security: route splitForScoped through envelope sentinel escape

The scoped-token snapshot path in snapshot.ts built its untrusted
block by pushing the raw accessibility-tree lines between the literal
`═══ BEGIN UNTRUSTED WEB CONTENT ═══` / `═══ END UNTRUSTED WEB CONTENT ═══`
sentinels. The full-page wrap path in content-security.ts already
applied a zero-width-space escape on those exact strings to prevent
sentinel injection, but the scoped path skipped it.

Net effect: a page whose rendered text contains the literal sentinel
can close the envelope early from inside untrusted content and forge
a fake "trusted" block for the LLM. That includes fabricating
interactive `@eN` references the agent will act on.

Fix:
  * Extract the zero-width-space escape into a named, exported helper
    `escapeEnvelopeSentinels(content)` in content-security.ts.
  * Have `wrapUntrustedPageContent` call it (behavior unchanged on
    that path — same bytes out).
  * Import the helper in snapshot.ts and map it over `untrustedLines`
    in the `splitForScoped` branch before pushing the BEGIN sentinel.

Tests: add a describe block in content-security.test.ts that covers
  * `escapeEnvelopeSentinels` defuses BEGIN and END markers;
  * `escapeEnvelopeSentinels` leaves normal text untouched;
  * `wrapUntrustedPageContent` still emits exactly one real envelope
    pair when hostile content contains forged sentinels;
  * snapshot.ts imports the helper;
  * the scoped-snapshot branch calls `escapeEnvelopeSentinels` before
    pushing the BEGIN sentinel (source-level regression — if a future
    refactor reorders this, the test trips).
