fix(llm-security): hook coverage — pathguard on Edit, trifecta window, pipe-to-shell, provider keys (#9,#10,#12,#13,#11-doc)

#9 pathguard registered matcher Write only, so an Edit/MultiEdit to an existing protected file (settings.json, .env, .ssh, the hooks themselves) bypassed it entirely; matcher now Edit|Write (the script already reads only tool_input.file_path). #10 the primary trifecta detector's 20-entry window counted marker lines, so accumulated markers scrolled a real leg out (false negative); the window now counts tool-call entries. #13 pre-edit-secrets caught bare provider keys only inside a quoted label assignment; added anchored patterns for Anthropic sk-ant, OpenAI sk-proj, fine-grained github_pat_, Google AIza, and JWT eyJ (minimum-length guarded against prose false positives).

#12 the remote-pipe-to-shell block required a shell immediately after the first pipe, so xargs/sudo/tee/env interposition evaded it and the comment falsely claimed xargs was caught; broadened to reach a shell through intermediate segments while leaving shell-OR fallbacks unblocked. #11 (doc only): knowledge/owasp-skills-top10.md claimed pre-bash-destructive blocks persistence commands — it does not; corrected to mark persistence detection as unimplemented/future (the detector itself is deferred to v8). Suite 2004/0.
