Round 3 fixes: SIGKILL, workflow commands, npm env, case-insensitive sanitization

Security:
- Fix SIGKILL fallback: always send after grace period, store/clear inner timer
- Sanitize stdout/stderr to prevent workflow command injection (:: prefix)
- Pass minimal env to npm install (was leaking all secrets to install scripts)
- Case-insensitive pr-data tag stripping in sanitizePRField (was /g, now /gi)

Robustness:
- Validate uncertainEntries and skippedPRs are arrays (coerce non-arrays to [])

Tests (37 passing):
- Add non-array uncertainEntries/skippedPRs coercion test
- Add case-variant pr-data tag sanitization test
