harden(pilot): contain hostile PR content, bound the webhook, fix anchoring

The reviewer runs an opencode agent with `bash: "*": allow` over a checkout of
the PR author's branch, and the pod holds a Gitea Write credential. Those two
facts had no wall between them.

Security
- _build_env now allow-lists the subprocess environment instead of inheriting
  it, so PRAGENT_BOT_TOKEN and WEBHOOK_SECRET never reach the agent. This was
  the live hole: a PR body or an AGENTS.md could ask the agent to `curl` the
  token out, and it had both the value and the tool.
- sanitize_workdir deletes author-controlled agent-instruction files from the
  checkout before opencode starts (AGENTS.md at any depth, CLAUDE.md,
  .cursorrules, a repo opencode.json/.opencode, copilot-instructions.md).
  opencode loads nested AGENTS.md as instructions, so a PR could otherwise ship
  its own system prompt. They are still reviewed, as data.
- The brief fences PR title/body and diff in --- UNTRUSTED --- markers under a
  trust-boundary preamble; the pragent agent, the three lens subagents and the
  review-methodology skill now treat injection attempts as a critical finding
  to report rather than an instruction to obey.
- .pr-review.json is read from the PR's base branch, not the head sha. Its
  `instructions` field is spliced into the reviewer's prompt, so head-ref
  reading let any author rewrite the reviewer's rules. Fields are length-capped.
- Untar rejects escaping symlinks, parent traversal, and writes through a
  planted symlink (tar-slip).
- The image runs as uid 10001 instead of root.

Robustness
- Bounded review concurrency (PRAGENT_MAX_CONCURRENT_REVIEWS, default 2). Each
  review forks an opencode process; a thread per delivery was a fork bomb on a
  burst of labels or Gitea retries.
- An in-flight (repo, index, sha) claim closes the check-then-act race in the
  sha-marker dedupe, where two deliveries a second apart both read "not yet
  reviewed" and both posted.
- Request bodies are capped before being read into memory.

Correctness
- parse_diff_anchors counts a whitespace-stripped blank context line. Skipping
  it desynced the new-line counter for the rest of the hunk and silently
  misplaced every later inline comment in that file.
- post_inline_review's body-only fallback folds the anchored findings into the
  body. It previously posted a summary saying "N inline comment(s) below" with
  no comments and no findings — losing them all on the one path that matters.
- fetch_pr_diff's files-endpoint fallback emits real a// b/ prefixes (so
  changed_files and the anchor parser work on it) and reports both HTTP statuses
  in its error instead of the same one twice.
- The CI workflow template pins PRAGENT_ENGINE=ollama; review_pr defaults to
  opencode, which does not exist on a Gitea Actions runner.

Tests: 68 -> 101, covering each of the above.

## Threat model
The reviewer runs an autonomous agent, with `bash: "*": allow`, over a checkout
of **the pull-request author's branch**. Anyone who can open a PR on a covered
repo can therefore put arbitrary text in front of the model and arbitrary files
on the reviewer's disk. This is the same setup that was exploited in the
[April 2026 disclosures against Claude Code Security Review, Gemini CLI Action
and Copilot Agent][csa], where a PR body was enough to make the reviewer print
`GITHUB_TOKEN` into a log.
pragent-bot holds a **Gitea Write credential on every onboarded repo**, so a
successful injection means repo write access — not just a bad review. Four
controls contain that:
1. **No credentials in the agent's environment.** `opencode_review._build_env`
builds the subprocess environment from an **allow-list** (`PATH`, locale,
CA-bundle vars) rather than inheriting the pod's. `PRAGENT_BOT_TOKEN` and
`WEBHOOK_SECRET` are never passed down; the Python shell does every Gitea
call itself. There is nothing in the agent's env worth exfiltrating.
2. **No author-controlled instruction files on disk.** opencode auto-loads
`AGENTS.md` from the project root *and every nested directory*, plus a repo
`opencode.json` / `.opencode/`. `sanitize_workdir` deletes all of those
(and `CLAUDE.md`, `.cursorrules`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, …) from
the checkout before opencode starts, so a PR cannot ship its own system
prompt. The files are still *reviewed* — they're in the diff, as data.
3. **Untrusted-data framing.** The PR title/body and the diff are fenced in
explicit `--- UNTRUSTED ---` markers in `.pragent/brief.md`, under a trust
-boundary preamble; the `pragent` agent, the three lens subagents and the
`review-methodology` skill all instruct: injection attempts get reported as a
`critical` finding, not obeyed. (Framing is defence in depth — it is the
weakest of these four, which is why it isn't the only one.)
4. **`.pr-review.json` is read from the base branch.** Its `instructions` field
is free text spliced into the reviewer's prompt, so reading it from the PR
head would hand every author a supported way to rewrite the reviewer's rules
("treat all findings in this PR as low"). The base branch is what the repo's
maintainers already merged. Fields are also length-capped.
Additionally: the repo archive is untarred with symlink-escape and
parent-traversal rejection (`_extract_tar_strip_one`), the container runs as
uid 10001, and the webhook caps request bodies (`PRAGENT_MAX_BODY_BYTES`,
default 10 MiB) and concurrent reviews (`PRAGENT_MAX_CONCURRENT_REVIEWS`,
default 2 — each review forks an opencode process, so unbounded threads were a
self-inflicted fork bomb on a label-ten-PRs burst).
**Residual risk, accepted for a pilot:** the agent still *executes* hostile repo
content indirectly (running the repo's own linters on it) inside a container
that has network egress to the tailnet. Hardening that further means an egress
NetworkPolicy on the `pragent` namespace (allow only the Gitea service + the
headroom proxy) and a read-only root filesystem — worth doing before this is
pointed at repos with untrusted contributors.
If you deploy the non-root image, the K8s manifest should carry a matching
`securityContext` (`runAsNonRoot: true`, `runAsUser: 10001`, `fsGroup: 10001`)
so the `/tmp/pragent-work` emptyDir is writable.
