context-mode is vulnerable to Path Traversal

High Risk
This Affects:
context-modeTL;DR
The plugin cache self-heal routine used a potentially attacker-influenced installPath from installed_plugins.json when creating symlinks/paths. The fix validates that the resolved path stays within ~/.claude/plugins/cache/, preventing path traversal to arbitrary filesystem locations. It also removes existing dangling symlinks before creating new ones to avoid unsafe symlink states.
