The owasp dependency-check job intermittently failed PRs with 'Missing base report'. Root cause: on an Actions cache miss the scan did a from-scratch NVD pull from the rate-limited NVD API, which often timed out (HTTP 503/524). With -DfailOnError=false this left no report, so the compare step failed. The failure was unrelated to PR contents. Move the NVD update into a scheduled hydration workflow that publishes the NVD database to the Actions cache, and have PR runs restore that cache and scan with -DautoUpdate=false so they never contact the NVD API. This also covers fork PRs, which can read caches created on the base repo's default branch. If the database is unavailable the PR job neutralizes with a warning instead of red-failing. - Add owasp-nvd-hydrate.yml: scheduled update-only with retries - maven-owasp-scan: add auto-update input; drop bogus nvdApiAnalyzerEnabled - owasp-dependency-check: restore hydrated DB, autoUpdate=false, neutralize on miss
hashFiles() can only read files under GITHUB_WORKSPACE, but the NVD data directory is in /tmp, so the guard always evaluated empty and the cache save was skipped. Gate on the update step's outcome instead.

Throwaway PR to verify the dependency-check job restores the hydrated NVD cache and scans with autoUpdate=false. Do not merge.
