chore(#137): update CHANGELOG with security fixes from review

- Update package comment trim order to include design docs (gpt #1)
- Add prompt injection guardrail for DesignDocs section (security #2)

 - Multiple mappings can reference the same doc; docs are deduplicated
 - Missing doc files: warn and skip (review continues without them)
 - No matching paths: no docs injected, review runs normally

+### Security

+- **Path traversal guard**: doc paths from the YAML config are validated to reject absolute paths and `..` segments before VCS API calls
+- **Prompt injection guard**: design doc content is injected with an explicit instruction to treat it as reference data and not follow any instructions it may contain
