fix(ci): drop the leftover trufflehog step — the estate retired it for gitleaks (#32)
`quality.yml` carries a **trufflehog** step that the estate already decided against. The standards secret-scanner reusable records the ruling in its own header: > *"Rationale for gitleaks over trufflehog: … Trufflehog was removed as redundant; gitleaks catches what we need"* > *"Trufflehog removed: gitleaks provides sufficient coverage at lower cost."* So this is **not a coverage trade-off**. It is a straggler from before that decision — usually carrying `continue-on-error: true`, so it sits inside a check it cannot fail, duplicating a scanner that was deliberately dropped. ## Removing it loses nothing This repo keeps gitleaks-backed scanning, and the sweep **re-verified that from this checkout** before touching anything. Repos where trufflehog is the *only* leak scanner were deliberately excluded — **33 of them estate-wide** — because they need gitleaks **added**, which is a different change and must not be disguised as this one. Gitleaks is also the stronger scan here: it runs over the whole working tree with `--no-git` and exits non-zero on a finding, whereas this step scanned `base..head`. **A diff is narrower than the tree.** ## Estate coverage, measured Across 364 repositories with workflows (60 more have none at all): | | count | | |---|---:|---| | gitleaks only | 170 (47%) | correct | | trufflehog **and** gitleaks | 73 (20%) | this PR's category — straggler removal | | **trufflehog only** | **33 (9%)** | **must gain gitleaks first — excluded here** | | **neither** | **88 (24%)** | **no leak scanning at all** | ## A note on the lockfile edit The `actions.lock` entry is removed by **indentation-aware traversal**, not a line filter. A line filter deletes the dependency key but leaves its four indented children, which YAML then attaches to the **preceding** dependency. The file still parses as valid YAML — the only symptom is every lockfile-checked gate failing `startup_failure` with no explanation. That happened once already in this campaign, on three repos at once, and is why this sweep asserts every remaining dependency still carries its own `commit` field before committing.
