Reject blank ownerless claim owner (#4929)

Move the gallery route domain into routes/gallery/ while preserving backward-compatible legacy import shims.

- app imports the canonical gallery route module
- canonical gallery route code imports canonical gallery helpers
- legacy gallery route/helper paths remain compatibility aliases
- add shim regression coverage for module identity and monkeypatch behavior
- repoint gallery source-introspection tests to the canonical paths

No intended behavior change.

+"""Regression tests for the remaining ReDoS sinks in tool_parsing.py.

+that CodeQL (py/polynomial-redos) flagged on the next rescan:
+
+  * `args => { ... }` in `_parse_tool_call_block` — greedy `\\{([\\s\\S]*)\\}`
+    that `re.search` restarts from every `args:{` opener -> O(n^2).
+  * `_XML_INVOKE_RE` — lazy `<invoke ...>([\\s\\S]*?)</invoke>` that rescans to

+  * `_XML_DIRECT_TOOL_RE` and the `<tag>([\\s\\S]*?)</\\1>` param scan in
+    `_parse_tool_code_block` — lazy *backreference* patterns with the same
+    opener-flood blowup.
+
+These run over untrusted model output (tool-call markup is attacker-influenced

+"""Regression tests for #4547 — chat-mode web search query sanitization.
+
+Chat-mode web search (``use_web``) selects a search query via the
+generated-query flow added in #4557: an LLM extracts a concise query, falling
+back to the first non-empty line of the user message when the LLM fails or
+returns an empty result. PR #4863 layers a focused, *defensive* cleanup on top
+of that flow: whatever query is finally selected (generated or fallback) is
+passed through ``_clean_search_query()`` before reaching
+``comprehensive_web_search()``, so residual fenced/inline markdown never leaks
+into the search call.
+
+``_clean_search_query()`` renders the query to HTML via ``markdown``
+(``fenced_code`` extension), drops ``<pre>`` blocks entirely, unwraps inline
+``<code>`` to its text (so ``git reset`` survives), collapses whitespace, and
+truncates.
+
+The first four tests pin the helper directly; the last three prove it is
+wired into the production path and that the combined generated-query +
+sanitization behaviour holds for all three selection outcomes (generated
+success, LLM exception, empty LLM result).
