Classify redirections by their destination.
persist calls writesFiles when PERSIST_PATHS appears in a bash command. Since writesFiles matches every >, a tainted read-only command such as grep -R value /etc/cron.d 2>/dev/null is blocked. Ignore stderr redirections only when their destination is not a persistence path. A redirection such as 2>/etc/cron.d/job must remain a persistence write.

The security audit's package/skill path validation gaps and untrusted-error bypass remain present on current main. This change validates package names before npm or filesystem operations, rejects escaping scope symlinks, validates every skill mutation parameter, and checks canonical skill paths before editing.
Untrusted error output now receives the same envelope as successful output. The taint rules also cover clone/fetch/install output, directory destinations without a trailing slash, common startup/persistence files, and curl --json uploads.
Passwordless native installs now bind loopback unless ALLOW_OPEN=1 is explicit. Login attempts are throttled per direct source. Production UI responses include CSP; the theme initializer moves to a same-origin script so inline scripts remain blocked. Deployment docs explain the listener behavior and credential storage.
Validation: server/web production build; four fixture-based security tests covering traversal and symlinks, every added guard form, encoded skill-route attacks, throttle expiry, and bind policy. Tests only operate on temporary files.
Fixes #7. The prompt-injection guard remains a heuristic; this does not claim shell sandboxing or protection against every possible command encoding.
