fix(handlers): validate path/auth BEFORE docker availability checks

Three traversal / cross-workspace rejection tests on staging were
masked by premature "docker not available" early returns:

1. deleteViaEphemeral — nil-docker check fired BEFORE path validation;
   malicious paths got "docker not available" (wrong code path) instead
   of "path not allowed". Reversed the order + added "path not allowed:"
   prefix to rejection messages.

2. copyFilesToContainer — split the traversal classifier into:
   - absolute path → "unsafe file path in archive"
   - literal "../" prefix → "unsafe file path in archive" (classic)
   - URL-encoded / mid-path traversal → "path escapes destination"
   Added nil-docker guard AFTER validation so legitimate inputs error
   cleanly instead of panicking on nil docker.

3. HandleConnect KI-005 — test used outdated table name
   "workspace_tokens"; ValidateAnyToken uses "workspace_auth_tokens"
   since #1210. Updated the mock. Added best-effort last_used_at
   UPDATE expectation that fires after successful token validation.

Brings the handlers package from 3 failing tests to 0. All 20 Go
packages green on go test -race ./... locally.
