feat: builder-style InputSpec API, prefill plumbing, and port forward fix

- Add addKey() and add() builder methods to InputSpec with InputSpecTools
- Move OuterType to last generic param on Value, List, and all dynamic methods
- Plumb prefill through getActionInput end-to-end (core → container-runtime → SDK)
- Filter port_forwards to enabled addresses only
- Bump SDK to 0.4.0-beta.50
