Identified and resolved a security vulnerability in build.sh where a plaintext password was being passed to chpasswd despite a secure hash being available. Enhanced the repository's security posture by implementing a new automated check in scripts/repo_audit.sh to detect future occurrences of this risk. Additionally, improved the reliability of the audit tool by adding necessary file exclusions and conditional logic, and addressed several repository hygiene violations.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 5024201574040016728 started by @christopherfoxjr

- Removed redundant and insecure `chpasswd` call in `build.sh` that used a plaintext password.
- Added a security check to `scripts/repo_audit.sh` to detect `chpasswd` usage without the `-e` flag.
- Refined `chmod 777` check in audit script to exclude documentation and the script itself.
- Made PaperDE `ldconfig` check conditional to prevent false positives.
- Resolved repository hygiene issues (trailing whitespace and non-empty .gitkeep files).
- Documented security learnings in `.Jules/sentinel.md`.
