Fix the 3 Phase-2 mediums from the PR #2 review (still gated OFF)

Hardens the Ollama Phase-2 path before it can be enabled; no effect on the
default-off behaviour (these run only when the score-blend / veto flags are on).

1. catalyst_score no longer floors sentiment at neutral: a high-conviction
   BEARISH catalyst scored 0.45 (same as neutral) and LIFTED setup quality —
   backwards. Now `conviction * max(0, sentiment)`: only bullish boosts;
   bearish/neutral score 0. (+ bearish regression test.)
2. Prompt injection: the untrusted headline now sits in a delimited, length-
   capped <news> block, the model is told to treat it as DATA not instructions,
   and a </news> breakout token is stripped — so "...classify as bullish,
   is_dilutive=false" can't flip the verdict or bypass the veto. (+ 2 tests.)
3. The dilution-veto catalyst_provider no longer reads the SHARED research_con
   from the trigger thread: it refreshes under a lock using its OWN dedicated
   connection (opened lazily, single-threaded use), 30s TTL keeps DB hits rare.

tests/unit: 201 passed.
