Serialize sandbox callback bridge against concurrent heartbeats (#5326)

> **Stacked PR.** This PR's branch carries cumulative content from #5324
(bridge allowlist expand) and #5325 (env sanitization) — the
mutex/sha256 logic in this PR sits on top of both. Reviewers should
focus on the files this PR's commit touches:
`packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.{ts,test.ts}`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`, and
`packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`. Will rebase onto
`master` and force-push once both prerequisite PRs are merged.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Each agent that runs in a sandbox or via SSH talks back to the
Paperclip server through a per-lease callback bridge whose entrypoint
script is uploaded to the remote
> - When two heartbeats target the same agent on the same machine
concurrently, both upload the bridge entrypoint and both write to the
same response files — producing torn-write races: `SyntaxError:
Identifier 'randomUUID' has already been declared` from a concatenated
upload, `mv: cannot stat …` from colliding `.json.tmp` writes, and
0-byte commits from a truncated stdin
> - This pull request serializes those operations with a POSIX
`mkdir`-mutex (PID liveness check + atomic rename) at the bridge
entrypoint upload, applies the same lock to the bridge response writer,
forwards stdin into remote ssh commands so the entrypoint payload
arrives intact, and verifies a sha256 of the upload before promoting it
> - The benefit is concurrent heartbeats no longer corrupt each other's
bridge state

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.ts`: serialize
entrypoint upload and response writes via POSIX `mkdir`-mutex with PID
liveness; sha256 the upload before promoting via `mv`; content-skip when
the existing entrypoint already matches
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`: forward stdin into remote ssh
commands through the SSH managed runtime so `cat > "$remote_upload"`
actually receives the base64-encoded entrypoint
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`: cover the
stdin-forwarded SSH path
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`: cover
the mutex, content-skip, sha256-verify, and atomic-rename paths

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run --no-coverage --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils`
- `pnpm typecheck` clean
- Manual: two parallel heartbeats targeting the same SSH agent no longer
race on the bridge entrypoint or response files

## Risks

Medium. Serializing previously-parallel operations adds latency on the
contended path (one heartbeat waits on another), bounded by the
entrypoint upload time. The mutex includes PID liveness so a crashed
heartbeat doesn't deadlock subsequent ones. Sha256-verify gives a clear
"torn upload" failure mode instead of silent 0-byte commits.
