fix: sweep wave 3 — the execFileSync family gets timeouts (90 sites, 17 files)

The tripwire's regex covered spawnSync/execSync/Bun.spawnSync but not
execFileSync — an entire blocking sync-spawn API family that could
reintroduce the shard-wedge class undetected (ship review army). Same
mechanical recipe as waves 1-2: timeout: 30_000 default, 120_000 for slow
ops, shared wrappers fixed once, string-needle sites skipped with reasons.
