fix(exec): block heredoc parameter expansion (#69795)

Browse Source 
* fix(exec): block heredoc parameter expansion

* chore(changelog): note heredoc parameter expansion fix

* fix(exec): tighten heredoc expansion guardrails

* fix(exec): reject continued heredoc expansions

* fix(exec): buffer heredoc continuation chunks

* fix(exec): harden heredoc continuation parsing

* fix(exec): cap heredoc continuation chunks

* fix(exec): reject continued heredoc param expansion across delimiter

Bash splices `$VAR\\<newline>REST` into `$VARREST` inside an
unquoted heredoc body even when the continued physical line matches the
heredoc delimiter; the heredoc only terminates at EOF with a warning.
The analyzer previously shifted the pending heredoc the moment a line
equaled the delimiter, so a payload like `cat <<KEY\n$OPENAI_API_\\\nKEY`
passed allowlist review while the runtime would expand and print
$OPENAI_API_KEY.

Mirror bash's splicing: only treat a delimiter-matching line as the
terminator when no continuation chunks are pending, otherwise append it
to the logical line and evaluate it through the expansion check. The
tail handler does the same splice + expansion check before falling back
to "unterminated heredoc".

- CLI/channels: keep `status`, `health`, `channels list`, and `channels status` on read-only channel metadata when Telegram, Slack, Discord, or third-party channel plugins are configured, avoiding full bundled plugin runtime imports on those cold paths. Fixes #69042. (#69479) Thanks @gumadeiras.
- Synology Chat: validate outbound webhook `file_url` values against the shared SSRF policy before forwarding to the NAS, rejecting malformed URLs, non-`http(s)` schemes, and private/blocked network targets so the NAS cannot be used as a confused deputy to fetch internal addresses. (#69784) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
- Gateway/Control UI: require gateway auth on the Control UI avatar route (`GET /avatar/<agentId>` and `?meta=1` metadata) when auth is configured, matching the sibling assistant-media route, and propagate the existing gateway token through the UI avatar fetch (bearer header + authenticated blob URL) so authenticated dashboards still load local avatars. (#69775)
- Exec/allowlist: reject POSIX parameter expansion forms such as `$VAR`, `$?`, `$$`, `$1`, and `$@` inside unquoted heredocs during shell approval analysis, so these heredocs no longer pass allowlist review as plain text. (#69795) Thanks @drobison00.
