fix: address GitHub Copilot code review feedback

Changes made based on PR review comments:

1. git_ops.py: Improve path sanitization for SEC-002
   - Handle Windows paths (C:\...), home-relative (~), and traversals (..)
   - More precise "missing" check using line.endswith pattern
   - Fix sha_index sync on malformed headers

2. index.py: Reduce lru_cache maxsize from 8 to 1
   - Embedding dimensions are constant (384), maxsize=1 is sufficient

3. stop_handler.py: More robust empty input detection
   - Check for "empty input" pattern instead of just "empty"

4. signal_detector.py: Move MAX_TEXT_LENGTH to module level
   - Constant should not be redefined on every method call

5. registry.py: Reject kwargs on existing instances
   - Raise ValueError if kwargs passed when instance already exists
   - Prevents silently ignoring configuration parameters

6. embedding.py: Use error level for prewarm failures
   - Configuration issues should be visible to users

Responds to Copilot review comments on PR #14.
