CC capability lockdown: shared credential mount + curl|sh RCE closed (+5 hardenings spec'd) (#302)

* fix(security): lock down shared Claude Code credential mount + curl|sh RCE

Audit of Claude Code capabilities reachable inside a spawned agent
container turned up two live gaps against the shared harness state:

- Every agent container bind-mounts the host's ~/.claude (OAuth store) and
  ~/.claude.json read-write (_build_mount_args) — the shared subscription
  auth used by the whole fleet. Nothing denied the native Read tool or the
  bash-guard hook from reading .credentials.json / .claude.json, so any
  role could exfiltrate the harness's own Claude Code auth. Deny both at
  the settings.json layer (absolute // form, per the #167 gotcha) and in
  the bash-guard hook's credential-exfil checks (cat/grep/source/base64/
  interpreter one-liners), mirroring the existing .netrc/.git-credentials
  treatment.
- The bash-guard hook only blocked curl/wget to github.com or internal
  hosts; `curl <any other host>/install.sh | bash` (or `bash <(curl ...)`,
  `eval "$(curl ...)"`) executed untrusted remote code unchecked. New
  checks deny piping a fetch into an actual shell (sh/bash/zsh/dash/ksh)
  while leaving non-executing consumers (tar, jq, -o file) untouched.

Also add --disable-slash-commands to every container agent spawn: skills
resolve independently of the --tools allowlist, so a contaminated shared
~/.claude could otherwise leak host skills/plugins into an agent session.
No RoboCo role's workflow uses a Claude Code skill.

64 -> 78 shell bash-guard cases, 54 -> 71 pytest bash-guard cases, plus a
new 5-case settings/CLI test module. ruff/mypy/xenon B clean.

### Fixed
- **Claude Code capability lockdown — shared credential mount + curl|sh RCE closed.** An audit of every capability reachable inside an agent container found the fleet-shared Claude OAuth credentials (`~/.claude/.credentials.json`, `~/.claude.json`) readable by every role and exfiltrable through externally visible surfaces (a PR body, an agent note) — now denied at both the `settings.json` permission layer (correct `//`-absolute form) and the bash-guard hook. Also closed: arbitrary `curl|wget | sh`-shaped remote-code execution (the old rule only denied github.com; now any-host pipe/`<(…)`/`eval $(…)` into a shell is blocked, scoped to shells so data pipelines are untouched), and skill/slash-command loading (`--disable-slash-commands`) as an ungated capability channel. Conservative bar throughout — every deny carries a test proving legit flows still pass; four deeper hardenings (docker egress allowlist, read-only `~/.claude` carve-out, per-agent workspace isolation, SDK turn caps) are spec'd for follow-up rather than guessed at, given the venv-brick precedent.
- **MegaTask intakes get their architectural-conventions block.** `_resolve_intake_ambient` threaded the multi-project `project_ids` scope to the history digest but not to the conventions resolver, so a MegaTask intake saw no conventions ambient even with the flag on. Both sub-resolvers now share one id→project resolution path and cover all three scopes; regression test pins the threading to both.
- **MegaTask root-subtasks can complete through the Main-PM path.** `_main_pm_complete_guard` and `TaskService.escalate_to_ceo` refused ANY parented task as "not a root" — but a batch root-subtask is parented (the umbrella) BY DESIGN while carrying its own project/branch/PR. Both sites now consult `is_batch_root_subtask` (the single-source identity predicate the other exemption sites already use), so `complete` → CEO escalation works for batch roots while plain subtasks stay refused. Found by e2e scenario 4 on its first run; live root-subtasks previously needed CEO god-mode to close.
