chore(ci): remove GitHub Advanced Security dependent CI - #62
Conversation
GitHub now bills Advanced Security (Code Security); CodeQL code scanning and the dependency-review action no longer function. - Remove .github/workflows/codeql.yml - Remove .github/workflows/dependency-review.yml - Update security-analysis.yml's header comment, which claimed CodeQL and dependency review were covered by the now-removed workflows - Add a CHANGELOG [Unreleased] > Removed entry No github/codeql-action/upload-sarif steps exist directly in this repo's workflows (security-analysis.yml already uses plain actions/upload-artifact for its Bandit/OSV-Scanner reports, so no replacement was needed there). scorecard.yml and sbom.yml pass upload-sarif/config inputs to org-level reusable workflows in ByronWilliamsCPA/.github and are left untouched pending a separate coordinated change to that shared workflow.
WalkthroughThe PR deletes the CodeQL and dependency-review workflows. It updates the security workflow comment and changelog to record the removal and confirm that Bandit and OSV-Scanner remain active. ChangesSecurity workflow removal
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change removes unavailable security scans as intended, but the workflow documentation still describes those scans as active. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness or a follow-up update to keep the documented security checks accurate. Suggested labels: Suggested reviewers: Poem

Update the workflow documentation in the same change.
.github/workflows/README.md still lists CodeQL and dependency review under security-analysis.yml. After these workflows were removed, that page states that removed scans still run. Update the documented scan list to match this header.

🟡 Changes recommended
Repository documentation still advertises CodeQL/dependency review (and the org reusable security workflow) as active, which is now inconsistent with the CI configuration after these removals.

Summary
GitHub now bills Advanced Security (Code Security). CodeQL code scanning and
GitHub's
dependency-reviewaction no longer function on this repo. This PRremoves them.
Changes
.github/workflows/codeql.yml.github/workflows/dependency-review.ymlsecurity-analysis.yml: updated the header comment, which explicitlyclaimed "CodeQL and dependency review are covered by codeql.yml and
dependency-review.yml respectively" (now false with those files gone).
Bandit and OSV-Scanner in this workflow are unaffected and continue to
run standalone (this workflow already does not call the org
python-security-analysis.ymlreusable workflow due to a pre-existingstartup_failure, per the existing comment).CHANGELOG.md[Unreleased] > RemovedentryExplicitly out of scope (left untouched)
github/codeql-action/upload-sarifsteps exist directly in this repo'sworkflows.
security-analysis.ymlalready publishes its Bandit andOSV-Scanner JSON reports via a plain
actions/upload-artifactstep, so noreplacement was needed.
scorecard.ymlandsbom.ymlpassupload-sarif: true/ SARIF-relatedconfig to org-level reusable workflows (
python-scorecard.yml,python-sbom.yml) inByronWilliamsCPA/.github. Left untouched pending aseparate coordinated change to that shared workflow, consistent with the
run-codeql/run-dependency-reviewcarve-out used in the other repos inthis sweep (this repo's
security-analysis.ymldoesn't use that reusableworkflow at all, so there was no such input line here to preserve).
Verification
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(...)"passes on every remainingworkflow file.
