Research direction

Start by reading the four referenced pages: docs/en/08-culture-process/04-asvs.md, docs/en/06-verification/01-guides/03-asvs.md, docs/en/03-requirements/05-asvs.md, and docs/en/11-security-gap-analysis/01-guides/02-asvs.md. Compare their ASVS references with ASVS v5 and update all four sections so the Developer Guide matches the new version.
