Add audit artifacts, CI, templates, and docs

Implements audit recommendations: add GitHub trust files and templates (SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODEOWNERS, issue templates, PR template, repository About guidance), CI workflows (tests, code-quality, build), composer quality scripts and phpstan config, and documentation improvements. Also adds IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST, ISSUES_TO_SEED, AUDIT_COMPLETION_REPORT, screenshot guide/placeholders, comparison pages, and metadata updates across many docs; updates README and CHANGELOG to reflect restructuring and version/copyright consistency (Laravel 13, Filament 5, Livewire 4, PHP 8.3). Misc: phpstan.neon.dist added and minor public JS/doc edits included to complete the audit implementation work.
