cli: render contextual CVSS vector, advisory score, and reasoning for dependency findings

* add extra-files plumbing so orchestrators can drop single files into the sandbox workspace

* reject extra-file paths that collide with a local source tree

* add --workspace-file so CLI users can place files in the sandbox workspace

* reject repeated and control-character workspace paths

* revalidate persisted workspace files when resuming a run

* drop the workspace-file size limit

 <Tip>
 Be specific. Good instructions help Strix prioritize the most valuable attack paths.
 </Tip>
+
+## Workspace files
+
+Instructions become part of the prompt. To give Strix a file to work with, such
+as a wordlist, an API specification, or notes, use `--workspace-file`. Strix
+places the file into the sandbox workspace before the scan starts.
+
+```bash
+strix --target https://app.com --workspace-file ./wordlist.txt
+```
+
+The file lands at `/workspace/<file name>`. To choose the destination, write
+`PATH:DEST`. `DEST` is a path inside `/workspace`.
+
+```bash
+strix --target https://app.com \
+  --workspace-file ./openapi.yaml:specs/openapi.yaml \
+  --workspace-file ./notes.md
+```
+
+Repeat the option for every file you want to place. Strix lists the files in the
+agent task, so the agent knows where to read them.
+
+Rules that apply to every workspace file:
+
+- The file is read-only inside the sandbox.
+- The destination must stay inside `/workspace`.
+- The destination must not fall inside a target directory, because target files
+  come from the target itself. Strix skips such a file and logs a warning.
+- Two files cannot claim the same destination.
+
+<Note>
+A workspace file is data for the agent to use. It is not a scan target, and its
+contents do not change the instructions.
+</Note>
+
+<Warning>
+Do not place secrets in a workspace file. The sandbox runs untrusted target
+code, so treat anything you place there as readable by the target.
+</Warning>

 AGENT ISOLATION & SANDBOXING:

+- Each agent has its own terminal sessions

+
+### Contextual CVSS
+
+The published score rates the CVE in the abstract. `contextual_cvss_breakdown`
+rates it **here**, in this codebase — the same 8-metric CVSS v3.1 object as a
+normal finding's `cvss_breakdown` (`attack_vector`, `attack_complexity`,
+`privileges_required`, `user_interaction`, `scope`, `confidentiality`,
+`integrity`, `availability`). You never pass a score: the contextual score and
+vector are computed from the breakdown, and when you provide one it determines
+the finding's severity. `advisory_cvss` stays the published reference.
+
+Start from the advisory's own published metrics and change only what your
+evidence proves is different in this codebase:
+
+- `attack_vector` `N`/`A`/`L`/`P` — as deployed. A library reached only by a
+  local CLI is `L`, not `N`.
+- `attack_complexity` `L`/`H` — raise to `H` when the vulnerable path needs a
+  precondition the code enforces (input validation, a non-default flag, an
+  internal-only route).
+- `privileges_required` `N`/`L`/`H`, `user_interaction` `N`/`R` — what this
+  deployment requires before the path is reachable.
+- `scope` `U`/`C` — whether exploitation here escapes the component boundary.
+- `confidentiality`/`integrity`/`availability` `N`/`L`/`H` — the impact in this
+  codebase. `not_imported` code the build still ships is usually `N` across all
+  three.
+
+Ground every metric in the **source-to-sink trace** from the usage analysis
+(step 3 above), not in a general impression of the package. Derive the metrics
+from that chain: `attack_vector`, `privileges_required`, and `user_interaction`
+come from what the source requires; `attack_complexity` comes from the
+preconditions the hops enforce; `confidentiality`, `integrity`, and
+`availability` come from the data and privileges available at the sink.
+
+No trace, no contextual breakdown: if you did not reach a symbol hit, or you
+could not follow a hop, omit the contextual fields instead of guessing.
+
+`contextual_cvss_reasoning` is required with the breakdown. Write two to four
+sentences that another engineer can check without opening the repository. Name
+the chain hop by hop as `entry point -> intermediate call -> package call`, with
+a repository-relative `file:line` for each hop, say who controls the input, and
+say what the contextual rating changes. Example: lowering `attack_vector` to
+`L` and `confidentiality` to `L` with "The only caller of `yaml.load` is
+`parse_manifest` in `scripts/import.py:88`, which `cli/commands.py:212` invokes
+for an operator-supplied path behind the `--allow-unsafe-import` flag that
+`deploy/prod.yaml` never sets. No HTTP route reaches that function, so an
+attacker must already hold shell access on the job host, and the parsed data is
+build metadata rather than customer records."
+
+Omit all the contextual fields when the published rating already fits, and when
+the evidence is thin. A contextual rating is a claim you must be able to
+defend, and it never replaces `advisory_cvss` as the published reference.

+            it plainly when no entry point reaches the sink — that is the
+            most useful result a reader can get.
+        contextual_cvss_breakdown: Optional full CVSS v3.1 rating of this
+            CVE **in this codebase** — the same 8-metric object as
+            ``create_vulnerability_report``'s ``cvss_breakdown``:
+            ``attack_vector`` (N/A/L/P), ``attack_complexity`` (L/H),
+            ``privileges_required`` (N/L/H), ``user_interaction`` (N/R),
+            ``scope`` (U/C), ``confidentiality`` / ``integrity`` /
+            ``availability`` (N/L/H). All 8 metrics are required when the
+            field is set, and the contextual score/vector are computed
+            from them — you never supply a score. Start from the
+            advisory's published metrics and change only what the
+            **source-to-sink trace** you recorded in
+            ``reachability_evidence`` proves is different here: derive
+            ``attack_vector`` / ``privileges_required`` /
+            ``user_interaction`` from what the entry point actually
+            requires, ``attack_complexity`` from the preconditions the
+            hops enforce, and the impact metrics from the data and
+            privileges reachable at the sink. When provided, this rating
+            determines the finding's severity; ``advisory_cvss`` stays as
+            the published reference. Omit the field when the trace does
+            not change the published rating, or when you could not
+            complete the trace.
+        contextual_cvss_reasoning: **Required whenever**
+            ``contextual_cvss_breakdown`` is set. Two to four detailed
+            sentences that a reviewer can verify without opening the repo:
+            how the application uses the package, which call sites or
+            configuration you inspected (repo-relative ``file:line``),
+            which input reaches the vulnerable code and whether an
+            attacker controls it, and what the adjustment therefore
+            changes. State the source-to-sink chain explicitly, hop by
+            hop, as ``entry point -> intermediate call -> package call``
+            with a ``file:line`` for each hop. Cite concrete evidence,
+            never a generic statement such as "low risk". The user reads
+            this text next to the adjusted score, so an adjustment
+            without it is discarded.
