[Code Quality] Standardize discussion category naming across workflows

[github-actions]

Description

The lockfile statistics analysis (#13125) identified inconsistent discussion category naming across 59 workflows that create discussions. Categories use mixed capitalization (audits/Audits/audit, General/general), making it harder to organize and search discussions.

Current State

Inconsistent categories found:

• audits (21 workflows)
• Audits (6 workflows)
• General (14 workflows)
• audit (possibly exists)
• reports (3 workflows)
• research (2 workflows)

Suggested Changes

Standardize to lowercase singular form:

• Use audits (not Audits, Audit, audit)
• Use general (not General)
• Use reports, research, etc. consistently

Files Affected

• 59 workflow markdown files that use create-discussion safe output
• Likely in .github/workflows/*.md files with safe-outputs frontmatter containing:

  safe-outputs:
    - type: create-discussion
      category: Audits  # ← Fix capitalization

Implementation Approach

1. Search for workflow files with create-discussion safe output
2. Identify category field values
3. Standardize to lowercase:
   • sed -i 's/category: Audits/category: audits/g' .github/workflows/*.md
   • sed -i 's/category: General/category: general/g' .github/workflows/*.md
4. Recompile workflows: make recompile
5. Update workflow documentation with standard categories

Success Criteria

• All discussion categories use lowercase singular form
• No more mixed capitalization (Audits/audits/audit → audits)
• Discussions are easier to filter and organize by category
• Workflow documentation includes category naming standards

Impact

• Severity: Low (cosmetic/organizational)
• Scope: 59 workflows (40% of all workflows)
• Benefit: Improved discussion organization, easier searching, better UI experience
