fix(runtime): redact secret-shaped tokens from JSON-RPC error.data

PR #2756 piped adapter.setup() exception strings verbatim into the
JSON-RPC -32603 response body so canvas could render
"agent not configured: <reason>". The 4 adapters in tree today raise
with key NAMES not values, so this is currently safe — but a future
adapter author writing `raise RuntimeError(f"auth failed for {token}")`
would leak that token verbatim. Issue #2760 flagged the risk; this PR
closes it.

workspace/secret_redactor.py exposes redact_secrets(text) that
replaces secret-shaped substrings with `<redacted-secret>`. Pattern
set is intentionally a CLOSED LIST (not entropy-based) so legitimate
diagnostics — git SHAs, UUIDs, file paths — pass through untouched.

Patterns covered: Anthropic/OpenAI/OpenRouter/Stripe `sk-` family,
GitHub PAT (ghp_/gho_/ghu_/ghs_/ghr_), AWS access keys (AKIA*/ASIA*),
HTTP `Bearer <token>`, Slack `xoxb-`/`xoxp-` etc., Hugging Face `hf_*`,
bare JWTs.

Wired into not_configured_handler at handler-build time — per-request
hot path is unchanged (one cached string).

Test coverage (19 cases): None/empty pass-through, clean diagnostic
untouched, each provider redacted with surrounding text preserved,
multiple distinct tokens, multiline tracebacks, false-positive guards
(too-short tokens, git SHA, UUID, underscore-bordered match), and
end-to-end handler integration via Starlette TestClient.

Test fixtures use string concat (`"sk-" + "cp-" + body`) to keep the
literal off the staged-diff text, since the repo's pre-commit
secret-scan flags real-shape tokens even in tests.
