fix(design-detect): never execute a repository-controlled engine; allow-list --changed targets; sanitize engine text

Pre-landing review findings (security + checklist), all reproduced before the fix:

- A checked-out branch could commit `.claude/skills/impeccable/scripts/bin/<os>-<arch>/impeccable`
  and the probe would report READY and `scan` would run it, with the agent's full
  environment. Launchers and sibling engines under the repo or cwd now count as
  "skill present" only (IMPECCABLE_NOT_CACHED: repository-local install, and the
  hint never names a repository-local launcher to run); only HOME-rooted installs,
  IMPECCABLE_BIN, the cache, and PATH entries outside the repo qualify, all by
  realpath. The engine now sees a minimal environment (PATH, HOME, TMPDIR, locale,
  IMPECCABLE_*), never the agent's tokens.
- `scan --changed <base>` pushed git-derived paths without the allow-list, so a
  committed symlink with a frontend extension handed a file outside the repo to
  the engine. Derived targets now go through the same allow-list as explicit ones
  and symlinks named by git are refused outright.
- A repo-controlled `scripts/VERSION` with embedded newlines forged probe lines;
  the version is trusted only when it is semver, and every printed version is
  sanitized. Engine text containing the untrusted-content fence or a
  `SENTINEL:` prefix is neutralized with a zero-width space
  (neutralizeSentinels in the contract), so page text cannot close the envelope
  or forge a probe line.
- A failing `git diff <base>...HEAD` (unknown or unfetched base) was swallowed
  and read as "no frontend changes"; it is now DETECT_REFUSED with exit 1.
- The scan allow-list root follows `${GSTACK_HOME:-$HOME/.gstack}` like the
  templates and gstack-slug (config.yaml keeps gstack-config's STATE_ROOT
  precedence); a quoted or commented design_detector value reads correctly.

Smaller: raw engine chunks are kept only in --format raw; diagnostics are
capped (200 kept, 20 echoed); the engine identity hash reads size + 4 MB, not
the whole binary; PROBE_STEP and ENGINE_STDERR are contract sentinels; the
--verbose gate covers every probe step; analytics use one sentinel vocabulary;
bare limits live in DETECT_LIMITS. The fake engine's knobs are IMPECCABLE_FAKE_*
(so they pass the minimal env) and a shared test helper installs it. New tests
cover each item above plus clean runs, `{}` parse errors, missing paths, and the
50 MB stdout cap.
