chore(ci): add zizmor workflow for github actions security analysis (#471)

Adds [zizmor](https://github.com/zizmorcore/zizmor) to audit GitHub
Actions workflows for security issues. Runs on push to main and on PRs
that change `.github/workflows/**`. Fails CI on any finding.

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Mostly CI/workflow hardening, but it also changes release automation
(`postversion.sh`) and workflow permissions/credentials behavior, which
could break tagging/publishing if misconfigured.
> 
> **Overview**
> Adds a new `zizmor` workflow that runs on PRs/pushes touching
`.github/workflows/**` to security-audit workflows.
> 
> Hardens existing workflows by defaulting to least-privilege
`permissions`, setting `actions/checkout` to `persist-credentials:
false`, and adjusting related behavior (e.g., `scripts/postversion.sh`
now runs `gh auth setup-git` so `git push` still works; `ci.yml`
disables `mise-action` caching; `test.yml` avoids interpolating
`steps.bad.outcome` inside a shell string by passing it via env).
