Devam Shah d28c4b4b1e feat: config-pluggable refusal classifiers and leak detectors
PIIDetector and SandboxEscapeDetector were wired directly in
probe_actor/refusal.py and the refusal classifier manager was populated from
a hardcoded list, so the only way to toggle a bundled detector or add an
organization-specific signature was to patch the module.

Add a DetectorRegistry mapping plugin names to factories, assembled from an
agentic_security.toml [detectors] section via build_from_config. Custom
detectors load by import path ("pkg.module:ClassName"). refusal.py gains
build_refusal_manager(config=None) reading the [detectors] table; all public
symbols are preserved. Built-in leak detectors ship registered but disabled,
so default refusal_heuristic behaviour is unchanged.

Closes #82
