- Line 11: Update the human-readable "Last Updated" line to match the
frontmatter last_run timestamp; find the textual line "**Last Updated:**
2026-04-13" in agents/docs/state.md and change it to the same ISO date (or
formatted date) used by the frontmatter `last_run: 2026-04-19T00:00:00Z` so both
fields are synchronized (e.g., set "Last Updated" to 2026-04-19 or to a matching
formatted representation of the `last_run` value).
In `@agents/security/scans/2026-04-17-scanner.json`:
- Around line 1-18: The failure occurs because something invokes a non-existent
CommonJS file agents/security/tools/scanner.js instead of running the TypeScript
script agents/security/tools/scan.ts; update the agent execution path so the
launcher uses the npm script ("security"/"security:save") or directly runs "npx
tsx agents/security/tools/scan.ts" (or else ensure a built scanner.js is emitted
and placed at agents/security/tools/scanner.js). Search for any invoker in the
agent framework (agent launcher/runner), container entrypoint scripts, CI
workflow files, and cron job definitions that reference "scanner.js" or call
node on that path and change them to call the package.json script or the tsx
command, or update build/packaging steps to produce scanner.js so the existing
node invocation will succeed. Ensure references to scan.ts, scanner.js, and the
npm script names are consistent.

Critical: Security scanner invocation failure — verify agent execution mechanism.
The 2026-04-17 security scan failed with: "Cannot find module '/opt/herdctl/agents/security/tools/scanner.js'". The scanner is implemented as scan.ts (not scanner.js) and must be executed via npx tsx agents/security/tools/scan.ts.
The npm scripts in package.json are correctly configured:
"security": "npx tsx agents/security/tools/scan.ts""security:save": "npx tsx agents/security/tools/scan.ts --save"
However, something in the agent execution environment is attempting to invoke scanner.js as a CommonJS module via direct node execution. The error path (/opt/herdctl/agents/security/tools/scanner.js) suggests this is coming from within a container or automated environment.
The 2026-04-17 security scan produced no valid output, leaving a potential security blind spot. Check:
- Agent framework execution code for how it invokes security tools
- Container entrypoints or initialization scripts
- GitHub Actions or CI/CD workflows that may have hardcoded references
- Cron job definitions that invoke the scanner

Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed.
In `@agents/security/scans/2026-04-17-scanner.json` around lines 1 - 18, The
failure occurs because something invokes a non-existent CommonJS file
agents/security/tools/scanner.js instead of running the TypeScript script
agents/security/tools/scan.ts; update the agent execution path so the launcher
uses the npm script ("security"/"security:save") or directly runs "npx tsx
agents/security/tools/scan.ts" (or else ensure a built scanner.js is emitted and
placed at agents/security/tools/scanner.js). Search for any invoker in the agent
framework (agent launcher/runner), container entrypoint scripts, CI workflow
files, and cron job definitions that reference "scanner.js" or call node on that
path and change them to call the package.json script or the tsx command, or
update build/packaging steps to produce scanner.js so the existing node
invocation will succeed. Ensure references to scan.ts, scanner.js, and the npm
script names are consistent.
