Enables the private-name forward guard on this repo, now that .github #86 has merged. Pinned to .github 9b8f499 (main).

Why this shape

The guard previously ran on .github only — 1 of 11 public repos. security-scan.yml is called by 9 repos (vs 4 for required.yml) and each repo's security.yml is separate from its ci.yml, so none of the four April-frozen required.yml pins are touched.

enable-private-name-guard defaults to false upstream, so this switch and the token always land together — a Dependabot bump of the uses: SHA cannot turn the guard on by itself.

Proven on a canary first

docs #146 ran four configurations before any other repo was touched:

pin	flag	secret	result
main	unset	no	guard skipped
main	true	no	guard fails on the empty-token path — correct by design
main	true	yes	guard success

The middle row matters: without a token the guard fails rather than reporting a clean tree.

Known gap, not addressed here

This caller skips Dependabot (if: github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]'), as do all nine. So the guard is skipped, not failed, on Dependabot PRs — and those are the lockfile-shaped ones most likely to carry a private reference. Both hits found org-wide today were a .lock file and a generated changelog. Flagged for a follow-up decision.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated the security scanning configuration and credential setup. These changes affect automated checks and do not change the app’s user-facing features.

Walkthrough

The security workflow now calls a different pinned reusable workflow reference, enables the private-name guard, and forwards PRIVATE_NAME_GUARD_TOKEN instead of SEMGREP_APP_TOKEN. The actions language and Semgrep setting remain unchanged.

Changes: Security scan workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reusable workflow configuration .github/workflows/security.yml	The workflow call uses a new pinned reference, enables the private-name guard, and forwards PRIVATE_NAME_GUARD_TOKEN. It retains the actions language and Semgrep setting.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Low · up to 810d3

The guard adds protection for ordinary repository PRs, but Dependabot and fork changes remain unscanned. Merge risk is bounded with owner awareness and a trusted scanning follow-up; fork changes can be rerun from a repository branch.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "ci: enable the private-name guard on this repo" matches the main change. The raw summary shows the caller workflow enables enable-private-name-guard and swaps the forwarded token to PRIVATE_NAME_GUARD_TOKEN, and the objectives say the PR pins .github and enables the guard. The title names the primary change in a short, specific sentence. It does not mention the commit pin or the token swap, which is acceptable because it does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Test rejection of a known private reference.

Add an end-to-end test with a nonempty token and a known private reference. Assert that the enabled guard fails. The canary checks token handling, and the self-tests check matching, but neither checks the final rejection status.

Provide a trusted scan path for fork PRs.

The guard rejects fork PRs before checking the token, so their changes are not scanned for private repository names. The failed check does not block merging under the current rules. Provide a trusted scan path that does not expose credentials to fork code.

Run the private-name guard for Dependabot PRs.

Dependabot PRs skip the entire scan job. A lockfile containing a matching private repository name can therefore merge without the guard detecting it. Run a fail-closed guard for these PRs with a token available to Dependabot.
