Restore all-feature dependency checks.

Line 115 checks only the default feature set. A banned crate introduced behind an optional feature can now pass the required supply-chain check. Restore --all-features so CI enforces the policy documented in deny.toml and README.md.

Proposed fix 
-        run: cargo deny --locked check
+        run: cargo deny --locked --all-features check

kody code-review Bug medium

WHAT: changed=$(git diff --name-only HEAD^1 HEAD ... | tr '\n' ' ') runs under set -o pipefail but the command-substitution exit status is never checked (no set -e / no explicit failure handling), so if HEAD^1 cannot be resolved the substitution yields an empty string. WHY: when the merge-base parent is unresolvable (shallow-fetch race under queued re-runs, a checkout that isn't the expected merge ref, or the base commit not present at depth 2), git diff exits non-zero, changed becomes empty, and the very first branch prints 'Gate files unchanged vs PR base.' and exits 0 — the tamper check fails OPEN and lets a gate-file modification through, which is the exact opposite of its fail-closed contract. HOW: capture the diff into a temp and abort on git failure before evaluating, e.g. run git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^1 >/dev/null || { echo '::error::cannot resolve PR base'; exit 1; } first, or changed=$(git diff ...) || { echo '::error::gate diff failed'; exit 1; }.

### Gate tamper-evidence

The `supply-chain` check reads both its policy (`deny.toml`) and its own
definition (`security.yml`) from the PR head, so a PR could weaken the gate it
is being graded by — delete a `[bans]` entry, or drop `--all-features` while
keeping the job name green. Two properties defend against that:

- **Deletion fails closed.** `supply-chain` is a required status check with no
bypass actors; a PR that deletes the workflow leaves the context unreported
and the PR permanently unmergeable. The one deletion variant that would not
fail closed — shipping a replacement check under the same name — is why the
wire below also trips on any other changed workflow file mentioning
`supply-chain`, and why the required check is pinned to the GitHub Actions
app, so an API-posted commit status cannot impersonate it.
- **Modification trips a wire.** The job's final step diffs `deny.toml` and
`security.yml` against the PR's base and fails the required check on any
change, unless the PR body contains the exact, case-sensitive string
`[gate-change-approved]` (add it after human sign-off, *then* push a commit
— the marker is read from the push-time event, so a body edit alone does
not re-trigger). Legitimate policy updates therefore stay possible, but
only as a conscious, loudly-marked act.

What this does **not** defend against: a PR that edits the tamper-check step
itself out in the same commit; an author who self-serves the marker without
sign-off; and a marker hidden inside an HTML comment, which satisfies the
check but is invisible in the rendered body — when reviewing a gate-file
diff, check the raw PR body, not just the rendered view. All are deliberate
evasion, not the lazy path — each leaves an explicit trail in a reviewed
diff or the PR body source. Closing the first mechanically requires an
org-ruleset `workflows` rule pinning `security.yml` to an out-of-tree ref
(an org-scope decision, tracked on LAB-1151), which would still not protect
`deny.toml` — the wire above remains the only guard on the policy file
itself.
