Description
Two repository settings are off, and one of them is the only lever that moves the community profile from 87% to 100%.
- Dependabot security updates:
disabled..github/dependabot.yml(chore: add community-health files for contributor intake #964) configures version updates, which is a different feature. With security updates off, a dependency advisory does not open a pull request by itself; the project relies ontools/check_pip_audit.pyand the nightly CVE job to notice, and on a human to act. Turning this on makes the advisory itself the trigger. It is the setting that turns "a known advisory is visible" into "a fix is proposed". - Content reports:
content_reports_enabled: false. Decide whether the repository accepts abuse reports through GitHub. This is the single remaining item in GitHub's community-profile checklist, so it is also what stands between 87% and 100%.
Neither is a code change; both are settings on the repository, which is why they are recorded here rather than carried in a pull request.
Acceptance criteria
- Dependabot security updates are enabled, or the issue records why a CVE would be handled by hand instead.
- The content-report decision is made, and if it is "no", this issue is closed with that reason rather than left open.
- Whichever way each goes,
docs/reference/supply_chain_security.mddescribes the resulting pipeline accurately.
