.github/workflows/code-review.yml

• [High]Pin the exact version of ai-codewise dependency, rather than using a branch or a tag
  Using a branch or a tag as a reference for a dependency can lead to unintended upgrades or regressions and introduce security risks. Replace "uses: step-security/ai-codewise@ab9fe13 # int" with "uses: step-security/ai-codewise@{version}" where "version" is a specific version number of ai-codewise dependency that has been tested and verified to be compatible with the code.
• [High]Add a step to configure Git with a personal access token (PAT) and use it for authentication
  Using a PAT as authentication for Git operations provides an extra layer of security by avoiding the use of passwords or SSH keys that can be easily compromised. Add a shell script step to configure Git with a PAT provided as an environment variable and use it for Git operations. For example:

echo "machine git.example.com" >> ~/.netrc 
echo "  login $GITHUB_USERNAME" >> ~/.netrc 
echo "  password $GITHUB_TOKEN" >> ~/.netrc 

• [Medium]Enable Git LFS (Large File Storage) to manage large and binary files
  Without Git LFS, large and binary files are stored directly in Git repositories, which can cause performance issues, increase storage requirements, and make it harder to collaborate on the files. Add a step to enable Git LFS and configure it to track large and binary files. For example:

- name: Enable Git LFS
  run: |
    git lfs install &&
    git lfs track "*.mp4" &&
    git add .gitattributes

• [Medium]Enable branch protection and require pull request reviews before merging code changes
  Without branch protection and pull request reviews, unauthorized or faulty code changes can be merged into the repository, which can introduce security vulnerabilities and cause downtime. Configure branch protection rules in the repository settings to require pull request reviews before merging code changes. For example:

• Require pull request reviews before merging

• Require review from Code Owners

• Dismiss stale pull request approvals when changes are pushed

• Require linear history

• Restrict who can push to matching branches

• [Medium]Enable automated code scanning to detect security vulnerabilities and coding errors
  Automated code scanning provides a way to detect and fix security vulnerabilities and coding errors early in the development process, reducing the risk and cost of fixing them later. Add a step to run an automated code scanning tool that analyzes the code for security vulnerabilities and coding errors. For example, use the GitHub-native code scanning feature to run a code scanning action that integrates with third-party security scanners and generates actionable alerts.

- name: Code Scanning
  uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@v1

• [Low]Add a step to run unit tests and code coverage analysis before deployment
  Unit tests and code coverage analysis help ensure the correctness and quality of the code, reducing the risk of bugs and security vulnerabilities in production. Add a step to run unit tests and code coverage analysis using a testing framework that is suitable for the programming language and ecosystem used by the code. For example, use jest to test and generate code coverage report for a JavaScript application:

- name: Run Tests
  run: jest --coverage

• [Low]Add a step to check and format the code syntax and style before committing
  Code syntax and style consistency make the code easier to read, understand, and maintain, increasing the productivity and quality of the development process. Add a step to check and format the code syntax and style using a linter and formatter that enforce a common coding standard for the programming language and ecosystem used by the code. For example, use ESLint and Prettier to lint and format a JavaScript application:

- name: Lint and Format
  run: |
    npx eslint .
    npx prettier . --check
