Zamil Majdy 613978a611 ci: add gitleaks secret scanning to pre-commit hooks (#12649)
### Why / What / How

**Why:** We had no local pre-commit protection against accidentally
committing secrets. The existing `detect-secrets` hook only ran on
`pre-push`, which is too late — secrets are already in git history by
that point. GitHub's push protection only covers known provider patterns
and runs server-side.

**What:** Adds a 3-layer defense against secret leaks: local pre-commit
hooks (gitleaks + detect-secrets), and a CI workflow as a safety net.

**How:** 
- Moved `detect-secrets` from `pre-push` to `pre-commit` stage
- Added `gitleaks` as a second pre-commit hook (Go binary, faster and
more comprehensive rule set)
- Added `.gitleaks.toml` config with allowlists for known false
positives (test fixtures, dev docker JWTs, Firebase public keys, lock
files, docs examples)
- Added `repo-secret-scan.yml` CI workflow using `gitleaks-action` on
PRs/pushes to master/dev

### Changes 🏗️

- `.pre-commit-config.yaml`: Moved `detect-secrets` to pre-commit stage,
added baseline arg, added `gitleaks` hook
- `.gitleaks.toml`: New config with tuned allowlists for this repo's
false positives
- `.secrets.baseline`: Empty baseline for detect-secrets to track known
findings
- `.github/workflows/repo-secret-scan.yml`: New CI workflow running
gitleaks on every PR and push

### Checklist 📋

#### For code changes:
- [x] I have clearly listed my changes in the PR description
- [x] I have made a test plan
- [x] I have tested my changes according to the test plan:
- [x] Ran `gitleaks detect --no-git` against the full repo — only `.env`
files (gitignored) remain as findings
  - [x] Verified gitleaks catches a test secret file correctly
- [x] Pre-commit hooks pass on commit (both detect-secrets and gitleaks
passed)

#### For configuration changes:

- [x] `.env.default` is updated or already compatible with my changes
- [x] `docker-compose.yml` is updated or already compatible with my
changes
- [x] I have included a list of my configuration changes in the PR
