feat(community): context-aware scanning + bump v2.6.5

Brings the encoding false-positive fix to the community tier and rebuilds the
wheel at v2.6.5 so community users get the corrected community_guardian.

When content comes from an external source (web page, RAG chunk, tool output —
via metadata={"source_type": "web_content"} etc., and the default for
analyze_html), the encoding family is suppressed:
  _SUPPRESS_FOR_EXTERNAL = {encodingEvasion, encodingAttacks}

base64 / data-URIs are normal in web content; injection/safety categories
(instructionOverride, jailbreakActivation, safetyBypass, roleHijacking,
systemPromptLeaks) and the absolute-block childSafetyViolation are never
suppressed. analyze_html now defaults source_type to web_content so a page with
a base64 data URI no longer false-blocks.

Edition-robust tests (tests/test_community_context_aware.py): the community
library is resolved at import time, so when ETHICORE_API_KEY is present the
licensed library (encodingAttacks) loads instead — the suppression set covers
both names and the tests assert on the encoding family + resulting action, so
they pass in both editions.

Full SDK suite 1828 passed.

+#
+# When content comes from an external, non-user-authored source (a fetched web
+# page, a RAG chunk, a tool return value), the ENCODING-family categories are
+# suppressed: base64 / data-URIs are ubiquitous in legitimate external content
+# and otherwise produce constant false positives.
+#
+# Encoding is the ONLY safe-to-suppress family — the surface "looks-encoded"
+# signal is dropped, but the underlying payload risk is unaffected (an actual
+# decoded instruction is still caught by the regular pattern/fingerprint layers
+# on the decoded text in the API tier; the community tier flags the decoded
+# content directly).  Injection / safety categories (instructionOverride,
+# jailbreakActivation, safetyBypass, roleHijacking, systemPromptLeaks) and the
+# absolute-block childSafetyViolation are NEVER suppressed — indirect injection
+# hides in exactly this retrieved content.
+#
+# Set is minimal and evidence-based.  encodingAttacks is included for parity
+# with the licensed library (harmless no-op in the community tier, which names
+# its single encoding category `encodingEvasion`).
