Adam Moussa 8fb7d188b3 fix(ws5): allowlist save_memory names + symlink-safe write
Security follow-up from the per-PR review (non-blocking, defense-in-depth):
- Replace the save_memory name blocklist with an allowlist regex
  (^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*$, max 128) so dot-only/hidden/backslash/NUL/
  over-long names are rejected outright, not written as malformed-but-contained
  files.
- Write via os.open(..., O_NOFOLLOW): the open fails (ELOOP) if the final
  path component is a pre-planted symlink, closing the TOCTOU where a symlink
  in _box-drafts/ could redirect the write outside the dir. O_CREAT|O_TRUNC
  keeps overwrite-on-resave for regular files.

Tests: adds allowlist-rejection + symlink-refusal cases (21 pass).

"""Memory retriever — embeds Adam's project/feedback/reference memory files
and returns the top-k most relevant for a given task.
Reads ~/.claude/projects/-Users-adammoussa-Documents-repositories/memory/*.md
(skipping the MEMORY.md index). Embeddings are cached in .cache/embeddings.json
keyed on file mtime, so reruns hit the cache and only the changed files re-embed.
Phase 2 of the orchestrator modernization. Reads only — never writes back to the
memory store.
