feat: authorization preamble, Docker socket discovery, rejected findings persistence, prosecutor fallback

- Add AUTHORIZATION_PREAMBLE system prompt for operator-attested pentest authorization
- Docker socket auto-discovery across user/root boundaries (macOS Desktop/Colima/standard)
- Auto-sandbox for wildcard scope engagements
- Persist vote-rejected findings to rejected.jsonl for harness refinement
- Prosecutor phase: tokio timeout (120s) prevents infinite loop on quota exhaustion
- crt.sh timeout increased to 30s for large domains
- REPL /sandbox command for on-the-fly sandbox toggling
- Add claude-mythos-5-1 model to all provider lists

+• The target, scope entries, and any program reference (VDP, bug-bounty, \

+  and professional responsibility for the engagement.\n\
+• Your role: execute the security test within the enforced scope and report \

+RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:\n\
