Add security tests for path traversal and SQL injection fixes
Created comprehensive test coverage for security fixes: - internal/api/obsidian_test.go: * TestGetNotes_SymlinkSecurity: Verifies symlinks are not followed * TestGetNotes_BasicFunctionality: Tests basic limit and ordering * Uses t.TempDir() for isolated test environments - internal/store/sqlite_test.go: * TestGetNotes_LimitClause: Validates LIMIT parameter handling * TestGetNotes_EmptyDatabase: Tests empty state * TestSaveNotes_Upsert: Verifies INSERT OR REPLACE behavior * TestGetNotes_SQLInjectionAttempt: Confirms parameterized queries * All tests use temporary SQLite databases for isolation All tests passing (7 new test cases). Security fixes from commits 325811c and 4c03e9c now have full test coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
