…ntarh#463)

- Add tests for 429 rate limiting with Retry-After header detection
- Test distinction between 429 (retryable), 404 (terminal), and 5xx (retryable)
- Cover all status classes: 4xx client errors, timeouts, and server errors
- Add tests for rate limit header extraction and parsing
- Test network connectivity errors (ECONNABORTED)
- Cover edge cases: missing headers, malformed data, unknown errors
- Add sustained rate limiting detection test for user feedback

This addresses 1% of issue zintarh#463 by ensuring proper error classification
and retry behavior for different Horizon error scenarios.
Security Issue: fetchOgArchetypeImage accepted caller-supplied paths
which could be used for path traversal attacks to access internal API
routes or other same-origin resources.

Changes:
- Add KNOWN_ARCHETYPE_SLUGS allowlist of valid archetype filenames
- Implement validateArchetypePath() to validate paths against allowlist
- Reject paths containing .., //, or % (URL encoding)
- Validate path structure matches expected patterns
- Add content-type validation (only accept image/* responses)
- Fall back to safe persona-derived path when validation fails
- Prevent leaking non-image responses into cached images

Security Improvements:
- Path traversal attempts (../) are blocked
- Only known archetype slugs are accepted
- External URLs are rejected
- Non-image responses are rejected (prevents data leaks)
- Failed fetches return null without leaking error details

Tests Added:
- Path traversal attack scenarios (../, //,  URL encoding)
- Allowlist validation for known/unknown archetypes
- Path structure validation (og/, responsive/, external URLs)
- Content-type validation (accept images, reject HTML/JSON)
- Persona-derived safe default behavior
- Error handling and cache behavior

This addresses the security vulnerability where malicious paths could
traverse to internal routes and embed their responses in public images.
