fix: address nitpick feedback from PR #423

## Security Fix (Command Injection)
- Use `execFile` with argument arrays instead of string interpolation
- Add `safeOpenInEditor` helper that properly handles `open -a` commands
- Validate that worktreePath is an absolute path before execution
- Prevents shell metacharacter injection attacks

## Shared Type Definition
- Move `EditorInfo` interface to `@automaker/types` package
- Server and UI now import from shared package to prevent drift
- Re-export from use-available-editors.ts for convenience

## Remove Unused Code
- Remove unused `defaultEditorName` prop from WorktreeActionsDropdown
- Remove prop from WorktreeTab component interface
- Remove useDefaultEditor hook usage from WorktreePanel
- Export new hooks from hooks/index.ts
