Subject: [PATCH] feat(setup/tools): add passwordless-sudo.sh toggle script

For sessions that need to run a string of sudo commands with nothing
around to answer a password prompt (unattended VM builds, agent-driven
scripting). Drops a validated sudoers.d NOPASSWD entry for the current
user on enable, removes it on disable. Off by default, not part of the
regular install/update flow.

+# =============================================================================
+# passwordless-sudo.sh — toggle temporary NOPASSWD sudo for the current user
+# =============================================================================
+# Some workflows (unattended VM builds, agent-driven scripting sessions) need
+# to run a string of `sudo` commands with nothing around to answer a password
+# prompt. This drops a single sudoers.d file granting the invoking user full
+# NOPASSWD sudo, and removes it again just as easily.
+#
+# This is a deliberate, temporary reduction in local security — anything
+# running as your user can become root without a password while it's active.
+# Turn it off (`disable`) as soon as whatever needed it is done. It does NOT
+# persist across the dotfiles install/update flow — it's a manual toggle you
+# reach for and put back, not a permanent config.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   passwordless-sudo.sh enable [--yes]   Grant NOPASSWD sudo to $USER
+#   passwordless-sudo.sh disable          Revoke it
+#   passwordless-sudo.sh status           Report whether it's currently active
+#
+# The drop-in is validated with `visudo -c` before being installed, so a typo
+# here can't corrupt sudo for the whole system.
+# =============================================================================
