nesquena-hermes 415270ff03 fix: cross-platform multi-workspace trust boundary (#417)
* fix: relax workspace trust boundary to user home directory

The previous restriction required workspaces to be under DEFAULT_WORKSPACE
(/home/hermes/workspace), which blocked all profile-specific workspaces
(~/CodePath, ~/General, ~/WebUI, ~/Camanji, etc.) since each profile uses
a different directory under home.

New boundary: any directory under Path.home() is trusted.
This still blocks /etc, /tmp, /var, /root, /usr and all paths outside the
user's home, while allowing any legitimate workspace under ~/

Also updates test assertions from 'trusted workspace root' to 'outside'
since the new error message says 'outside the user home directory'.

* fix: workspace trust uses home-dir + saved-list, not single ancestor

Three-layer trust model that works cross-platform and multi-workspace:

1. BLOCKLIST: /etc, /usr, /var, /bin, /sbin, /boot, /proc, /sys, /dev, /root,
   /lib, /lib64, /opt/homebrew — always rejected, even if somehow saved
2. HOME CHECK: any path under Path.home() is trusted — covers ~/CodePath,
   ~/hermes-webui-public, ~/WebUI, ~/General, ~/Camanji simultaneously;
   Path.home() is cross-platform (Linux ~/..., macOS ~/..., Windows C:\Users\...\...)
3. SAVED LIST ESCAPE HATCH: if a path is already in the saved workspace list,
   it's trusted regardless of location — covers self-hosted deployments where
   workspaces live outside home (/data/projects, /opt/workspace, etc.)

None/empty → DEFAULT_WORKSPACE (always trusted, validated at startup)

* docs: v0.50.35 release — version badge and CHANGELOG
