feat(security): apply audited PR #6738 remediations and test hardening

- Enforce vision probe SSRF safe local host validation, SafeProbeBackend TOCTOU elimination, and session owner authorization
- Authorize session titling endpoints against registered owner configuration
- Sanitize sensitive metadata logging from agent loop debug logs
- Add async non-blocking execution for spec router tools and thinking decisions
- Harden email cache invalidation fencing and thread-safe mutation
- Add regression test suites for legacy browser authority, spec contracts, spec router request scoping, and task MCP delivery
