fix: brain_tunnel, brain_update and session_log confine caller-supplied paths (#169) (#170)
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (push) Successful in 1m2s
CI / Mirror to GitHub (push) Successful in 4s

brain_tunnel accepts only clean wiki/.../*.md paths and reads/rewrites both notes through brainfs; new brainfs.WriteRegular never creates, never writes through a final symlink (Lstat + O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK + os.SameFile on the handle, since os.Root follows in-root final symlinks even with O_NOFOLLOW). brain_update resolves like brain_edit (knowledge/ and wiki/ notes only) and reads/rewrites through brainfs. session_log requires a plain-name session id and opens with O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK.

Fixes #169. Adversarial review: BLOCKED, BLOCKED, PASS (round 3 by the estate session's reviewer). Follow-ups: #173, #174.
