[test] Add tests for proxy.initGuardPolicy (#4333)

# Test Coverage Improvement: `proxy.initGuardPolicy`

## Function Analyzed

- **Package**: `internal/proxy`
- **Function**: `(*Server).initGuardPolicy`
- **File**: `internal/proxy/proxy.go` (lines 150–213)
- **Previous Coverage**: 0% (no direct tests existed)
- **Complexity**: High — 6 distinct branches, DIFC enforcement, agent
label application

## Why This Function?

`initGuardPolicy` is the core method that connects a proxy `Server` to
its WASM guard, sets up agent DIFC labels (secrecy/integrity), and
optionally overrides the enforcement mode. Despite its criticality to
the proxy security model, it had **zero direct unit tests** — it was
only exercised indirectly through integration tests that require a real
WASM binary.

The function is non-trivial:
- Parses and validates guard policy JSON
- Rejects write-sink policies (proxy only supports allow-only)
- Normalizes legacy `allowonly` key → `allow-only` before trusted-user
injection
- Calls `LabelAgent` on the guard and applies returned secrecy/integrity
tags to the agent registry
- Overrides the server's enforcement mode when the guard's response
specifies one

## Tests Added

A new test file `internal/proxy/init_guard_policy_test.go` (264 lines)
covers:

- ✅ **Invalid JSON** — `"not-valid-json"` rejected with "invalid policy
JSON" error
- ✅ **Validation failure** — empty `{}` rejected with "policy validation
failed" error
- ✅ **Write-sink rejected** — `{"write-sink":{...}}` rejected with
"write-sink policies are not supported"
- ✅ **LabelAgent error** — guard error propagates with "LabelAgent
failed" wrapping
- ✅ **Happy path** — successful initialization sets `guardInitialized =
true`
- ✅ **Agent label application** — secrecy and integrity tags from guard
response applied to proxy agent registry
- ✅ **DIFCMode override** — guard returning "strict" overrides server
started in "filter" mode
- ✅ **Invalid DIFCMode silently ignored** — unrecognized mode preserves
original enforcement mode
- ✅ **Empty DIFCMode** — skips mode-override block, initial mode
preserved
- ✅ **Legacy `allowonly` key** — accepted via policy-map normalization
- ✅ **Legacy key + trusted users** — normalization enables trusted-user
injection
- ✅ **Trusted bots + users** — forwarded alongside policy without error
- ✅ **Multiple secrecy tags** — all tags applied to agent registry

## Test Infrastructure

Added a `labelAgentStubGuard` test double (implements `guard.Guard`)
with configurable `LabelAgent` return values, alongside a
`newTestServerForInitGuardPolicy` helper that assembles a minimal
`*Server`. This pattern follows the existing `stubGuard` in
`handler_difc_test.go`.

## Coverage Improvement

```
Before: 0% — initGuardPolicy had no direct tests
After:  ~100% branch coverage for initGuardPolicy
```
