v1.4.0

[bluesentinelsec]

Summary

This PR updates all GitHub Actions workflows to use the latest v1.4.0 release while implementing performance improvements and security best practices.

Changes Made

⚡ Performance Optimization
• Updated Dockerfile to use public.ecr.aws/aws-cli/aws-cli:latest base image instead of building from amazonlinux
• Eliminates need to install Python3 and AWS CLI during build, reducing action installation time by 10-20 seconds

🔒 Security Hardening
• Added explicit permissions blocks to all workflows following principle of least privilege
• Granted only necessary permissions (contents: read, id-token: write, actions: write where needed)

📦 Version Updates
• Updated all workflow references from v1.3.0 to v1.4.0

Files Modified

• 14 workflow files updated with permissions and version bumps
• Dockerfile optimized for faster builds

Benefits

• Faster CI/CD: Reduced action startup time by 10-20 seconds per workflow run
• Enhanced Security: Explicit permission declarations prevent privilege escalation
