Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 455c805125 fix(hooks): fail-closed freeze + shared extractor + careful HIGH tier ...

Freeze boundary hook had four verified bugs: the grep-first JSON extractor
truncated at escaped quotes and failed OPEN on unparseable payloads; the deny
JSON was printf-interpolated so a quote- or newline-bearing path silently
no-oped the block; the freeze path read stripped INTERNAL spaces (a boundary
like ~/My Project could never match); and the path resolver skipped the final
component, letting an in-boundary symlink write through to an out-of-boundary
target.

Fixes, structurally: one shared sourced helper (careful/bin/hook-extract.sh)
now owns JSON extraction and JSON-encoded decision envelopes for BOTH hooks --
the two-copy drift is how freeze kept a broken extractor after careful's was
fixed. Freeze is now deny-tier fail-closed (unparseable payload denies,
parsed-but-no-file_path still allows), trims only leading/trailing whitespace,
and resolves symlinks through the final path component.

Careful gains a HIGH tier (hard deny, simple commands only): recursive delete
of /, ~, or $HOME, and force-push to the repo's default branch. Compound
commands always fall through to the MEDIUM ask; --force-with-lease is never
HIGH. Documented as a best-effort advisory hard-stop, not a policy boundary.
Plus additive-only project patterns (~/.gstack/careful-patterns.txt +
per-project file): config can only ADD warn rules, never suppress a baseline
family.

test/hook-scripts.test.ts: 89 tests incl. malformed-payload deny, parseable
deny JSON for hostile paths, space-bearing boundaries, symlink escape, HIGH
tier splits, additive invariant, invalid-regex resilience.
