Add a byte-wise leading-BOM check.

The grep -aPrl scan does not detect a UTF-8 leading BOM (EF BB BF). Add a byte-wise check, merge its paths with the regex results, and run sort -u before wc -l so each file is counted once.

In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml at line 131, Add a byte-wise scan for the
UTF-8 leading BOM bytes EF BB BF alongside the existing PATTERNS/grep results,
merge both path lists, then apply sort -u before wc -l so files matching both
checks are counted once.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: Avoid silencing stderr by removing 2>/dev/null. If grep fails due to regex syntax errors or environment issues (such as missing PCRE support), the current redirection causes the linter to silently report zero findings instead of failing the build. Additionally, the -r (recursive) flag is redundant here because find is already providing individual file paths to grep.
