Why these changes are being introduced: As of pipenv 2025.0.1 the use of `pipenv check` would throw an error, indicating that the library `safety` was not installed. It worked to run `pipenv check --auto-install` which would temporarily install `safety`, but this was not ideal for multiple reasons. First, we anticipate potentially moving away from `pipenv`. Second, it appears that `safety` is moving to a pay / subscription model. Third, it remains a little obfuscated what `pipenv check` is actually doing. As this new situation affects all builds in Github Actions CI, we need a way to scan for vulnerabilities that ideally is not a massive overhaul of our vulnerability scanning approach. How this addresses that need: `pip-audit` is a nice standalone, open-source library that performs very similar work to `safety`. This commit replaces `pipenv check` (which was `safety` under the hood) with `pip-audit`. Side effects of this change: * Builds will be successful in Github Actions Relevant ticket(s): * https://mitlibraries.atlassian.net/browse/IN-1240
