Fix a command injection bypass vulnerability in validate_command inside crates/agent/src/tools/workdir_cmd.rs which could allow arbitrary command execution via blocklist evasion using quotation marks or trailing space bypasses (e.g. bypassing "rm "). We now check each token strictly and exactly for "rm". Also added a CRITICAL entry to the security journal .jules/sentinel.md.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 3565701423856130564 started by @bobdivx

- The command validation check used to match bad tokens against the space-joined raw command `lower.contains(bad)`, meaning blocklist evasion could be performed (such as passing `'rm'` instead of `'rm '` which was blocked).
- Update `crates/agent/src/tools/workdir_cmd.rs` to validate every single token `part` of the `shell_words_split(cmd)` against blocklist, preventing bypass by shell quoting or omitting padding.
- Add an explicit exact match for `rm` since `rm ` and `rm\t` were originally matched.

Closing: false alarm. rm is not in ALLOWED_BINS, so it can never run as the binary, and a bare rm argument to an allowed tool is harmless. It also overlaps #283, which touches the same validation and is pending review.
