liuhao1024 ba3c450914 fix(security): block read_file on project-local .env files
get_read_block_error() only blocked internal Hermes cache files but
allowed reading project-local secret-bearing environment files (.env,
.env.production, .env.local, etc.) through both read_file and ACP
fs/read_text_file paths.

Add a basename deny set for common secret-bearing .env variants.
.env.example remains readable as documentation.

Fixes #20734
