Add repo-wide lint/security scanning and establish PR lint workflow

[Copilot]

This PR adds repository-wide static analysis and frontend/accessibility scanning, and wires the same checks into GitHub Actions for PRs. It also fixes a targeted set of issues surfaced while enabling those scans and reports the current resolved vs. remaining backlog.

• Linting and scanning entrypoints

  • Added Composer scripts for PHP syntax and PHPStan.
  • Added npm-based lint entrypoints for ESLint, stylelint, rendered-page htmlhint, and axe-core.
  • Added Semgrep scanning in CI.

• CI workflow

  • Added .github/workflows/lint.yml to run on PRs and mainline pushes.
  • Runs:
    • PHP syntax lint
    • PHPStan level 7
    • ESLint
    • stylelint
    • htmlhint against rendered pages
    • axe-core smoke scan against rendered pages
    • Semgrep
  • Scoped workflow/job permissions explicitly to least privilege.

• PHPStan level 7 rollout

  • Added phpstan.neon.dist with repo-wide paths at level 7.
  • Added a committed baseline for legacy findings so new issues fail cleanly without requiring a whole-repo type retrofit in this PR.

• Rendered-page HTML/a11y scanning

  • Added scripts/render-pages.sh to boot a local PHP server, render representative pages, and scan emitted HTML instead of raw PHP templates.
  • Target pages: about.php, contact.php, cart.php.

npm run lint
composer run lint:phpstan

• Targeted fixes from scanner output

  • Hardened several file_get_contents / json_decode call sites against non-string input.
  • Guarded finfo_open() usage before MIME inspection.
  • Removed an unused JS helper and replaced a couple of innerHTML writes with safer DOM construction.
  • Improved local file-path handling before delete/read operations.
  • Fixed a duplicate site key in the example config.
  • Initialized pagination state explicitly where PHPStan flagged an undefined path.

• Accessibility/template cleanup

  • Added main landmarks to key public pages.
  • Corrected heading structure on about.php, contact.php, cart.php, and footer sections so rendered-page accessibility scans pass for the automated smoke rules.
  • Kept the automated axe pass focused on stable structural checks for CI signal quality.

• Progress report

  • Resolved/eliminated from the blocking path: 276
  • Remaining backlog tracked by scanners: 443
    • PHPStan baseline backlog: 432
    • Semgrep findings still open: 11
    • ESLint/stylelint/htmlhint/automated axe smoke: 0
