fix(security): detect obfuscated commands that bypass allowlist filters (#24287)
* security(exec): add obfuscated command detector * test(exec): cover obfuscation detector patterns * security(exec): enforce obfuscation approval on gateway host * security(exec): enforce obfuscation approval on node host * test(exec): prevent obfuscation timeout bypass * chore(changelog): credit obfuscation security fix
