alex s 3c767cdd47 csv injection hardening (#1203)
* fix(report): neutralize CSV formula injection in vulnerabilities.csv

write_vulnerabilities() wrote finding titles straight into vulnerabilities.csv.
The csv module escapes CSV syntax but has no notion of spreadsheet formula
triggers, so a title beginning with =, +, -, @, tab or CR reached the cell
intact and was evaluated when a human opened the file (CWE-1236).

That input is attacker-influenced by design: Strix scans untrusted targets and
the agent quotes target content verbatim into finding titles, so a scanned page
can dictate a cell's literal contents. _validate_required_text only checks the
title is non-blank.

Add csv_safe() and apply it to every cell written. A value starting with a
formula trigger is prefixed with an apostrophe, the standard mitigation:
spreadsheets render the rest as literal text and hide the apostrophe.

This follows the module's existing safe_fence() precedent, which already guards
the markdown path against the same class of attacker-influenced content.

Adds regression tests covering the six trigger characters, that the payload
survives intact behind the guard, and that benign titles are untouched.

* report: single-line titles, exact CSV bytes, accurate csv_safe docstring

Strip control characters from finding titles at the ReportState choke point so
the guard in the CSV writer is defense-in-depth rather than the only layer, and
write artifacts with newline="" so the CSV's own \r\n terminators are not
rewritten to \r\r\n on Windows.

* report: normalize hydrated titles on resume

* report: rewrite finding markdown when resume cleans its title
