Kjell Tore Guttormsen d441abba20 feat(post-mcp-verify): E7 — scan HTML comment nodes for injection
The existing CRITICAL pattern in injection-patterns.mjs only fires when
a comment body contains AGENT/AI/HIDDEN markers. Adversaries can drop
the marker and still hide instructions inside <!-- ... --> for any
agent that reads page source. This generalizes the comment scan: every
comment body is HTML-entity-decoded and run through the full
injection rule set. The existing keyword-restricted pattern still
fires (defense-in-depth).

Emits at the strongest tier with category html-comment-injection.

+3 tests (65 → 68).

// post-mcp-verify.test.mjs — Tests for hooks/scripts/post-mcp-verify.mjs
// Zero external dependencies: node:test + node:assert only.
//
// This hook is advisory-only: it always exits 0.
// When it finds something suspicious it emits JSON { systemMessage: "..." } to stdout.
//
// v2.3.0: Expanded to test ALL tool types (not just Bash).
// v5.0.0: Tests for MEDIUM injection patterns in tool output advisory.
// Fake credential patterns are assembled at runtime so this source file does not
// self-trigger the pre-edit-secrets hook when written by Claude Code.
