feat: add prompt injection check workflow for content security (#324)

New bundled workflow `prompt-injection-check` scans scraped content for
prompt injection patterns (role assumption, instruction overrides,
delimiter injection, hidden instructions, encoded payloads) using AI.

Flags suspicious content without removing it — preserves documentation
accuracy while warning about adversarial content. Added as first stage
in both `default` and `security-focus` workflows so it runs automatically
with --enhance-level >= 1.

 ### Added
+- **Prompt injection check workflow** — bundled `prompt-injection-check` workflow scans scraped content for injection patterns (role assumption, instruction overrides, delimiter injection, hidden instructions). Added as first stage in `default` and `security-focus` workflows. Flags suspicious content without removing it (#324)
 - **6 behavioral UML diagrams** — 3 sequence (create pipeline, GitHub+C3.x flow, MCP invocation), 2 activity (source detection, enhancement pipeline), 1 component (runtime dependencies with interface contracts)
