🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix command validation bypass for restricted binaries

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: Shell agent validation could be bypassed for restricted binaries (like rm, sudo, etc.) when used as subcommands (e.g. npm run rm). This happened because the joined command string didn't perfectly match the BLOCKED_TOKENS whitespace expectations (e.g. "rm " vs "rm" at the end of the string).
🎯 Impact: Allowed bypassing shell security restrictions to run potentially destructive commands through valid package manager wrappers.
🔧 Fix: Added explicit token-by-token exact matching to catch restricted binaries regardless of their position in the command arguments.
✅ Verification: Covered by new exact match tests in the workdir_cmd tests module. Verified by cargo test -p devforge-agent --lib tools::workdir_cmd::tests.

Closing as a duplicate: #283 already covers the same command validation bypass in workdir_cmd.rs and is kept open for review (security-sensitive).
