Poem

🐰 A template arrives, so neat and so fine,
With checklists to guide every merge and design,
CodeQL watches from the workflow's grand hall,
Security scanning for code great and small! 🔒✨

Title check ❓ Inconclusive The PR title 'security checklist' is vague and doesn't clearly describe the main changes, which include adding a PR template and a security scan workflow. Consider using a more descriptive title that clearly summarizes the primary changes, such as 'Add PR template and security scan workflow' or 'Establish security review processes with template and CodeQL'.

This pull request sets up GitHub code scanning for this repository. Once the scans have completed and the checks have passed, the analysis results for this pull request branch will appear on this overview. Once you merge this pull request, the 'Security' tab will show more code scanning analysis results (for example, for the default branch). Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results. For more information about GitHub code scanning, check out the documentation.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md (2)

1-27: Consider adding a PR description section at the top.

The template jumps straight into checklists but lacks a section for the author to describe what the PR does and why. A brief description section (e.g., summary, linked issue/ticket, type of change) at the top helps reviewers understand context before going through the checklist.

Example addition at the top:

+## 📝 Description
+<!-- Briefly describe what this PR does and why. Link any related issues. -->
+
+## 🔗 Related Issue
+<!-- e.g., Fixes `#123` -->
+
 ## 🛡️ Security Checklist

27-27: Minor: Missing trailing newline at end of file.

.github/workflows/security-scan.yml (1)

17-18: Consider pinning actions to commit SHAs for supply-chain security.

Using mutable tags (@v4, @v3) for GitHub Actions is convenient but vulnerable to tag hijacking. For a security-focused workflow, pinning to full commit SHAs is the recommended hardening practice.

Also applies to: 20-21, 25-26

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add a push trigger on master for CodeQL baseline results.

CodeQL needs to run on pushes to the default branch to populate the Security tab and establish a baseline for PR comparisons. Without this, PR scans may produce incomplete or noisy results.

Proposed fix
 on:
+  push:
+    branches: [ "master" ]
   pull_request:
     branches: [ "master" ]

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Remove the misleading placeholder comment from the language setting.

The repository is a pure JavaScript project (package.json with only JavaScript files). The languages: 'javascript' setting is correct and not a placeholder. The comment "Change to your language (python, go, etc.)" is misleading and should be removed.

The autobuild step is optional for JavaScript-only projects without build processes. Since this repo has no build scripts, autobuild is not necessary for the CodeQL analysis to function correctly. It would only be required if compiled languages (Python, Go, C++, etc.) are added in the future.
