The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only updates the project's written security policy (docs/SECURITY.md). It does not change any application code, fix a bug, or patch a vulnerability. It clarifies how researchers should report security issues, adds safe-harbor language, defines scope, and introduces a discretionary reward policy. There is no direct security risk or security improvement to the software itself.

Recommended action

No action required beyond normal review of policy text. If auditing the project, treat this commit as a process/policy update, not a code security fix or regression.
