Walkthrough

This PR introduces automated security scanning and dependency vulnerability management by adding a WhiteSource (Mend) configuration file. The setup enables continuous monitoring of project dependencies for security vulnerabilities, with check runs configured to fail when vulnerable dependencies are detected. The configuration uses diff display mode for clear visibility of changes and sets up issue reporting for dependencies with a minimum severity threshold of LOW, ensuring comprehensive security coverage. Mend branding is enabled in check names for clear identification of security scan results.
