Release 2.1.109 (2026-07-04)

Bug fixes

• drop 'security / standards' required check from CI-gates ruleset (#2141) Branch protection is managed as code; the CI-gates ruleset required a 'security / standards' check whose job is being retired (epic vergil-project/.github#82, Task B). A required check that never reports blocks all merges fleet-wide, so it is removed from the derived ruleset. A human reconciles live rulesets with 'vrg-github-repo-config apply' after this releases. Ref #2140
