fix(sdd): invoke sdd-workspace via bash so helpers survive stripped exec bits

Codex marketplace users hit 'Permission denied' running SDD helpers:
some extractors (Python zipfile) discard Unix mode attributes when
unpacking the package, so task-brief's and review-package's direct exec
of their sibling sdd-workspace fails. Our packaging preserves 0755
(git archive | tar -xpf, asserted by the existing packaging test) — the
bits are lost on the consumer side, which no packaging change can reach.
Invoking the sibling via "${BASH:-bash}" makes the exec bit irrelevant.

TDD: new regression case copies the helpers, chmod -x, runs task-brief
via bash — RED with the reported rc=126 Permission denied, GREEN after.

Reported in #2040 (michaelholcomb-creator). Fixes #2040.
