fix(webhook): enforce URL admission at storage boundary

[seonghobae]

Current exact state

Protected/base: develop@e71d37e7c58118e6764c96ab7c4492fe33eed6f8.
Current exact head: f10795e294df5b0d9797fc50b201126c998a3632.
The effective delta is limited to the webhook storage/API repair, its tests, the bounded detector analyzer/regressions, and docs/TRACEABILITY.md; generated Sentinel doctrine remains identical to protected base.

Valid finding and bounded claim

The HTTP webhook route previously validated a submitted URL before calling set_webhook, while set_webhook is also a directly callable persistence function. The storage function is now the single validation/persistence boundary. It normalizes only the documented empty-string clear value to None, continues to reject other non-string values and unsafe destinations, and persists the normalized value. The HTTP route delegates to that boundary and maps its ValueError to the existing 400 response.

This PR does not establish a CRITICAL exploit by itself and does not prove complete delivery-time SSRF resistance. Persistence-time DNS/address validation cannot by itself prevent later DNS rebinding or prove that the eventual connection is pinned to the validated address.

Runtime test-first evidence

• RED 99abf4f982b84e9f9c714718a1cf93a271d5bfe5: direct set_webhook(..., "") deletion contract plus non-string rejection.
• RED a1f4f7e6fd2b4c19271b5b8a0bbd619ae5660da7: HTTP {"url": ""} must return 200 with webhook_url: null.
• GREEN 6813d2a36c0bc13b343aa7890c8007e64af814c3: empty-string normalization at the storage boundary and removal of the route's duplicated pre-validation.
• Non-destructive recovery 8ae48f1bf5bb93628b1fec5a4cac273f994de094: concurrent 6d7bae70c5b7f2dc74d9c3c69290cdd221f0d636 deleted the RED tests and reverted the repair. The recovery keeps that commit in history and restores the verified tree exactly.
• Later source-neutral descendants 794caa2... and cc030aa... preserve that runtime contract; the latter makes only an equivalent response-normalization edit.

Detector RCA and regression evidence

Exact-head Security Process run 34077096473 failed because python-stored-ssrf-webhook-url still reported the route's request-derived variable even though the unique local set_webhook rejects unsafe input before SQLite persistence. This was a detector false positive, not source GREEN.

• RED ead954ad4f6ce003d9447d7f9dedcd9214fb44fc: production _scan_file requires the safe local-sink path to be negative while unrelated conditional validation and a later set_webhook rebinding remain positive.
• GREEN f18fec7c62e1ea0be7a25f83900ebfbbfdde9daf: a bounded stdlib AST check suppresses only one unique top-level, non-rebound set_webhook whose directly derived destination is rejected unconditionally before the validated value reaches SQLite execute.
• Traceability f10795e294df5b0d9797fc50b201126c998a3632: records the root cause, FP boundary, positive boundaries, and 🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Fix empty hostname SSRF bypass #1068 prerequisite.
• Local verification on the repaired tree: 27/27 stored-SSRF tests, 37/37 SSRF/documentation tests, 1,009/1,009 repository tests, and the real repository scan with zero deploy-blocking findings. CodeGraph CLI was unavailable locally; fresh hosted evidence remains authoritative.

Prerequisite and promotion boundary

AppGuardrail #1068 owns the stronger unresolved-DNS fail-closed validator prerequisite. Keep this PR Draft and, after #1068 is accepted into develop, integrate that protected change non-destructively before promotion. This branch must not copy or weaken #1068's detector/runtime contract.

Promote only after the unchanged exact head has terminal tests/security/SAST/CodeQL evidence, current findings are reconciled, and normal protected-branch review accepts it. No predecessor evidence, self-approval, force push, destructive rebase, gate weakening, or administrator bypass.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4da31

Webhook URLs are now validated before storage, preventing unsafe URLs from being persisted. However, callers using an empty string to clear a webhook may now receive an error instead, so this compatibility regression should be fixed before merge.

opener.open to prevent DNS rebinding: resolve the hostname and pin the
connection to the validated public address, or enforce an equivalent egress
policy blocking private-network destinations at connect time. Preserve rejection
of unsafe URLs and add a regression test covering a hostname that resolves
publicly during validation but privately when connecting.
