fix: remaining 5 high-severity issues — security + error handling

Security (H1/H2/H8):
- Prompt injection defense: all LLM prompt templates now use explicit
  ---BEGIN/END--- delimiters around user-provided text, instructing
  the model to treat content as data not instructions
- C server binds to 127.0.0.1 by default (was 0.0.0.0), requires
  explicit -H flag to expose to network

Error handling:
- B3: Gist LLM summary gracefully handles server errors (falls back
  to head_text instead of parsing error string as summary)
- B11: C server uses pthread_mutex_trylock → 429 response instead of
  blocking indefinitely when another request is being processed

This completes all 19 high-severity issues from the 130-point audit.
