5994d3fac1 fix(security): contain install-state file ops to trusted root — RCE fix (GHSA-hfpv-w6mp-5g95)
Critical: project-local install-state (e.g. a cloned repo's .cursor/ecc-install-state.json)
is attacker-controllable, and repair/uninstall/auto-update replayed its operations with
destinationPath validated only for non-emptiness — confirmed arbitrary file write/delete
and chained RCE (write ~/.bashrc, .git/hooks, or run a planted install-apply.js).

- New scripts/lib/path-safety.js: assertWithinTrustedRoot() canonicalizes (incl. symlink
  escape via nearest-existing-ancestor realpath) and fails closed unless the destination is
  within the adapter-derived trusted root.
- install-lifecycle.js: gate executeRepairOperation + executeUninstallOperation + the
  install-state removal against record.targetRoot (the adapter-resolved root, NOT the
  attacker-supplied state.target.root).
- auto-update.js: validateRepoRoot now requires package.json name to be an official ECC
  package, so a planted nested repo can't drive auto-update into executing attacker code.
- 7 containment regression tests. Existing install-lifecycle/repair/uninstall/auto-update
  suites still green (legit destinations are within the root).
