🛡️ Sentinel: Security Fix - Command Injection

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: Direct expansion of untrusted GitHub context variables (github.head_ref, github.event.pull_request.body, github.event.pull_request.user.login) in run steps.
🎯 Impact: Malicious actors could craft pull requests with specially formatted bodies or branch names to execute arbitrary commands within the GitHub Actions runner environment.
🔧 Fix: Properly mapped untrusted context variables to environment variables before using them in shell scripts.
Verification: Verified YAML syntax validity with check_workflows.py.

Documentation of this pattern has been added to .Jules/sentinel.md.

Map untrusted GitHub context variables to environment variables to prevent command injection in:
- enforce-branch-naming.yml
- pr-description-quality-enforcer.yml
- update-contributors-from-prs.yml

Also added .Jules/sentinel.md to document the vulnerability pattern.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.
