5 hours ago

Phase 1 of a 'serious project' trust-signal pass. Three atomic CI/docs commits, no runtime behaviour change.

What landed

  • OSSF Scorecard workflow (.github/workflows/scorecard.yml): runs ossf/scorecard-action on every main push, weekly cron, and manual dispatch. Publishes to scorecard.dev so the README badge renders the live score. SARIF uploaded to the Security tab. Permissions scoped per-job; workflow default stays read-all.
  • CodeQL SAST workflow (.github/workflows/codeql.yml): analyses python and javascript on every main push + PR + weekly cron. Uses the security-extended query suite. Findings land in the Security tab.
  • README badges: CodeQL, OSSF Scorecard, Codecov. The CI workflow already uploaded coverage via codecov/codecov-action@v3 - the badge surfaces a number that was already being computed but invisible.

Out of scope (Phase 2)

SLSA Provenance Level 3 on the Docker images pushed by docker-multiplatform.yml. Deferred to its own PR.

Follow-ups for the Scorecard score

Initial score will likely sit around 6-7/10. Known gaps the workflow will flag:

  • Pinned-Dependencies: action versions pinned to major tags (@v4, @v3), not SHAs. Tightening to SHA is the biggest single uplift.
  • Branch-Protection: main has no required reviews / required status checks at the repo level.
  • Token-Permissions: pre-existing workflows (ci.yml, docker-multiplatform.yml) don't declare permissions: blocks. New workflows in this PR do.

These are tracked separately and not blocking - the workflow lands first so we have a baseline measurement.

Closes #195.
