Continuous scanner CI not detected

This plugin remains listed. Its overall trust score is reduced by 10% because security checks are not maintained in the source repository's CI.

Optional: maintain the scanner in the source repository's CI to receive the full trust score. Listing does not require that change.

Verified badge not detected

Add the HOL verified badge to the repository README to score +2% trust. Plugin owners can open that pull request from Guard Plugins.
