fix: address critical security findings from PR review

- Pin oasdiff to v1.13.1 with SHA256 checksum verification instead of
  curl-pipe-sh from main branch (supply chain risk)
- Sanitize oasdiff/coverage output before injecting into Claude prompt
  to defend against prompt injection via malicious upstream OpenAPI specs
- Enforce HTTPS for API key transmission in fetch_openapi.py, with
  explicit --allow-insecure opt-in instead of a warning-only check
