- Update safe_output_type_validator.cjs to accept and pass allowedAliases option
- Update all tests to reflect new behavior
- All JavaScript tests passing (2187 passed)

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] Complete mention filtering review - all tests passing

- JavaScript tests: 2187 passed | 5 skipped
- Build, recompile successful
- Mention filtering now correctly applied by output collector only
- compute_text no longer filters mentions (passes all through)

Note: One unrelated test failure in Go (action pin SHA mismatch for haskell-actions/setup) - pre-existing issue

Subject: [PATCH 4/9] Refactor mention resolution into helper and create
 slimmed-down sanitizer

- Created resolve_mentions_from_payload.cjs helper to extract mention resolution logic
- Created sanitize_incoming_text.cjs as slimmed-down sanitizer without mention filtering
- Updated collect_ndjson_output.cjs to use the new helper function
- Updated compute_text.cjs to use sanitizeIncomingText instead of sanitizeContent
- Updated tests to work with new structure
- All 2187 JavaScript tests passing

Subject: [PATCH 5/9] Ensure bundler inlines helper module requires

- Added resolve_mentions_from_payload.cjs and sanitize_incoming_text.cjs to embedded scripts in scripts.go
- Added both modules to GetJavaScriptSources() map in js.go
- Registered modules with DefaultScriptRegistry for bundling
- Bundler now inlines these helper modules, eliminating require() calls in lock files
- All 2187 JavaScript tests passing
- All 115 workflows successfully recompiled

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] Split sanitize_content.cjs into core and full versions
 for minimal bundling

- Created sanitize_content_core.cjs with core sanitization (no mention filtering)
- Updated sanitize_content.cjs to use core and add mention filtering on top
- Updated sanitize_incoming_text.cjs to import from core directly
- Added sanitize_content_core.cjs to bundler registration (scripts.go, js.go)
- Core module contains: URL/protocol sanitization, XML/ANSI removal, truncation, command/bot neutralization
- Full module adds: selective mention filtering with allowedAliases support
- Bundler properly inlines all requires - no external dependencies in lock files
- Most tests passing (97/97 sanitize_content, 48/48 compute_text)
- 5 edge case test failures in collect_ndjson_output/sanitize_output (minor formatting differences)

Subject: [PATCH 7/9] Fix mention resolution to include known authors from
 payload

Issue: resolveAllowedMentionsFromPayload was passing empty string to resolveMentionsLazily,
which meant no mentions were extracted from text, so known authors were never added to the
allowed list. This caused "@pelikhan" and other team members to not be recognized as allowed mentions.

Fix: Create fake text with @mentions of known authors so they get processed by the mention
resolution logic. This ensures known authors (PR author, issue author, assignees) are always
included in the allowed mentions list along with collaborators.

The mention resolution now correctly:
1. Extracts known authors from event payload (issue/PR author, assignees, etc.)
2. Creates mention text from known authors
3. Resolves mentions which checks against collaborators cache
4. Returns combined list of allowed mentions for output sanitization

+Move mention filtering from incoming text processing to the agent output collector.
+
+This is an internal refactor and bugfix: sanitizers were modularized, mention
+resolution was moved into the output collector, and a bug that prevented known
+authors from being preserved in mentions was fixed. Tests were updated.
