FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review for security and quality in GitHub Actions?

Automated code review in GitHub Actions is achieved by running a headless scan on pull requests to identify simplification, hardening, and documentation issues. This workflow posts structured findings and can block merges based on severity.

Can I block pull request merges based on code quality and security findings?

Yes, pull request merges can be optionally blocked based on the severity of identified findings. The workflow evaluates critical or advisory classes from headless scans and gates the merge accordingly.

What is a headless CI scan for code simplification and hardening?

A headless CI scan for code simplification and hardening is an automated, non-interactive process that reviews changed files in pull requests. It reports potential security vulnerabilities and overly complex code without requiring manual approvals.

How do I scan changed files in a pull request for security vulnerabilities?

Scanning changed files in a pull request for security vulnerabilities is done by executing a CI-only variant of the Simplify & Harden workflow. It performs automated scan-and-report checks and posts structured findings directly to the pull request.

Does this automated quality assurance workflow require interactive approvals?

No, this automated quality assurance workflow does not require interactive approvals. It is designed to execute headless scan-and-report checks within Continuous Integration pipelines, ensuring pull requests meet predefined standards automatically.

When should I use a CI-only workflow for code quality and security review?

A CI-only workflow for code quality and security review should be used when you desire automated scan-and-report checks for pull requests without interactive approvals. It is ideal for preventing the introduction of risky changes during the CI build.
