refactor: safe PHP 7.4 modernization

[somethingwithproof]

This PR adds strict typing, short array syntax, and null coalescing operators across the plugin. Standalone infrastructure files were removed per architectural mandate.

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR modernizes the WebSeer plugin’s PHP code style (strict typing + short arrays) and adds initial security hardening scaffolding (audit docs, URL validator, tests, and CI config).

Changes:

• Add declare(strict_types=1); across plugin entrypoints and supporting files, and refactor many array() usages to [] (including prepared-statement parameter arrays).
• Introduce security documentation and a new UrlValidator seam plus a new security-focused test file.
• Add CI/static-analysis config (GitHub Actions, PHPUnit config, PHPStan config, Infection config).

Converted to draft to serialize the stack in this repo. Blocked by #65; will un-draft after that merges to avoid cross-PR merge conflicts.

Closing in favor of #65, which carries the PHP 7.4 idiom work for these files without the overlap. This branch also picked up build artifacts that shouldn't ship (.omc/state, BACKLOG.md, SECURITY-AUDIT.md, infection.json), and its src/Security/UrlValidator.php isn't wired into any call path. Consolidating the webseer hardening into fewer PRs so review isn't split across seven branches.
