ZeptoClaw: Path boundary checks bypass via symlink, TOCTOU, and hardlink

CVE-2026-32232 [HIGH] ZeptoClaw: Path boundary checks bypass via symlink, TOCTOU, and hardlink
ZeptoClaw: Path boundary checks bypass via symlink, TOCTOU, and hardlink
### Summary
Workspace boundary enforcement currently has three related bypass risks. This issue tracks fixing all three in one pull request.
### Details
#### R1 - Dangling Symlink Component Bypass
- What happens: Path validation can miss dangling symlink components during traversal checks.
- Why it matters: A symlink that is unresolved at validation time can later resolve to an external location.
- Impact: Read and write operations may escape workspace boundaries.
- Affected area: src/security/path.rs (check_symlink_escape).
#### R2 - TOCTOU Between Validation and Use
- What happens: The path is validated first, then used later for filesystem operations.
- Why it matters: A concurrent filesystem change can swap pa
