Subject: [PATCH] fix: block newlines in installer Bash allowlist

The installer agent's Bash permission gate (installerCanUseTool) blocked ; ` $ ( ) | and & but not newlines. The shell treats a newline as a command separator equivalent to ;, and matchesAllowedPrefix splits on \s+ (which matches \n), so a payload like 'npm install\n<arbitrary command>' passed validation and both statements executed. This let poisoned project content drive arbitrary command execution and exfiltration of the WORKOS_API_KEY the installer writes to .env.local just before the agent runs.

Add \n and \r to DANGEROUS_OPERATORS so any command containing a newline/carriage return is denied, and cover the bypass with regression tests.
