ci: remove GitHub Advanced Security dependent CI - #44
Conversation
GitHub now bills Advanced Security (Code Security), so actions/dependency-review-action and github/codeql-action/upload-sarif no longer function on this repo. - Delete .github/workflows/dependency-review.yml. - Disable upload-sarif in scorecard.yml and container-security.yml (both org-level reusable workflow inputs). Scorecard and Trivy results remain available via the artifacts those reusable workflows already publish unconditionally; Hadolint's SARIF has no artifact fallback today and is noted as a follow-up. - security-events: write permissions are kept in both callers since the reusable workflows' jobs still declare that permission structurally; GitHub validates the caller/callee permission ceiling at parse time independent of upload-sarif's runtime value. - Add a CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Removed entry. Leaves security-analysis.yml's run-codeql/run-dependency-review inputs untouched; a separate coordinated change updates those once the shared ByronWilliamsCPA/.github reusable workflow's defaults change.

🟢 Approval recommended
The workflow updates are internally consistent, YAML-valid, and align with the stated intent to remove Advanced Security–dependent CI while retaining artifact-based reporting where available.
Pull request overview
This PR updates the repository’s CI/security workflows to remove/disable GitHub Advanced Security–dependent steps (dependency review and SARIF uploads) that no longer work for this repo’s billing configuration, while keeping alternative report artifacts available via the existing reusable workflows.
Changes:
- Deleted the standalone Dependency Review workflow (
.github/workflows/dependency-review.yml). - Disabled
upload-sarifinputs in the Scorecard and Container Security caller workflows (relying on existing artifacts from the reusable workflows instead). - Documented the removals under
## [Unreleased]inCHANGELOG.md.
File summaries
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| CHANGELOG.md | Adds an Unreleased “Removed” entry describing the CI/security capability changes and remaining report visibility. |
| .github/workflows/scorecard.yml | Sets upload-sarif: false and documents rationale while preserving required permissions for the reusable workflow contract. |
| .github/workflows/dependency-review.yml | Removes the standalone dependency review workflow that depended on Advanced Security. |
| .github/workflows/container-security.yml | Sets upload-sarif: false and documents the implications (Trivy still via artifact; Hadolint findings only in logs). |

.github/workflows/dependency-review.yml(standalonedependency-review-actionstep).upload-sarifinscorecard.ymlandcontainer-security.yml(both are thin callers to org-level reusable workflows inByronWilliamsCPA/.github; there is nogithub/codeql-action/upload-sarifstep directly in this repo, only theupload-sarif:input flag that gates it inside the callee).scorecard.yml: the callee (python-scorecard.yml) already uploads the same SARIF file unconditionally as thescorecard-resultsartifact, so no replacement was needed.container-security.yml: the callee (python-container-security.yml) already uploads Trivy's SARIF unconditionally as part of thecontainer-security-reportsartifact, so no replacement was needed there. Hadolint's SARIF upload was that scanner's only output and has no artifact fallback in the callee today; its findings are visible only in the job log until a follow-up adds an artifact step to the reusable workflow (out of scope for this caller-only PR, since that workflow lives inByronWilliamsCPA/.github).security-events: writein both callers'permissions:blocks: the callee jobs still declare that permission structurally regardless ofupload-sarif's value, and GitHub validates the caller/callee permission ceiling at parse time, not at runtime.### Removedentry under## [Unreleased]inCHANGELOG.md.Not touched (out of scope, coordinated elsewhere)
security-analysis.yml'srun-codeql: true/run-dependency-review: trueinputs to the sharedpython-security-analysis.ymlreusable workflow are left as-is. A separate coordinated change removes those once the reusable workflow's own defaults change; removing them here first would not disable anything (the callee still runs them) and would just desync the caller from what actually executes.Required-check audit
