@asymmetric-effort/specifyjs: URL parse failure silently allows request
Description
## Finding **Location**: `core/src/shared/secure-fetch.ts:42-45` When `new URL()` throws a parse error, the `assertSecureUrl` function returned without throwing, silently allowing the request to proceed without HTTPS validation. ## Status **Fixed in v0.2.136** — The catch block now throws an error instead of silently returning.
