Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change replaces Security-tab SARIF reporting with artifacts and removes standalone GHAS workflows, but retained shared-workflow settings may still run billing-dependent security jobs.

The documentation still claims Semgrep runs in CI even though it isn’t wired into any workflows or pre-commit hooks in this repo.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the repository’s CI/security posture to reflect the removal of GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS)-dependent capabilities (CodeQL scanning, dependency-review action, and SARIF ingestion), while preserving ClusterFuzzLite SARIF output as a build artifact and updating documentation to match what actually runs.
Changes:
- Removed the standalone CodeQL and dependency-review GitHub Actions workflows.
- Updated
cifuzzy.ymlto uploadresults.sarifviaactions/upload-artifactinstead ofgithub/codeql-action/upload-sarif. - Updated security/compliance documentation and the changelog to stop citing CodeQL/dependency-review as active controls.

Align the SAST narrative with the tool inventory.
The new paragraph says that Semgrep runs on every commit, but the **Tools** list below and .github/workflows/README.md do not list Semgrep. Add Semgrep to the documented checks if it is active; otherwise remove it from this paragraph.

A follow-up PR removes them once the shared workflow changes. docs/template_feedback.md was reviewed but left untouched: it documents historical feedback about the upstream cookiecutter template, not live claims about this repo's active controls.

Summary
GitHub now bills Advanced Security (Code Security), so CodeQL code scanning, the dependency-review action, and SARIF ingestion into the Security tab no longer function. This removes those controls from
audio-processorand documents what actually runs instead.Changes
.github/workflows/codeql.ymland.github/workflows/dependency-review.yml.cifuzzy.yml: this was the only in-repogithub/codeql-action/upload-sarifstep, and it was ClusterFuzzLite's only publication path forresults.sarif(the existingUpload Crash Artifactsstep only firesif: failure()and uploads a different path). Replaced with a plainactions/upload-artifactstep (if: always()) so the SARIF file is still preserved as a build artifact instead of vanishing. Dropped the now-unusedsecurity-events: writepermission.SECURITY.md,CLAUDE.md,.github/workflows/README.md,docs/OPENSSF_COMPLIANCE.md,docs/PROJECT_SETUP.md,docs/ossf-badge-checklist.md(the latter two citedcodeql.ymlby filename for OpenSSF Best Practices self-attestation evidence, which would otherwise dangle after this PR).CHANGELOG.md: added a### Removedentry under## [Unreleased].docs/template_feedback.mdreviewed, left untouched: it's historical feedback about the upstream cookiecutter template (not a live claim about this repo's current controls).Explicitly out of scope (left alone)
security-analysis.ymlstill passesrun-codeql: trueandrun-dependency-review: truetoByronWilliamsCPA/.github's sharedpython-security-analysis.ymlreusable workflow. Left as-is on purpose: that shared workflow defaults both totrue, so removing the caller lines now (before the shared workflow itself changes) would silently re-enable a CodeQL job that cannot succeed. A follow-up PR removes these inputs once the shared workflow's defaults change.container-security.yml(upload-sarif: true) andscorecard.yml(upload-sarif: true) pass SARIF-upload inputs to their own org-level reusable workflows (python-container-security.yml,python-scorecard.yml). Same category as therun-codeql/run-dependency-reviewinputs above: not touched here, since changing them is a decision that belongs with the shared-workflow owner, not this caller.sbom.yml's reusable workflow (python-sbom.yml) is described as uploading SARIF in a header comment, but the caller doesn't pass an explicitupload-sarifinput either way; left untouched for the same reason.docs/audit/2026-05-29/**(dated audit records): untouched.What actually runs for security now
Bandit, pip-audit, and OSV-Scanner (via
security-analysis.yml's reusable workflow inputsrun-bandit/run-osv), Trivy (container-security.yml, sbom.yml), OpenSSF Scorecard, TruffleHog + detect-secrets (pre-commit), and ClusterFuzzLite continuous fuzzing (results now archived as a workflow artifact rather than uploaded to the Security tab).Verification
