docs: add SECURITY.md (threat model + hardening posture)#61
Merged
Conversation
Documents Quill's security posture for a reviewing engineer: the threat model (deep link as the one attacker-influenced entry point; deserialized data trusted more than rendered data), the four merged hardening measures (#57 path confinement + deep-link validation, #58 annotation sanitization, #59 URL scheme allowlists, #60 binary-resolution hardening), and the two deliberate non-fixes left in place with rationale (asset-protocol $HOME/** scope, remote-image beacon).
