Manfred RiemandCopilot App c032a2e108 fix(extensions): add symlink/realpath containment and pin research host allowlist
Address the third review round on github/spec-kit#3568:

- Path safety (intake, research, define, shape, decide): slug
  normalization blocks lexical `..` but not symlinked path components.
  Each command now, before any mkdir/read/write, resolves the real path
  of .specify/assessments/<slug>/ and every artifact, refuses to follow a
  symlinked .specify / assessments / slug dir / artifact, and verifies the
  resolved path stays inside the project root. This blocks a cloned or
  crafted project from redirecting reads/writes outside the repository.
  Each stage enforces this independently since research/define/decide can
  run without intake.
- research URL policy: replaced the open-ended "and comparable well-known
  hosts" no-prompt branch with intake's exact enumerated allowlist, so an
  agent cannot classify an attacker-controlled host as "comparable" and
  fetch it without confirmation.
- README: guardrail now documents symlink/realpath containment.
