fix(review): avoid overlapping screenshot table extraction

[JSONbored]

Motivation

• The matrix-mode table parser could repeatedly rescan overlapping header+separator candidates and materialize the same rows many times, creating a quadratic CPU/memory denial-of-service risk for attacker-controlled PR bodies.
• The change prevents that excessive re-scanning while preserving the intended matrix detection behavior.

Description

• Advance the outer scan index past a detected markdown table region in extractTableRows() so each table region is processed once instead of being re-scanned from every matching header line; implemented in src/review/screenshot-table-gate.ts.
• Apply the same fix to the duplicated implementation in packages/gittensory-engine/src/review/screenshot-table-gate.ts for parity.
• Add regression tests that assert a crafted separator-only table is extracted once (tests added to both test/unit/screenshot-table-gate.test.ts and test/unit/screenshot-table-gate-engine.test.ts).
• Refresh generated Cloudflare Worker types (worker-configuration.d.ts) to satisfy the cf-typegen drift check.

Testing

• Ran the targeted unit tests with npm test -- --run test/unit/screenshot-table-gate.test.ts test/unit/screenshot-table-gate-engine.test.ts, and the two test files passed (all included assertions succeeded).
• Ran the targeted coverage command npm run test:coverage -- --run test/unit/screenshot-table-gate.test.ts test/unit/screenshot-table-gate-engine.test.ts, where the focused tests passed but the global coverage threshold check failed when v8 reported repository-wide coverage below the required threshold.
• Attempted the full local gate with npm run test:ci; the run exercised many checks but did not complete cleanly in this environment due to external/tooling fallbacks and unrelated suite failures (network/DNS and environment-driven failures outside the scope of this patch).
• Attempted npm audit --audit-level=moderate, which failed due to the registry audit endpoint returning 403 Forbidden in the environment; no package changes were made by this PR.

Review summary
This is a real, correctly-implemented fix for a quadratic rescan in extractTableRows(): by setting `i = j - 1` after consuming a detected table region, each header+separator block is processed once instead of being re-scanned from every subsequent matching line, and the new test (40 separator-only lines → exactly 38 rows) genuinely distinguishes fixed from unfixed behavior since without the fix the same body would produce a triangular-sum blowup rather than 38. However, the identical for-loop-with-inner-while pattern in hasImageBearingMarkdownTable (src/review/screenshot-table-gate.ts) is left untouched and still has no analogous skip, so the same crafted-separator-row DoS this PR claims to close is still fully reachable through the default presence-mode gate path.

Blockers

• hasImageBearingMarkdownTable in src/review/screenshot-table-gate.ts (and its packages/gittensory-engine twin) has the exact same overlapping-rescan for-loop/while-loop shape as the pre-fix extractTableRows but was not given the `i = j - 1` skip, so a crafted PR body of many separator-only lines with no image markup still forces O(n²) work on the presence-mode path (the gate's non-matrix, default-config path), meaning the DoS this PR claims to fix is still reachable through evaluateScreenshotTableGate.

Nits — 4 non-blocking

• No inline comment on the new `i = j - 1;` line explaining why the outer index jumps past the consumed table region — the surrounding function already carries heavy rationale comments, and a one-line note would keep future edits from accidentally reverting the skip.
• The regression test only asserts the post-fix row count (38); consider also asserting on timing or explicitly documenting in the test comment that removing `i = j - 1` reproduces a triangular/quadratic row count, so a future refactor that reintroduces the bug fails obviously rather than just returning a different number.
• Apply the same `i = j - 1;` (or equivalent early-exit-aware skip) to hasImageBearingMarkdownTable in both src/review/screenshot-table-gate.ts and packages/gittensory-engine/src/review/screenshot-table-gate.ts, with a matching crafted-body regression test for that function.
• Consider factoring the shared header+separator-detection loop (duplicated across hasImageBearingMarkdownTable and extractTableRows) into one helper now that it needs the same fix twice — the existing doc comment on extractTableRows explicitly chose duplication for behavior-pinning reasons, but that tradeoff is exactly what let this second copy drift out of sync with the security fix.

• Change scope = cached public metadata such as size labels, draft state, and review-burden hints.
• Validation posture = whether the PR provides enough public validation/test evidence for maintainer review.
• Contributor workload = public contributor activity and cleanup pressure, not a repo-wide quality failure.
• Contributor context = public GitHub/Gittensor identity context; non-Gittensor status is not a blocker.
