Add ctxguard: hook-enforced context sanitization

Keeps credentials, company names, personal names and PII out of the model's
context. Enforcement lives in Claude Code hooks rather than in instructions to
the agent: a skill alone cannot protect anything, because by the time the agent
reads a rule the surrounding context has already been sent.

Credentials are removed irreversibly and marked. Entities from a user-supplied
dictionary become stable aliases, rewritten back to real values on their way to
disk and to the shell, so code and commands referring to them still work.

"""Pseudonyms for PII discovered on the fly.
Emails, phone numbers and card numbers appear in volume and cannot be curated by
hand, but they still need to be *reversible* so the agent's edits can be written
back. The forward direction needs no storage at all: the alias is a salted hash of
the value, so it is stable across sessions and machines with the same salt.
Only the reverse direction needs a file, and it is append-only. A single short
`O_APPEND` write is atomic on Linux, so concurrent hook processes cannot corrupt it
and no locking is required.

"""Hook decision logic.
Interception happens entirely in PreToolUse, because that is the only place Claude
Code allows mutation (`updatedInput`); PostToolUse has no `updatedOutput`, and
UserPromptSubmit cannot rewrite the prompt. Everything below follows from that.
THE CENTRAL INVARIANT
`updatedInput` must never contain a real value.
The transcript records the input the tool actually ran with. Putting a rehydrated
company name or hostname into `updatedInput` would therefore place it in the context
window -- the exact leak this plugin exists to prevent. So plaintext only ever
appears in two places, neither of which is the transcript:
* inside `runner.run`, which rehydrates in memory and executes
* inside the PostToolUse twin sync, which rehydrates on its way to disk
Which is why writes are routed to a sanitized twin and copied back afterwards,
rather than being rehydrated in place.

Every case drives a real hook entry point with a real hook payload, in an isolated
