feat: add organization membership security gate for Claude workflow (#419)

- Create reusable org-membership-check action to verify dotCMS
membership
- Update Claude workflow with security gate that blocks non-members
- Hardcode organization to prevent override attacks
- Add comprehensive logging for security decisions

Addresses security concern from issue dotCMS#33050 where external users could
trigger Claude workflows by mentioning @claude in comments.

+# Organization Membership Check Action
+
+This composite action checks if a GitHub user is a member of the dotCMS organization. It's used as a security gate to ensure only dotCMS organization members can trigger sensitive workflows like Claude code reviews.
+
+## Security Features
+
+- **Hardcoded Organization**: The organization name "dotCMS" is hardcoded and cannot be overridden
+- **No Information Leakage**: Does not distinguish between public/private membership in outputs
+- **Graceful Error Handling**: Returns clear status without exposing internal API details
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input | Description | Required | Default |
+|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| `username` | GitHub username to check | Yes | N/A |
+
+## Outputs
+
+| Output | Description | Possible Values |
+|--------|-------------|-----------------|
+| `is_member` | Boolean indicating membership | `true` or `false` |
+| `membership_status` | Detailed status | `member`, `non-member`, or `error` |
+
+## Usage
+
+```yaml
+- name: Check organization membership
+  id: membership-check
+  uses: ./.github/actions/security/org-membership-check
+  with:
+    username: ${{ github.actor }}
+
+- name: Conditional step based on membership
+  if: steps.membership-check.outputs.is_member == 'true'
+  run: echo "User is authorized"
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The action uses the GitHub CLI (`gh`) with the repository's `GITHUB_TOKEN` to check organization membership. It first attempts to check public membership, and if that fails, it attempts to check private membership (which requires appropriate permissions in organization repositories).
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Only checks membership in the dotCMS organization (hardcoded)
+- Does not expose whether membership is public or private
+- Logs authorization results without sensitive details
+- Uses repository's built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` for API access
