fix: round 4 security fixes — last-match JSON parser, sanitize core.info output, fix chunk boundary bypass, fix squash dedup

- JSON parser now takes last valid entries block (prevents echoed PR content override)
- Sanitize markdown before core.info() to prevent workflow command injection
- Collect full stdout/stderr before sanitizing (fixes chunk boundary :: split)
- Update mergeSet when adding squash PRs (prevents duplicates)
- Add 5 new tests (42 total)
