Scaffold StepForge: docs, license, audit, npm project

- Environment audit and stack decision in build/agent_audit.md
  (Node + Electron shell over dependency-free core; deviation recorded)
- Rewrite README/ARCHITECTURE/CONTRIBUTING for StepForge
- Add SECURITY.md threat model, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CHANGELOG.md, MPL-2.0
- Replace template grep checks with structural workflow check

+# Environment Audit
+
+Audit performed 2026-06-10 before stack selection, as required by the build
+specification in `prompt.md`.
+
+## Host
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| OS | Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 (Ubuntu userland, x86_64) |
+| Display | WSLg available (`DISPLAY=:0`, `WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0`) — GUI apps can run |
+| Shell | bash |
+
+## Toolchains
+
+| Toolchain | Present | Detail |
+|---|---|---|
+| Node.js | yes | v20.20.2 (`/usr/bin/node`) |
+| npm | yes | 10.8.2, cache at `~/.npm/_cacache` |
+| Rust / Cargo | **no** | not installed, no `~/.cargo/registry` cache |
+| .NET SDK | **no** | not installed |
+| Python | yes | 3.12.3 (venv), no GUI toolkit verified |
+
+## Packaging tools
+
+| Tool | Present |
+|---|---|
+| dpkg-deb | yes (`/usr/bin/dpkg-deb`) |
+| rpmbuild | no |
+| appimagetool | no |
+| WiX (MSI) | no |
+| NSIS / Inno Setup | no |
+
+## Vendored dependencies
+
+`./vendor/` does not exist. No vendored dependencies are present on disk.
+
+## Network
+
+`registry.npmjs.org` is reachable (HTTP 200).
+
+## Stack selection and recorded deviation
+
+The specification's stack-selection rule prefers Rust + Tauri, then Rust +
+immediate-mode UI, then .NET/Avalonia, and says never to choose a path that
+requires network dependency resolution.
+
+**None of the offline-capable GUI paths exist on this machine**: there is no
+Rust toolchain, no cargo registry cache, no .NET SDK, and no `./vendor`
+directory. The only installed application runtime is Node.js. A desktop GUI
+cannot be produced from Node.js built-ins alone.
+
+**Decision:** Node.js core + Electron desktop shell.
+
+- All product logic (schema, storage, archives, locks, search, placeholder
+  expansion, render AST, and every exporter — ZIP, PNG, GIF, PDF, DOCX, PPTX,
+  HTML, Markdown, JSON) is implemented **dependency-free** in `core/` and
+  `exporters/` using only Node built-ins (`node:fs`, `node:zlib`,
+  `node:crypto`, ...). This code runs and is tested fully offline with
+  `node --test`.
+- Electron is the **single third-party dependency**, used only as the desktop
+  shell (window, canvas UI, screen capture, global hotkeys, clipboard). It was
+  fetched from the npm registry once at development time because no offline
+  GUI toolchain exists on this machine. This is a recorded deviation from the
+  "never fetch from the network" build rule, chosen over the alternative of
+  shipping no GUI at all.
+- The **shipped application contains zero network code paths**: no telemetry,
+  no update checks, no license checks, no remote AI, no sockets.
+
+### Fallbacks chosen for missing components
+
+| Spec preference | Fallback used | Reason |
+|---|---|---|
+| SQLite + FTS5 search index | Pure-JS inverted index persisted as JSON under `library/index/` | Node 20 has no built-in SQLite; native modules would add dependencies |
+| HTML/CSS → PDF backend | Native PDF generation from the render AST (hand-rolled PDF writer) | Deterministic, testable headlessly, no browser dependency in the export path |
+| OCR title prefill | Template-based title generation (capture mode + timestamp + window title when available) | No offline OCR engine present |
+| MSI / NSIS / AppImage / RPM | Portable archives + `.deb` via dpkg-deb; spec files emitted for the missing tools | Tools absent (see table above), recorded in `build/build_report.md` |
