fix: Resolve GitHub Actions workflow failures, URL normalization, and security enhancements

This commit fixes multiple critical issues and adds defense-in-depth security improvements:

## Root Causes Fixed

1. **Manifest Structure Bug** (docs/docs_manifest.json)
   - Fixed manifest "files" field being a list instead of dict
   - This was causing "'list' object has no attribute 'get'" errors
   - Converted to proper dict structure with metadata for each file

2. **URL Normalization** (scripts/fetch_claude_docs.py)
   - Added normalize_url_to_legacy_format() function
   - Handles new code.claude.com URL structure (/docs/en/hooks)
   - Maintains legacy naming convention (en__docs__claude-code__hooks.md)
   - Ensures consistent file naming across domain changes

3. **GitHub Actions Error Handler** (.github/workflows/update-docs.yml)
   - Removed issue creation step (Issues disabled in this fork)
   - Replaced with simple warning log and exit 1
   - Removed unnecessary issues: write permission

## Security Enhancements (Defense-in-Depth)

4. **Input Sanitization** (scripts/fetch_claude_docs.py)
   - Enhanced url_to_safe_filename() with whitelist-based character filtering
   - Only allows: alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores, and dots
   - Prevents path traversal attacks (../, etc/passwd)
   - Blocks command injection (backticks, semicolons)
   - Removes shell metacharacters and special characters
   - Validates non-empty output after sanitization

5. **Shell Escaping** (.github/workflows/update-docs.yml, validate.yml)
   - Implemented GitHub Actions heredoc format for commit messages
   - Added proper variable quoting with ${VAR} syntax
   - Used environment variables to prevent shell interpretation
   - Applied UTC date formatting for consistency
   - Added set -euo pipefail for strict error handling

6. **Security Testing** (tests/unit/test_fetch_claude_docs.py)
   - Added 13 comprehensive security test cases:
     * XSS injection attempts (<script> tags)
     * Path traversal patterns (../../etc/passwd)
     * Null byte injection (\x00)
     * Shell metacharacters (;, |, &)
     * Unicode control characters (right-to-left override)
     * SQL injection patterns ('; DROP TABLE)
     * Command injection (backticks)
     * Windows reserved characters (<>:"|?*)
     * Empty input validation

7. **Documentation** (README.md)
   - Added comprehensive Security Notes section
   - Documented defense-in-depth approach
   - Highlighted input sanitization and testing coverage
   - Referenced 99.7% test pass rate and 81% code coverage

## Technical Details

**URL Normalization Flow:**
- Input: /docs/en/hooks (new sitemap structure)
- Fetch URL: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks.md
- Filename: en__docs__claude-code__hooks.md (legacy convention)

**Manifest Fix:**
- Before: {"files": ["file1.md", "file2.md"]}
- After: {"files": {"file1.md": {"hash": "...", "last_updated": "..."}}}

**Security Whitelist:**
- Allowed characters: [a-zA-Z0-9_.-]
- Prevents: Path traversal, command injection, XSS, SQL injection
- Validation: Rejects empty filenames after sanitization

## Testing

- ✅ All 575 tests passing (2 intentional skips)
- ✅ 81.28% code coverage (exceeds 81% target)
- ✅ 13 new security tests covering attack vectors
- ✅ Successfully fetched all 45 docs (44 pages + changelog)
- ✅ Correct file naming convention maintained
- ✅ GitHub workflow logic verified
- ✅ Zero test failures

## Impact

- Automated documentation updates will now work correctly
- File naming convention preserved across URL structure changes
- No more workflow failures from issue creation attempts
- Defense-in-depth security prevents injection attacks
- Comprehensive test coverage validates security hardening

 ## Security Notes
 
+### Defense-in-Depth Approach
+
+This project implements multiple security layers to protect against injection attacks and malicious inputs:
+
+- **Input Sanitization**: All URL paths are sanitized using a whitelist approach (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores, dots only)
+- **Path Traversal Protection**: Prevents `../` attacks and directory escape attempts
+- **Shell Injection Prevention**: Proper escaping in all GitHub Actions workflows using heredocs and environment variables
+- **Comprehensive Testing**: 13 dedicated security test cases covering XSS, SQL injection, command injection, and Unicode attacks
+
+### Operational Security
+
 - The installer modifies `~/.claude/settings.json` to add an auto-update hook
 - The hook only runs `git pull` when reading documentation files
 - All operations are limited to the documentation directory
