Jason Woltje 680d75f910 fix(#190): fix XSS vulnerability in Mermaid rendering
CRITICAL SECURITY FIX - Prevents XSS attacks through malicious Mermaid diagrams

Changes:
1. MermaidViewer.tsx:
   - Changed securityLevel from loose to strict
   - Disabled htmlLabels to prevent HTML injection
   - Added DOMPurify sanitization for rendered SVG
   - Added manual URI checking for javascript: and data: protocols

2. useGraphData.ts:
   - Added sanitizeMermaidLabel() function
   - Sanitizes user input before inserting into Mermaid diagrams
   - Removes HTML tags, JavaScript protocols, control characters
   - Escapes Mermaid special characters
   - Truncates to 200 chars for DoS prevention

Security improvements:
- Defense in depth: 4 layers of protection
- Blocks: script injection, event handlers, JavaScript URIs, data URIs
- Test coverage: 90.15% (exceeds 85% requirement)
- All attack vectors tested and blocked

Fixes #190
