fix(redact): large reports survive the pipe — exitCode instead of process.exit; inert test payload

The wave's PR quality gate failed closed: gate-secret-scan.mjs pipes the
diff's added lines into gstack-redact and parses the JSON report, but
process.exit() discards stdout still buffered in the pipe — this wave's
646-finding report (202 KB) is the first big enough to arrive truncated
(~145 KB) at node's collector, so JSON.parse failed and the gate read
'no report' as HIGH. The report and auto-redact body paths now set
process.exitCode and let the runtime drain stdout; exit-code contract
unchanged (verified 0/2/3 end-to-end). Also: the C1 test's stdin payload no
longer uses a provider-prefix credential shape (the gate correctly flagged
it; the content was never read on the error path under test).
