workflow: spawn the worker with an empty environment

The documented vm escape reaches process, and the worker inherited the
harness's env - so a buggy or prompt-injected script could read and
exfiltrate ambient credentials (DEEPSEEK_API_KEY et al.) without
touching a single file (ds-review-bot finding on #233).

Spawn with env: {} and a hermetic execArgv on both runtime shapes, the
same stance as dsh-code-runtime-worker and stronger than the scrubbed
env the defensive-patterns rule requires for spawned commands (a shell
needs PATH; this worker needs nothing). Ambient-channel hardening only:
an escapee keeps the process-wide privileges the trust premise already
admits - the genuine sandbox remains an engine swap.

- **The host never blocks**: `start()` returns without running any script code on the host; a synchronous spin anywhere in the script occupies the worker's loop, not the harness's.
- **Termination is real**: a script that outlives its post-cancel grace is `worker.terminate()`d — nothing of it survives `dispose()`, where an in-process engine could only abandon the spin on its own loop.
- **No ambient credentials**: the worker spawns with an EMPTY environment (`env: {}` plus hermetic `execArgv`, the same stance as `dsh-code-runtime-worker`), so an escapee reading `process.env` finds no harness secrets — ambient-channel hardening only; the process-wide privileges above (fs and the rest) remain, so a genuine sandbox is still the engine swap.
- **Serialization by construction**: everything crossing the thread is structured-clone data, and plain JSON before that — the `materializeFromRealm` walk rejects loud what JSON cannot carry, which is also what makes every postMessage hop total.
What the seam guarantees regardless, because benign scripts hit these constantly: `result` never rejects, a dropped hook promise never becomes an unhandled rejection, values JSON cannot carry are rejected **loud** instead of silently mangled, and hook misuse is fatal instead of dissolving into a per-item `null`. Genuine sandboxing (containing what an escaped script may touch) remains an isolated-vm/separate-process engine swap behind the seam, still deferred.
