Garry Tan 352c0ced34 fix: adversarial review hardening (rm safety, jq probe, secret redaction, multi-Mac)
/ship Step 11 adversarial review surfaced 7 CRITICAL issues. Five fixed
inline (no behavior regression, 26/26 tests still pass):

bin/gstack-gbrain-source-wireup:

1. **rm -rf path validation** (was: F-c-CRITICAL 9/10).
   Added `safe_rm_worktree` helper that refuses any path not strictly under
   $HOME/, plus dangerous-path allowlist for /, /Users, $HOME root. Replaces
   raw `rm -rf "$WORKTREE"` calls (lines 161, 169 originally). If user sets
   GSTACK_BRAIN_WORKTREE="" or "/", the helper now dies cleanly instead of
   nuking the home dir or root.

2. **jq dependency probe** (was: F-c-CRITICAL 9/10).
   `check_source_state` now hard-fails with a clear message if jq is missing,
   instead of silently returning "absent" → re-add → die-on-duplicate. Plus
   trims whitespace from jq output (`tr -d '[:space:]'`) to defend against
   gbrain emitting `\n` for missing fields. Header comment claimed jq was a
   transitive dep; now we enforce it.

3. **Python heredoc warns on JSON parse failure** (was: F-c-CRITICAL 8/10).
   Previously `except Exception: pass` silently swallowed malformed JSON,
   leaving _locked_url empty and defeating the URL-lock defense. Now writes
   the parse error to a temp file and warns the user that the URL was not
   locked. Also passes the config path via env var (GBRAIN_CONFIG_PATH)
   instead of hardcoded `~/.gbrain/config.json`, respecting any HOME override.

4. **Multi-Mac source-id collision fix** (was: F-c-CRITICAL 9/10).
   When `check_source_state` returns 1 (source exists at different path), the
   helper used to remove + re-add. Two Macs sharing one Supabase brain would
   ping-pong the local_path metadata on every sync. Now: if the existing
   path's basename matches the local worktree's basename (likely another
   machine's local copy of the SAME brain repo), skip re-registration and
   sync against the local worktree. gbrain stores pages by content; metadata
   is informational. No more ping-pong.

5. **Redact DB URL from sync-failure error message** (was: F-c-CRITICAL 7/10).
   `gbrain sync` failures used to echo the full stderr (which can contain
   the postgres connection string with password) into the user's terminal
   and any log redirect. Now we sed-replace any `postgres://...` with
   `postgres://***REDACTED***` before the die() call, and only show the
   last 10 lines.

Bonus minor fix: `die()` now uses `$1` instead of `$*` for the warn
message, so the exit-code arg ($2) doesn't get appended to the warning text.

Acknowledged-but-deferred:
- GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL env exposure on Linux via /proc/$PID/environ. This is
  a Linux-only concern; gstack is Mac-targeted today and macOS restricts
  process env reads. Document as a follow-up if Linux support lands.
- gbrain version parser brittleness if gbrain switches to "v0.18.0" prefix.
  Defensive only; current gbrain output matches `gbrain X.Y.Z` exactly.
- bash 3.2 PIPESTATUS reliability. Tests pass on the host bash version (3.2+
  via macOS); modern bash 5.x is widely available.
