fix(security): resolve Python warning-severity CodeQL alerts (#3164)

[mrveiss]

Summary

• Fixed Python warning-severity CodeQL alerts (bad-tag-filter, regex-injection, ReDoS)
• Part of Security: Fix remaining ~125 CodeQL alerts (path-injection, JS, ReDoS, SSRF, LDAP) #3164 (Python warning-severity subset)

Alert types fixed

Alert	Files	Fix
py/bad-tag-filter	api/knowledge.py	Replaced regex re.sub(r"<[^>]+>") with html.parser.HTMLParser
py/regex-injection	security/domain_security.py	Used re.escape() on config-driven glob patterns
py/polynomial-redos	knowledge/metadata.py	Fixed email regex backtracking ([a-zA-Z0-9-.]+ → (?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)+)
py/polynomial-redos	utils/encoding_utils.py	Bounded ANSI OSC patterns with {0,1024} quantifier limit
py/polynomial-redos	api/analytics_controller.py	Removed lookahead causing exponential backtracking
py/polynomial-redos	services/semantic_analyzer.py	Bounded [\s\S]* with {0,5000} limit

Not addressed in this PR (false positives / intentional design)

• py/insecure-protocol (~4) — All http:// URLs are internal service-to-service communication on private networks
• py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data (~55) — CodeQL flags variable names like token/password but no actual secrets are logged
• py/command-line-injection (~3) — Terminal executor and elevation wrapper intentionally run user commands
• py/full-ssrf (2) — Already fixed in prior PRs (validate_url applied)

Test plan

• python -c "from html.parser import HTMLParser" passes
• Email validation still matches valid emails, rejects invalid
• ANSI stripping still works on terminal output
• Domain security pattern matching still blocks/allows expected domains

Code review

Found 2 issues:

1. Slug regex lookahead removal changes endpoint normalization behavior. The original pattern ^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*\d)[a-z0-9_-]{8,}$ required both letters AND digits, as documented by the comment directly above: "contains both letters and digits, length ≥ 8. Avoids collapsing short word slugs." The replacement ^[a-z0-9_-]{8,}$ now matches pure-word paths like /dashboard, /settings, /knowledge (all ≥8 chars, all-alpha), which will be incorrectly collapsed to {id} in analytics. A bounded lookahead like (?=[a-z0-9_-]{0,200}[a-z])(?=[a-z0-9_-]{0,200}\d) would fix ReDoS without changing semantics.

	re.compile(r"^\d+$"),
	# Alphanumeric slugs that look generated: starts with alpha/digit, contains
	# both letters and digits, length ≥ 8. Avoids collapsing short word slugs.
	re.compile(r"^[a-z0-9_-]{8,}$", re.I),
	]

2. URL validation pattern now rejects valid URLs with ports or query strings without a leading slash. The old pattern ended with .*$ (match anything after host). The new (?:/\S*)?$ requires any suffix to start with /. This rejects RFC 3986-valid URLs like https://api.example.com:8080/path, https://example.com?query=1, and https://docs.example.com#section because port numbers, bare query strings, and fragments are not preceded by / in the new pattern.

	# Validation pattern for URL
	URL_PATTERN = re.compile(
	r"^https?://[a-zA-Z0-9][-a-zA-Z0-9]*(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9][-a-zA-Z0-9]*)+(?:/\S*)?$"
	)
