ci: sync with netresearch/.github templates/skill

[CybotTM]

Merging this brings the repository in line with two template changes in netresearch/.github, and nothing else.

• netresearch/.github#451 — the secret scan is named after betterleaks, the tool it has run since netresearch/.github#112. The check reports as betterleaks / Secret Scanning instead of gitleaks / Secret Scanning, and the reusable is called as betterleaks.yml.
• netresearch/.github#452 — the dependency auto-merge passes the organisation App's two secrets, so a merge can be made with an App token and the merge commit gets a CI run. Until the App is granted Contents and Pull requests write access the merge falls back to GITHUB_TOKEN, as today, with a warning.

Where branch protection requires gitleaks / Secret Scanning, the requirement is swapped to betterleaks / Secret Scanning when this pull request is merged.

The file list was checked mechanically against the two changes before this description was written; any other file would have stopped the rollout for this repository.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The auto-merge workflow now passes the project merge app ID and private key to its reusable workflow. The security workflow renames the secret-scanning job from gitleaks to betterleaks and updates the reusable workflow reference. Its explanatory comment now identifies betterleaks as open-source software that needs no license.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2d5b8

Pin the reusable auto-merge workflow to a reviewed commit before granting it access to the project app private key.
