Code Review
The pull request aims to ensure that Semgrep always returns true, preventing PRs from being blocked. While the intention is clear, the implementation raises concerns about masking potential issues detected by Semgrep. This review focuses on the implications of this change and suggests alternative approaches to achieve the desired outcome without compromising the integrity of the Semgrep analysis.
Summary of Findings
- Masking Semgrep Results: The change effectively disables Semgrep's ability to block PRs based on detected issues. This could lead to the introduction of vulnerabilities or code quality problems into the codebase.
- Alternative Approaches: Consider alternative strategies to prevent Semgrep from blocking PRs, such as adjusting Semgrep's configuration or addressing the underlying issues that cause Semgrep to fail.
Merge Readiness
This pull request should not be merged in its current state. While the goal of preventing PRs from being blocked is understandable, the current implementation masks potential issues detected by Semgrep. It is recommended to explore alternative approaches that address the root cause of the problem without compromising the integrity of the Semgrep analysis. I am unable to approve this pull request, and other reviewers should carefully consider the implications of this change before merging.
