ci(audit): H-5 — pip-audit gate + Snyk fail-mode (#102)

* ci(audit): H-5 — pip-audit gate + Snyk fail-mode (no more silent vuln pass)

Audit H-5 (`tasks/compliance-audit-2026-04-25.md`):
- snyk-security.yml had `|| true` on both `snyk code test` and
  `snyk test` so HIGH/CRITICAL CVE findings shipped silently.
- No `pip-audit` CI step existed; SCA only ran when SNYK_TOKEN was
  set as a repo secret. The branch where SNYK_TOKEN is unset
  (e.g., forks, low-budget repos) had zero supply-chain coverage.

GOV-009 §"Vulnerability Response" mandates HIGH/CRITICAL CVEs be
patched within 48h. The 48h SLO requires an alarm to start the
clock; this PR provides one for both Snyk-token and no-token paths.

Changes:

1. `.github/workflows/snyk-security.yml`
   - Drop `|| true` on both Snyk steps. Real findings now fail.
   - Add `--severity-threshold=high` so MEDIUM stays advisory and
     only HIGH/CRITICAL block (matches GOV-009's threshold).
   - Switch `snyk code test --sarif > snyk-code.sarif` to
     `--sarif-file-output=snyk-code.sarif` so SARIF is still emitted
     when the test fails — needed for the subsequent SARIF upload
     step to publish findings even when CI is red.

2. `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
   - New `pip-audit` job that runs on every PR. Token-free, uses
     OSV vulnerability service, fails non-zero on any reported vuln.
     Fast (under 30s) and complements Snyk for the no-token path.
     Inline comment documents how to add `--ignore-vuln=GHSA-...`
     for accepted-risk exclusions per GOV-009.

This closes audit H-5. Master CI now has a gate that maps to
GOV-009 + GOV-011 §"Testing Phase" + FedRAMP SA-12, SI-2, SR-3.

* ci: register GOV-009 in controls.yaml + ignore pip-itself CVE-2026-3219

Two follow-ups to the H-5 PR after CI surfaced concrete issues:

1. test_no_phantom_controls_in_ci.py failed because the GOV-009
   reference in ci.yml's pip-audit step had no corresponding entry
   in governance/controls.yaml. Spec-drift check correctly caught
   the orphan reference. Added the GOV-009 control with three
   rules — pip-audit, Snyk SCA, Snyk SAST — each linked to the
   exact CI step name and tool string. Closes the spec-drift gap.

2. pip-audit found CVE-2026-3219 in `pip 26.0.1` itself (the
   package manager). This isn't a ZettelForge dependency that we
   can pin or upgrade — pip is shipped by GitHub's setup-python
   image. Risk-accepted with --ignore-vuln=CVE-2026-3219 plus an
   inline citation explaining the surface (install-time, not
   runtime; ephemeral runners; re-evaluate when GitHub patches
   the image). Matches the GOV-009 risk-acceptance pattern the
   workflow comment already documents.

test_governance_spec_drift.py passes locally with these changes.
