fix: the remote docs name the Edit history diffs as the exception (release review)

"Nothing is copied to the Codeman host" stopped being true when the Edit
history panel started keeping diffs read from a remote session's
transcripts. The README, the wiki's Remote SSH Sessions page and its
Security page now name that exception, in the wording the PR already uses
on Working With Files and in remote-sessions.md.

| **File Viewer** | Real path resolution before boundary checks, so symlinks cannot escape. Sensitive trees blocked. Edit mode adds an extension allowlist, a size cap, `.git` denial, and optimistic concurrency. It never creates files. |
