[patch] [tests]: Prove tool denial is enforced, not merely refused
The previous assertion grepped for the CLI's "Disabled tools:" notice, which is not emitted on stdout under --output-format json, so it failed spuriously while the actual control was fine. More importantly it could not distinguish an enforced denial from the model simply declining -- which is model behaviour, not a security control. Now inspects tool requests in the JSONL transcript and asserts the canary never appears anywhere in the raw transcript, not just the final reply.
