fix(harness): escape every control and format character in workflow data (starter packs SP7 review P3)

The workflows data lines now escape every \p{Cc}, \p{Cf}, \p{Zl} and
\p{Zp} character by UTF-16 unit, so zero-width, soft hyphen, BOM and
tag characters never reach the prompt invisible. The section says the
rails come later in the prompt, not at its end, since skills can follow
them. A role holding task.assign or task.create only cross-role sees
every step; now tested.

+URL` in place of both local-only flags. Both modes create a local repository and
+genesis commit. Existing paths are never overwritten. `mosaic org queue show ID
+--json` and `mosaic org project repo show ID PROJECT --json` read the receipts
+back; the project form also reports the binding as it is now (`current`).
+
+Remote mode (#1873 P1-6) accepts `https://HOST/OWNER/REPO` and ssh
+(`ssh://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/PATH` or `USER@HOST:PATH`) only. It refuses
+`ext::` and other transport helpers, `file://`, local paths, values that begin
+with `-`, any URL that carries a password or token, and any https URL that
+carries a user name (`src/vocabulary.mjs` `parseRepoRemote`). The checkout's `origin` is set to the
+URL and checked once with `git ls-remote` (`src/repo-remote.mjs`): no
+credential helper, no askpass, no terminal prompt, no redirects,
+`GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL=https:ssh`, no git or ssh config files, no ssh agent or key,
+and a 15 second limit. The receipt's `check.result` is `reachable`,
+`needs-credential` (the check sends none) or `unreachable` with git's error
+summarized. The ssh check accepts any host key, so an ssh answer shows only that
+something at that address speaks git; its message adds "the ssh host key was not
+verified". `check.url` names the URL it ran against, and `repo show` reports a
+check only for the URL recorded now. The check never refuses the setup, and
+nothing is pushed. A copy credential binding (CB lanes) supplies credentials
+for https Gitea remotes only; an ssh or other https remote that needs a
+credential gets none from it. Tests reach a local bare repository only through `repoRemoteTestSeam`,
+which no source module may import.
+
+`mosaic org project repo set ID PROJECT (--local-only --accept-local-loss-risk |
+--remote URL) --if-revision N [--json]` (#1873 P1-7) changes an initialized
+project's repository: a new URL, or remote to local only and back. It runs the
+same URL rules and check, sets or removes `origin`, records the binding in the
+organization file's `projects.PROJECT.git`, and writes an
+`org.project.repo.set` receipt. A stale `--if-revision` is `revision-conflict`.
+While a copy binding that names the project is approved (`pending`) or active
+(`bound`), repo set is refused with `project-repo-bound`, before any check or
+change to `origin`, even for the URL already recorded: the binding grants the
+repositories its projects name at credential issue, and its decision records
+only project names (#1873 F7). The message names the copies. Revoke the copy
+binding first (the chief raises an unbind decision and the owner approves it),
+then set the repository, then ask the chief to raise a new binding decision. An
+`unbound` binding, or none, does not refuse. A binding decision raised but not
+yet approved is not read here.
