🟡 SQLite journals fail hygiene checks
A local *.sqlite-journal or *.sqlite3-journal remains unignored and enters check_repo_hygiene.py. The forbidden patterns reject these SQLite sidecars, so normal local database activity fails the hygiene gate.

Require the GitHub issue-template configuration.
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml defines the private security-reporting contact link, but this profile does not require it. Its deletion can pass hygiene checks and remove that reporting path. Add both .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml to required.files.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Bound the hygiene checker’s Git calls. scripts/check_repo_hygiene.py:git() runs rev-parse and ls-files without a timeout, so a blocked Git child can hold standalone validation indefinitely. Governance limits the CI job to 10 minutes, but it does not bound the checker itself. Add a finite timeout and map subprocess.TimeoutExpired to SetupError, which main() reports with its documented setup-error status. The test subprocesses are already bounded by the Governance job.
