Reviewer never reads attachment bodies - neutral markers only (4.4)

A text-file attachment's contents were flowing verbatim into the
reviewer's USER REQUEST block (the list-content extraction kept every
text part, and inlined .txt/.csv attachments ARE text parts) - an
attacker-writable channel into the judge's highest-authority input,
inconsistent with images/PDFs which were dropped silently.

New attachments.reviewer_text(): the user's typed words survive, every
attachment collapses to '[user attached: <name>]' (images: 'an image').
The reviewer learns a file exists - 'clean this up' plus an attachment
IS a different request than 'clean this up' - but never what it says.
The agent's view is untouched. A typed message mimicking the inline
prefix collapses too: the failure direction is less information, never
smuggled content. Prefix and collapser live in the same module so the
spelling cannot drift.

Corpus: inject-015 (planted upload instruction in an attached csv).
Tests: marker collapse, edge shapes, _user_history integration.
