fix: recognize compiled-language build steps as type-check gates (#473)

[aviavraham]

Go and Rust compilers are the type checker, go build, make build, and cargo build now satisfy the type-check gate in CIQualityGatesAssessor. Also recognize golangci-lint (bundles type-checking linters) and cargo clippy as a lint gate.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR fixes a bug where AgentReady incorrectly flagged compiled-language repositories (Go, Rust) as missing type-check gates. The fix recognizes that build steps and language-specific linters serve as type checkers in these languages, expanding detection patterns and adding test cases to validate the behavior.

Changes

Compiled Language Type-Check Gate Detection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Documentation of compiled-language type-check gates docs/attributes.md	Clarifies that build steps (go build, cargo build, make build) satisfy the type-check gate for compiled languages, and that golangci-lint qualifies because it bundles type-checking linters.
Lint and type-check gate detection patterns src/agentready/assessors/testing.py	Regex patterns in CIQualityGatesAssessor._assess_quality_gates expand to match cargo clippy for lint gates, and go build, make build, cargo build, and golangci-lint for type-check gates.
Compiled-language type-check gate test cases tests/unit/test_assessors_testing.py	Four test cases verify that CIQualityGatesAssessor detects type-check gates in Go (go build), Makefile (make build), linter action (golangci-lint), and Rust (cargo build) workflows.

[jwm4]

Clean fix, good tests, docs updated.

go build and cargo build genuinely perform type checking since the compiler is the type checker in these languages. golangci-lint dual credit (lint + typecheck) is well-reasoned since it bundles type-checking linters. cargo clippy fills a real gap for Rust lint detection. Tests are solid with realistic CI workflow YAMLs, and the docs update in the same PR follows project conventions.
