ci: add Semgrep scanning and Dependabot version updates

[userAugustos]

Summary

Adds Semgrep static analysis and Dependabot version updates. Semgrep runs on pushes to main, pull requests, and weekly. Findings upload as SARIF to the Code scanning tab next to CodeQL. Dependabot opens weekly PRs for dependency and GitHub Actions updates, with minor and patch bumps grouped.

Test

• Semgrep workflow runs green on this PR.
• After merge, the Semgrep tool appears under Security > Code scanning.
• Dependabot opens its first version update PRs within a week.

Review Focus

• Semgrep rule packs: are the selected registries the right set?
• Weekly cadence and grouping for Dependabot.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds weekly Dependabot updates for uv and GitHub Actions. It also hardens the Semgrep workflow by pinning external references, adding actions: read permission, and allowing scans to complete when findings exist.

Changes

Repository automation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dependency update configuration .github/dependabot.yml	Dependabot checks the uv and github-actions ecosystems weekly. The configuration adds a seven-day cooldown and groups minor and patch uv updates.
Security scanning workflow .github/workflows/semgrep.yml	The workflow pins the Semgrep container, actions/checkout, and github/codeql-action/upload-sarif to immutable references. It adds actions: read permission and removes --error, so findings do not fail the scan.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ce9e9

This change adds weekly dependency-update automation and non-blocking Semgrep SARIF reporting with pinned workflow dependencies. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.
