feat(ultraplan-local): defense-in-depth security hardening for executor

Four-layer security model for ultraexecute-local and headless sessions:

Layer 1 — Plugin hooks: pre-bash-executor.mjs (13 BLOCK + 8 WARN rules
with bash evasion normalization) and pre-write-executor.mjs (8 path guard
rules blocking .git/hooks, .claude/settings, shell configs, .env, SSH/AWS).

Layer 2 — Prompt-level security rules: denylist in ultraexecute-local.md
Sub-step D and session-spec-template.md Security Constraints section.
These are the only rules that work in headless child sessions.

Layer 3 — Pre-execution plan validation: new Phase 2.4 scans all Verify
and Checkpoint commands against denylist before execution begins.

Layer 4 — Replace --dangerously-skip-permissions with scoped
--allowedTools "Read,Write,Edit,Bash,Glob,Grep" --permission-mode
bypassPermissions in ultraexecute-local.md, headless-launch-template.md,
and session-decomposer.md. Blocks Agent, MCP, WebSearch in child sessions.

Also adds Hard Rules 14-16: verify command security check, no writing
outside repository root, no writing to security-sensitive paths.

+## Phase 2.4 — Pre-execution security scan
+
+**Runs for all modes except dry-run** (dry-run has its own report format).
+
+Scan every `Verify:` and `Checkpoint:` command in the parsed plan against the
+executor security denylist. This catches dangerous commands before execution begins.
+
+### Extract commands
+
+For each step in the plan, extract the command string from:
+- `Verify:` field (the shell command after the backtick-quoted command)
+- `Checkpoint:` field (the git commit command)
+
+Also extract Exit Condition commands if present.
+
+### Check against denylist
+
+For each extracted command, check against these patterns:
+
+**BLOCK patterns (stop execution immediately):**
+
+| Pattern | Threat |
+|---------|--------|
+| `rm` with both `-r` and `-f` flags (any order) | Recursive force delete |
+| `chmod 777` or `chmod -R 777` | World-writable permissions |
+| `curl`/`wget` piped to `bash`/`sh`/`zsh` | Remote code execution |
+| `eval` with `$`, backtick, or `$(` | Code injection via eval |
+| `mkfs` or `dd` writing to `/dev/sd*`, `/dev/nvme*`, `/dev/hd*` | Disk destruction |
+| `shutdown`, `reboot`, `halt`, `poweroff` | System shutdown |
+| `:(){ :\|:& };:` pattern | Fork bomb |
+| `base64` piped to `bash`/`sh` | Obfuscated code execution |
+| `crontab -e` or writing to `/etc/cron*` | Persistence via cron |
+| `kill -9 -1` or `pkill -9 -1` | Kill all user processes |
+| `history -c` or truncating `~/.bash_history` | Evidence destruction |
+
+**WARN patterns (report but continue):**
+
+| Pattern | Concern |
+|---------|---------|
+| `npm install --save`, `pip install`, `cargo add` | Dependency changes during execution |
+| `git push --force` | History rewrite |
+| `git reset --hard` | Discard uncommitted changes |
+
+### Scan output
+
+For each match:
+```
+Security scan: Step {N} — {description}
+  Command: {command}
+  {BLOCKED | WARNING}: {pattern name}
+```
+
+**If ANY BLOCK pattern is found:**

+SECURITY SCAN FAILED: {count} dangerous command(s) found in plan.
+
+Blocked commands:
+  Step {N}: {command} → {reason}
+
+This plan contains commands blocked by the executor security policy.
+The plan may have been tampered with or contain hallucinated dangerous commands.

+Options:
+  1. Review and fix the plan file: {path}
+  2. Use --dry-run to inspect all commands without executing
+  3. Use --fg for interactive execution (hooks provide additional protection)

+Stop execution. Do NOT continue to Phase 2.5.
