This pull request introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow stub for continuous integration (CI) on the main branch and updates the SonarQube project configuration. The main goals are to standardize CI checks using a shared workflow and to enhance SonarQube settings with improved metadata, language targeting, and documentation.

Description

This pull request introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow stub for CI on the main branch and significantly updates the SonarQube configuration. The changes improve CI/CD automation, security, and code quality analysis by centralizing and clarifying workflow parameters and enhancing SonarQube project metadata and settings.

Continuous Integration Workflow Enhancements:

• Added .github/workflows/ci-main-pull-request-stub.yml as a reusable workflow stub to standardize CI checks on pull requests and pushes to main and chef-cli-5 branches, integrating security scans (Trivy, Trufflehog, BlackDuck Polaris), SonarQube analysis, SBOM generation, and more. The stub forwards relevant secrets and parameters to a central workflow and includes detailed documentation for each input.

SonarQube Configuration Improvements:

• Refactored sonar-project.properties to provide clearer documentation, updated the project name to a standardized format (Chef_Chef-Agents_chef-cli), explicitly set the language to Ruby, and specified source (lib) and test (spec) directories. Additional comments guide future configuration for coverage, Rubocop, and SARIF reports.
