fix: keep credential files out of the file routes and Discord uploads (release review)

The Discord bot token was readable through the attachment routes, because
discord.json was not on the sensitive list, and so were webhook.json,
custom-model-hosts.json and the generated custom-model configs. Config backups
were the wider gap: a dated copy of users.json or settings.json matched none of
the name-anchored patterns. All are blocked now.

`codeman notify --file` relied on folder confinement alone, which holds nothing
back when a tab's folder is the home directory, and it would also post a
workspace .env. It now applies the attachment blocklist to the real path.

## Files
- **Received:** files you attach to a reply from an allowed user are saved as `<working folder>/.codeman-discord/<message id>-<name>` (mode 0600) and the one-line reply the CLI sees ends with `[attached: <paths>]`. At most 5 files of 8 MB each; names are reduced to letters, digits, `.`, `_` and `-`; only Discord's own HTTPS addresses are fetched. Anything skipped is named in the thread. The folder ignores itself (it holds a `.gitignore` of `*`), so nothing in it is committed. Remote (ssh) tabs have no local folder, so no file is saved for them.
- **Sent:** `codeman notify "message" --file <path>` uploads a regular file of at most 8 MB. The real path (symlinks followed) must be inside the tab's working folder, which stops an upload of something outside it by mistake. The agent runs as your user, so this is a guard against accidents, not a sandbox. Remote tabs cannot send files.
- **Sent:** `codeman notify "message" --file <path>` uploads a regular file of at most 8 MB. The real path (symlinks followed) must be inside the tab's working folder, and a file on the attachment blocklist (`.env`, keys under `.ssh`, Codeman's own state) is refused even there, which stops an upload of something sensitive by mistake. The agent runs as your user, so this is a guard against accidents, not a sandbox. Remote tabs cannot send files.
- A downloaded file is untrusted content: only allowed users can send one, but a CLI that opens it is exposed to anything written inside it.

- **A second server-side outbound channel through the web-tab egress guard (§10b).** Delivery goes through `webviewFetch`, so link-local and cloud-metadata targets are refused at save time and again on the RESOLVED address at connect time; redirects are not followed (`redirect: 'manual'`) and each send is bounded by a 5 s timeout. Loopback and RFC1918 stay allowed on purpose (a self-hosted ntfy is the point), so **Send test** works as a blind reachability probe (status, refused or timed out, never a response body) for whoever may call it. Web tabs already give that caller full LAN reach with bodies, so nothing new is exposed.
- **The URL is a bearer secret** (anyone holding a Slack or Discord webhook URL can post as it). It lives in `~/.codeman/webhook.json` (0600, tmp+rename), is kept out of `settings.json` (which every logged-in user reads through `GET /api/settings`), is never returned (`GET /api/webhook` gives scheme + host only), and never appears in a log line, a delivery result or an error message.
- **Discord bridge** (`src/discord-bridge.ts`, [setup](discord-bridge.md)): the bot token lives in `~/.codeman/discord.json` (0600, tmp+rename) and is never returned, logged or put in an error. Inbound replies are typed into a session only from `allowedUserIds`, in the configured guild, inside a thread the bridge created; anything else is dropped unread. A reply becomes one printable line plus Enter, capped at 1000 characters and one per second per tab. Posts send `allowed_mentions` limited to the allowlisted ids, so agent output cannot ping a server. **Files:** an attachment is fetched only from Discord's own HTTPS hosts (no redirects followed), at most 5 per reply and 8 MB each, saved 0600 under `<tab folder>/.codeman-discord/` with the name reduced to `[A-Za-z0-9._-]`; a file a CLI sends must be a regular file whose real path (symlinks followed) lies inside its own tab's folder, which stops a file outside that folder being uploaded by mistake, and remote sessions send and receive none. A received file is untrusted content to whatever opens it. **What the checks do not stop:** the agent runs as the same OS user, so the path check prevents accidental uploads, not a determined agent that pastes a file's contents into the message. **What leaves the machine:** a permission or question alert sends the rendered screen (whatever the agent printed), and a finished turn or an error sends the CLI's whole last message, read from its transcript (up to 8 posts of 1,900 characters). `idle_prompt` is a warning, so with the default scope every Claude turn left unanswered for a minute is posted, and with **Which events** set to Everything every turn end is; treat the Discord server as holding that output. **Multi-user:** the bridge is one allowlist for the whole server, so an allowlisted Discord account can type into every user's sessions; only an admin can configure it. **Startup hint:** a fixed text (no user input) is added to Claude's system prompt; no other CLI is sent it. The bridge only dials out (REST and the gateway WebSocket), so it needs no inbound exposure. A Discord account on the allowlist can drive agents that run shell commands: it needs 2FA.

- **It carries session data to a third party.** Titles and bodies include session names, tool names and error text, all agent- or user-controlled, so Discord gets `allowed_mentions: { parse: [] }` and Slack's `& < >` are escaped: agent output cannot ping a channel. In multi-user mode all three routes are admin-only and the channel is instance-wide: it receives every user's session events, the same reach an admin's own Web Push has, which means non-admins' session details leave the box at the admin's choice.
