20250907_00-Release - CodExorcism Release - Not just for Codex

• Unicode characters creeping in from Codex
• Expanded quote normalization: map additional Unicode quote/prime/angle/fullwidth marks to ASCII ' and " for shell-safe output
• Refined VS Code filter handling: only apply newline compensation in filter mode; never in file-write modes; respect CI/CD env
• Normalize Unicode spaces: replace NBSP (U+00A0), NARROW NBSP (U+202F), EN/EM/THIN spaces (U+2000–U+200A), IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE (U+3000), etc., with ASCII space
• Remove bidi/zero-width controls: strip LRM/RLM, embeddings/overrides/isolates, ZWSP/ZWNJ/ZWJ, BOM
• Note: These artifacts were observed in content produced by Codex/VS Code extensions
• No breaking changes; behavior unchanged for already-clean inputs
• Ellipsis handling and normalization
