fix(careful): warn on chained rm even when the last target is safe

The safe-exception block whitelisted rm -rf of build artifacts by
extracting targets with a single greedy match (.*rm ...), which only ever
inspects the LAST rm in the command. A chain like 'rm -rf /; rm -rf
node_modules' was therefore judged solely by its trailing safe target and
allowed without warning, waving through the destructive 'rm -rf /'.

Gate the shortcut to single rm invocations: when any shell separator
(; | & newline, incl. JSON-escaped \n/\r from the grep extraction path)
is present, fall through to the destructive-pattern check, which warns on
any recursive rm. Single-command artifact cleanups still allow.

Adds 3 regression tests covering semicolon and && chains in both orders.
