ci(security): skip deps gate on Dependabot-triggered runs#511
Merged
Conversation
Dependabot-triggered workflow runs execute in a restricted context with no access to Actions secrets, so the App-token step (secrets.DEPS_BOT_APP_ID / DEPS_BOT_APP_PRIVATE_KEY) fails with an empty app-id and reddens every Dependabot PR. The gate only inspects main's Dependabot-alert state — alerts aren't computed per PR branch — so it is redundant on a PR regardless. Skip it when github.actor is dependabot[bot]; the push-to-main and daily schedule runs (which have secrets) continue to enforce it, and PR-introduced vulnerable deps are still covered by the required Dependency Review check.

The `install_vacuum.sh` bootstrap auto-detects the latest release; when that detection hiccups it builds a download URL with an empty version (.../download/v/vacuum_linux_x86_64_.tar.gz) and 404s, flaking the required OpenAPI Validation check (seen on #511). Download a pinned release asset directly instead so the step is deterministic.

Problem
The
Security Deps Gatefails on every Dependabot PR (e.g. #508). Dependabot-triggered workflow runs execute in a restricted context with no access to Actions secrets, so thecreate-github-app-tokenstep gets an emptyapp-idand errors:Fix
Skip the gate job when
github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]'. Rationale:Unblocks the clean merge of Dependabot PRs like #508 (gitleaks-action v2→v3).
