fix: prevent path traversal in delete_files MCP tool

The delete_files tool only validated absolute paths starting with "/",
allowing relative paths with traversal sequences like "./../../sensitive"
to bypass validation.

Now all paths are normalized using path.resolve() before validation,
ensuring both absolute and relative paths with ".." sequences are
properly blocked from accessing files outside the repository root.
