feat: Install quality-rails for mechanical code quality enforcement

Quality Rails provides mechanical enforcement of code quality through
pre-commit hooks and CI/CD pipelines, preventing ~70% of common issues.

What's added:
- Pre-commit hooks via husky (formatting enforcement enabled)
- Enhanced ESLint rules (no-explicit-any, security plugin, etc.)
- lint-staged configuration (currently formatting-only mode)
- Woodpecker CI pipeline template (.woodpecker.yml)
- eslint-plugin-security for vulnerability detection
- Documentation (docs/quality-rails-status.md)

Current status:
- Strict enforcement DISABLED until existing violations are fixed
- Found 1,226 violations (1,121 errors, 105 warnings)
- Priority: Fix explicit 'any' types first
- Pre-commit currently only enforces Prettier formatting

Next steps:
1. Fix existing lint violations
2. Enable strict pre-commit enforcement
3. Configure CI/CD pipeline

Based on quality-rails from ~/src/quality-rails (monorepo template)
See docs/quality-rails-status.md for detailed roadmap.

+Quality Rails - Mechanical Code Quality Enforcement
+
+**Status:** Installed (2026-01-30) - Currently in formatting-only mode
+
+Quality Rails provides mechanical enforcement of code quality standards through pre-commit hooks
+and CI/CD pipelines. See `docs/quality-rails-status.md` for full details.
+
+What's Enforced (Once enabled):
+
+- ✅ **Type Safety** - Blocks explicit `any` types (@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any: error)
+- ✅ **Return Types** - Requires explicit return types on exported functions
+- ✅ **Security** - Detects SQL injection, XSS, unsafe regex (eslint-plugin-security)
+- ✅ **Promise Safety** - Blocks floating promises and misused promises
+- ✅ **Code Formatting** - Auto-formats with Prettier on commit
+- ✅ **Build Verification** - Type-checks before allowing commit
+- ✅ **Secret Scanning** - Blocks hardcoded passwords/API keys (git-secrets)
+
+Current Status:
+
+- 🟡 **Pre-commit hooks**: Enabled (formatting only until violations fixed)
+- 🔴 **Strict enforcement**: Disabled (1,226 existing violations to fix first)
+- 🟡 **CI/CD pipeline**: Ready (.woodpecker.yml created, not yet configured)
+
+Next Steps:
+
+1. Fix existing 1,226 lint violations (priority: explicit `any` types)
+2. Enable strict pre-commit enforcement in `.lintstagedrc.mjs`
+3. Configure Woodpecker CI to run quality gates on all PRs
+
+Why This Matters:
+
+Based on validation of 50 real production issues, Quality Rails mechanically prevents ~70%
+of quality issues including:
+
+- Hardcoded passwords
+- Type safety violations
+- SQL injection vulnerabilities
+- Build failures
+- Test coverage gaps
+
+**Mechanical enforcement works. Process compliance doesn't.**
+
+See `docs/quality-rails-status.md` for detailed roadmap and violation breakdown.

+# Quality Rails Status
+
+## Installation Date
+
+2026-01-30
+
+## Current Status: **INSTALLED - PARTIAL ENFORCEMENT**
+
+Quality Rails has been successfully installed but is currently in **formatting-only mode** due to existing codebase violations.
+
+## What's Installed
+
+### ✅ Pre-Commit Hooks (.husky/)
+
+- Runs lint-staged on every commit
+- Currently only enforces Prettier formatting
+- Ready to enable full enforcement once violations are fixed
+
+### ✅ Enhanced ESLint Rules
+
+Added to `packages/config/eslint/base.js`:
+
+- `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any: "error"` - Block any types
+- `@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type: "warn"` - Require return types
+- `@typescript-eslint/explicit-module-boundary-types: "error"` - Export type safety
+- `eslint-plugin-security` - SQL injection, XSS detection
+- Promise/async safety rules
+- Code quality improvements
+
+### ✅ CI/CD Pipeline (.woodpecker.yml)
+
+Ready to use (not yet configured in CI system):
+
+- npm audit (dependency security)
+- eslint (code quality)
+- tsc (type checking)
+- vitest (tests + 80% coverage threshold)
+- build (compilation)
+
+### ✅ Dependencies Added
+
+- husky@9.1.7 - Git hook management
+- lint-staged@16.2.7 - Staged file checking
+- eslint-plugin-security@3.0.1 - Security vulnerability detection
+
+## Current Violations
+
+**Total violations found: 1,226** (1,121 errors, 105 warnings)
+
+### Breakdown by Category:
+
+- **Explicit `any` types**: ~400+ violations
+- **Unsafe member access**: ~300+ violations
+- **Missing return types**: ~200+ violations
+- **Code quality issues**: ~105 violations
+- **Formatting issues**: ~200+ violations
+
+### Most Common Violations:
+
+1. `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` - Unexpected any types
+2. `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-member-access` - Unsafe any usage
+3. `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-assignment` - Unsafe any assignment
+4. `prettier/prettier` - Formatting inconsistencies
+5. `@typescript-eslint/prefer-nullish-coalescing` - Use ?? instead of ||
+
+## Roadmap to Full Enforcement
+
+### Phase 1: Fix Existing Violations (Current)
+
+**Goal**: Reduce violations to zero
+
+**Priority order**:
+
+1. Security issues (if any from eslint-plugin-security)
+2. Explicit `any` types → Replace with proper types
+3. Unsafe member access → Add type guards
+4. Missing return types → Add explicit types
+5. Code quality warnings → Refactor where beneficial
+
+**Approach**:
+
+```bash
+# Run lint to see all violations
+pnpm turbo run lint
+
+# Fix auto-fixable issues first
+pnpm turbo run lint:fix
+
+# Then manually fix remaining issues package by package
+pnpm turbo run lint --filter=@mosaic/api
+```
+
+**Estimated effort**: 20-40 hours (depending on thoroughness)
+
+### Phase 2: Enable Strict Pre-Commit Enforcement
+
+Once violations are at zero, update `.lintstagedrc.mjs`:
+
+```javascript
+export default {
+  "**/*.{ts,tsx}": (filenames) => {
+    const packages = [
+      ...new Set(
+        filenames.map((f) => {
+          const match = f.match(/^(apps|packages)\/([^/]+)\//);
+          return match ? `@mosaic/${match[2]}` : null;
+        })
+      ),
+    ].filter(Boolean);
+
+    if (packages.length === 0) return [];
+
+    // STRICT ENFORCEMENT - blocks commits with violations
+    return packages.map(
+      (pkg) => `pnpm turbo run lint typecheck --filter=@mosaic/${pkg} -- --max-warnings=0`
+    );
+  },
+
+  "**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,json,md,yml,yaml}": ["prettier --write"],
+};
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Enable CI/CD Enforcement
+
+Configure Woodpecker CI (or GitHub Actions) to run `.woodpecker.yml` pipeline on every PR.
+
+This will block PRs that:
+
+- Have dependency vulnerabilities (npm audit)
+- Don't pass linting (eslint)
+- Don't pass type checking (tsc)
+- Have test failures or <80% coverage
+- Don't build successfully
+
+## Testing Enforcement
+
+### Test that pre-commit hooks work:
+
+```bash
+# Create a file with violations
+echo 'export function bad(x: any) { return x; }' > test.ts
+git add test.ts
+git commit -m "test"
+# Should be BLOCKED once strict enforcement is enabled
+```
+
+### Test that CI enforcement works:
+
+```bash
+# Push a branch with violations
+# CI should fail the build
+```
+
+## Benefits Once Fully Enabled
+
+Based on Quality Rails validation of 50 real production issues:
+
+| Issue Category      | Current Status       | After Full Enforcement        |
+| ------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| Hardcoded passwords | Possible             | ✅ BLOCKED by git-secrets     |
+| SQL injection       | Possible             | ✅ BLOCKED by security plugin |
+| Type safety (`any`) | **1,121 violations** | ✅ BLOCKED by no-explicit-any |
+| Silent failures     | Partial protection   | ⚠️ Partially blocked          |
+| Test coverage gaps  | Not enforced         | ✅ BLOCKED by 80% threshold   |
+| Build failures      | Not enforced         | ✅ BLOCKED by pre-commit tsc  |
+| Dependency CVEs     | Not enforced         | ✅ BLOCKED by npm audit       |
+
+**Expected impact: ~70% of quality issues prevented mechanically**
+
+## Notes
+
+### git-secrets (Optional)
+
+The pre-commit hook tries to run `git-secrets` but falls back gracefully if not installed.
+
+To install git-secrets for secret scanning:
+
+```bash
+# Install git-secrets (platform-specific)
+# Then configure patterns:
+git secrets --add 'password\s*=\s*["\'].*["\']'
+git secrets --add 'api[_-]?key\s*=\s*["\'].*["\']'
+```
+
+### Turbo Caching
+
+Turbo caches lint and typecheck results, so repeated runs are fast. Only changed packages are re-checked.
+
+### IDE Integration
+
+ESLint rules are enforced in VSCode/other IDEs automatically. Developers will see errors in real-time before committing.
