test: Add security tests for GitHub Issue #13 path traversal vulnerability

- Test path traversal prevention with ../ and absolute paths
- Test symlink-based attacks
- Test core security mechanism (Path.relative_to validation)
- Verify fix from commit db5bc6a5 blocks uncontrolled path expressions
- All 14 security tests passing

Security Tests for FT Timeline Viewer UI
Security Tests for UI Path-Validation
Tests for path traversal vulnerability prevention (GitHub Issue #13).
Ensures user-provided paths are validated before file system access.
Tests for path traversal prevention in get_job_options() function.
Ensures that only directories within the Current Working Directory
can be accessed.
Run:
