fix: address Codex review — sanitize search, privacy gate, ETHOS.md sidecar

Three fixes from adversarial Codex review:
- /investigate: sanitize error messages before searching (strip hostnames,
  IPs, file paths, SQL, customer data). Skip search if unsanitizable.
- /office-hours: add privacy gate before landscape search. Use generalized
  category terms, never the user's specific product name or stealth idea.
- setup: link ETHOS.md into .agents/skills/gstack/ sidecar so workspace-
  local Codex sessions can find the builder philosophy.
