security: re-pin secret scanner onto the real gitleaks gate#43
Merged
Conversation
The caller pinned standards' secret-scanner-reusable at @d135b05 (2026-06-24), which is 64 commits behind standards#500. At that pin the gitleaks step carries `continue-on-error: true` — the scan runs, reports success, and cannot fail. This repo's Secret Scanner has therefore been green while being incapable of failing. Re-pinned to @c65436ee, which contains #500: gitleaks now runs as a pinned, checksum-verified binary with `--exit-code 1` and gates for real. Also narrowed the caller's grant to `contents: read`. The new reusable invokes a binary rather than gitleaks-action, so it no longer requests `pull-requests: write` / `actions: read`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
