fix(security): harden heredoc approval, NFKC homograph fold, env-var filter

Three independent security-scanner hardenings, re-homed onto the current
shared threat-pattern architecture (tools/threat_patterns.py):

- approval.py: add bash/sh/zsh/ksh heredoc to DANGEROUS_PATTERNS. The
  existing heredoc pattern only covered python/perl/ruby/node, so
  `bash <<'EOF' ... EOF` ran arbitrary shell — including exfil pipelines
  whose inner commands don't individually match a pattern — with no prompt.

- threat_patterns.py: apply unicodedata.normalize("NFKC", ...) before
  pattern matching so full-width / compatibility homographs (e.g.
  `cat ~/.hermes/.env`) are folded to ASCII and no longer bypass the
  keyword scanners. Invisible-char detection still runs on the raw content
  first (NFKC can strip those codepoints).

- code_execution_tool.py: add CREDS/BEARER/APIKEY to _SECRET_SUBSTRINGS so
  vars like HERMES_LLM_CREDS, API_BEARER, MY_APIKEY are scrubbed from the
  sandbox env. PASS was intentionally dropped from the original proposal —
  it false-positives on BYPASS_CACHE / COMPASS_DIR / PASSENGER_HOST while
  PASSWORD/PASSWD already cover the credential cases.

The original PR also proposed a 'synonym' injection pattern block
(overlook/forget/set aside/bypass/discard + developer-mode); dropped here
because it false-positives on ordinary AGENTS.md/SOUL.md prose ("don't
forget to follow the rules", "run in developer mode"), exactly the
bossy-English class threat_patterns.py is documented to avoid.

Salvaged from #9028.
