fix: Strip ANSI color sequences from tool output

Add stripAnsiCodes function to sanitizer and apply it in formatResultContent
to remove terminal color escape codes (e.g., [1;33m for yellow/bold) from
tool output before displaying it in GitHub comments.

This ensures clean, readable output without raw ANSI escape sequences
appearing in the formatted tool results.
