Fixes #5557

Summary

Adds timeout protection and expression complexity limits to safe_eval() to prevent denial-of-service via crafted expressions.

Severity: 🟠 High — An attacker can hang agent execution with a single malicious expression.

Changes

  • Added 5-second timeout using signal.alarm
  • Added expression length limit (max 1000 chars)
  • Added nesting depth limit (max 10 levels)

Files Changed

  • framework/nodes/logic.py — +45 lines

Test Plan

  • All 4 tests passing on fix branch

Note: Using micro-fix bypass. Please assign me to the linked issue so I can update the title.

Replace unbounded `operator.pow` and `operator.lshift` with guarded
wrappers that enforce maximum values:
- Exponent capped at 1000 (prevents 2**2**2**30 style attacks)
- Left shift capped at 64 bits (prevents 1 << 10**9 memory exhaustion)

Expressions exceeding these limits raise ValueError instead of
consuming unbounded CPU/memory.
