fix(agents): close guard bypasses and false denies from review

- pip3.12 and python3.12 -m pip bypassed the direct-pip rule
- git push -n is --dry-run, not skip-hooks, so it was denied wrongly
- rm -rf docs/images without a trailing slash was not matched
- path rules crossed shell separators, denying unrelated later segments
- writes into docs/v*/ via redirection, cp, or sed -i were not covered
- heredoc bodies were matched as commands, blocking commit messages that
  merely discuss a blocked command — found by the guard blocking this commit
