Summary

Board reversal 2026-04-28: SonarCloud Code Analysis is now a required check on `main`. Documents and branch protection both updated.

Changes

• Branch protection: `SonarCloud Code Analysis` added to `required_status_checks` on `main` (alongside the existing `build · vet · test` gate). Set via GitHub API; verified via `GET /branches/main/protection`.
• `CLAUDE.md`: removed SonarCloud from the "do not re-introduce" list, documented that it runs as the SonarCloud GitHub App (no in-repo workflow), and reframed the OSS-CLI security stack as supplemented by SonarCloud.
• `.github/workflows/security.yml`: updated the header comment so the historical "Replaces Sonar + ..." line no longer contradicts the current required-gate state.

Notes

• This PR is the first to test SonarCloud-as-required-check. If SonarCloud fails here, that's a real signal — either configuration drift (e.g. missing token / project key) or a flagged finding worth addressing. PR fix(robustness): atomic batch writes + DLQ fsync (P0) #59 saw SonarCloud fail before the gate was added; if the failure mode is configuration, this PR will need the same fix before it can merge.
• No application code changes. No test changes.

Test plan

• CLAUDE.md and security.yml render correctly (no broken markdown, no contradictory statements left behind)
• `gh api .../branches/main/protection/required_status_checks/contexts` shows both required contexts
• commit signed (ED25519)
