Any way to sandbox or proxy the power negotiation through the sheath? Laptop's USB controller chip could be vulnerable.

Not sure of any that do that, but I've seen quite a few that support most of the charging standards and negotiate the highest current available (still at 5V) so that the phone can usually charge reasonably fast.

There are chips you can buy that do power negotiation. You could design your own PCB that does the job.
