feat: add fuzzing targets for untrusted input parsers (#835)

* feat: add fuzzing targets for untrusted input parsers

Add cargo-fuzz infrastructure with 5 fuzz targets exercising
security-critical code paths:

- fuzz_safety_sanitizer: Aho-Corasick + regex injection detection
- fuzz_safety_validator: Input validation (length, encoding, patterns)
- fuzz_leak_detector: Secret leak scanning (API keys, tokens)
- fuzz_tool_params: Tool parameter JSON validation
- fuzz_config_env: TOML/JSON config parsing

Each target exercises real IronClaw business logic with invariant
assertions. Includes corpus directories and setup documentation.

* fix: improve fuzz targets to exercise real IronClaw code paths

- fuzz_config_env: exercise SafetyLayer end-to-end (sanitize, validate,
  policy check) instead of generic TOML/JSON parsing
- fuzz_tool_params: add validate_tool_schema coverage alongside
  validate_tool_params
- Add "fuzz" to workspace exclude in root Cargo.toml
- Update README descriptions to match actual target behavior

* fix: replace redundant detect() call with meaningful invariant assertion

Replace the double sanitize()+detect() call with an assertion that
critical severity warnings always trigger content modification.

* fix: rewrite fuzz_config_env to exercise IronClaw safety code directly

Replace SafetyLayer wrapper usage with direct Sanitizer, Validator, and
LeakDetector instantiation and invocation. Adds meaningful consistency
assertions (non-empty output, valid-means-no-errors, scan/clean agreement).
Removes the config construction that was only exercising struct instantiation.

# IronClaw Fuzz Targets
Fuzz testing for security-critical input parsing paths using [cargo-fuzz](https://github.com/rust-fuzz/cargo-fuzz) (libFuzzer).
## Targets
| Target | What it exercises |
|--------|-------------------|
| `fuzz_safety_sanitizer` | Prompt injection pattern detection (Aho-Corasick + regex) |
| `fuzz_safety_validator` | Input validation (length, encoding, forbidden patterns) |
| `fuzz_leak_detector` | Secret leak detection (API keys, tokens, credentials) |
| `fuzz_tool_params` | Tool parameter and schema JSON validation |
| `fuzz_config_env` | SafetyLayer end-to-end (sanitize, validate, policy check) |
## Setup
```bash
cargo install cargo-fuzz
rustup install nightly
```
## Running
```bash
# Run a specific target (runs until stopped or crash found)
cargo +nightly fuzz run fuzz_safety_sanitizer
# Run with a time limit (5 minutes)
cargo +nightly fuzz run fuzz_leak_detector -- -max_total_time=300
# Run all targets for 60 seconds each
for target in fuzz_safety_sanitizer fuzz_safety_validator fuzz_leak_detector fuzz_tool_params fuzz_config_env; do
echo "==> $target"
cargo +nightly fuzz run "$target" -- -max_total_time=60
done
```
## Adding New Targets
1. Create `fuzz/fuzz_targets/fuzz_<name>.rs` following the existing pattern
2. Add a `[[bin]]` entry in `fuzz/Cargo.toml`
3. Create `fuzz/corpus/fuzz_<name>/` for seed inputs
4. Exercise real IronClaw code paths, not just generic serde
