FinanceNotification.createChargeSummaryReport is a divergent copy of the ehr_billing BillingNotification report and interpolated editor-entered database values (investigator, project, debitedAccount, projectNumber, category) and their derived URLs directly into HTML without escaping. That HTML is rendered verbatim into the LDK RunNotificationAction admin preview via HtmlString.unsafe and is also sent as the HTML email body, so a stored payload in any of those project/alias fields executed in the browser of any user who previewed the notification or received the email. Wrap every tainted value with PageFlowUtil.filter in both the per-financial-analyst tables and the top category summary table (which was also unescaped in this copy), matching the fix applied to BillingNotification.
DCMFinanceNotification overrides FinanceNotification.writeResultTable with its own copy of the report, so the escaping fix to the parent class did not cover it. It concatenated editor-entered database values (project, alias/account, OGA project number, category) and their derived URLs directly into HTML without escaping, reaching the same LDK RunNotificationAction admin preview (HtmlString.unsafe) and HTML email sink. It is registered as an active notification in ONPRC_BillingModule. Wrap every tainted value with PageFlowUtil.filter in both the per-project tables and the top category summary table, mapping to this override's token layout (tokens[0] project, tokens[1] alias, tokens[2] OGA project number).

Rationale
FinanceNotification.writeResultTable and its overriding subclass DCMFinanceNotification.writeResultTable are divergent copies of the ehr_billing BillingNotification report that concatenated editor-entered database values (investigator, project, alias/account, OGA project number, category) and their derived URLs directly into HTML with no escaping. That HTML is rendered verbatim into the LDK RunNotificationAction admin preview via HtmlString.unsafe and is also sent as the HTML email body, so a stored payload in any of those project/alias fields executed in the browser of any user who previewed the notification or received the email — a stored XSS with privilege-escalation potential toward admins. Both are registered, active notifications (ONPRC_BillingModule). This is the ONPRC counterpart to the BillingNotification fix; unlike that copy, the top category summary table here was also unescaped.
