# nothing else, and the findings arrive in the job summary and the artifact.
# SAG declined partly on "an externally maintained CLI ... together with PR and
# security-reporting permissions"; a scanner that asks for write scopes it is
# not going to use has no answer to that, and now it does not have to ask.

# An unretried `npm i -g` is a network call to a registry that decides
# whether a security gate runs at all. Retry before giving up; a
# transient registry blip is not a security signal and should not read
# like one.
#
# --ignore-scripts because a lifecycle script is arbitrary code from the
# dependency tree, and this job holds `pull-requests: write` and
# `security-events: write`. The CLI does not need them: it declares no
# install hook of its own, and `scan` was verified to run correctly from
# an --ignore-scripts install. A security gate that opens a shell for
# its own supply chain is not a gate.
#
# Downloaded, hashed, and only then installed. A pinned version says
# which release to fetch; it does not say the bytes are the ones that
# release was published with, and the party answering "which version"
# is the party serving the tarball. The hash is the half a version pin
# cannot give you, which is the distinction Haven's maintainer drew
# when they asked for "exact version + integrity hash" rather than
# treating the pin as the answer.
#
# Into RUNNER_TEMP, never the checkout: `npm pack` writes to the working
# directory by default, and a stray .tgz in the tree is something this
# workflow then scans and reports on.

#
# This used to write a zero-result SARIF when the file was missing, so the
# upload would not error and bury the real cause. That reasoning covered
# the wrong path. Code scanning treats a new analysis in a category as the
# current truth for that category, so an empty run does not read as "no
# data" — it resolves every open ThreatCrush alert the repository already
# had. A scanner that fails and marks the findings it previously reported
# as fixed is worse than one that does not run.
#
# Found in review by the SAG maintainers, who were right: the old comment
# defended the PR comment path (which does say NOT RUN) and said nothing
# about the upload, because nobody had looked at the upload.
