fix: resolve 12 CodeQL security findings

py/path-injection (10 findings):
- governance_logic.py: add _safe_resolve() helper that rejects null bytes
  and .. traversal components before Path.resolve(); use it in
  run_preflight(), run_verify(), and _read_confidence_threshold()
- broker.py: add _safe_file_read() helper with the same validation;
  apply in parse_requirements() and infer_scope() before all file reads

py/http-response-splitting (1 finding):
- governance_logic.py: strip CR/LF from req_role, effective_model, and
  effective_provider before writing them to X-Specsmith-* response headers

py/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization (1 finding):
- tests/test_intelligence.py: replace bare 'in e.base_url' substring check
  with urlparse() hostname comparison for the OpenAI URL assertion
