Private repositories: findings as security-finding issues #540
GitHub keeps repository security advisories for public repositories: its advisories API answers 404 on a private one. On a private repository, a Security run records each Security finding as an issue labelled security-finding and needs-triage. The issue's body is the one a draft advisory would have, and it is matched by fingerprint, so that a repeat audit doesn't duplicate it.
Both labels are created with a description when the repository lacks them.
Acceptance criteria
On a repository whose advisories API answers 404, each finding becomes an issue labelled security-finding and needs-triage, with the advisory's body.
A second audit with the same finding creates no second issue.
Missing labels are created, each with a description, and existing ones are kept as they are.
A public repository still gets draft advisories and no issues.
