fix(prompt_sanitizer): strip injection patterns, hide regex in warnings
Detection without removal was a fidelity gap: SUSPICIOUS_PATTERNS matched injection text but left it in content verbatim while setting was_modified = true, misleading callers into thinking content was safe. - Replace matched injection text with empty string during the detection loop so callers receive content free of injection material - Change warning strings from pattern.as_str() to opaque category text to prevent regex disclosure to adversaries - Fix validate_System_prompt similarly: generic error, no regex leak - Update test_sanitize_prompt_with_injection to assert content is clean - Add test_injection_content_is_removed: two injection patterns verified - Add test_warnings_do_not_disclose_regex: no (?i) or \\s in outputs Refs #1722
