⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add the separate leading-BOM check required by Issue #70.

This change only adds \x{feff} to the PCRE character class. It does not inspect the first three bytes (EF BB BF) before grep runs. A leading BOM can therefore remain undetected. Add a byte-level check and merge its results with /tmp/empty-lint-results.txt. Keep \x{feff} for internal BOMs. (w3.org)

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml at line 135, Update the dogfood gate to
add a byte-level check for the UTF-8 leading BOM sequence EF BB BF before grep
processing, merge any findings into /tmp/empty-lint-results.txt, and retain
\x{feff} in PATTERNS to detect internal BOM characters.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: Refactor the find and grep command to be more efficient and robust. Remove the redundant -r flag and the 2>/dev/null redirect so that any regex compilation errors are visible in the logs. Using + instead of \; will also reduce the number of process forks.

Suggested change
-exec grep -aPrl "$PATTERNS" {} \; > /tmp/empty-lint-results.txt 2>/dev/null
-exec grep -aPl "$PATTERNS" {} + > /tmp/empty-lint-results.txt
