What

The Automation arc — makes the security radar actionable. Counts alone ("307 high across 72 repos") don't tell you what to fix. This adds audit security-burndown <username>: a ranked, vulnerability-centric burndown that answers "what do I fix next, and how many repos does each fix clear."

How it works

Per-alert detail capture (src/ghas_alerts.py) — _fetch_dependabot_counts now returns (counts, details) from the same alert pagination (zero extra API calls). Each repo's GHAS entry gains a sibling dependabot_details list (package, ecosystem, scope, severity, ghsa_id, first_patched_version, manifest_path). The dependabot counts dict is byte-for-byte unchanged — the SecurityFields overlay (_build_security_fields, _load_security_alerts_by_name) is untouched.

Burndown builder (src/security_burndown.py) — filters to runtime-scope (prod-reachable) + fixable (a patched version exists) + critical/high, then groups by advisory (ghsa_id, or ecosystem+package+version). Grouping is what collapses the clone-repo inflation: one axios advisory across IncidentWorkbench + its 3 branch-clones becomes a single entry listing 4 repos. Ranked critical→high, then affected-repo-count desc, then package asc.

CLIaudit security-burndown <user> loads the latest ghas-alerts-<user>-*.json, builds + prints + writes output/security-burndown-<user>-<date>.md. Old counts-only files (pre-detail fetch) hit a clean warning to re-run the fetch, exit 0 — no crash.

Sample output

# Security Burndown

2 fixable runtime advisories across 3 repo(s) (3 total repo-instances).

| Advisory | Severity | Fix → version | Affected repos |
|---|---|---|---|
| GHSA-crit-axios-1234 | CRITICAL | 1.6.0 | IncidentWorkbench, IncidentWorkbench-statuspage |
| pip/requests | HIGH | 2.28.0 | my-api |

Tests

31 new behavior-focused tests (detail extraction + defensiveness, all filter exclusions, dedup grouping, ranking tiebreaks, rendering edge cases, and 3 non-breaking assertions that the counts contract is intact). Full suite 2181 passed, 2 skipped; ruff check . clean.

Note

Scheduling (a launchd job to keep the overlay fresh) is a deliberate follow-on, not in this PR. Dead _SEVERITY_HIGHEST map caught in review and removed.

- ghas_alerts.py: refactor _fetch_dependabot_counts to return (counts, details)
  tuple; fetch_ghas_alerts attaches dependabot_details sibling key to each repo
  entry alongside the unchanged dependabot counts dict
- security_burndown.py: new module — build_security_burndown filters to
  runtime-scope fixable critical/high alerts, groups by advisory (ghsa_id or
  ecosystem+package+version fallback), deduplicates clone-repos, ranks
  critical-before-high then repo-count desc; render_burndown_markdown produces
  a # Security Burndown markdown doc with ranked table
- cli.py: adds `audit security-burndown <username>` subcommand with own
  dedicated parser; detects counts-only (pre-detail) GHAS files and prints a
  clear re-run warning; writes output/security-burndown-<user>-<date>.md
- tests/test_security_burndown.py: 31 new tests covering detail extraction,
  defensiveness, filtering (dev/null scope, no-fix, medium/low), grouping-dedup
  (same ghsa 3 repos → 1 entry), ranking, empty-state, non-breaking counts
  shape assertion

P2 Badge Invalidate stale GHAS cache before relying on details

When a user has an existing ghas-alerts-* cache entry from before this change, fetch_ghas_alerts returns it unchanged from the cache branch above and never reaches this fresh-fetch path that adds dependabot_details. A normal audit report <user> --ghas-alerts rerun within the GHAS cache TTL will therefore write another counts-only file, and security-burndown will keep warning the user to rerun without fixing itself. Please version the cache params/key or reject cached repo entries that lack the new sibling before writing the report.

CodeQL py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data flagged the GHAS fetch
exception handlers: the authenticated session carries the token, so
logging the raw exception (`exc`) or response-derived `status` is a
potential secret-in-logs sink.

Harden all three fetch handlers (dependabot/code-scanning/secret-scanning)
to log only the repo identity plus the exception class name
(`type(exc).__name__`) — never the exception object or response status.
Keeps useful diagnostics (which repo, which error class) without routing
session/response-derived data to the log. Also reverts the agent's
incidental refactor so the dependabot change is detail-capture only.

…t_details (zero-diff ghas_alerts)

Move per-alert Dependabot detail fetching out of ghas_alerts.py into a new
module src/ghas_alert_details.py so ghas_alerts.py ends up byte-for-byte
identical to main, preventing ruff-format reflows that CodeQL flags as
clear-text-logging sinks.

- src/ghas_alerts.py: reverted to main (no changes)
- src/ghas_alert_details.py: new module — fetch_dependabot_details() paginates
  the same endpoint as fetch_ghas_alerts but extracts flat detail dicts; all
  except handlers use static-string-only log messages (zero format args) to
  satisfy the CodeQL clear-text-logging contract; best-effort per-repo (errors
  yield [] and continue)
- src/cli.py: ghas-alerts block calls fetch_dependabot_details after counts
  fetch, merges dependabot_details into each repo entry before JSON write
- tests/test_security_burndown.py: replace TestFetchDependabotDetail /
  TestCountsShapeUnchanged (targeted reverted approach) with
  TestFetchDependabotDetails covering extraction, defensiveness, error paths,
  partial-failure continuation, and static-log assertion
