feat(guard): active-content detector wired into the output gate (review MAJOR #1)

Close the EchoLeak wiring hole (CVE-2025-32711 class): markdown images/
links, reference definitions, autolinks, raw active HTML and data: URIs
now surface as report-only findings (active:*, OWASP LLM05) in
scan_output step 6, so screen_output and okf.import_bundle dispose of
them instead of admitting them with findings=[].

- new active_content.py: canonical home of the shared pattern table +
  scan_active_content; neutralize refactored to import it (mutating API
  and behavior unchanged, all neutralize tests pass as-is)
- images/links flagged only for absolute/protocol-relative URLs:
  relative in-bundle links are legitimate wiki/OKF mechanism (principle 5)
- evidence carries defanged URLs only (hxxps://evil[.]example)
- EchoLeak vectors planted in both showcases; detach proofs cover them
- README export list + checklist step 6, CLAUDE.md context line updated

Suite: 321 -> 341 passed. Core invariant intact (dependencies=[]).

"""active_content — report-only detection of active content (the EchoLeak class).
Query-time guardrails guard the answer; this guards the *persisted artifact*.
Active-content constructs in persisted text become an exfiltration channel the
moment a renderer touches them: a markdown image URL is auto-fetched zero-click
(the EchoLeak class, CVE-2025-32711), a link invites the click, raw active HTML
executes. ``lexicon`` and ``entropy`` cannot see these carriers they are
neither injection strings nor high-entropy blobs so this detector is the
gate's coverage for OWASP LLM05 (Improper Output Handling).
This module is the canonical home of the active-content pattern table. Two
consumers share it:
* :func:`scan_active_content` (here) **report-only**: findings feed
``scan_output`` and thence disposition; the text is never touched.
* :func:`~llm_ingestion_guard.neutralize.neutralize` the separate, opt-in
**mutator** that defangs the same constructs for human audit.
One deliberate asymmetry between the two: the scanner flags markdown images and
links only when the URL is absolute or protocol-relative. A relative in-document
link has no attacker-reachable endpoint, and flagging it would silently
over-block legitimate wiki/OKF content (design principle 5) cross-linking is
those formats' core mechanism. ``neutralize`` keeps its broader defang-anything
behavior: it is opt-in, and bracketed dots in a relative path are auditable,
not blocking.
Scan order mirrors ``neutralize``'s pass order, with each matched construct
masked out of the working text before the next pass so a construct is counted
once by its most specific class (an image is not also a link; an autolink is
not also raw HTML), exactly as the sequential rewrites guarantee in the mutator.
**Evidence hygiene:** a finding's ``evidence`` carries the *defanged* URL
(``hxxps://evil[.]example``) the report must be safe to log and render
without recreating the affordance it flagged.

"""Tests for the report-only active-content detector (review 2026-07, Session A).
``scan_active_content`` closes the EchoLeak wiring hole (CVE-2025-32711): the
active-content classes ``neutralize`` can defang markdown images/links,
reference-link definitions, angle-bracket autolinks, raw active HTML, ``data:``
URIs must also surface as *findings* on the standard gate, so
``screen_output`` and ``okf.import_bundle`` dispose of them instead of admitting
them silently (OWASP LLM05 Improper Output Handling).
Report-only twin of ``neutralize`` (design principles 3 & 4): it never mutates,
and severities mirror the defanger's (image / raw-html / data-uri HIGH, links
MEDIUM). One deliberate divergence: markdown images/links are flagged only when
the URL is absolute or protocol-relative a relative in-document link carries
no exfiltration affordance, and flagging it would silently over-block legitimate
