Fix session discovery tests to use dynamic paths and add containment test

Replace hardcoded absolute paths in test assertions with dynamically
constructed paths matching the temp directory. This makes tests portable
across environments where path.resolve() produces different results.

Add test verifying that absolute paths pointing outside the projects
directory (e.g. /etc/shadow.jsonl) are rejected by the discovery filter.
