chore(bestpractices): uplift to Met across the passing tier (#18)

Author the missing documentation and infrastructure so .bestpractices.json
reaches 64 Met / 3 N/A / 0 Unmet (was 58 / 6 / 3) without aspirational
answers. Justifications carry a URL only for the eight criteria where
the upstream criteria.yml sets met_url_required (contribution,
contribution_requirements, license_location, release_notes,
report_process, report_archive, vulnerability_report_process,
vulnerability_report_private); every other justification is prose only.

New documentation:
- CONTRIBUTING.md — bug-report process, PR conventions, coding
  standards table, static + dynamic analysis gates, license note.
- SECURITY.md — supported-version matrix, vulnerability reporting
  channels (GitHub private advisory + email fallback), what to
  include, response-time commitments, scope, security architecture
  reference, credit policy.

Release notes uplift:
- .github/workflows/release.yml now parses Conventional Commit
  prefixes (feat/fix/perf/refactor/docs/test/ci/build/chore) and
  groups them into human-readable categorised sections, replacing
  the raw `git log` dump. Anything that doesn't match a known
  prefix lands in an 'Other' section so nothing is silently
  dropped. Verified locally against the v0.1.10..v0.1.15 range.

Dynamic analysis:
- ci.yml + release.yml: `go test` now runs with `-race`, Go's
  runtime data-race detector. The race detector immediately
  surfaced a real test-side race in cmd/logs_extra_test.go:
  TestTailLog_DrainsThenExitsOnContextCancel's goroutine still
  had withFlags' deferred restore in flight when the test returned,
  racing the next test's withFlags read. Fixed by gating the test
  exit on a sync.WaitGroup so the goroutine fully completes before
  the test function returns. Full -race suite passes (918 tests,
  27 packages, ~0 races).
