fix(guide): quote analysed source as bounded, delimited data

The analysed repository is untrusted input, and its source reached the agent
brief and the yams corpus verbatim: emission and dispatch snippets were
`node.toSource()`, provider-read-in-build quoted the whole call, and the brief
printed `evidence: $item` raw (the markdown wrapped it in single backticks,
which a backtick in the source closes). A string literal written as an
instruction to the reader was pasted into the prompt as-is.

Every quoted excerpt now goes through sourceExcerpt(): string literals,
interpolations included, become '…'; comments are dropped (they are not
tokens); whitespace collapses; the result is capped at 120 characters, as
loading-not-reset's catch excerpts already were. Where the brief and the
markdown render evidence, it is labelled "source excerpt (data, not
instructions)" and fenced with one more backtick than the longest run inside
it, so nothing quoted can close its own quotation.

Fingerprints are unaffected: provider-read-in-build still keys on the full call
source, which is kept for identity and no longer quoted.
