linebreak-gate — the LineBreak security gate at the git/CI boundary
A real pull request, blocked for real: the gate is arequired check, so the merge button goes gray until the CVE is fixed or a named human records an override.

A real recording, no mock: the scan blocks a critical CVE fail-closed, the pin gets fixed, the gate opens.
The spec loop: a named human approves the criteria,checkblocks until the manual criterion carries a sign-off, then everything passes.
Blocks merges that carry known vulnerabilities. One tool, two detectors —dependency scanning is free; the AI review is the Pro upgrade:
The gateblocks and can propose; it never auto-clears on an agent's say-so. A human approves the fix or records an override — with a reason and an approver — in a git-committed audit file.
This is the same scanner core that powers the rest of LineBreak's in-product security gate (the desktop backend imports this package), but it is fully standalone: a team that has never touched anything else from LineBreak can add the gate to their repo and get real enforcement.

Bug reports and feature requests: open an issue or discussion here; we read everything. Direct PRs to this repo can't be merged (releases flow through our review pipeline), so start with an issue and we'll take it from there.

The action runslinebreak-gate scan, always runsreport, postsonePR comment (updated in place on every push, never spammed), uploads the JSON report + audit artifacts as a workflow artifact, and fails the check per the scan's exit code.
Make it a real boundary: require the check
A CI job that can be ignored is a dashboard, not a gate. In your repo:
Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules → your default branch → "Require status checks to pass before merging"→ add thegatejob (the name of the job that runs this action). From then on a PR carrying a critical CVE cannot be merged through the GitHub UI.
