Implements two layers of spam protection for the grant report submission form:
Honeypot Field - Hidden `company_website` field that bots fill but humans don't
Time-Based Validation - Requires minimum time between form load and submission
Changes
Testing
Configuration
Both protections run before any GitHub API calls, preventing wasted API quota on spam.
