🛡️ Sentinel: [Security Enhancement] Escape backticks in input sanitization

Vulnerability:
Standard HTML entity encoding often overlooks backticks (`). If a sanitized string is interpolated into a JavaScript template literal (e.g., in a script tag or event handler), an unescaped backtick can break out of the string context and allow arbitrary code execution (XSS).

Fix:
Updated sanitizeInput in src/utils/security.ts to replace backticks with `.

Verification:
Added a test case in src/utils/security.test.ts which confirms that backticks are correctly escaped.
Ran src/utils/security.test.ts and it passed.
Ran full test suite to ensure no regressions (failures in other files are pre-existing).
