Security Fix: Command Injection Vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.8)

Summary

Fixes critical command injection vulnerabilities where malicious user input could inject arbitrary shell commands.

Changes

tools/transcription_tools.py: Replaced shell=True with shlex.split() + shell=False
tools/environments/docker.py: Converted to list-based subprocess calls with container ID validation

Vulnerability Details

CVSS Score: 9.8 (Critical)
Attack Vector: Local/Remote via agent prompts or malicious skills
Impact: Complete system compromise, data exfiltration

Testing

Verify transcription still works with various audio file names
Verify Docker cleanup works with valid container IDs
Verify invalid container IDs are rejected

Security References

V-001 in SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md
CWE-78: OS Command Injection
