security: Unicode-aware prompt-injection guard (#39)

checkPromptInjection now NFKD-normalises, strips zero-width / combining chars, and folds common Cyrillic / Greek homoglyphs before matching. 10 documented bypass examples (fullwidth, ZWJ, ZWSP, soft-hyphen, Cyrillic е/о, combining marks, LRM, BOM) are covered by unit tests. Security docs explicitly mark the guard as defense-in-depth — real boundary is per-tool requirePermission. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
