Security tooling

In progress

Kaji Guard

Reusable DevSecOps security gate: runs Trivy and Gitleaks on every PR across frontend, backend, containers, and infrastructure, then posts a pass/fail findings summary. Repository is private; the case study below uses the same labeled-PR pattern as PR Version Bot.
