fix(security): address CodeQL security alerts and code quality issues (#1286)

Security fixes:
- Use secure temporary directories with mkdtempSync() instead of
  predictable /tmp paths in terminal-session-store.test.ts to prevent
  symlink attacks and race conditions (10 high severity alerts)

Code quality fixes:
- Remove dead code in PhaseProgressIndicator.tsx where totalSubtasks > 0
  was always false due to earlier condition check
- Clean up unused imports across test files (conftest.py,
  test_dependency_validator.py, test_github_pr_e2e.py,
  test_github_pr_review.py, test_merge_fixtures.py, test_recovery.py,
  test_spec_pipeline.py, test_thinking_level_validation.py)
- Remove unused variables and functions in frontend components
  (Sidebar.tsx, GitHubIssues.tsx, ProfileEditDialog.test.tsx,
  useGitHubPRs.test.ts, python-env-manager.ts, agent-process.ts)
- Add explanatory comments for intentionally unused variables
