fix: batch v0.50.234-235 — XSS hardening, workspace validation, profile switch fixes

v0.50.235 (#1203 — profile switch workspace/model/chip, 3 bugs + flaky test):
- switch_profile now reads target profile's workspace directly (thread-local bypass)
- invalidate_models_cache() after profile switch (model dropdown staleness)
- syncTopbar() updates chip before early-return (no-session path)

v0.50.234 (#1201/#1205 — XSS hardening + workspace security):
- renderMd() full HTML attribute sanitizer replacing tag-name-only allowlist
- Delegated image lightbox (removes all inline onclick)
- macOS /etc → /private/etc symlink bypass fixed
- /System /Library added to blocked workspace roots
- Legacy /api/chat workspace trust gap closed

Both PRs independently reviewed. 2787/2787 tests. QA harness 20/20 + 11/11 API checks.

+## [v0.50.235] — 2026-04-28
+
+### Fixed
+- **Profile switch shows correct workspace, model, and chip label immediately** — Three separate
+  bugs caused profile switching to appear broken: (1) `switch_profile(process_wide=False)` returned
+  the old profile's workspace because `get_last_workspace()` routed through thread-local profile
+  context (still pointing at the old profile during the switch); (2) the model dropdown showed stale
+  results because the in-memory models cache wasn't invalidated; (3) the profile chip stayed on the
+  old name because `syncTopbar()` returned early without updating it when no session was active.
+  (`api/profiles.py`, `api/routes.py`, `static/ui.js`,
+  `tests/test_profile_switch_1200.py`) (PR #1203)
+- **Flaky test stabilisation** — `test_server_now_ms_compensates_positive_skew` used exact-ms
+  equality across two `Date.now()` calls; fixed with midpoint averaging and ±5 ms tolerance.
+  (`tests/test_issue1144_session_time_sync.py`)
+## [v0.50.234] — 2026-04-28
+
+### Fixed
+- **XSS hardening in markdown renderer** — HTML tags in LLM output were filtered by
+  tag name only, allowing event handlers like `onerror` and `onclick` to pass through
+  on `<img>` and other elements. The sanitizer now strips all attributes except a
+  per-tag allowlist and blocks `javascript:`, `data:`, and `vbscript:` URL schemes.
+  Incomplete raw tags (`<img src=x onerror=...//` with no closing `>`) are escaped
+  before paragraph wrapping so they cannot be completed by the renderer's own output.
+  (`static/ui.js`)
+- **Delegated image lightbox** — inline `onclick` handlers on `<img class="msg-media-img">`
+  replaced with a single delegated `document.addEventListener('click')`, eliminating the
+  last source of inline event handler HTML in rendered output. (`static/ui.js`)
+- **Workspace trust for macOS symlink paths** — `/etc` on macOS resolves to `/private/etc`
+  which previously bypassed the blocked-roots check. The new `_is_blocked_workspace_path`
+  helper compares both the raw and resolved path. Also adds `/System` and `/Library` to
+  the blocked roots. (`api/workspace.py`)
+- **Legacy `/api/chat` workspace validation** — the synchronous chat fallback endpoint
+  was not routing through `resolve_trusted_workspace()`, allowing arbitrary paths to be
+  set as workspace. (`api/routes.py`)
+- **`linked_files` type guard** — skill view responses with a `null` or non-dict
+  `linked_files` field no longer crash the skills API. (`api/routes.py`)
+  (by @bschmidy10, PR #1201)

+- **Workspace trust for /var/home paths** — workspaces under `/var/home` (used by

+  flagged `/var` as a system root. The home-directory trust check in both
+  `resolve_trusted_workspace` and `validate_workspace_to_add` now correctly trusts any
+  path under `Path.home()` regardless of where the home directory lives on disk.
