feat: Wire Gitleaks scanner into pipeline and rewrite README

- Wire GitleaksScanner into hybrid_analyzer.py (init param, scanner
  initialization, status dict) — was configured in config_loader but
  never instantiated by the orchestrator
- Add --enable-gitleaks CLI arg and ENABLE_GITLEAKS env var resolution
  in hybrid/cli.py
- Rewrite README based on patterns from top security repos (Trivy,
  Nuclei, TruffleHog, Bearer):
  - Fix false claim of "5 scanners" (was actually 4, now truly 5)
  - Fix "all features wired into both orchestrators" (only hybrid has
    full enrichment)
  - Add separate Scanners section with core vs optional DAST table
  - Add tree-style Phase 1-6 diagram showing all components
  - Add Audited Projects section (kimi-cli, chrome-devtools-mcp,
    juice-shop, DVWA)
  - Split Performance table into Fast vs Full mode
  - Add IRIS, Collaborative Reasoning, Nuclei, ZAP to feature tables
  - Use collapsible sections for Docker-in-Docker and Action examples
  - Problem/solution framing inspired by Nuclei's approach
- Update CLAUDE.md Phase 1 scanner list to include Gitleaks

-## What is Argus?
+## The Problem
 
-Argus runs a **6-phase security pipeline** that combines traditional scanners with Claude AI-powered triage, achieving **60-70% false positive reduction** and **+15-20% more findings** via heuristic-based discovery.
+Traditional security scanners generate hundreds of findings. Most are noise. Teams waste hours triaging, miss real issues buried in false positives, and get zero actionable remediation guidance.
 
-| Challenge | Argus Solution |
-|-----------|----------------|
-| Too many false positives | 60-70% reduction via AI triage + noise scoring |
-| Scanners miss real issues | +15-20% findings via heuristic pattern matching |
-| Manual triage takes hours | Automated multi-agent analysis with 5 AI personas |
-| No actionable next steps | AI-generated fix suggestions + compliance mapping |
+## How Argus Solves It
+
+Argus runs **5 scanners in parallel**, then passes findings through **AI-powered triage** with **5 specialized agent personas** that debate severity, filter false positives, and generate fix suggestions.
+
+| Before Argus | After Argus |
+|--------------|-------------|
+| 500+ raw findings, mostly noise | 60-70% false positive reduction |
+| Scanners miss logic bugs | +15-20% more findings via heuristic + AI discovery |
+| Manual triage takes hours | Automated multi-agent analysis in minutes |
+| No fix guidance | AI-generated remediation + compliance mapping |
+| Point-in-time scans | Persistent findings store with regression detection |

 ### Deployment-Triggered Scanning
 
-Argus includes two GitHub Actions workflows for continuous security:
+- **Post-Deploy Scan** (`.github/workflows/post-deploy-scan.yml`) — Triggers on successful deployments. Runs diff-scoped SAST + DAST against the deployment URL.
+- **Retest After Fix** (`.github/workflows/argus-retest.yml`) — Triggers when `argus/fix-*` branches merge. Re-scans to verify fixes hold, updates FindingsStore, posts results as PR comments.
