harden IPC: reject -prefixed git refs, cap files.read / git.log (T-104)
test / unit + widget + golden + a11y (push) Failing after 31s
test / integration_test (xvfb) (push) Has been skipped
test / bundle smoke (xvfb 5s) (push) Has been skipped
test / daemon subprocess + web WASM smoke (push) Has been skipped
test / dart doc (lib API) (push) Failing after 1m0s

Three security fixes the consultant flagged:

* git.checkout, git.push now reject branch/remote arguments starting
  with `-` via a top-level validateGitRef helper. `git push` also
  gets a `--` option terminator; checkout can't use `--` without
  changing semantics (it would be parsed as a pathspec), so the
  validator is the only line of defence there.
* files.read caps responses at 10 MB so a single call can't OOM the
  UI on a multi-gigabyte log.
* git.log caps `count` at 1000; git.diff / git.stage cap paths at
  256. Excess is a userError rather than burning subprocess time.

The bigger typed-schema framework (item 1 in T-104) is split out as
T-120 since it needs design discussion alongside T-99.
