fix(llm-security): scanner false-positives/negatives — trigger, toxic-flow, policy-loader (#38-#41,#57,#26)

#38 toxic-flow matched trifecta-leg keywords with bare includes(), so substrings ('url' in 'curl', 'key' in 'monkey', 'auth' in 'author') fabricated CRITICAL trifectas on benign components; now word-boundary matched. #40 TRG-broad fired HIGH on a bare any/all/every anywhere ('fix any lint errors'); the universal-claim regex now requires genuine universal phrasing. #41 TRG-baiting substring-matched ('any file' in 'many files'); now boundary-anchored. #39 the broad-name list missed multi-char generic names (helper/assistant/auto/general/agent/tool); widened coherently so it does not reintroduce #40. #57 the '(recovered from obfuscation)' label compared raw against a lowercased normal form, firing on any uppercase char; now gated on an explicit decode-changed flag.

#26 (same file) getPolicyValue used 'key in sectionObj' with no type guard, so a scalar section override in policy.json (e.g. {"injection":"block"}) threw an uncaught TypeError; now guarded to fall back to the default. Suite 1931/0.
