Add configurable action confirmation timeout in Director Chat settings

   - "Context Formatting: The |condensed template filter no longer permanently compacts multi-line context (e.g., world info, memories, pins) into a single line when sending prompts to the LLM. Formatting is now only compacted temporarily for deduplication comparison and restored to its original multi-line structure afterwards."
   - "Client Config UX: Moved advanced settings (Inference Presets, Structured Data Format, Section Format, Response Length Enforcement, Prompt Caching, Rate Limit) into a dedicated Advanced tab to declutter the general view. A convenient link in the general tab provides quick access. Toggling Simple View on now resets to the General tab, and switching clients always starts on General."
   - "Prompts Tab Alert: The top-level Prompts tab now shows a warning icon when any active template overrides are outdated, so you can spot them without opening the tab."
+  - "Action Confirm Timeout: The director chat action confirmation timeout is now configurable (0–60 minutes, default 3). Set to 0 to wait indefinitely. Found in the Director Chat settings under Action Confirmation."
