⚪ LOW RISK

Suggestion: To ensure robust matching of Unicode code points (like \x{200b}) across different environments, it is best practice to prefix the PCRE pattern with (*UTF). This forces the engine into UTF-8 mode regardless of the runner's locale.

Add a separate leading-BOM check.

When a file starts with UTF-8 BOM bytes EF BB BF, grep -aPrl '\x{feff}' does not report the file. Add a separate first-three-byte scan, then merge and de-duplicate paths before calculating FINDINGS. Keep -a for NUL-containing files.

In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml at line 124, The PATTERNS scan must also
detect UTF-8 BOM bytes at the beginning of files. Add a separate
first-three-byte BOM scan while preserving the existing grep -a behavior, then
merge and de-duplicate both path lists before calculating FINDINGS.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: The -exec ... {} \; syntax runs a new grep process for every file found. Using + allows find to batch multiple file paths into fewer grep calls, which is much faster. Additionally, the -r (recursive) flag is redundant because find already handles directory traversal.

Suggested change:

-exec grep -aPl "$PATTERNS" {} + > /tmp/empty-lint-results.txt 2>/dev/null
