Tom Boucher 09b535ac00 feat(#2481): add a negotiated effortSurface axis and wire invocation-time effort
ADR-1239 gains a ninth negotiated axis, effortSurface (argv | none), declaring how
a host accepts reasoning effort. ADR-443 is amended in the same change because its
recorded deferral is what the axis resolves: its Unblock condition offered paths
(a) and (b) and stated the choice was 'a maintainer call this file records but does
not make'. Path (a) is selected and satisfied here.

Before this, effort reached a runtime only through install-time channels
(EFFORT_RENDERING's frontmatter/api), so reviewer CLIs spawned as subprocesses
silently inherited whatever effort sat in the user's own global CLI config. The
review lane now resolves one universal effort through the ADR-443 cascade and
renders it per host through the negotiated descriptor.

Every per-host value is documentation-sourced, never inferred:
- claude   argv  -- verified via 'claude --help' (--effort <level>)
- opencode argv  -- verified via 'opencode run --help' (--variant)
- codex    argv  -- codex-rs/exec/src/cli.rs: model_reasoning_effort is NOT a CLI
                    flag (config.toml key only), so the global -c override is the
                    only argv route
- 15 hosts undocumented -- their docs state no reasoning setting; the sentinel
                    fails closed rather than inheriting a profile baseline

No config-file vocabulary member: the only host that ever had one (Gemini CLI's
thinkingConfig) was removed as a sunset runtime by 8f2ebbe9b (#1928, PR #1996),
and neither Antigravity CLI nor ZCode documents a reasoning setting.

Closes #2481

/**
* Codebase-wide prompt injection scan
*
* This test suite scans all files that become part of LLM agent context
* (agents, workflows, commands, planning templates) for prompt injection patterns.
* Run as part of CI to catch injection attempts in PRs before they merge.
*
* What this catches:
* - Instruction override attempts ("ignore previous instructions")
* - Role manipulation ("you are now a...")
* - System prompt extraction ("reveal your prompt")
* - Fake system/assistant/user boundaries (<system>, [INST], etc.)
* - Invisible Unicode that could hide instructions
* - Exfiltration attempts (curl/fetch to external URLs)
*
* What this does NOT catch:
* - Subtle semantic manipulation (requires human review)
* - Novel injection techniques not in the pattern list
* - Injection via legitimate-looking documentation
*
* False positives: Files that legitimately discuss prompt injection (like
* security documentation) may trigger warnings. The allowlist below
* exempts known-good files from specific patterns.
