//! Security Module - Command validation and blocklist (v0.15.0)
//!
//! Provides security validation for exec: commands:
//! - Control character detection (blocks null bytes, escape sequences)
//! - Blocklist for dangerous command patterns
//! - Full validation combining both checks
//!
//! See ADR-TBD for security design decisions.
