sanitize(memory): strip personal data from hex-foundation

Caught during a post-release review — three personalization leaks slipped past
Gate 4's sanitize-check (the check doesn't scan test fixtures or comments):

1. provider.rs hex_root() fallback was the hardcoded path /Users/mrap/hex.
   Now uses $HOME/hex (or /tmp/hex as last resort), matching the rest of the
   codebase's $HOME-relative pattern.

2. recall.rs test fixture used person:whitney / 'Mike\'s wife'.
   Renamed to person:alice / 'a sample person'.

3. recall.rs comments + slug-boost examples used "whitney" / "whitney-chew".
   Renamed to "alice" / "alice-johnson".

Note: there is still substantial pre-existing personalization elsewhere in
the codebase (mrap-hex paths in ~8 files, hardcoded /Users/mrap/... in
integration modules, mrap-dev GCP project) — out of scope for this commit
but worth a dedicated sanitize pass.
