Subject: [PATCH] fix: add security warning for untrusted skill content

Closes #18781

Skills loaded from repositories may contain malicious instructions that
trick the agent into writing to package manager configs, adding rogue
registry URLs, or modifying system-wide settings. This is a supply-chain
poisoning vector.

Add a two-layer defense:
- System prompt: append a <skill_security_policy> block to the skills
  section listing prohibited actions (registry hijacking, config writes,
  RCE patterns)
- Skill tool output: wrap each loaded skill in a <skill_security_warning>
  reminding the agent that the content is untrusted before it processes
  the skill body
