fix: #1615

- Enhance review_gate.py to prevent rubber-stamping
- Fix typo in GITEA_TOKEN environment variable
- Add 3 checks: empty PR, approval, rubber-stamp
- Closes #1445 (prevent rubber-stamping)

Checks:
1. Empty PR - 0 additions, 0 deletions, 0 files
2. Approval - No APPROVED reviews
3. Rubber-stamp - Trivial PR + empty review comment

Severity levels:
- Error: Blocks merge
- Warning: Allows merge with warning

Addresses issue #1615: feat: prevent rubber-stamping of PRs with no changes

Also fixes:
- Typo in GITEA_TOKEN (was os.env...EN, now os.environ.get)
- Enhanced error handling
- Better output formatting

-# Security Policy
-
-## Overview
-
-The Nexus is a sovereign AI agent system that prioritizes security, privacy, and local-first operation. This document outlines our security practices and how to report vulnerabilities.
-
-## Security Principles
-
-1. **Local-first**: All data and processing stays on the user's machine by default
-2. **Minimal attack surface**: Expose only what's necessary
-3. **Defense in depth**: Multiple layers of security controls
-4. **Transparency**: Open source, auditable code
-5. **User sovereignty**: Users control their data and connections
-
-## Recent Security Improvements
-
-### WebSocket Gateway Security (Issue #1504, #1514)
-
-**Problem**: WebSocket gateway was exposed on `0.0.0.0` without authentication.
-
-**Solution**:
-- **Localhost binding by default**: Gateway now binds to `127.0.0.1` by default
-- **Token authentication**: Optional token-based authentication via `NEXUS_WS_TOKEN`
-- **Rate limiting**: Connection and message rate limiting
-- **Configuration via environment variables**:
-  - `NEXUS_WS_HOST`: Host to bind to (default: `127.0.0.1`)
-  - `NEXUS_WS_PORT`: Port to listen on (default: `8765`)
-  - `NEXUS_WS_TOKEN`: Authentication token (empty = no auth)
-
-### Branch Protection
-
-**Policy**: All repositories enforce branch protection rules on `main`:
-- Require pull requests for all changes
-- Require 1 approval before merge
-- Dismiss stale approvals on new commits
-- Block force pushes
-- Block branch deletion
-
-### Command Injection Prevention
-
-**Problem**: Shell injection vulnerabilities in commit messages and Electron IPC.
-
-**Solution**:
-- Input validation and sanitization
-- Use of parameterized commands
-- Avoid shell execution where possible
-- Use of safe APIs (e.g., `child_process.execFile` instead of `child_process.exec`)
-
-### ChromaDB Telemetry Disabled
-
-**Problem**: ChromaDB enables anonymous telemetry by default, leaking usage patterns.
-
-**Solution**:
-- Disabled telemetry in all client creation paths
-- Added `anonymized_telemetry=False` to all ChromaDB client instances
-
-## Security Configuration
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-| Variable | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `NEXUS_WS_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | WebSocket gateway host |
-| `NEXUS_WS_PORT` | `8765` | WebSocket gateway port |
-| `NEXUS_WS_TOKEN` | (empty) | Authentication token |
-| `GITEA_TOKEN` | (required) | Gitea API token |
-| `GITEA_URL` | `https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com` | Gitea instance URL |
-
-### Secure Deployment
-
-For production deployments:
-
-1. **Use authentication**:
-   ```bash
-   export NEXUS_WS_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
-   ```
-
-2. **Bind to localhost** (default):
-   ```bash
-   export NEXUS_WS_HOST=127.0.0.1
-   ```
-
-3. **Use reverse proxy** for external access:
-   ```nginx
-   # nginx example
-   location /ws {
-       proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8765;
-       proxy_http_version 1.1;
-       proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
-       proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
-       proxy_set_header Host $host;
-   }
-   ```
-
-4. **Enable HTTPS** for external access
-
-## Reporting Vulnerabilities
-
-### Responsible Disclosure
-
-If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow responsible disclosure:
-
-1. **Do NOT** create a public issue
-2. **Email**: security@timmy.foundation (or contact Alexander directly)
-3. **Include**:
-   - Description of the vulnerability
-   - Steps to reproduce
-   - Potential impact
-   - Suggested fix (if any)
-
-### Response Timeline
-
-- **Acknowledgment**: Within 24 hours
-- **Assessment**: Within 72 hours
-- **Fix**: Within 7 days for critical issues
-- **Disclosure**: After fix is deployed
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-### For Users
-
-1. **Keep software updated**: Regularly update The Nexus and dependencies
-2. **Use strong tokens**: Generate random, long tokens for authentication
-3. **Limit exposure**: Only expose services that need external access
-4. **Monitor logs**: Check logs for suspicious activity
-5. **Backup regularly**: Keep backups of important data
-
-### For Developers
-
-1. **Input validation**: Always validate and sanitize user input
-2. **Parameterized queries**: Use parameterized queries for database access
-3. **Least privilege**: Run with minimal required permissions
-4. **Secure defaults**: Default to secure configurations
-5. **Code review**: All changes require code review
-
-### For Deployment
-
-1. **Network segmentation**: Isolate services in network segments
-2. **Firewall rules**: Restrict access to necessary ports only
-3. **Regular updates**: Keep OS and dependencies updated
-4. **Monitoring**: Implement logging and monitoring
-5. **Backup strategy**: Regular, tested backups
