fix(#2128): address shared-seam review regressions (#557, action-scan, comment-strip)

Final convergence review found the shared <tag> seam introduced 3 behavior
regressions; fixed all + locked with tests:

- #557 REGRESSION: stripTaggedBlocks's attribute-tolerance stripped `<details open>`
  (the ACTIVE-milestone marker) that the old `<details>`-only regex preserved. The
  seam now takes `allowAttributes` (default false) — details/decisions strip is
  attr-INTOLERANT (preserves `<details open>`); only `<task type="…">` opts in.
  Regression test added to roadmap-parser + markdown-sectionizer suites.
- verify.cts actionZones (negative-grep-echo security scan): reverted to a bounded
  to-first-close scan `<action>([\s\S]{0,20000}?)</action>` so a grep-echo trick
  can't hide behind an unterminated inner <action> (the seam's stop-at-next-open
  would drop it). ReDoS-safe via the cap.
- check-command-router HTML-comment strip: `(?:-->|$)` fallback wiped to EOF
  (fail-closed spurious gate block) — replaced with stop-at-next-open so an
  unclosed `<!--` leaves downstream tags intact.
- Updated the extractTaggedBlocks nested-tag tests to the new (stop-at-next-open)
  behavior: `<x><x>inner</x></x>` -> ['inner'].

All vectors still linear; every fix verified in-process.

**Hardened phase/roadmap/plan markdown parsing against quadratic-time (ReDoS) CPU exhaustion** — a crafted `ROADMAP.md`, `STATE.md`, or `PLAN.md` with large runs of unclosed `(`, `[`, `<tag>`, `<!--`, or `<details>` could drive the phase-header, Plans-count, `files_modified`, and `<tag>`-block parsers into O(n²) scans (tens of seconds on a ~1.5 MB file). Every affected regex is now linear: header tag/bracket clauses are length-bounded, the Plans-count scan is section-local, and all `<tag>…</tag>` extraction routes through a single ReDoS-safe seam.
