QP15 CI Workflows Presence
What this means
SiteShadow flagged missing CI workflow definitions (or missing evidence that CI is running). Without workflows, tests and security checks often run inconsistently or not at all.
Why it matters
Without CI workflows, tests and security checks may not run.
- Regressions land unnoticed because nothing enforces checks on PRs.
- Security gates are missing (dependency scanning, secret scanning, linting).
- Slower releases because validation is manual.
Safer examples
1) Add CI workflows for your stack
Run tests, linting, and basic security checks on every PR and on main.
2) Fail builds on broken checks
Treat failures as blockers; don't "greenwash" by making checks optional.
3) Keep CI fast and deterministic
Cache dependencies and pin tool versions so CI remains reliable.
How SiteShadow detects it (high level)
- Detects absence of common CI workflow files/configuration.
- Flags repos where automated validation signals are missing.
