/**
 * Unit Tests: server validation helpers (gitnexus/src/server/validation.ts)
 *
 * Covers U1 of the security remediation plan:
 *   - assertString closes js/type-confusion-through-parameter-tampering by
 *     rejecting array-form HTTP query parameters before they reach a `.length` guard.
 *   - assertSafePath consolidates the path-traversal guard from api.ts:1067-1077
 *     for reuse across other path-injection findings.
 *   - escapeRegExp is the utility for upcoming /api/grep regex-injection fix.
