fix(security): replace new Function() with safe math expression parser (#753)
* fix(security): replace new Function() with safe math expression parser

Replace the dangerous new Function() constructor in evaluateMathExpression()
with a recursive descent parser that safely evaluates basic arithmetic
expressions.

The Function constructor is a security anti-pattern that could enable
arbitrary code execution if the validation regex is ever bypassed or
relaxed. The new parser:

- Only supports numbers, +, -, *, /, parentheses, and whitespace
- Has no eval-like functionality that could execute arbitrary code
- Maintains backward compatibility with existing expressions
- Handles operator precedence and parentheses correctly

Fixes #725

* Apply suggestion from @coderabbitai[bot]
