Add Guardian guidance for Node REPL tool calls (#38427)

## Why

JavaScript executed through the Node REPL can invoke connected MCP, browser,
or computer-use tools, so reviewing only the outer tool call does not capture
its immediate effects.

## What changed

- Add dedicated Guardian review guidance for `node_repl` `js` requests that
  evaluates nested calls, authorization boundaries, staged data, and concrete
  side effects.
- Keep the existing generic approval prompt for other MCP tools and shell
  requests.

## Testing

- Cover the dedicated Node REPL prompt, retry reasons, serialized request data,
  and the generic fallback behavior.
