v1.91.47.0 fix(careful,freeze): safety hooks cover PowerShell and NotebookEdit (#3077)

* fix(careful): check PowerShell tool commands and nested pwsh/cmd (#3067)

/careful and /guard matched only the Bash tool, so on Windows, where
Claude Code's PowerShell tool is the primary shell, the guard never ran.
check-careful.sh also had no PowerShell or cmd patterns.

- careful/guard register a PowerShell matcher beside Bash.
- hook-extract.sh gains gstack_hook_extract_tool: one parser call reads
  tool_name with the field, so dispatch adds no fork.
- check-careful.sh runs one PowerShell/cmd pattern table on PowerShell
  tool commands and on the tail of any Bash command that launches
  pwsh/powershell/cmd: Remove-Item and aliases with -Recurse/-Force
  prefixes, rd/rmdir/del/erase /s, Format-Volume, Clear-Disk,
  Clear-Content, [IO.Directory]/[IO.File]::Delete, and asks with an
  explanation for -EncodedCommand, iex, Start-Process of a shell and
  & $cmd. Command-position anchors keep Bash negative controls allowed.
- /careful documents the coverage as best-effort and points to Claude
  Code permission deny rules.

* fix(freeze): NotebookEdit respects the freeze boundary (#3067)

NotebookEdit was in no freeze/guard/investigate matcher, and
check-freeze.sh read only file_path, so notebook edits ignored /freeze on
every platform. NotebookEdit carries tool_input.notebook_path.

- freeze, guard and investigate register a NotebookEdit matcher beside
  Edit and Write.
- check-freeze.sh reads file_path, then notebook_path, through the shared
  extractor; denials name the tool, the field, the boundary and
  /unfreeze. A helper without the combined reader denies as out of date.

* test: run hook-scripts on the Windows lane (#3067)

The careful/freeze hooks are Windows coverage, but test/hook-scripts.test.ts
was excluded from windows-free-tests by the raw /tmp/ pattern; its /tmp/
literals are payload strings that are never opened. Admit it by name and
gate the three cases Windows runners cannot host: a symlink (no Developer
Mode), a newline in a directory name, and a POSIX ':' PATH prefix.

* chore(evals): check-careful.sh is free-only for PR selection

No paid fixture copies or runs careful/bin/check-careful.sh (the
investigate boundary fixture copies hook-extract.sh and check-freeze.sh
only); test/hook-scripts.test.ts covers it. As an unknown dependency it
restored the full paid gate on every /careful hook change.

* fix(careful): hook payload reader survives Windows text-mode Python and backslash source paths

windows-free-tests (run 37739845723) showed every PowerShell-tool case
falling through: Python's text-mode stdout on Windows wrote tool_name as
"PowerShell\r", so dispatch never matched, and freeze denials carried
stray CRs. gstack_hook_extract_tool now reads and writes bytes.

hook-extract.sh also located gstack-state-root.sh with ${BASH_SOURCE%/*},
which strips nothing when the file is sourced through a C:\... path, so
gstack_hook_state_root vanished (state-root parity case on the same run).

* fix(evals): PR lane selects office-hours-auto-mode by its real test name

The PR paid lane filters audited files with -t built from
CASE_TEST_NAMES[id] ?? id. office-hours-auto-mode's Bun test is named
'AskUserQuestion surfaces when --disallowedTools AskUserQuestion is set',
so the filter matched 0 tests and the shard failed (#3077 eval-slices (6),
run 37741434771). Map the label, and check every audited PR-profile case
is addressable by name. Recorded as non-behavioral for HARNESS_VERSION.
