Murali Chillakuru 085e005d92 security: remove shell=True from ReAct agent bash tool
Parse the command with shlex.split and run with shell=False, and restrict the executable to a python/python3 allow-list. This removes shell metacharacter injection (the benchmark only needs Python to manipulate spreadsheets). Adds tests for the allow-list gate and non-interpretation of shell metacharacters.

"""Tests for shell-injection hardening in the ReAct agent's bash tool.
``_run_bash`` previously ran commands with ``shell=True``, allowing arbitrary
shell metacharacter injection. It now uses ``shlex.split`` + ``shell=False``
and restricts the executable to a small allow-list (python/python3). These
tests assert both the allow-list gate and that shell metacharacters are no
longer interpreted.
