navigate_bundle's out-of-bundle filter drops every '/'- and '\'-bearing
target before resolution, but a NUL-byte target carries no path separator
and slipped through to (bundle_dir / target).resolve(), which raises
ValueError: embedded null character — propagating instead of being skipped.
method-spec §72 requires a broken cross-link to be tolerated (skipped,
never raised). Wrap resolve/is_file in `except ValueError: continue`;
parse_concept_file stays outside the guard so malformed concept files
still raise.
Load-bearing test drives the first dangerous target THROUGH the filter
into resolution; detach-proved RED (ValueError propagates) when the guard
is removed. Closes the nullbyte item reported OPEN in OKF trinn E.
442→443 green, golden byte-exact, full gate clean (ruff+format+mypy strict).
