πŸ›‘οΈ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix Path Traversal in composite-executor and mcp-server

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: User input injected into API path endpoints could contain .. which encodeURIComponent does not encode, causing directory traversal against backend server APIs.
🎯 Impact: Attackers could access unauthorized APIs.
πŸ”§ Fix: Update encodeURIComponent to manually .replace(/\./g, '%2E') for all dots during parameter interpolation in mcp-server.ts and composite-executor.ts.
βœ… Verification: Ran unit tests covering CompositeExecutor security testing showing failure prior and passing post-fix.

P1 Badge Preserve pre-encoded path params when interpolating URLs

This change now percent-encodes every path value unconditionally, so inputs that are already URL-encoded (for example group%2Fproject, which is explicitly supported in profile parameter docs) are transformed to group%252Fproject. That breaks existing callers that pass encoded project/file paths, because backends like GitLab will receive the wrong identifier and return not found/invalid path errors. The previous behavior intentionally left already-encoded values intact when they did not contain raw /, so this is a backward-incompatible regression in core request routing.
