Kjell Tore Guttormsen f835777c1e test(llm-security): add e2e suite proving framework works as coordinated system
Three new files in tests/e2e/ (45 tests, 1777 -> 1822):

- attack-chain.test.mjs (17): full hook stack against attack payloads in
  sequence -- prompt injection at the gate; T1/T5/T8 bash evasions;
  pathguard on .env / .ssh; secrets hook on AWS-shaped keys and PEM
  headers; markdown link-title and HTML-comment poisoning in tool
  output; trifecta accumulation over a single session with dedup on
  the next benign call.

- multi-session.test.mjs (9): state persistence across simulated
  session boundaries. Uses the fact that a hook child's process.ppid
  equals the test runner's process.pid, so writing the session state
  file directly simulates "previous session" history. Covers slow-burn
  trifecta (legs spread >50 calls), MCP cumulative description drift
  via LLM_SECURITY_MCP_CACHE_FILE override, and pre-compact transcript
  poisoning in warn / block / clean / missing-file modes.

- scan-pipeline.test.mjs (19): scan-orchestrator + all 10 scanners +
  toxic-flow correlator against poisoned-project (BLOCK / 95 / Extreme)
  and grade-a-project (WARNING / 48 / High). Asserts envelope shape,
  verdict, risk_score, severity counts, OWASP coverage, scanner
  enumeration, and a narrative-coherence cross-check that the BLOCK
  scan strictly outranks the WARNING scan along every axis.

Test files build credential-shaped payloads at runtime via concatenation
so they contain no literal matches for the pre-edit-secrets regexes
(memory rule feedback_secrets_hook_test_fixtures.md).

Doc updates in same commit per marketplace policy:
- CLAUDE.md header: 1777+ -> 1822+ tests, mentions tests/e2e/
- README.md badge tests-1777 -> tests-1822, body text updated
- CHANGELOG.md: new [Unreleased] Added section describing scope

No version bump. No behavior changes outside tests/.

// attack-chain.test.mjs — End-to-end tests for the hook stack.
//
// Purpose: prove the deterministic hooks work as a coordinated system, not
// just as isolated units. Each scenario simulates a stage of an attack and
// asserts that the corresponding defense hook responds correctly.
//
// Defense narrative under test:
// 1. UserPromptSubmit: pre-prompt-inject-scan blocks malicious prompt
// 2. PreToolUse(Bash): pre-bash-destructive blocks T1-T6 evasions
// + base64-pipe-shell + curl|sh
// 3. PreToolUse(Write): pre-write-pathguard blocks .env / .ssh writes
// 4. PreToolUse(Edit/Write): pre-edit-secrets blocks credential payloads
// 5. PostToolUse(any): post-mcp-verify catches injection in tool
// output (markdown link title, HTML comment)
// 6. PostToolUse(any): post-session-guard accumulates state and
// fires advisory once Rule of Two is satisfied
//
// Multi-session aspects (slow-burn trifecta, MCP cumulative drift,
// pre-compact-scan) are covered by tests/e2e/multi-session.test.mjs.
//
// IMPORTANT — payload assembly:
// Hook regexes for credentials and PEM blocks would match literal payloads
// in this file and the secrets-hook would refuse to even let it be written.
// All such payloads are therefore assembled at runtime via concatenation
// so this file contains no literal credential-shaped strings.
