fix(hooks): memorable hook closes the review army's gaps

- Vendor failures are logged even with empty stderr (a silently hanging
  vendor taxed every prompt invisibly); the stderr tail is withheld when the
  redaction engine finds a credential or PII shape in it; hook-errors.log is
  created 0600.
- Trust-policy veto fails closed when git cannot run or answer in time (it
  read as 'no remote' before); the policy script spawn is bounded by the
  hook's clock; a payload cwd that is not a directory falls back.
- Each secret scan is admitted by the deadline clock (the engine's cost grows
  with match density); stdin is decoded once.
- The pre-spawn gate re-check logs a config failure instead of swallowing it;
  an incomplete stdin read is named as such, not as 'not JSON'.
- Carriage returns are stripped with the other controls.
- The vendor env allowlist adds the standard proxy, TLS and XDG variables so
  a vendor behind a corporate proxy or private CA still reaches its service.
- A stdin EPIPE on a delivered answer is recorded in the outcome, not treated
  as a spawn error.
- Stage caps and the truncation marker are named constants; a test-only
  GSTACK_MEMORABLE_TEST_BUDGET_MS can shorten (never widen) the budget.
