fix(gh-aw): restore public installability after #1977

+/**
+ * gh-aw Security-Scan Installability Gate (#1977 regression)
+ *
+ * `gh aw compile --strict` does NOT run gh-aw's markdown security scanner, but
+ * `gh aw add` — the public bootstrap path every consumer uses — does. That gap
+ * let #1977 merge green and still ship a `dev` that no one could install:
+ *
+ *   workflows/squad.md:1438:1: error: [social-engineering] contains prompt
+ *   injection pattern (attempts to override AI agent instructions)
+ *
+ * The offending line was legitimate safety prose about distrusting fetched web
+ * content, but it quoted a canonical adversarial phrase verbatim, so the
+ * scanner could not tell the guidance from the attack.
+ *
+ * This gate runs the REAL scanner (not a handwritten phrase blocklist, which
+ * would drift from gh-aw's ruleset) over every Markdown file this repo
+ * distributes under `workflows/`. It is offline, needs no GitHub round-trip,
+ * and completes in seconds.
+ *
+ * Scope: the scan verdict only. Import resolution, frontmatter, and strict
+ * compilation are already gated by the other gh-aw suites, so failures from
+ * those later phases are deliberately ignored here.
+ *
+ * Fails closed (never skips) per this repo's #1833/#1834 convention: an
+ * unmeasured contract is indistinguishable from a violated one.
