Yang JunandCursor 2803730a14 fix(strip_html): rewrite as linear single-pass scan to avoid ReDoS
The previous strip_html regex
  /<script[\s\S]*?<\/script>|<style[\s\S]*?<\/style>|<[\s\S]*?>|<!--[\s\S]*?-->/g
contains lazy alternatives that backtrack O(n^2) on inputs with many
unclosed `<script` / `<style` openers. A 350KB payload of
`'<script'.repeat(50000)` blocked the Node.js event loop for ~10s, and
cost grew quadratically with input size. memoryLimit only charged
str.length, which does not bound regex CPU.

Replace the regex with an indexOf-based single-pass scan. For each `<`
we:
- if `<script` opener: find next `</script>` and skip the whole block;
  cache "no closer after pos k" so subsequent unclosed `<script`
  openers do not re-scan the tail.
- same for `<style` / `</style>`.
- otherwise treat as a generic `<...>` tag (matches the original
  behavior, where the `<[\s\S]*?>` alternative also caught comments).
- if no closing `>` exists, emit the tail as literal text and stop.

Total work is O(n). All existing strip_html test cases pass unchanged.

Add regression tests covering the PoCs (`<script` / `<style` repeats,
and `<script>foo` repeats with `>` but no `</script>`) plus a
memoryLimit assertion.
