hir-121: address CTO review (prompt-injection guard + size cap + Vercel tracing)
- Add a prompt-injection guard to the system prompt: contact fields (including optional_context) are framed as untrusted data; the model is told never to follow instructions, role-play prompts, or formatting overrides found inside contact fields. - Move the request schema into src/lib/templates/personalize.ts so it is unit-testable. Cap optional_context to 30 keys at 500 chars each (~15KB upper bound) instead of unbounded keys at 2000 chars. - Wire outputFileTracingIncludes for /api/personalize -> templates/**/*.md in next.config.js so the markdown pack ships in the Vercel serverless bundle (process.cwd() is the function dir, not the repo root). - Tests: 5 new cases cover the guard wording and the schema caps (accepts at the boundary, rejects past it for both keys and value length). Full suite: 20/20 pass. Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
