Patrick Buckley 2d64569cf8 fix(fence): close defang/detection whitespace gap; test host-escaping
Phase-1 review follow-ups:
- neutralize() now tolerates whitespace between '<' and the slash ('< /tag',
  '<  /tag'), matching output_guard's detection regex so a marker can no longer
  be detected-but-not-defanged (a leaked-nonce break-out gap).
- Add direct tests for the sec-1 forge-in defence: _neutralize_host defangs a
  forged <system-reminder_{nonce}> in both string- and list-content untrusted
  hosts before the real fence is appended, and the host is defanged exactly once
  so consecutive folds don't corrupt the first appended fence.
