feat(grok): prompt-injection guard for Grok (parity with the Claude hook)

The injection guard is RoboCo's own hook (user-prompt-hook.sh), not a runtime
built-in, so it can be recreated at our input boundary regardless of runtime —
opencode's lack of a blocking pre-prompt hook is irrelevant.

- prompt_guard.detect_injection: the deny patterns ported to reusable Python.
- IntakeDriver._run_turn scans every interactive turn before sending it to the
  model and denies a match as an error chunk. Covers BOTH Grok (opencode) and
  the Claude SDK intake (which runs with setting_sources=[] and so never loaded
  the bash hook — it was unguarded too).
- The one-shot grok entrypoint scans ROBOCO_INITIAL_PROMPT and refuses a
  poisoned task prompt (parity with the Claude UserPromptSubmit deny).
- Broadened the pattern (Python + the bash hook, kept in sync) to catch the
  multi-qualifier canonical phrasing "ignore all previous instructions", which
  the single-qualifier original missed — without false-positiving on
  "ignore the linting rules" (an intermediate non-qualifier word breaks it).

So Grok now has the command/secret-exfil guard (secret-scrub), the cost cap,
AND the injection guard. Verified: 94 agent_sdk tests pass; bash + Python agree
on detect/miss cases.

+"""Prompt-injection guard — shared detector for incoming agent turns.
+
+RoboCo's prompt-injection guard is its OWN hook (``docker/scripts/user-prompt-hook.sh``,
+a Claude Code UserPromptSubmit hook), not a runtime built-in. opencode has no
+blocking pre-prompt hook, but it doesn't need one: the guard belongs at RoboCo's
+input boundary, in our own code, regardless of runtime. This ports the deny
+patterns to reusable Python so the same guard applies to:
+
+  * interactive sessions (intake / secretary) — the ``IntakeDriver`` scans each
+    turn before sending it to the model, covering BOTH Claude (whose SDK session
+    runs with ``setting_sources=[]`` and so never loads the bash hook) and Grok
+    (opencode, no blocking pre-prompt hook);
+  * one-shot Grok agents — the grok entrypoint scans ``ROBOCO_INITIAL_PROMPT``.
+
+Content delivered to an agent (an A2A skill request, a PM's task description, an
+external notification) is DATA, not instructions. A turn matching a classic
+jailbreak pattern is rejected so the model never plans on poisoned content. The
+patterns mirror ``user-prompt-hook.sh`` exactly so Claude and Grok agree.
