security: mitigate prompt injection in agent instruction strings

Browse Source 
User-controlled fields (skill name, source URL, webhook payloads) were
interpolated directly into agent instruction messages. Sanitize skill
fields by stripping newlines/control chars, and fence all external data
behind "BEGIN EXTERNAL DATA" / "BEGIN STRUCTURED DATA" delimiters with
explicit "do not interpret as instructions" markers. Move system
instructions above the data section so they cannot be overridden.
