feat(security): add gitleaks secret scanning — this repo had none
An estate-wide audit of secret-scanning coverage found this repository has no
leak detection of any kind: no gitleaks, no trufflehog, nothing.
Measured across all 424 repositories: 170 had gitleaks, 73 had gitleaks plus a
leftover trufflehog step, 33 had trufflehog only, and 88 — this one among them
— had nothing at all.
Adds a caller of the estate's shared secret-scanner reusable, which runs
gitleaks over the whole working tree with --no-git and exits non-zero on a
finding, alongside its rust-secrets and shell-secrets jobs.
Two details that would fail silently if left out:
- `secrets: inherit` is REQUIRED. Without it the gitleaks action's inner
secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN is empty and the scan degrades quietly — passing
while checking less, which is the failure this campaign exists to remove.
- Where an actions.lock exists it gains a hand-authored [] entry for this
file. gh actions-lock SKIPS reusable-workflow callers, so without it the
workflow is rejected as startup_failure with no log and no check run.
Expect findings. A first run on a repository that has never been scanned may
surface real secrets, and any it finds have been exposed for as long as they
have been committed. Treat a red first run as information, not as a fault in
this change — and rotate anything it names rather than only deleting it.
The sweep re-verified from this checkout that no scanner already existed
before writing, rather than trusting the audit that selected the repo.
