chore: add anti-slop protection for AI-generated spam PRs (#642)

* chore: add anti-slop protection for AI-generated spam PRs

- Install peakoss/anti-slop GitHub Action with user signal checks
  (account age, profile completeness, merge history), honeypot trap,
  file protection, and conventional title enforcement
- Add AI contributions policy to CONTRIBUTING.md
- Add honeypot instruction to PR template for catching AI agents

Closes #641

* fix: address code review findings for anti-slop workflow

- Pin `peakoss/anti-slop` to full commit SHA (85daca18) for supply-chain
  safety since workflow uses `pull_request_target` with write permissions
- Add `edited` and `synchronize` triggers so checks re-run on PR updates

+## AI Contributions Policy
+
+We welcome contributions from developers who use AI tools as part of their workflow. However, we require that all contributions reflect genuine understanding and effort from the contributor.
+
+### What we expect
+
+- **Review what you submit.** Whether you wrote it by hand or with AI, you should be able to explain your changes if asked.
+- **Keep PR descriptions in your own words.** Short and focused beats long and generated.
+- **No drive-by agent PRs.** Autonomous agents opening PRs without human review will be closed automatically.
+
+### What's totally fine
+
+- Using Copilot, Claude, or any AI tool as part of your workflow
+- AI-assisted refactoring, test generation, or boilerplate
+- Asking an LLM to help you understand the codebase before contributing
