Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(content-guards): resolve unbound variable error in
 markdown validator

Simplified array expansion syntax in validate-markdown.sh to prevent
"unbound variable" error when running with set -euo pipefail.

ROOT CAUSE
----------
Line 111 used complex array expansion syntax ${config_flag[@]+"${config_flag[@]}"}
which triggered unbound variable errors with set -u, even though config_flag
was properly initialized on line 50.

SOLUTION
--------
Replaced with simpler "${config_flag[@]}" syntax which works correctly:
- Empty array expands to no arguments
- Non-empty array expands to its values
- No unbound variable error with set -u

This was a follow-up fix from PR #36.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fix(markdown-validator): add jq dependency check and
 simplify config discovery

- Add jq availability check before JSON parsing to fail gracefully when unavailable
- Replace 10-file config discovery loop with glob-based compgen check
- Keep array expansion fix from PR #39 with safe expansion syntax
- Reduce script from 137 to 130 lines while maintaining all functionality

Fixes unbound variable crashes and improves robustness when tools are unavailable.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix: use nullglob for safer config detection

Address glob injection and false-positive concerns from review:
- Use nullglob to safely expand .markdownlint* pattern
- Avoids compgen external command and glob-injection risks
- Trusts markdownlint-cli2 native discovery for config validation
- Maintains simplicity while addressing security concerns
