`relPlanningPath(workstream)` previously called `posix.join('.planning',
'workstreams', workstream)` without validating the workstream argument.
Direct SDK callers — and `planningPaths` / `ContextEngine` which both
forward through `relPlanningPath` — could pass values like
`'../../../outside'`, `'foo/bar'`, or `'foo\\bar'` and route planning
operations outside the intended `.planning/workstreams/<name>` subtree.
The env-sourced workstream code path in `planningPaths` already validated
via `validateWorkstreamName` (line 444-445, pre-filtering to `null` on
failure per the #2791 silent-fallback contract). Explicit SDK arguments
had no equivalent gate.
Fix: validate inside `relPlanningPath` using the same shared
`validateWorkstreamName` policy. Every caller — direct SDK use,
`planningPaths`, `ContextEngine` — fails closed at the same seam.
Empty/undefined workstream still returns `.planning` for back-compat
(treated as "no workstream provided"); non-empty invalid names throw a
synchronous Error with the offending value in the message.
Env-sourced behaviour is unchanged: `planningPaths` continues to filter
invalid env values to `null` before they reach `relPlanningPath`, so the
silent-fallback path for malformed `GSD_WORKSTREAM` env still works.
Regression test
(sdk/src/bug-3589-planning-paths-validation.test.ts):
- 9 traversal/invalid cases (.., /, \\, spaces, .hidden, /abs,
-leading-hyphen) all throw with a `/workstream/i`-matching message.
- Valid names (`frontend`, `api_v2`, `alpha.beta-1`) continue to
produce the expected `.planning/workstreams/<name>` path.
- `planningPaths('/tmp', '../../../outside')` rejects before path
construction (proven via try/catch — resultPath stays null).
- Valid workstream + `planningPaths` produces the expected subtree
(`.planning/workstreams/frontend/STATE.md` etc.).
- Omitted workstream still returns root `.planning` with no `workstreams`
segment.

relPlanningPath() now validates explicit workstream names — direct SDK callers passing a workstream argument to relPlanningPath, planningPaths, or ContextEngine previously had no path-traversal gate. A value like '../../../outside' flowed through posix.join('.planning', 'workstreams', name) and routed planning operations outside the intended .planning/workstreams/<name> subtree. The fix runs the shared validateWorkstreamName policy inside relPlanningPath so every consumer fails closed at the same seam. Env-sourced workstreams continue to fall back silently to root .planning/ per the #2791 contract (they are filtered to null by planningPaths before reaching relPlanningPath).
