fix(management)+fix(cli): neutralize CSV formula injection + align export columns; deadline + Ctrl-C on audit export streaming (arch-review 2026-08-19 P6-7 + P6-8)

P6-7 (CWE-1236): AuditEndpoints CSV export quoted cells on comma/quote/CR/LF
but never neutralized a leading =, +, -, @, TAB, or CR — inbound-API-caller
text landing in Target/ErrorMessage/RequestSummary/ResponseSummary/Extra
could execute as a formula/DDE trigger when opened in Excel. AppendField now
prefixes a literal single quote on free-text columns only (never the
GUID/enum/numeric/date/bool columns the exporter formats itself), applied
before RFC 4180 quoting. The CSV was also missing ExecutionId/
ParentExecutionId/SourceNode that the JSONL export already carried; both are
now 24 columns in the same AuditExportRow order. A second, independently
maintained CSV writer (CentralUI's AuditLogExportService, feeding the Audit
Log page's bulk-export button) had the identical gap and got the identical
fix + column alignment.

P6-8: `audit export` was the one CLI HTTP path with no deadline at all — a
residual gap from the ManagementHttpClient timeout-honesty fix, which made
HttpClient.Timeout infinite and the per-call token the single deadline
everywhere except this streamed GET. RunExportAsync now takes a headers-
received deadline (CancelAfter, reusing ManagementHttpClient.
DefaultConnectTimeout) around the initial GetAsync, an inactivity deadline
around the streaming copy (rearmed on every successful read, so large exports
are bounded by silence, not total size), and an external CancellationToken
wired to Console.CancelKeyPress in AuditCommands so Ctrl-C cancels promptly.
A stalled/faulted stream now produces a friendly error noting the partial
output file instead of hanging or dumping a stack trace.
