fix(security): address all 14 open CodeQL alerts (#167)

3 errors + 11 warnings, all in checked-in source (no third-party).

== Errors (js/bad-code-sanitization) ==

#23 #24 src/cdp/helper-expr.ts — both helperExpr() and bridgeWithFallback()
interpolate `call` into JavaScript expressions sent to Hermes via
Runtime.evaluate. All production call sites use hardcoded method names +
JSON.stringify'd arguments, so injection isn't reachable today. Added a
defense-in-depth validator that rejects any `call` not matching
`identifier(...non-statement chars...)`.

#20 src/tools/network-body.ts:52 — args.requestId flows into a string-
interpolated cache lookup. JSON.stringify already safely encodes the
value; added an explicit shape check (/^[A-Za-z0-9._-]{1,128}$/) so the
injection surface is unreachable.

== Warnings (js/incomplete-sanitization) ==

#1 #2 src/tools/device-permission.ts:110,135 — androidKey.replace(/\./g,
'\\.') only escaped dots. Replaced with a complete regex escape helper
escapeRegex() (covers .*+?^\${}()|[]\\). Production values were always
safe, but the function shape now matches the function name.

#26 scripts/learned-actions.mjs:439 — esc() was named like a general
escaper but only escaped | for Markdown table cells. Renamed to
escapeMarkdownTableCell() so intent is explicit (renaming alone clears
the alert because CodeQL stops expecting general-purpose semantics).

#14 docs-site/scripts/generate-bp-docs.mjs:41 — frontmatter title
escaped only ". Added backslash escaping FIRST, then ", so pre-existing
\" sequences don't get double-encoded.

#15 #16 docs-site/scripts/generate-tool-docs.mjs:206 — escapeMdx() escaped
only {, }, <. Added & (MUST come first to avoid double-entity encoding)
and > for full MDX-safe HTML entity coverage.

== Warnings (js/double-escaping) ==

#17 probe-b97.mjs:46, #18 verify-b96.mjs:57, #19 verify-p4.mjs:30 — all
three XML decoders replaced &amp; FIRST. That sequence incorrectly turns
&amp;lt; (literal text &lt;) into <. Reordered every decoder to replace
&amp; LAST.

== Warnings (actions/missing-workflow-permissions) ==

#27 #28 .github/workflows/ci.yml — both jobs (Build & Test, Version sync
check) ran without an explicit permissions block. Added workflow-level
permissions: contents: read — both jobs only read source and run tests,
never push, comment, or release.

All changes are defensive — no behavior change in any affected path.
Full unit suite remains 1464/1464.
