Greptile Summary

This PR adds Content Security Policy (CSP) headers for the /docs (Swagger) and /redoc API documentation endpoints to fix broken pages when FIDES__SECURITY__HEADER_MODE is set to recommended.

Changes include:

• Added domain constants for external CDNs (cdn.jsdelivr.net, fastapi.tiangolo.com, cdn.redoc.ly, Google Fonts domains)
• Created two new CSP header configurations: recommended_csp_header_value_for_swagger and recommended_csp_header_value_for_redoc
• Updated the negative lookahead regex pattern to exclude /docs and /redoc from the default CSP policy
• Added two new HeaderRule entries for the /docs and /redoc endpoints with their specific CSP configurations
• Added comprehensive test coverage for both new endpoints

The implementation correctly whitelists the necessary external resources (scripts, styles, fonts, images) required for each documentation page to render properly while maintaining security through CSP.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are straightforward and well-tested, adding CSP headers for documentation endpoints. The implementation follows existing patterns, includes comprehensive test coverage, and only affects security headers for two specific endpoints. No logic changes to core functionality.
• No files require special attention
