* Fix review comments on SDK permission handling PR

Address 5 review comments from PR #1103:

1. Fix invalid object literal syntax (stray comma) in resumeSession
   example in copilot-sdk-nodejs.instructions.md

2. Replace unused PermissionHandler import with actual usage in
   cookbook/copilot-sdk/python/recipe/ralph_loop.py (was using
   inline lambda instead)

3. Replace unused approveAll import with actual usage in
   cookbook/copilot-sdk/nodejs/recipe/ralph-loop.ts (was using
   inline handler instead)

4. Add missing PermissionHandler import to 4 Python code snippets
   in skills/copilot-sdk/SKILL.md that reference it without importing

5. Add missing approveAll import to 3 TypeScript code snippets
   in skills/copilot-sdk/SKILL.md that reference it without importing

* Refactor session creation to improve code formatting and consistency across SDK examples

* Fix formatting: split multi-property lines and put closing braces on own lines

Address review comments on PR #1107:
- Split OnPermissionRequest + Model onto separate lines in Go, C#, TypeScript
- Put closing }); on its own line consistently across all examples
- Fix indentation in SKILL.md Quick Start, CLI URL, Error Handling sections
- Fix cookbook Go multiple-sessions and error-handling formatting
- Fix ralph-loop.md TypeScript indentation
