Andrew AymelogluandClaude Fable 5 fd106c6fa6 ci(commitperclip): remove the security gate that filed a draft advisory per PR (#11828)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip's `commitperclip-review` workflow runs
`check-pr-security.mjs` on every PR and files a **draft security
advisory** whenever one of its heuristics fires (#6469).
> - The heuristics fire on most ordinary PRs: any change under
`server/src/routes/agents.ts` / `companies.ts` / `approvals.ts` /
`authz.ts` / `MarkdownBody.tsx`, any test file containing `fetch(` /
`exec(` / `process.env.X`, any `key: "<20+ chars>"` string (it flagged
`pluginKey: "paperclipai.plugin-llm-wiki"`), any touch of
`.github/workflows/`.
> - The repository now holds **1,566 commitperclip-authored draft
advisories** against ~99 human-reported ones, burying the reports that
matter under the 🔒 Security tab.
> - Nothing consumes them: no code reads the drafts, nothing reads the
`security-review` check run the script also posts, and `master` has no
required status checks. The "Review and dismiss if not a real concern"
footer assumed a human triage loop that never existed.
> - A second bug made it worse: the advisories endpoint is
cursor-paginated and ignores `page=`, so `findExistingDraftAdvisory`
only ever saw the newest 100 drafts and re-flagged PRs got a second
draft (1,566 drafts for 1,386 distinct PRs; 136 PRs have 2+).
> - Removing the gate stops the flood at the source; the quality gates
and Dependency Review carry on unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem:** `check-pr-security.mjs` files a draft security advisory for
nearly every PR, flooding the repository's advisory list with
bot-authored noise that no one reads. Human-reported advisories in
`triage` state are buried among ~1,560 `🚨 Security flag — PR #NNNN`
drafts.

**Expected:** the advisory list contains only real vulnerability
reports. Heuristic PR checks, if wanted at all, do not create disclosure
records.

## What Changed

- Deleted `.github/scripts/check-pr-security.mjs` and
`.github/scripts/tests/check-pr-security.test.mjs`.
- Removed the `Run security gates` step from
`.github/workflows/commitperclip-review.yml`, and the `security-events:
write` permission that only it used.
- No other script imports from the removed module (`resolveBaseRef`
lives in `check-pr-dependencies.mjs` and stays).

## Verification

- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs` → 114 pass, 0 fail.
- `grep -rn check-pr-security .github` → no remaining references.
- The 1,563 existing bot drafts are being closed out-of-band via the API
(there is no delete endpoint for advisories).

## Risks

- Low. The only behaviour removed is the draft-advisory filing and the
informational `security-review` check run, neither of which is consumed
by code or branch protection.
- Recommended follow-up for an org admin: drop `security_advisories:
write` from the commitperclip App's permissions so no workflow can
recreate this.
