docs(cso): add disclaimer — not a substitute for professional security audits

LLMs can miss subtle vulns and produce false negatives. For production
systems with sensitive data, hire a real firm. /cso is a first pass,
not your only line of defense. Disclaimer appended to every report.

**This tool is not a substitute for a professional security audit.** /cso is an AI-assisted
scan that catches common vulnerability patterns — it is not comprehensive, not guaranteed, and
not a replacement for hiring a qualified security firm. LLMs can miss subtle vulnerabilities,
misunderstand complex auth flows, and produce false negatives. For production systems handling
sensitive data, payments, or PII, engage a professional penetration testing firm. Use /cso as
a first pass to catch low-hanging fruit and improve your security posture between professional
audits — not as your only line of defense.
**Always include this disclaimer at the end of every /cso report output.**
