Agent mode should never change user's bash history

Describe the Bug

Agent mode automatically executes commands in a terminal. These commands also add to user’s global bash history. When a user press UP + Enter in terminal to execute the “last” command, it may accidentally execute the wrong command added by agent mode.
This behavior may cause serious issues such as user data loss, sensitive information leakage.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Ask the Agent to clean unused temporary files in project.
  2. User runs command (e.g. ./some_other_work.sh) in a terminal.
  3. Agent automatically runs rm -rf * command in project temp dir. This is OK, but adds rm -rf * to user’s bash history.
  4. After two seconds, user need to run ./some_other_work.sh again. So he press UP key then Enter key without confirmation (this is very common). But actually runs rm -rf * and loses all his source code.

Expected Behavior

Agent should run in a “sandbox” terminal, without changing user’s global bash history.
