ci: add govulncheck workflow to auto-create issues for vulnerabilities#278
Merged
Conversation
Add a new GitHub Actions workflow that: - Runs govulncheck on push to main, nightly (4:30 AM UTC), and manual dispatch - Auto-creates/updates a GitHub issue with a link to the workflow run - Deduplicates by matching existing open issues by title + label - Auto-closes the issue when all vulnerabilities are resolved Design decisions: - Use Taskfile for govulncheck install (matching existing workflow patterns) - Use tee so findings appear in run logs for agents/humans to inspect - Detect findings from JSON content with jq, not exit codes - Validate JSON before deciding no findings (avoid wrongly closing issues) - Use --body-file to avoid shell injection from expression interpolation - Keep issue body simple/static, pointing to workflow run for details - Global concurrency group to prevent issue creation races - Follow existing repo patterns (SHA-pinned actions, emoji names, etc.) Closes #275 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The backticks in the echo statement are intentional markdown formatting, not command substitutions. Add shellcheck disable directive to silence the warning. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
