chore(ci): address PR#38 round-2 review (cooldown/drift/pin/guard)
Resolves Nishant's second review on PR #38: 1. cooldown is inert for the github-actions Dependabot ecosystem — kept only to satisfy Semgrep's dependabot-missing-cooldown rule; documented as inert in dependabot.yml (no real release-age protection for action bumps). 2. Semgrep image drift workflow: made the intended-failure branches reachable under GHA's injected `bash -e` (|| true on the grep/token/latest command substitutions + explicit empty-token guard), same class of fix as #37 66249fe. Verified: happy/stale/pin-removed/registry-down all annotate+exit. 3. Reworked the alarm from "differs from :latest" (red most weeks → muted) to "pinned image older than 45 days" (actionable). Bumped the Semgrep image pin to the current :latest digest so it lands green: f682953… -> f1f7b71861c7b28b6e0f661225a2c4f58a484f5d0f182465c6d6b3b22f972ade (created 2026-08-20, ~8 days old). 4. Removed the job-level `if: github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]'` guard on Semgrep.yml and scoped it to only the privileged upload-sarif step, so Dependabot PRs that bump the action pins living in Semgrep.yml still get scanned; only the security-events:write SARIF upload is skipped for them. Also documented the scheduled-workflow ops caveat (60-day inactivity disable; failed runs notify only the last cron editor) in the drift workflow.
