refactor: replace narrow parameter types with context objects (#519)

* refactor: replace narrow parameter types with context objects across action/

pass broader context objects (ToolContext, PromptContext, PostCleanupContext) to
utility functions instead of cherry-picking fields into single-use interfaces.
deletes 8 narrow types, simplifies call sites, and makes buildCommentFooter
synchronous by reading ctx.runId/ctx.jobId directly instead of re-deriving
from env vars and making an extra API call.

Made-with: Cursor

* fix: replace non-null assertion with local guard in validatePushDestination

addresses review feedback — the function now validates pushUrl itself instead
of relying on the caller's check, eliminating the ! assertion.

Made-with: Cursor

* revert: remove GH_TOKEN injection from restricted shell

the original change exposed the git token in restricted-mode shell so
`gh` CLI would work. this is a security regression for public repos: MCP
tools are deliberately constrained (no merge, no release, no arbitrary
API calls), but `gh api` with the token gives full GitHub API access to
any prompt-injected agent.
