Full-repository scans currently leave the Actions step green even when CodeAnt returns a failed quality-gate verdict, because the action never enables the scanner's enforcement flag.

Add quality_gate: 'true' to forward the existing --quality-gate flag and propagate the scanner's exit status. The default is 'false', preserving scan-only workflows. Invalid input values fail before analysis starts. Native JSON/SARIF/JUnit reports are still written before a failed verdict exits, so callers can upload them with if: always().

Validation:

• Five action contract tests passed, covering defaults, explicit true/false, argument preservation, invalid input, and scanner exit-code propagation.
• Exercised all composite steps with the currently deployed CodeAnt scan script against a local HTTP fixture: failed verdict in report-only mode, failed/passed verdicts with enforcement, results timeout, and authentication error. All behaved as expected; reports remained available after a failed verdict.
• Live report-only run returned 48 findings and a native FAILED verdict while the scan step succeeded: https://github.com/codeanttesting/codeant-demo/actions/runs/42309878084
• Live enforcing run failed the scan step, uploaded reports, and skipped deployment: https://github.com/codeanttesting/codeant-demo/actions/runs/42310207026
• GitHub Actions test run passed: https://github.com/CodeAnt-AI/codeant-ci-scan-action/actions/runs/42309804307

The input enforces the backend verdict. It does not add a full-code secrets metric or change backend condition evaluation. README examples pin the implementation revision because v0.0.5 does not contain this input; a new release is needed for a versioned tag.
