fix(output): add path-traversal containment guard in WriteStoreDebugData

The WriteStoreDebugData function sanitizes scan-result-derived values
(host, templateID) via sanitizeFileName before using them to build file
paths under storeResponseDir. While the sanitizer is effective, there
was no secondary containment assertion to catch regressions.

This commit adds:
1. Two IsPathWithinDirectory containment checks – one for the event-type
   sub-folder and one for the final file path – so any future weakening
   of sanitizeFileName cannot silently produce an out-of-directory write.
2. TestSanitizeFileNameContainment: a property test (mirroring the
   markdown exporter's regression suite) that verifies sanitizeFileName
   strips all separator and parent-ref characters for hostile host/URL
   inputs.
3. TestWriteStoreDebugDataContainment: an integration test that feeds
   path-traversal-shaped host values through the full function and
   asserts no file is ever created outside storeResponseDir.

CWE-22 (defense-in-depth / missing secondary guard)
