/// InboundAPI-005: Enforces the ScadaBridge script trust model on inbound API method
/// scripts before they are compiled into executable handlers.
///
/// The trust model (CLAUDE.md, Akka.NET conventions) forbids scripts from reaching
/// <c>System.IO</c>, <c>System.Diagnostics.Process</c>, <c>System.Threading</c>,
/// <c>System.Reflection</c>, and raw network APIs. Roslyn scripting performs no
/// API allow/deny-listing — restricting default imports is a convenience, not a
/// sandbox — so a script can fully-qualify any referenced type. This static check
/// walks the script syntax tree and rejects any reference to a forbidden namespace,
/// whether reached through a <c>using</c> directive or a fully-qualified name.
/// This class is now a thin shim that delegates to the shared, authoritative
/// <see cref="ScriptTrustValidator.FindViolations"/> implemented in
/// <c>ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.ScriptAnalysis</c> (M3.4). The unified validator runs
/// both a semantic symbol pass (catching alias / <c>global::</c> / <c>using static</c>
/// escapes) and the reflection-gateway + <c>dynamic</c> / <c>Activator</c> syntactic
/// hardening that previously lived exclusively in this file.
///
/// <para>
/// InboundAPI-015: a purely namespace-textual deny-list is bypassable because
/// reflection is reachable through members of <em>permitted</em> types that never
/// spell a forbidden namespace, e.g.
/// <c>typeof(string).Assembly.GetType("System.IO.File")</c>. The walker therefore
/// also rejects a curated set of reflection-gateway member names (<c>GetType</c>,
/// <c>Assembly</c>, <c>GetMethod</c>, <c>InvokeMember</c>, <c>CreateInstance</c>, …)
/// and the <c>dynamic</c> keyword. This is hardening of a best-effort static check,
/// <strong>not</strong> a true sandbox — a determined script author may still find
/// a vector the syntax walker cannot see (see the security notes in
/// <c>code-reviews/InboundAPI/findings.md</c>, InboundAPI-015). The check is
/// defence-in-depth; genuine containment needs a runtime boundary (restricted
/// <c>AssemblyLoadContext</c> / curated reference set / out-of-process sandbox).
/// <c>typeof(string).Assembly.GetType("System.IO.File")</c>. The shared validator
/// handles this with both semantic resolution and reflection-gateway member
/// hardening — <c>GetType</c>, <c>Assembly</c>, <c>GetMethod</c>, <c>InvokeMember</c>,
/// <c>CreateInstance</c>, and the <c>dynamic</c> keyword are all rejected. This
/// remains hardening of a best-effort static check, <strong>not</strong> a true sandbox
