fix(sandboxes): memory-store singleton, /snapshots route, .git skip on restore

Three bugs surfaced by the integration suite for Wedge 1.13:

1) Memory stores were instantiated fresh per builder call, so a snapshot
   saved by POST /sandboxes/:id/snapshot was invisible to GET /snapshots
   (different in-memory map). Same latent bug existed for MemoryTaskStore.
   Both are now singletons constructed once per ComputerAgentServer
   instance; durable backends (mongo, s3) are unaffected since the store
   server is the source of truth.

2) GET /sandboxes/snapshots collided with GET /sandboxes/:id in Hono's
   router (both 2-segment GET paths), so listing always returned 404
   NOT_FOUND. Move snapshot list/delete to a top-level /snapshots prefix.

3) On restore, the loader recreates the gap repo's .git/ directory (incl.
   read-only pack files like .git/objects/pack/*.idx). Layering snapshot
   bytes over those failed with EACCES. The snapshot still captures .git
   for fidelity; we just skip writing .git/* during restore — the loader
   gets us a clean working tree.

scripts/test-sandboxes.py now uses the agent's Read tool (not /workdir,
which is wired to /run's run map, not the sandbox registry) to verify
the round-trip. 5/5 assertions pass end-to-end against api.clawagent.sh.
