Add pre-commit + CI gates that scan only AI-suggested diffs and fail on security patterns.
Concrete workflow:
1) Tag AI suggestions in commit/PR or detect Copilot-generated hunks via diff/IDE metadata.
2) Run linters/security scanners (ESLint + semgrep) on staged diffs; fail on rules like eval/exec usage, hardcoded creds, unsanitized SQL/format strings, weak crypto, open redirects.
3) Block merge on any match and require human security review.
