fix(security): resolve the CodeQL backlog, three fixes and three documented false positives (#1225)

Triage of all 9 CodeQL alerts surfaced on main by #1223. None were introduced by that PR.

Fixed: the compliance-review artifact now unpacks to runner.temp instead of over the trusted checkout (actions/artifact-poisoning, critical); MCP LIKE patterns escape backslash first, which was a real correctness bug returning wrong rows for any search containing a backslash (js/incomplete-sanitization, 2 sites); and the mcp-oauth consent form action is HTML-escaped (js/reflected-xss, not exploitable because WHATWG URL already percent-encodes " < >, but & is not in that encode set).

Dismissed as false positives with reasoning recorded at each site and in DECISIONS.md: sie-export escapeQuotes, where doubling backslashes would violate SIE 4B, corrupt files in conformant readers and skew #KSUMMA under BFL 7-year retention; hashApiKey, where SHA-256 is correct for a 256-bit CSPRNG token and changing it would invalidate every live gnubok_sk_ key; and the DuplicateBookingDialog href, which is a DB UUID behind a literal path prefix.

Regression tests cover both behavioural fixes, including the escape ordering.

* Quotes only. A literal backslash is deliberately NOT doubled, and it must stay

* quotation mark and defines no `\\` sequence at all: "Quotation marks in export
* fields are to be preceded by a backslash (ASCII 92)", and for the checksum,
* "Quotation marks within fields are marked with a 'backslash'. However, only
* the quotation marks are to be included in the calculation of the control
* total" -- the marker is excluded from #KSUMMA, which is only coherent if it is
* not itself data.
*
* Emitting `\\` for a literal backslash would invent a sequence the format does
* not define, land as a doubled backslash in every reader that implements the
* spec's single rule (Fortnox, Visma, BL), and skew #KSUMMA. That corrupts a
* file kept under BFL 7-year retention.
*
* Round-tripping is already correct: `a\"b` exports as `a\\"b`, and the parser's
* /\\"/g rule (lib/import/sie-parser.ts) recovers `a\"b`.
*
* CodeQL flags this as js/incomplete-sanitization; it is a false positive here,
* because the rule assumes a grammar in which backslash escapes itself.
