fix(3587): address codex-review findings on PR #3611

Browse Source 
Codex review surfaced 2 MED + 2 LOW in-scope findings (3 LOW were
pre-existing or out-of-scope, see below); all in-scope items addressed:

1. (MED, test sensitivity) The gh probe test only checked the boolean
   return shape, so a future change that re-introduces shell-string
   execSync for the gh path would pass. Added an
   `architectural-invariant` structural test that reads the production
   source file and asserts:
     - no `execSync(` call appears anywhere in code,
     - no `spawnSync` with `shell: true`,
     - `execFileSync` is the only imported child_process primitive,
     - every options object explicitly pins `shell: false`.
   This is the canonical pattern from CONTRIBUTING.md for invariants
   that behavioral tests can't observe — the defect is the *presence*
   of the shell parsing primitive, not its output.

2. (MED, cross-platform) The execFileSync options didn't explicitly pin
   `shell: false`. Default is already false, but spelling it out (a)
   documents the architectural invariant at the call site, (b) prevents
   a future options-spread refactor from silently flipping it, and
   (c) hardens against a Windows `git.cmd` shim path that could
   otherwise route through cmd.exe.

3. (LOW, test visibility) The exploit-blocked test silently `return`ed
   when git rejected the payload branch name on a stricter platform,
   turning a coverage loss into a stealth pass. Replaced with vitest's
   `ctx.skip()` so a lane that loses coverage now shows up in the skip
   count.

Out of scope, intentionally not changed:
- The `try/finally` at sdk/src/query/check-ship-ready.test.ts:79 is
  pre-existing test code from before this PR. One-concern-per-PR rule
  says no drive-by cleanup.
- The "use createTempGitProject helper" suggestion: that helper lives
  in tests/helpers.cjs (root, node:test world). SDK tests use vitest
  with their own ad-hoc tmpdir pattern; matching the SDK convention.
- The afterEach cleanup uses `rm` directly, matching the surrounding
  SDK test convention; not changing without broader SDK-side refactor.

Validation:
- SDK unit suite via vitest: 1,870/1,870 pass (+1 invariant test).
- Full root suite via gsd-test-both: 10,676/10,676 Mac AND Linux Docker,
  zero cross-platform diff.
