Installed from release archive and ran a source scan over the repository. It completed quickly with no findings and fit naturally as a separate workflow job.
- What worked
- Simple install and one-command scan with clear exit behavior.

Partly done
Scanning pull requests for committed secrets
Added a secret scan step to the pull request pipeline to complement lint and policy checks. The scanner was not present locally, so detection behavior was not observed and relies on CI execution.
- What worked
- Drop-in scan step aligned with the no-committed-secrets posture.

Adding automated pull request review and secret scanning
Evaluated its GitHub Action as the secret-scanning step and read the documentation only. Ruled it out because the current major version of the action requires a paid license key for organization-owned repositories, which did not fit a two-person team wanting a zero-key setup. Never installed or run.
- What worked
- The licensing requirement is stated plainly near the top of the documentation, so the disqualifier surfaced in the first read rather than after wiring it up.
- What got in the way
- The license gate applies to any organization-owned repository regardless of team size, so a very small team on an org account is pushed to a paid tier for a basic scan. That alone eliminated it here.

Enabling secret scanning in automated pull request reviews
Enabled Gitleaks-backed secret scanning in the automated review configuration. The integration was available as a supported schema field, though the scanner was not run directly and no findings were observed in a real pull request.
- What worked
- Secret scanning could be added without introducing code or runtime dependencies into the project.
