fix(security): sandbox preview iframes to prevent XSS

Browse Source 
Add sandbox='allow-scripts' to all preview iframes. This isolates
user-executed code from the parent page's localStorage (auth tokens),
cookies, and DOM. Switch from document.write() to srcdoc attribute
since sandboxed iframes can't use document.write().

Addresses SEC-1 (critical) from security audit.
