type:audit type:review

Audits a `.pre-commit-config.yaml` (and referenced local hook scripts) against 20 deterministic checks (YAML shape, `rev:` pinning, scope declarations, network-call / destructive-command / error-suppression patterns, shell-script strict mode, hook explicit-name and require-serial hygiene) plus seven judgment dimensions and a Tier-3 cross-config collision check. Use when the user wants to "audit pre-commit", "lint pre-commit", or "review my pre-commit hooks". Not for hand-rolled `.git/hooks/` — out of scope. Not for CI pipelines — route elsewhere.
