auditor: 2 BLOCK fixes from kimi_architect on a50e9586 audit

Lands 2 of the 3 BLOCKs from the auto-reset commit's audit:

1. static.ts:67-130 — backtick state-machine ordering
   `inMultilineBacktick` was updated AFTER pattern checks ran on a
   line, so any block-pattern hit on a line that opened a backtick
   block was evaluated under stale "outside-backtick" semantics.
   Net effect: false-positive BLOCK findings on hardcoded-string
   patterns sitting inside multi-line template literals (where they
   are legitimately quoted, not executed).
   Fix: compute state-at-line-start BEFORE pattern checks; carry
   state-at-line-end forward for the next iteration. Pattern checks
   now use `stateAtLineStart` consistently.

2. static.ts:223-228 — parentStructHasSerdeDerive bounds check
   The function walked backward from `fieldLineIdx` without
   validating it against `lines.length`. If a malformed diff fed
   in an out-of-range fieldLineIdx, the loop's implicit upper bound
   (`fieldLineIdx - 80`) could still be > 0, leading to undefined-
   slot reads or silently wrong results.
   Fix: defensive bail (`if (fieldLineIdx < 0 || >= lines.length)
   return false`) before the loop runs.

SKIPPED with rationale:

- BLOCK on types.ts:96 (requireSha256 "optional-chaining bypass")
  Investigated: requireString correctly catches null/undefined/object
  via `typeof !== "string"`; the call site at line 96 is just an
  invocation of the function defined at line 81-88. The full code
  paths (null, undefined, object, short string, valid hex) all
  produce correct error/success outcomes. Kimi's rationale was
  truncated at 200 chars; no bypass found in the actual code.
  Treating as a confabulation.

Verification:
  bun build auditor/checks/static.ts                    compiles
  Daemon restart needed to activate; auto-reset cap will fire
  [1/3] on the new SHA.
