fix(ci): stop the conflict job trusting the branch it is merging

A second audit of the hardened workflow found the "no shell at all"
claim in resolve-conflicts was still false, by two routes that live
outside this file.

The job runs the model in the workspace right after `gh pr checkout`,
so for a fork pull request the working directory is attacker-controlled.
claude-code-action writes `enableAllProjectMcpServers = true` into
~/.claude/settings.json before starting Claude Code
(base-action/src/setup-claude-code-settings.ts), and the CLI honours a
project `.mcp.json` unless `strictMcpConfig` is set, which the action
never sets. A contributor branch carrying an `.mcp.json` therefore got
its command spawned at session start, with --allowedTools gating tool
calls but not server startup. The same tree also supplied CLAUDE.md and
.claude/ as project instructions. The job now passes
`--strict-mcp-config` and `--setting-sources user`, so nothing in the
merged tree configures the session.

The second route was `Edit` with no path scope, the only unscoped file
grant left. Editing `.git/config` to set `core.fsmonitor` or a
`credential.helper` gets a command run by the next step's git calls,
which hold CLAUDE_BOT_PAT, and the stray-file guard could never see it
because `git diff --name-only` lists tracked paths only. The merge step
now emits one `Edit(//<workspace>/<file>)` rule per conflicted path and
the model gets exactly those plus /tmp, with `.git/**` denied outright
and Bash, WebFetch, WebSearch and Task denied by name. Hooks are
disabled for the run (`core.hooksPath=/dev/null`, `commit --no-verify`).

Conflict handling gets three real gaps closed: modify/delete, rename and
both-added conflicts (git status DD/AU/UD/DU/AA/UA) leave no markers, so
they used to sail through the marker check and get committed unresolved
- they are now detected up front and handed back untouched; the marker
scan covers `=======` and `|||||||`, not just the outer pair; and after
staging, `git diff --diff-filter=U` must come back empty or nothing is
committed. A `=======` markdown underline of exactly seven characters in
a conflicted file will now hand the merge back rather than commit it,
which is the safe direction.

Smaller things the audit was right about:
- the mutating gh rules are prefix rules, so `Bash(gh issue close:*)`
  reached every issue in the repository. They now carry the triggering
  number: `Bash(gh issue close ${{ github.event.issue.number }}:*)`.
- `Write(//tmp/**)` is granted alongside `Edit(//tmp/**)`: the docs say a
  Write(path) rule is never matched by the file checks, so the Edit rule
  is what authorises it, but the tool has to be listed to exist at all.
  Without this the model could not create /tmp/comment.md.
- the mention prompt lost its thread context when it moved to agent mode
  and referred to "<number>" literally; it now gets repo, number, title
  and whether the thread is a pull request.
- `git log`/`git show` are gone from mention: `--output=<file>` makes
  them a file-write primitive.
- `@claude resolve pr conflicts` on a plain issue matched no job at all.
- the commit step gated on `skip != 'true'`, so it also ran when the
  merge step died before writing any output; it now needs `skip ==
  'false'`.
- bot-authored pull requests (dependabot opens three ecosystems' worth)
  no longer start a review run that the action refuses to serve.
- resolve-conflicts drops to `contents: read`, since the push is the
  PAT's job, and fails with a comment when that PAT is missing.

You have no tool that can edit a file in the checkout, no git command that can write, and a token that cannot push, so no file is edited, no branch is created, no commit is made and no pull request is opened or merged - on an issue and on a pull request alike. The one exception in this repository lives in a separate workflow job that only the owner can start, so do not mention it or offer it. The full repo source is checked out in the working directory; use Read, Glob and Grep to open and verify the relevant files before stating any default, path, flag, option name, or behavior. Your file-writing tool is limited to /tmp: a long reply goes to /tmp/comment.md and is posted with gh issue comment <number> --body-file /tmp/comment.md (or gh pr comment for a pull request). If that write is refused for any reason, pass the body inline with --body instead - never leave the thread unanswered.
