`safety` was declared in the dev group but never invoked — the CI
security-scan job only runs bandit and pip-audit, and pip-audit already
provides the same dependency-CVE scanning. Its only practical effect was
pulling in nltk, which carries an unpatched HIGH path-traversal advisory
(GHSA-p4gq-832x-fm9v) with no fix available.
Removing safety drops nltk (and safety-schemas/typer/tenacity/tomlkit)
from the lockfile entirely, closing the alert with no loss of coverage.
Updated the stale CI comment that referenced safety. Full suite green
(2537 passed); pip-audit and bandit unaffected.
