chore: refactor workflows for improved parallelization #303
Conversation
Split reusable workflows into parallel jobs and consolidate build/version: **Reusable Workflows:** - reusable-security.yml: Split into parallel jobs (audit, codeql, osv-scan, sbom) - reusable-validate.yml: Split into parallel jobs (test, lint) with optional changeset validation **Main Workflow:** - Consolidate build-once + version jobs into single 'build' job - Update all job dependencies to reference 'build' instead of 'build-once' and 'version' - Add version/tag outputs to build job for downstream consumption **PR Workflow:** - Simplify status checks to validate, security, docker (removed redundant checks) - Update comments to reflect new parallel job structure This improves CI performance by running independent checks concurrently. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Changing SONAR_TOKEN from required: false to required: true is a breaking change that could cause existing workflows to fail if they don't provide this secret. Consider keeping it optional or documenting this breaking change.

The OSV scanner action is now called directly in the osv-scan job, but the previous implementation had error handling with || true to prevent failures. The reusable workflow may not have the same failure handling, potentially causing the job to fail when vulnerabilities are found.

The --check-only flag was removed from the version script call, but the comment on line 130 still says 'Only checks for version changes, doesn't update files'. This creates a mismatch between the comment and the actual behavior.

This pull request sets up GitHub code scanning for this repository. Once the scans have completed and the checks have passed, the analysis results for this pull request branch will appear on this overview. Once you merge this pull request, the 'Security' tab will show more code scanning analysis results (for example, for the default branch). Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results. For more information about GitHub code scanning, check out the documentation. |
Add a table-format Trivy scan step that outputs to console logs before the SARIF scan. This makes vulnerability findings visible in GitHub Actions logs without requiring navigation to the Security tab. The console scan doesn't fail the build - only the SARIF scan does. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

[nitpick] The osv-scan job uses a different reusable workflow pattern compared to the other jobs in this file. Consider maintaining consistency by implementing OSV scanning as steps within a job, similar to the audit and codeql jobs.

The permissions block should be defined at the workflow level rather than within a job that uses an external reusable workflow. Move these permissions to the top-level permissions section of the calling workflow.

Switch from SARIF to table format to make vulnerability details visible in GitHub Actions logs for easier debugging. This temporarily disables SARIF upload to GitHub Security tab in favor of immediate visibility. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
This reverts commit 102e51d.
Modified reusable-docker.yml to always upload SARIF results to GitHub Security even when vulnerabilities are found. The workflow now: - Runs Trivy scan with continue-on-error to prevent immediate failure - Uploads SARIF results (always runs via if: always() condition) - Fails the workflow after upload if vulnerabilities were detected This ensures the Security tab receives vulnerability data while maintaining the security gate that prevents builds with critical/high vulnerabilities. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Added artifact upload step for trivy-results.sarif to enable debugging and inspection of vulnerability scan results. The artifact: - Is uploaded with event-specific naming (e.g., trivy-results-pull_request-SHA) - Uses retention of 7 days - Always uploads via if: always() condition - Complements the existing GitHub Security upload This allows developers to download and inspect the raw SARIF file without needing to view it only in the Security tab. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Removed the duplicate Trivy console output scan step. The workflow now: - Runs a single Trivy scan that generates SARIF output - Uses continue-on-error to prevent immediate failure - Uploads SARIF to GitHub Security (always runs) - Uploads SARIF as downloadable artifact (always runs) - Fails the workflow after uploads if vulnerabilities were found This eliminates redundancy while maintaining the same security gate and improving workflow efficiency. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Using 'continue-on-error: true' could mask critical security vulnerabilities. While the workflow later fails in a separate step, this pattern could be bypassed if the later step is modified or removed.

Simplified the Trivy vulnerability scanning workflow by: - Removing continue-on-error and manual failure checking - Letting Trivy action fail naturally if vulnerabilities found - Keeping if: always() on uploads to ensure SARIF reaches GitHub Security - Removing redundant exit-code and step ID configurations This cleaner pattern follows the recommended approach from Trivy documentation and reduces workflow complexity while maintaining the same security guarantees. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Enhanced Trivy vulnerability scanning to include: - Explicit exit-code: '1' to fail on vulnerabilities - Multiple scanner types: vulnerabilities, secrets, misconfigurations, licenses - Latest Trivy version for up-to-date vulnerability database This provides more comprehensive security coverage beyond just vulnerability scanning, including secret detection, configuration issues, and license compliance. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

The OSV scanner version is hardcoded here but the comment in the original workflow mentioned checking quarterly for new versions. Consider using a workflow input parameter to make version updates easier to manage.

Simplified the Trivy SARIF artifact name from:
trivy-results-{event_name}-{sha}
to:
trivy-{sha}
This is cleaner and still provides unique identification via the
commit SHA, which is the most important identifier for tracking
scan results.

Added debugging configuration to Trivy scan: - Set hide-progress: false to show scan progress in logs - Set TRIVY_DEBUG: 'true' environment variable for detailed debugging This will help diagnose why the scan is reporting findings when the SARIF file shows only MEDIUM/LOW severity vulnerabilities. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Changed Trivy configuration to set ignore-unfixed: true, which means: - Only report vulnerabilities that have available fixes - Ignore vulnerabilities without fixes (not actionable) - Still scan for CRITICAL,HIGH severity issues - Still run all scanners (vuln,secret,misconfig,license) This prevents build failures for vulnerabilities that cannot be fixed and focuses attention on actionable security issues. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Changed Trivy severity filter from CRITICAL,HIGH to all severities. Now the build will fail on ANY fixable vulnerability, ensuring all security issues with available fixes are addressed. Configuration: - severity: UNKNOWN,LOW,MEDIUM,HIGH,CRITICAL (all severities) - ignore-unfixed: true (only fixable vulnerabilities) - exit-code: 1 (fail on any findings) This ensures comprehensive security coverage while remaining actionable. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Scanning for UNKNOWN and LOW severity vulnerabilities while setting exit-code to '1' may cause builds to fail unnecessarily. Consider limiting severity to 'MEDIUM,HIGH,CRITICAL' or using ignore-unfixed appropriately.
