fix: address security issues and improve Docker implementation

Browse Source 
Security Fixes:
- Add command injection prevention in n8n-mcp wrapper with whitelist validation
- Fix race condition in database initialization with proper lock directory creation
- Add flock availability check with fallback behavior
- Implement comprehensive input sanitization in parse-config.js

Improvements:
- Add debug logging support to parse-config.js (DEBUG_CONFIG=true)
- Improve test cleanup error handling with proper error tracking
- Increase integration test timeouts for CI compatibility
- Update test assertions to check environment variables instead of processes

All critical security vulnerabilities identified by code review have been addressed.
