Address PR review feedback on the URL-mode trust boundary. `<ak-mdx>`'s `replacers` hook runs over pre-rendered build-time HTML before it is stamped into the DOM, and consumers (e.g. `ProxyProviderViewPage`) splice admin-controlled values such as `provider.externalHost` into it. The old React pipeline ran replacers on raw markdown that was then compiled, so those values were HTML-escaped on serialization; the new URL mode passed the post-replacer HTML straight through, dropping that guarantee. Replace the passthrough `CompiledMarkdownTrustPolicy` with `CompiledMarkdownSanitizePolicy`: a DOMPurify policy that whitelists the custom elements (`<ak-alert>`, `<ak-md-a>`, `<ak-diagram>`) and the `part`/`level` attributes our pipeline emits, and strips anything else a replacer could inject. Also add a reciprocal drift note to the runtime `markdown.ts` pointing at `bundler/mdx-plugin/`, mirroring the existing note on the bundler side.
