Fix false positives in agent guardrails

Skip empty fingerprints in SystemPromptLeakGuardrail to prevent blank
values from flagging every message. Replace overly broad "sk-" pattern
in SensitiveDataGuardrail with specific LLM provider prefixes
("sk-proj-" for OpenAI, "sk-ant-" for Anthropic) to avoid false
positives on common words like "risk-based" or "task-management".
