feat(sandbox): add SandboxAuditMiddleware for bash command security auditing (#1532)

* feat(sandbox): add SandboxAuditMiddleware for bash command security auditing

Addresses the LocalSandbox escape vector reported in #1224 where bash tool
calls can execute destructive commands against the host filesystem.

- Add SandboxAuditMiddleware with three-tier command classification:
  - High-risk (block): rm -rf /, curl|bash, dd if=, mkfs, /etc/shadow access
  - Medium-risk (warn): pip install, apt install, chmod 777
  - Safe (pass): normal workspace operations
- Register middleware after GuardrailMiddleware in _build_runtime_middlewares,
  applied to both lead agent and subagents
- Structured audit log via standard logger (visible in langgraph.log)
- Medium-risk commands execute but append a warning to the tool result,
  allowing the LLM to self-correct without blocking legitimate workflows
- High-risk commands return an error ToolMessage without calling the handler,
  so the agent loop continues gracefully

* fix(lint): sort imports in test_sandbox_audit_middleware

* refactor(sandbox-audit): address Copilot review feedback (3/5/6)

- Fix class docstring to match implementation: medium-risk commands are
  executed with a warning appended (not rejected), and cwd anchoring note
  removed (handled in a separate PR)
- Remove capsys.disabled() from benchmark test to avoid CI log noise;
  keep assertions for recall/precision targets
- Remove misleading 'cwd fix' from test module docstring

* test(sandbox-audit): add async tests for awrap_tool_call

* fix(sandbox-audit): address Copilot review feedback (1/2)

- Narrow rm high-risk regex to only block truly destructive targets
  (/, /*, ~, ~/*, /home, /root); legitimate workspace paths like
  /mnt/user-data/ are no longer false-positived
- Handle list-typed ToolMessage content in _append_warn_to_result;
  append a text block instead of str()-ing the list to avoid breaking
  structured content normalization

* style: apply ruff format to sandbox_audit_middleware files

* fix(sandbox-audit): update benchmark comment to match assert-based implementation

"""Bash command security auditing middleware.
For every ``bash`` tool call:
1. **Command classification**: regex + shlex analysis grades commands as
high-risk (block), medium-risk (warn), or safe (pass).
2. **Audit log**: every bash call is recorded as a structured JSON entry
via the standard logger (visible in langgraph.log).
High-risk commands (e.g. ``rm -rf /``, ``curl url | bash``) are blocked:
the handler is not called and an error ``ToolMessage`` is returned so the
agent loop can continue gracefully.
Medium-risk commands (e.g. ``pip install``, ``chmod 777``) are executed
normally; a warning is appended to the tool result so the LLM is aware.
