Security disclosure

Reads only allowlisted env keys from dispatch.env.local using key=value parsing (no source).

Sends tmux keystrokes only to the run session resolved from local metadata.

Updates local run metadata (status=cancelled, exit_code=130).

Behavior

1. Resolve run-id to exactly one result directory. 2. Send /ralph-loop:cancel-ralph to that tmux session. 3. Perform hard-cancel by requesting /exit and killing tmux session. 4. Return success or precise error.
