Add IaC security scanning gate that runs tfsec and checkov against all Terraform changes on pull requests and pushes to main. - .github/workflows/terraform-scan.yml: CI workflow with two parallel jobs running tfsec and checkov against infrastructure/terraform/ directory - infrastructure/terraform/.tfsec.yml: tfsec config enforcing HIGH minimum severity Closes VertexChainLabs#166
- tfsec: change format from 'table' to 'text' (table is not a valid format for aquasecurity/tfsec-action) - checkov: add .checkov.baseline to acknowledge 85 pre-existing findings so CI only fails on new regressions - Workflow: add baseline and quiet params to checkov step
…ive on ALB - Fix checkov baseline path to be relative to workspace root (infrastructure/terraform/.checkov.baseline) instead of scan dir - Add tfsec:ignore for aws-ec2-no-public-ingress-sgr on ALB security group — ALB must accept public HTTP(S) traffic by design

Description
Adds an IaC security scanning gate to CI by running tfsec and checkov against all Terraform changes on pull requests and pushes to main.
Problem
No IaC security gate exists for Terraform changes. A misconfigured S3 bucket or public RDS is a P0 incident waiting to happen.
Changes

Fails on any FAILED evaluation.infrastructure/terraform/.tfsec.yml— tfsec configuration enforcingminimum_severity: HIGH, so only HIGH and CRITICAL issues gate the pipeline.Triggers
