feat(security): add gitleaks secret scanning — this repo had none
An estate-wide audit of secret-scanning coverage found this repository has no leak detection of any kind: no gitleaks, no trufflehog, nothing. Measured across all 424 repositories: 170 had gitleaks, 73 had gitleaks plus a leftover trufflehog step, 33 had trufflehog only, and 88 — this one among them — had nothing at all. Adds a caller of the estate's shared secret-scanner reusable, which runs gitleaks over the whole working tree with --no-git and exits non-zero on a finding, alongside its rust-secrets and shell-secrets jobs. Two details that would fail silently if left out: - `secrets: inherit` is REQUIRED. Without it the gitleaks action's inner secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN is empty and the scan degrades quietly — passing while checking less, which is the failure this campaign exists to remove. - Where an actions.lock exists it gains a hand-authored [] entry for this file. gh actions-lock SKIPS reusable-workflow callers, so without it the workflow is rejected as startup_failure with no log and no check run. Expect findings. A first run on a repository that has never been scanned may surface real secrets, and any it finds have been exposed for as long as they have been committed. Treat a red first run as information, not as a fault in this change — and rotate anything it names rather than only deleting it. The sweep re-verified from this checkout that no scanner already existed before writing, rather than trusting the audit that selected the repo.
