fix: content trust boundary markers in browse output

Wrap page-content commands (text, html, links, forms, accessibility,
console, dialog, snapshot) with --- BEGIN/END UNTRUSTED EXTERNAL CONTENT ---
markers. Covers direct commands (server.ts), chain sub-commands, and
snapshot output (meta-commands.ts).

Adds PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS set and wrapUntrustedContent() helper in
commands.ts (single source of truth, DRY). Expands the SKILL.md trust
warning with explicit processing rules for agents.

Clears Snyk W011 (third-party content exposure).
