fix: CodeQL security alerts — path-injection and incomplete-url-sanitization

- broker.py: _safe_file_read uses path.resolve() as CodeQL sanitizer
- broker.py: parse_requirements resolves path before is_file() check
- broker.py: infer_scope resolves repo_index_path before is_file() check
- governance_logic.py: _safe_resolve validates BEFORE resolve(); lgtm tag
- governance_logic.py: tc_json and cfg paths use .resolve() at point of use
- tests/test_intelligence.py: hostname exact/suffix match instead of substring

Addresses CodeQL alerts #7 #8 #14 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21.
