fix: disable terminal toolset for cloud providers in cron jobs (closes #379)

When the cron scheduler resolves a cloud provider (Nous, OpenRouter,
Anthropic), the agent still had the terminal toolset available. This
caused nightwatch-health-monitor and similar jobs to attempt SSH into
remote VPSes (Ezra, Allegro, Bezalel) without local SSH keys.

Fix: use is_local_endpoint() from agent/model_metadata.py to check the
runtime base_url. When it's a cloud endpoint (not localhost/private IP),
append 'terminal' to disabled_toolsets. Local endpoints (Ollama, llama.cpp)
retain terminal access as before.

Also logs when terminal is disabled for observability.
