Walkthrough

This PR updates GitHub Actions workflow configurations and pre-commit hooks. The macOS workflow removes MLIR references from compiler documentation. The Ubuntu workflow capitalizes the workflow name and updates the default runner to ubuntu-24.04. The pre-commit configuration introduces priority-based hook execution, adds new checks (capitalization rules, BibTeX tidying, security analysis with zizmor), and reorganizes existing hooks into a multi-tier structure.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflows .github/workflows/reusable-cpp-tests-macos.yml, .github/workflows/reusable-cpp-tests-ubuntu.yml	Removed "including MLIR" phrasing from clang-XX compiler descriptions, capitalized Ubuntu in workflow name, updated ubuntu-latest default to ubuntu-24.04 with simplified allowed runner values.
Pre-commit Configuration .pre-commit-config.yaml	Introduced priority levels (0–2) for hooks to control execution order, added new hooks for capitalization checks and BibTeX tidying, integrated zizmor for security scanning, reorganized and commented hook sections for clarity.

Poem

🐰 A hop through configs, priorities aligned,
Pre-commit hooks dance in order refined,
Ubuntu ascends, capitalized and grand,
MLIR fades as CI takes its stand,
Zizmor now watches with security's keen eye! 🔍

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The title references updating 'prek' checks, which is the primary subject of the PR, but is vague about the specific changes (priority features).	Consider clarifying the title to mention the priority feature aspect, e.g., 'Add priority levels to pre-commit hooks' or 'Update pre-commit config to use prek priorities'.

✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

In @.pre-commit-config.yaml:
- Around line 17-29: Update the section header "Priority 0: Fast validation and
independent fixers" so it no longer implies all hooks are priority 0;
specifically remove "independent fixers" (or change to "Priority 0 and 1: Fast
validation") to reflect that hooks like end-of-file-fixer and
trailing-whitespace are priority 1 while check-merge-conflict is priority 0;
locate the header string and the hook ids end-of-file-fixer and
trailing-whitespace to confirm the wording change matches the actual priorities.
