feat(security): trust envelope for tracker text at every model-context ingress

Web page content has had a trust envelope since v1.38; tracker text did not —
PR bodies, PR/issue comment bodies, and model-judged issue titles entered
agent context raw. Anyone who can comment on a PR could put instructions in
front of the agent.

New lib/tracker-guard.ts + bin/gstack-issue-guard: every tracker-text read now
emits inside a "BEGIN UNTRUSTED TRACKER CONTENT" envelope. Content is enveloped
even when clean (a pattern scan is not proof of safety); injection-shaped lines
get a visible [INJECTION-PATTERN] label; NFKC + zero-width normalization runs
for DETECTION only (fullwidth/invisible evasion caught, content bytes never
rewritten); forged END banners are zero-width-spliced so they can't close the
envelope early. Fetch failure exits non-zero with NO envelope — never a
fake-trusted empty one. Issue numbers are validated and gh is spawned via argv
arrays. Patterns reuse lib/jsonl-store's INJECTION_PATTERNS single copy plus a
separate TRACKER_EXTRA list (kept separate so decision/learning store
write-rejection semantics don't change).

8 sites wired: greptile findings + replies fetches (metadata/body split — ids
and paths stay machine-raw for reply POSTs), review.ts PR-body reads x2,
land-and-deploy 3.5c, document-release PR/MR body (two-artifact flow: the
enveloped rendering is what the agent READS, the raw tempfile is what the
pipeline mutates, and a write-side banner tripwire aborts any edit that leaked
envelope markup), and spec's issue-title dedupe (titles are model-judged for
similarity, so they're ingress). Title-prefix rewrites and state-routing
fetches are mechanical, not ingress — deliberately not enveloped.

test/tracker-guard-wiring.test.ts is the CI tripwire: raw tracker-text reads
outside the guard fail the suite unless carried by a reasoned SCANNER_EXEMPT
entry; exemptions are liveness-checked so a moved site forces a re-audit.

+/**
+ * tracker-guard — trust envelope for tracker text (PR bodies, PR/issue
+ * comments, issue titles) before it enters an agent's context.
+ *
+ * Threat model: anyone who can comment on a PR or file an issue can put text
+ * in front of the agent. Tracker text is REQUIREMENTS DATA, never authority —
+ * the same posture browse/src/content-security.ts takes for web page content
+ * (browse/src is a separate compiled surface; do NOT import it from lib/ or
+ * bin/ — this file adapts the technique instead).
+ *
+ * Design rules:
+ *   - Envelope ALWAYS, even when no pattern matches: a pattern scan is not
+ *     proof that content is safe. The detector only adds louder labels.
+ *   - Detection-only normalization: NFKC + zero-width stripping defeats
+ *     fullwidth/invisible-character evasion during MATCHING, but the emitted
+ *     content is never NFKC-rewritten.
+ *   - The envelope output is a decorated RENDERING for model context (banner,
+ *     [INJECTION-PATTERN] labels, defused sentinels necessarily modify the
+ *     rendered text). Write-back flows keep a separate RAW artifact; the
+ *     rendering must never round-trip into a PR/MR body (see the banner
+ *     tripwire at the release-body write sites).
+ *
+ * Pattern source: INJECTION_PATTERNS from lib/jsonl-store.ts stays the single
+ * shared copy. TRACKER_EXTRA is deliberately a SEPARATE list (not merged into
+ * jsonl-store's): the shared list is also a write-time REJECTION gate for
+ * decision/learning stores, and widening it would change what those stores
+ * refuse to persist. Envelope labeling is advisory; rejection is not.
