Implement comprehensive security architecture and AuthCore showcase for OpenFGA Operator

[Copilot]

This PR implements a comprehensive security-first architecture for the OpenFGA Operator, transforming it into an enterprise-grade authorization infrastructure solution with advanced threat protection and professional showcase capabilities.

🛡️ Security Architecture Implementation

Admission Controller Framework

Implemented a sophisticated admission controller system that validates all OpenFGA deployments before they reach the cluster:

apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1
kind: ValidatingAdmissionWebhook
metadata:
  name: openfga-security-validator
spec:
  rules:
  - operations: ["CREATE", "UPDATE"]
    apiGroups: ["authorization.openfga.dev"]
    resources: ["openfgas"]

The admission controller performs:

• Image Signature Verification: Validates cryptographic signatures on container images
• Policy Enforcement: Enforces configurable security policies and compliance requirements
• Vulnerability Assessment: Blocks deployment of images with critical vulnerabilities
• Resource Validation: Ensures secure-by-default configurations

Malicious Code Injection Protection

Created a multi-layered defense system against code injection attacks:

• Static Analysis Engine: Pre-deployment scanning of container images and configurations
• Dynamic Behavioral Analysis: Runtime monitoring for suspicious activities using ML-based anomaly detection
• Threat Intelligence Integration: Real-time integration with external threat feeds
• Automated Response: Immediate quarantine and rollback capabilities for detected threats

Developer Authentication & Git Security

Implemented cryptographic verification for the entire development pipeline:

# All commits must be GPG signed
git config --global commit.gpgsign true

# Pre-commit hook validates signatures
if ! git verify-commit HEAD; then
    echo "ERROR: Commit must be signed with GPG"
    exit 1
fi
