fix(cron): scrub ALL GitHub auth-header curl blocks, not just the first

Salvaged from #31671 (@Shizoqua). The config-cache half of that PR was
superseded on main (9b8b054c2d gave _load_config_safe a readonly path),
but this cron-scanner half is still live: _strip_cron_safe_constructs
used re.search + a single str.replace, which only scrubbed occurrences
IDENTICAL to the first match. A cron job loading several GitHub skills
carries heterogeneous auth-header curl forms (-H vs --header, quoting,
token var names) — every non-identical block tripped the
exfil_curl_auth_header detector on every tick, blocking legitimate
GitHub cron jobs.

Now re.sub scrubs every occurrence; the trailing [^\n]* consumes the
URL path so no dangling fragment remains. Sabotage-verified: the old
implementation false-blocks the heterogeneous two-skill prompt the new
regression test pins; exfil to a non-GitHub host is still blocked.
79/79 cron tool tests green.
