Subject: [PATCH] feat: implement SSRF protection by validating resolved IPs

Resolved domains in `validate_folder_url` to check if they point to private IP addresses.
Previously, only IP literals were checked, allowing domains pointing to localhost/private IPs to bypass validation.
This ensures that `folder-url` cannot be used to access internal services.

Verified with new test cases covering:
- Localhost/Private IP literals (rejected)
- Domains resolving to private IPs (rejected)
- Domains resolving to public IPs (accepted)
- DNS resolution failures (rejected/fail-closed)
