Scrub document-derived biomarker names before they reach the prompt

The biomarker catalog mints name and unit from labResult.analyte —
model-transcribed free text out of an uploaded document. Both rode into
the status generator raw, the name in system-prompt position, so a
hostile PDF could smuggle instructions past the fence the coach
labs-snapshot already applies to the same fields. Sanitize both at the
snapshot and the system-prompt site.
