fix: Suppress gosec warnings with nolint comments

- Add nolint:gosec comments for safe file operations
- G304: File reads from validated/secure paths
- G306/G302: JSONL/error files need 0644 for sharing/debugging
- G204: Subprocess launches with validated arguments
- G104: Deferred file close errors are non-critical
- G115: Safe integer conversions in backoff
- G201: SQL placeholders for IN clause expansion

All warnings are for intentional behavior that is safe in context.
