Two pre-existing issues causing test_file_read_guards timeouts on CI:
1. agent/redact.py: _ENV_ASSIGN_RE used unbounded [A-Z_]* with
IGNORECASE, matching any letter/underscore to end-of-string at
each position → O(n²) backtracking on 100K+ char inputs.
Bounded to {0,50} since env var names are never that long.
2. tools/file_tools.py: redact_sensitive_text() ran BEFORE the
character-count guard, so oversized content (that would be rejected
anyway) went through the expensive regex first. Reordered to check
size limit before redaction.
