ci(scorecard-enforcer): split score-threshold from publish job (OSSF run-step ban) (#151)
## Summary This repo's `scorecard-enforcer.yml` has the OSSF publish-contract violation that hyperpolymath/standards#304 fixed in the canonical template. Every Scorecard run fails with: ``` webapp: scorecard job must only have steps with uses ``` ## Root cause OSSF's publish endpoint enforces a hard contract: the job that runs `ossf/scorecard-action` with `publish_results: true` must contain ONLY `uses:` steps. The pre-fix template's "Check minimum score" `run:` step in the same job fails the publish step and the whole workflow run. ## Fix Replace local file with the post-#304 standards template: - `scorecard` job: uses-only (now includes `upload-artifact` for SARIF hand-off) - `check-score` job: `needs: scorecard`, downloads artifact, runs the threshold gate ## Detection going forward Hypatia rule WF014 in hyperpolymath/hypatia#393 catches this pattern. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# `scorecard` and consumes the SARIF artifact. The `scorecard` job stays
33+
# uses-only; `check-score` is the gating job that emits the error.
