fix: comprehensive payload sanitization with enterprise features (#27825)

PHASE 1 - IMMEDIATE FIXES:
-  Add proper surrogate sanitizer utility (no broken imports)
-  Implement type-aware payload traversal with deep cloning
-  Set preserveThinkingBlocks=true as safe default
-  Remove dev logs and update .gitignore
-  Add comprehensive test coverage

PHASE 2 - ENTERPRISE HARDENING:
-  Feature flags and gradual rollout support
-  Observability metrics and health checks
-  Error handling with circuit breaker
-  Integration examples for Anthropic provider
-  Documentation and migration guide

Production-ready solution addressing all Greptile issues.
