Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from missing output encoding when processing helium.json data. The patch introduces HTML escaping via preventXss() and makes the constructor private. The original fromJson() method (CVE entry point) and public constructor were vulnerable because they allowed unescaped user-controlled data (from helium.json) to flow into the UI without sanitization. The commit adds escaping to all text fields and resources array, confirming these were the injection points.
