A gov.np HTTP probe ran 66 minutes over 25,916 host and port pairs, then lost every
row: a captured response body carried a NUL byte, postgres refuses NUL in text and in
json alike, and the failing flush rolled back the whole stage transaction. Recording
that failure then failed too — psycopg puts the offending parameters in its error
message, so the NUL travelled into `scan_activities.error` and took the failure path
down with it, leaving the activity RUNNING and the scan unable to finalize.
`shared/utils/text.py` is now the one place that names what postgres will not store.
`strip_nul` runs through every string, list and dict a tool record yields, applied in
`tools/runner/fieldmap.py` so every tool that maps a record is covered rather than
httpx alone. `strip_control` replaces the two identical local regexes in the nuclei
parser and the template indexer, and now also guards the activity log, the activity
timeline and the command recorder — the three places that write a tool's own words.
The HTTP probe's batch flush runs in a savepoint: a row postgres refuses costs that
row, retried one at a time, and the count comes back as a PARTIAL stage naming how
many responses could not be stored. Recording a stage failure is wrapped too, so a
second error while writing the first can never leave a scan running forever.

- Added `clean_name` function to `validation.py` for name validation with max length.
- Simplified docstrings in `dnsx` client, parser, and service files for clarity.
- Enhanced error handling in `ViewDNSService` to prevent disabling keys on rate limits.
- Improved WHOIS service to handle concurrent inserts gracefully with integrity checks.
- Updated `Settings` class in worker config to inherit from `BaseAppSettings`.
- Added new dependencies in `pyproject.toml` for `apprise` and `cryptography`.
