Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): prevent command injection in governance
 service

Replaced `execSync` with `execFileSync` in `src/services/governance/index.js` to avoid shell interpretation of variable-derived inputs (such as agent IDs and file targets). This mitigates command injection risks in `createProposal`, `applyProposal`, and `rollbackPrompt`.

- Used `execFileSync` for all git operations.
- Updated logic to correctly handle `git diff` exit code 1.
- Removed unused `execSync` import.
