This was pointed out by @fcasal: the current model assumes that all locations are equal, while SARIF distinguishes between "primary" locations (i.e. those in
locations) and "secondary" locations (i.e. those inrelatedLocations). This is especially relevant for SARIF presentation tools like GH itself, which assume thatlocationsonly contains a single member.This tweaks our models and updates all audits to emit a "primary" location for the most salient part of each finding. The salient part of each finding is subjective.
This should improve the presentation quality for our SARIF outputs. One downside to this approach is that every audit needs to explicitly annotate a primary location.
Fixes #66.
