πŸ›‘οΈ Sentinel: Fix command injection vulnerability in analytics package installation check

🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: isInstalled in src/lib/analytics/sources.ts executed system commands (which, where, adb) by concatenating user/system inputs into shell strings passed directly to child_process.exec.
🎯 Impact: Attackers able to influence command arguments could execute arbitrary shell commands in the context of the running process via shell metacharacters.
πŸ”§ Fix:

  • Refactored runCommand and isInstalled to use child_process.execFile with argument vectors, neutralizing shell command expansion.
  • Corrected promise handling in runCommand to reject on execution error so command checks reliably return false on missing or invalid executables.
    βœ… Verification: Added unit tests in test/jest/unit/analytics-sources.spec.ts mocking execFile and verifying safe parameter arrays and command injection resistance.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 4761026848835372050 started by @piyyy314

Prevent command injection in `isInstalled` by switching from `child_process.exec` string evaluation to `child_process.execFile` with array arguments. Also reject `runCommand` promise when execution returns an error so installation checks handle failures correctly.
