Kjell Tore Guttormsen c31d4b1718 feat(workflow-scanner): E11 part 1 — core file-walk + 23-field blacklist + sink-restriction
Adds a deterministic GitHub Actions / Forgejo Actions injection
scanner. Detects \${{ <dangerous-field> }} interpolations inside
\`run:\` step blocks under privileged or semi-privileged triggers.
Sink-restricted: \`if:\` / \`with:\` / \`env:\` (block-level) are
evaluated by the runner expression engine, not the shell, so they
are NOT injection sinks and are suppressed at parser level.

Why: workflow expression injection is the most prevalent SAST class
on GitHub (CodeQL preview: 800K+ findings across 158K repos). The
graduated severity matrix (HIGH for pull_request_target / discussion
/ workflow_run; MEDIUM for pull_request / workflow_dispatch) is the
community-converged calibration target — uniform HIGH causes alert
fatigue.

Components:
- scanners/lib/workflow-yaml-state.mjs — line-based YAML state
  machine. Tracks indentation, parent-context stack, and
  \`run: |\` / \`run: >\` block-scalar entry/exit. Zero deps.
- scanners/workflow-scanner.mjs — discoverWorkflows() probes
  .github/workflows/ and .forgejo/workflows/ directly (file-discovery
  has no glob include). 23-field blacklist (GHSL 17 + 6 GlueStack-
  class additions). Platform encoded via file path; no schema
  extension to finding(). Forgejo-specific: workflow_run advisory
  emitted to stderr; recommendation text mentions Forgejo's
  server-level token scoping (job-level permissions: is ignored).
- knowledge/workflow-injection-patterns.md — 23-field blacklist,
  trigger taxonomy, severity matrix, Forgejo divergences, NVD CVE
  corpus.

Tests (47 new):
- tests/lib/workflow-yaml-state.test.mjs (15): trigger forms
  (string / inline-list / block-list / block-mapping), single-line
  run, block-scalar | and > tracking, env/with sink-mismatch,
  multi-line, comment stripping, line-number accuracy.
- tests/scanners/workflow-scanner.test.mjs (14): TP head_ref
  pull_request_target, TP discussion.title gluestack pattern,
  TP comment.body pull_request, TP issue.body block-scalar,
  FP if-context, FP env-block, INFO numeric, Forgejo TP, Forgejo
  workflow_run advisory, envelope shape, WFL prefix.
- 9 fixtures in tests/fixtures/workflows/{.github,.forgejo}/workflows/.

Out of scope (B4 / Batch D):
- Re-interpolation detection (env.VAR after env: from blacklisted source)
- github.actor authorization-bypass category
- WFL prefix in severity.mjs OWASP maps + scan-orchestrator
  registration (B4)
- Composite-action input tracing, GITHUB_ENV poisoning (Batch D)

Test count: 1685 → 1732 (+47). Pre-compact-scan flake unchanged
(passes in isolation).

// workflow-yaml-state.mjs — Line-based YAML state machine for E11
// (workflow-scanner). Zero dependencies. Tracks indentation, parent
// context, and `run:` block-scalar entry/exit so the scanner can
// distinguish injection sinks (`run:`) from sink-mismatch contexts
// (`if:`, `env:`, `with:`).
//
// Why hand-roll instead of importing a YAML library:
// - Zero-dependency invariant (CLAUDE.md)
// - Workflows live in `.github/workflows/` and `.forgejo/workflows/`,
// have a constrained shape (top-level `on:`, `jobs:`, with each
// job a mapping of {steps, env, …}). A line-based state machine
// captures everything we need without a full YAML parser.
//
// Out of scope:
// - Anchors / aliases (treated as no-op; rarely used in workflows)
// - Multi-line flow scalars spanning lines via `... \n ...`
// - Full `${{ <expr> }}` AST (we extract substring text only)
