feat: a check run for the findings, and a report that opens on the number

[HugoRCD]

Findings now go out as a check run named evlog map on the pull request's head commit, with the report as its summary. The Checks API has no per-level cap, lists the run under its own name rather than the job's, and is what both the diff view and the Checks tab draw. Without checks: write (forks, restricted workflow permissions) the same findings are printed as workflow commands, capped at limit per package, as before. The findings are built from the CLI's JSON (findings.mjs, mirroring formats.ts), so the action runs the CLI once per package instead of twice.

The comment opens on the number and lets GitHub carry the colour:

• ### Observability score · 56, then a [!CAUTION] block with the verdict and each regression (lost \audit` (100 → 75), linked into the diff), a [!TIP]` block when something was fixed and nothing failed, or a plain line.
• The package table only for a monorepo; a single package gets its counts on one line.
• A [!NOTE] with the min-score to adopt when none is set.
• Fix first collapsed when there is a regression, open otherwise.
• One-line footer.

The job summary adds one table per package: every entry point, its score, the movement against the base, and the result of each check.

test.yml grants checks: write; the gate-only jobs stop drawing annotations so the pull request carries one check run, the baseline job's.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added GitHub check runs with findings attached, including support for large result sets. When check-run access is unavailable, findings appear as workflow annotations instead.
  • Reports now highlight the lowest score, baseline changes, regressions and fixes, with per-entry-point results in job summaries and richer pull-request comments.
• Documentation
  • Clarified required permissions, annotation limits, fallback behavior and report contents.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The action now publishes baseline-aware findings through GitHub check runs or workflow-command annotations. It also renders updated reports and per-entry-point job summaries, with documentation and tests for the new outputs.

Changes

Action Reporting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Baseline-aware findings src/lib/baseline.mjs, src/lib/findings.mjs, src/main.mjs, test/baseline.test.mjs, test/findings.test.mjs	Baseline scans now return the parsed route-score map with the baseline file. Findings represent prioritized failures as warnings without a baseline and regressions as failures with a baseline.
Check-run and workflow-command delivery src/lib/github.mjs, src/lib/checks.mjs, src/lib/comment.mjs, src/main.mjs, .github/workflows/test.yml, action.yml, README.md, test/checks.test.mjs	The action creates completed check runs and sends annotations in batches of up to 50. When check-run creation is skipped or fails, it prints workflow-command findings. The workflow, action metadata, and documentation describe the required permissions and fallback.
Report, summary, and action wiring src/lib/report.mjs, src/main.mjs, test/report.test.mjs, AGENTS.md, README.md, action.yml	Reports now include score headlines, baseline changes, package or entry-point details, and links. Job summaries include per-entry-point check results. The action passes rendered output and findings to the reporting and annotation paths.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 28701

A transient check-run request failure can fail the action and leave findings unpublished instead of using the documented fallback. Handle rejected requests before merging if that fallback must remain reliable.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 28701

The new reporting capability grants check-writing authority to jobs that do not publish checks. It can also leave a completed check with incomplete annotations after delivery fails. The scan’s pass/fail decision remains independent of annotation delivery, and scanned content does not select the authenticated API destination.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The new workflow-wide checks: write grant expands repository check authority beyond the publishing job. Jobs execute checked-out tests or the local action, and scanner subprocesses inherit the action token environment. Where write permissions are effective, compromised execution in these jobs gains check-writing capability despite not needing it. This expands an existing code/token trust boundary rather than introducing the execution boundary itself.
• Low · reliability · observed: The new publisher creates a completed check with only the first annotation batch before delivering subsequent batches. A later HTTP failure, interruption, or rejected request can leave that completed check incomplete without reconciliation. Resolved failures receive bounded workflow-command fallback, but rejected requests bypass it. This weakens recovery and completeness of evidence about checks such as audit logging; it does not demonstrate a scan-gate bypass.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — With the default workflow token, the added authority concerns repository Check Runs. Exploiting the broader grant requires execution in a job whose token actually has write permission; a malicious route name or finding message alone does not provide that authority. Fork-token policy and branch-protection consequences remain unverified.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The supported authority-expansion path is compromised checked-out code or scanner execution accessing a write-capable token and using its newly granted check authority. The subprocess environment coupling predates the PR; the checks permission is the introduced change. No exploitation or required-check bypass was demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Repository, API host, and commit identity come from runner/event context. Scan-derived fields populate JSON report and annotation data, not the authenticated destination or token selector.
• observed — The new workflow-command encoder escapes percent signs and line breaks in finding messages, with additional property escaping. Gate conclusions depend on aggregate scanner exit results, not successful annotation publication.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Returned API failures trigger fallback limited per package, with omitted findings counted. Rejected requests instead reach the outer action error handler, without fallback or repair of any already-created check. This affects reporting failure containment, while leaving the scan-derived conclusion unchanged.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Grant checks: write only to the publishing job, leaving non-publishing jobs without the added capability.
• proposed — Model publication as an explicit lifecycle: retain an incomplete state during batching, finalize only after delivery, and define reconciliation and fallback for rejected requests, interruption, and partial failure.
