execSync() with string interpolation is vulnerable to command injection via KITTY_LISTEN_ON env var or tab title content. Switches all shell commands to execFileSync() with array args (no shell spawned), adds socket path validation regex, and replaces the jq shell pipeline with native JSON.parse(). Closes danielmiessler#1045

…, PULSE casing Selective integration of upstream danielmiessler/PAI (9fb9c86 → 2fde1bb): - security: port execSync→execFileSync in tab-setter.ts (danielmiessler#1046), incl. the fork's extra cmux call sites + the kitten|jq pipe → execFileSync+JSON.parse, and replace `command -v` with `which`. Adds KITTY_LISTEN_ON socket validation. - security: remove Midjourney/Discord integration from Art/Media skills (6 files) + strip stale "Midjourney" trigger keyword from Media SKILL.md descriptions. - fix(PULSE): "Pulse"→"PULSE" directory casing across PULSE module — real bug on Linux/WSL2 case-sensitive FS (live dir is PULSE; refs were "Pulse") (danielmiessler#1259/danielmiessler#1175). - bump .pai-fork/last-synced.ref → 2fde1bb. Skipped (verified N/A to fork): plansDirectory danielmiessler#672 (no such key), case-colliding danielmiessler#621 (no pai-observability-server), wiki Algorithm danielmiessler#1273 (fork casing consistent), PAI-Install danielmiessler#1267 (fork doesn't deploy PAI-Install).
