fix: release GET KEY expression temporaries

 `RUN COMMAND` is documented and validated as a trusted-code capability: it executes shell commands with the user's permissions and is not a sandbox. Claro does not claim untrusted-script safety or use a fragile blacklist sanitizer. Focused documentation coverage is `tools/validate_trusted_command_docs.py`.

 The validator runs 2,000 prompt/input operations with AddressSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, and LeakSanitizer enabled. The dedicated validator passes. A separate malformed-input sanitizer smoke run (`gcc -std=c99 -O0 -g -fsanitize=address,undefined src/claro.c -o ... -lm` followed by the generated malformed script) exits 1 due to two existing leaked error-message strings (140 bytes total) allocated in `rt_error` at `src/claro.c:142`; this is outside the ASK cleanup slice and remains a blocker to sanitizer-clean malformed-input validation.
