Support large target repos with with bind-mount option. (#577)

* fix: resolve pre-commit check failures

- Change RuntimeError to TypeError for type validation in report/writer.py
- Update pyupgrade to v3.21.2 for Python 3.14 compatibility

* chore: add pytest test infrastructure

Mirror the layout introduced on feature/438-token_budget: pytest +
pytest-asyncio dev deps, asyncio_mode auto, a tests.* mypy override, and
pytest in the mypy pre-commit hook deps so the tests/ package type-checks.

* feat: add --mount and large-target pre-flight for local repos (#492)

Large local targets were copied into the sandbox file-by-file via the SDK
LocalDir entry, which stalls on big repos and could leave /workspace empty.

- --mount <path> bind-mounts a host directory read-only at /workspace/<subdir>
  instead of copying it, bypassing the per-file stream.
- A size pre-flight (STRIX_MAX_LOCAL_COPY_MB, default 1024) fails fast with a
  clear message suggesting --mount when a non-mounted local target is too big.

* fix: reject empty --mount paths

An empty or whitespace-only --mount value resolves to the current working
directory and would silently bind-mount it into the sandbox. Reject it.

* fix: dedupe local targets so a dir is never both copied and mounted

If the same directory is passed via --target and --mount (or as duplicate
values), it previously produced two targets — copied AND bind-mounted, and
the copied one could trip the size pre-flight. Dedupe by resolved path,
preferring the bind mount.

* fix: treat non-positive STRIX_MAX_LOCAL_COPY_MB as disabled

Previously a value of 0 (or negative) made every local target count as
oversized, aborting all local scans. Now <= 0 disables the pre-flight.

* fix: log unreadable subtrees during size pre-flight

os.walk silently swallowed directory-listing errors, so a permission-denied
subtree could make a large repo under-count and slip past the pre-flight.
Surface such omissions via an onerror warning.

* docs: document --mount and STRIX_MAX_LOCAL_COPY_MB

Add CLI reference + example for --mount, document the size pre-flight env var,
note the read-only-is-not-a-hard-boundary caveat and that remote repos are not
size-checked, and clarify the backends docstring on when bind mounts apply.

* Update strix/interface/main.py


* Update strix/runtime/docker_client.py

Bind-mount a local directory into the sandbox (read-only) instead of copying it in file-by-file. Use this for large repositories that are too big to stream into the container. Can be specified multiple times.
Strix copies local `--target` directories into the sandbox one file at a time, which stalls on very large trees. When a local target exceeds the copy limit (see `STRIX_MAX_LOCAL_COPY_MB`, default 1024 MB) Strix exits early and asks you to re-run with `--mount`.
<Note>
The mount is read-only to protect your source from accidental modification. This is not a hard security boundary: a root process inside the container can remount it writable, so treat `--mount` as "scan my own code", not as isolation from untrusted code.
</Note>
<Note>
The size pre-flight only covers local directory targets. Remote repositories (cloned at scan time) are not size-checked.
