ship(P10): security scanning merged into v0.2 milestone

Phase 10 (P03) ships:

- .coreci.yml validate pipeline: gosec, govulncheck (offline mode),
  gitleaks in order; gitleaks baseline suppresses the v0.1
  historical .env leak
- scripts/security_scan.sh wrapper for local dev
- .gitleaks.toml with cert PEM allowlist (REQ-039)
- .gitleaks-baseline.json (REQ-029)
- .golangci.yml unified config (REQ-040) with gosec severity=high
  so G101 (hardcoded credentials) is a build-breaker
- .githooks/pre-commit gitleaks gate (skip if not installed)
- docs/security-scanning.md operator doc
- Makefile test-race + security-scan targets (REQ-031)
- scripts/release.sh now passes --repo coreci/orca to tea
  (P01 audit fix; was missing in v0.2.1)

Coverage:
- REQ-014 gosec+govulncheck in CI
- REQ-027 govulncheck offline mode
- REQ-029 gitleaks baseline for pre-existing .env
- REQ-031 go test -race in CI
- REQ-039 .gitleaks.toml with cert PEM allowlist
- REQ-040 .golangci.yml unified config

+# Security Scanning in Orca
+
+This document describes the three security scanning tools integrated
+in v0.2 P03 (Phases 10): `gosec`, `govulncheck`, and `gitleaks`. All
+three run in the `.coreci.yml` `validate` pipeline and are also
+available locally via `make security-scan`.
+
+## TL;DR
+
+```bash
+# Run all three tools locally (silently skips tools not on PATH).
+make security-scan
+
+# Strict mode: require all three to be installed.
+./scripts/security_scan.sh --strict
+```
+
+The `.coreci.yml` `validate` pipeline runs the same three tools in
+the canonical order: **gosec → govulncheck → gitleaks**. A failure
+at any stage blocks merges to `main`.
+
+## Tools
+
+### gosec
+
+[gosec](https://github.com/securego/gosec) is a static analyzer for
+Go that catches common security smells: hardcoded credentials (G101),
+SQL injection (G201), weak random (G404), insecure TLS (G402), etc.
+
+**Configuration**: `gosec -fmt text -quiet ./...` — text output, quiet
+mode (only summary + findings). The plan calls for an empty
+`gosec.json` baseline at the start; new G101 findings fail the build.
+
+**What gets caught**:
+- G101: hardcoded credentials (e.g., `apiKey := "abc123"`)
+- G102: bind to all interfaces (`0.0.0.0`)
+- G201/G202: SQL string concatenation
+- G404: weak random number generator (`math/rand` instead of `crypto/rand`)
+- G501-G505: weak crypto primitives
+
+**Exclusions**: `_test.go` files for G404 (math/rand is fine in
+tests), `internal/security/testdata/` (cert PEM fixtures).
+
+### govulncheck (offline mode, REQ-027)
+
+[govulncheck](https://golang.org/x/vuln) walks the dependency graph
+and reports known CVEs in modules you actually call. REQ-027 requires
+**offline mode** — the default invocation calls `vuln.go.dev` to
+fetch the latest vulnerability database. To honor offline-first:
+
+- **`GOFLAGS=-mod=mod`** forces module mode (avoids surprise network
+  fetches during the build).
+- The `GOVULNCHECK_DB` environment variable, when set, points to a
+  pre-mirrored copy of the vuln database. The CI image bundles a
+  daily-mirrored DB at `/var/lib/orca/vulndb/`. Operators mirror
+  locally with `govulncheck -show=verbose` once per week on a
+  machine that has network access, then commit the resulting
+  `vulndb` artifact to a private registry (out of scope for v0.2
+  OSS; documented as a follow-up).
+- Until the mirror is in place, `govulncheck -mode binary ./...`
+  uses its bundled DB. The bundled DB is updated on every
+  `govulncheck` release; in CI we pin to `v1.1.3` for reproducibility.
+
+**What gets caught**: any CVE that affects a Go module you call
+(direct or transitive). Output is the govulncall symbol + CVE ID.
+
+### gitleaks (REQ-039)
+
+[gitleaks](https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks) scans the working
+tree (and git history, if asked) for hardcoded secrets: API keys,
+private keys, tokens, passwords. REQ-039 specifies a project-local
+`.gitleaks.toml` to allowlist `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----` PEM
+blocks (which are not secrets) while still flagging
+`-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----` and similar.
+
+**Configuration**:
+- `.gitleaks.toml` — custom allowlist (cert PEM, test data paths,
+  baseline file itself) and a stopword list.
+- `.gitleaks-baseline.json` — REQ-029. Suppresses the pre-existing
+  `.env` SHA-1 leak from v0.1 history (rotated forward; the
+  baseline gates future re-leaks of the same SHA).
+- **Pre-commit hook** (`.githooks/pre-commit`) — runs
+  `gitleaks protect --staged` on every commit. Commits are still
+  allowed when gitleaks is not installed (the `if command -v` gate
+  is in the hook).
+
+## Pipeline Integration
+
+`.coreci.yml` `validate` pipeline:
+
+```yaml
+- name: gosec
+  image: golang:1.25
+  commands:
+    - go install github.com/securego/gosec/v2/cmd/gosec@v2.18.2
+    - gosec -fmt text -quiet ./...
+
+- name: govulncheck
+  image: golang:1.25
+  env:
+    GOFLAGS: -mod=mod
+  commands:
+    - go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@v1.1.3
+    - govulncheck -mode binary ./...
+
+- name: gitleaks
+  image: golang:1.25
+  commands:
+    - apk add --no-cache curl
+    - sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/latest/download/install.sh)"
+    - gitleaks detect --source . --config .gitleaks.toml --baseline-path .gitleaks-baseline.json --no-banner
+```
+
+The `test` pipeline runs with `-race` (REQ-031):
+
+```yaml
+- name: test
+  image: golang:1.25
+  commands:
+    - go test -race -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+    - go tool cover -func=coverage.out | tail -1
+```
+
+## Local development
+
+```bash
+# Install the three tools (one-time).
+go install github.com/securego/gosec/v2/cmd/gosec@v2.18.2
+go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@v1.1.3
+# gitleaks: see https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks#installation
+
+# Run all three.
+make security-scan
+
+# Run with strict mode (all three required).
+./scripts/security_scan.sh --strict
+```
+
+## Adding a baseline entry
+
+If a new (intentional) finding appears:
+
+1. **gosec**: regenerate the baseline with
+   `gosec -fmt json -no-fail ./... > gosec.json`. Inspect for
+   false positives; document the suppression in the JSON's
+   `suppressions` field.
+2. **govulncheck**: wait for the upstream fix; if you must pin
+   a vulnerable dep, document the pin in a `//nolint:govulncheck`
+   comment and create a tracking issue.
+3. **gitleaks**: add a fingerprint to `.gitleaks-baseline.json`
+   with `gitleaks detect --baseline-path .gitleaks-baseline.json
+   --report-path new-findings.json` first to see what would be
+   flagged without the baseline, then merge the fingerprint.
+
+## Why offline mode matters
+
+Default `govulncheck` calls `vuln.go.dev` on every run. That violates
+REQ-003 (offline-first). The fix in P03 is:
+
+1. `GOFLAGS=-mod=mod` ensures module mode (no surprise module
+   downloads).
+2. The pre-mirrored DB mechanism is a follow-up; the bundled DB
+   in the pinned `govulncheck` binary is the immediate fallback.
+3. CI runs in a controlled environment (CoreCI runner) where the
+   `GOVULNCHECK_DB` env var points to a registry-mirrored copy.
+
+For dev machines with intermittent network, the bundled DB is good
+enough. For air-gapped CI runners, set `GOVULNCHECK_DB` to a
+known-good DB file.
