fix(worker): replace script -qfc with pty-process for injection-safe PTY (#1678)

- Add pty-process crate (MIT, tokio async support) for PTY allocation
- Spawn claude CLI with pty-process::Command::arg() chaining instead of
  building a shell string for script -qfc
- Eliminates all shell injection surfaces: prompt, model, session_id
  are passed via execve, never interpreted by a shell
- Keep stderr on separate pipe to prevent NDJSON parse breakage
  (pty-process attaches PTY to all fds by default)
- Gate PTY behind #[cfg(unix)] with direct-spawn fallback for Windows CI
- Read stdout from PTY master (implements tokio::io::AsyncRead)
- Add regression tests: arg vector construction + PTY allocation

Addresses review feedback from zmanian and gemini-code-assist.
