides group.

Issue for this PR
N/A — this is a docs-only proposal opened as a draft to confirm maintainer interest before creating or closing any tracking issue.
Type of change
What does this PR do?
Adds one documentation page,
packages/docs/external-supervisor-pattern.mdx, and one navigation entry under Guides. The page explains a tool-agnostic external-supervisor pattern for local coding agents: workspace confinement, exact command allow-lists, sensitive-file blocking, and auditable evidence. PatchWarden is mentioned only as an example implementation; the guidance is useful without it.No product code, APIs, dependencies, or configuration behavior changes.
How did you verify your code works?
