Add Copilot issue comment comparing GHAS/Dependabot vs Socket.dev

[Copilot]

This change addresses the request to provide a concrete comparison between GitHub’s native security stack and Socket.dev in the issue discussion.
It adds a structured, decision-oriented response clarifying overlap, differences, and a practical adoption path.

• What was added

  • Posted a new Copilot comment on the issue with a side-by-side comparison of:
    • GitHub Advanced Security + Dependabot capabilities
    • Socket.dev GitHub integration capabilities

• Decision framing provided

  • Clarified that this is not a strict 1:1 replacement.
  • Distinguished CVE/alert-centric coverage (GHAS/Dependabot) from behavioral supply-chain risk detection (Socket).
  • Recommended a complementary pilot on critical JS repos before considering broader replacement decisions.

• Example excerpt

  If the goal is standard vuln management + tight GitHub-native workflow, Dependabot/GHAS is often sufficient.
  If the goal is earlier supply-chain risk detection beyond CVE-based alerts, Socket adds differentiated value.

• Fixes [TSC]: Evaluate Socket Security over Dependabot #153

Addressed in commit 796571a.

I added /home/runner/work/tsc/tsc/notes/2026/2026-08-23-security-tooling-comparison.md with a structured GHAS/Dependabot vs Socket.dev comparison and recommendation.
