Kjell Tore Guttormsen e5e91df369 feat(entropy): high-entropy/encoded-blob detection with decode-and-rescan (TDD)
Build order step 3. Pure text -> findings detector ported from the
llm-security entropy-scanner seed:

- Length-calibrated Shannon-entropy classification (CRITICAL 5.4/128,
  HIGH 5.1/64, MEDIUM 4.7/40).
- Shape floor: base64-like (len>100) / hex (len>64) reach at least MEDIUM
  even when entropy alone does not trigger — the only path that catches hex
  (16-symbol alphabet caps H at 4.0 < 4.7).
- Decode-and-rescan (must-have): base64 blobs that decode to printable text
  are exposed on EntropyResult.decoded for a later lexicon rescan.
- FP suppression scoped to the text-relevant subset (base64 media data-URI
  prefixes + SRI sha*- prefix); source-code-specific seed rules omitted.

Exposes ported primitives shannon_entropy / is_base64_like / is_hex_blob /
try_decode_base64. 16 new tests; full suite 31 green. Stdlib-only.

"""Tests for high-entropy / encoded-blob detection (build order step 3).
The detector is ``text -> findings`` (design principle 3): pure, no I/O, no
mutation. Two mechanisms, ported from the ``llm-security`` entropy-scanner:
* length-calibrated Shannon-entropy classification
(CRITICAL 5.4/len128, HIGH 5.1/64, MEDIUM 4.7/40), and
* a shape floor — a base64-like blob (len>100) or hex blob (len>64) is at
least MEDIUM even when its entropy alone would not trigger (hex maxes at
H=4.0 < 4.7, so hex is *only* ever caught by the floor).
Plus the must-have: **decode-and-rescan** — base64 blobs that decode to
printable text are exposed on the result so a later stage (lexicon) can rescan
the *decoded* plaintext for injection strings the encoding hid.
