Normalise non-array panic-attack output before deposit.

When the output is valid non-array JSON, deposit-findings accepts it with jq empty, then .[] | . + {"scanner": "panic-attack"} can fail on error objects with string values. Replace non-array output with [], or enforce the array check in deposit-findings.

Handle the panic-attack report as an object.

panic-attack-findings.json contains findings in .weak_points[], with file, severity, and description fields. The workflow currently treats the report as a top-level array and compares capitalised severities with lower-case values. Counts, annotations, and the deposited report can therefore be incorrect. Update all panic-attack parsing and validation steps to use the actual schema.

GitHub Actions actions/download-artifact v4.1.8 if-no-artifact-found default error missing artifact and default step success() condition

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the actions/download-artifact action (including version v4.1.8) defaults to failing the workflow step if no matching artifacts are found [1]. Unlike v3, which would proceed silently with success in such scenarios, v4 introduced this behavior as a breaking change to ensure that missing dependencies are explicitly identified [1]. Regarding the if-no-artifact-found parameter: As of version v4.1.8, the official actions/download-artifact action does not support an if-no-artifact-found input parameter [2][3]. This parameter was not added to the official action until later versions [4]. To handle scenarios where artifacts might be missing while ensuring the workflow step remains successful, you can use the default step success condition combined with workflow logic. Because the default behavior in v4.1.8 is to fail the step, a common workaround for earlier v4 versions is to use continue-on-error: true and then check the step's outcome [1]. Alternatively, upgrading to a newer version of the action (e.g., v5 or higher) provides the if-no-artifact-found parameter directly, which accepts options such as 'error' (default), 'warn', and 'ignore' [4]. When using continue-on-error: true on an older v4 version, the step will continue to the next step even if the download fails; you can then use conditional logic (e.g., if: steps.my_step_id.outcome == 'success') in subsequent steps to proceed only if the artifact was successfully downloaded.

Citations:

Keep the Hypatia artefact available when the scan fails.

Run Hypatia scan exits before Upload hypatia findings, which uses the default success() condition. deposit-findings still runs and actions/download-artifact@v4.1.8 fails when hypatia-findings is missing. Run the upload when not cancelled and create a captured payload or [] before exiting.

Handle the panic-attack report as an object.
panic-attack-findings.json contains findings in .weak_points[], with file, severity, and description fields. The workflow currently treats the report as a top-level array and compares capitalised severities with lower-case values. Counts, annotations, and the deposited report can therefore be incorrect. Update all panic-attack parsing and validation steps to use the actual schema.

GitHub Actions actions/download-artifact v4.1.8 if-no-artifact-found default error missing artifact and default step success() condition
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the actions/download-artifact action (including version v4.1.8) defaults to failing the workflow step if no matching artifacts are found [1]. Unlike v3, which would proceed silently with success in such scenarios, v4 introduced this behavior as a breaking change to ensure that missing dependencies are explicitly identified [1]. Regarding the if-no-artifact-found parameter: As of version v4.1.8, the official actions/download-artifact action does not support an if-no-artifact-found input parameter [2][3]. This parameter was not added to the official action until later versions [4]. To handle scenarios where artifacts might be missing while ensuring the workflow step remains successful, you can use the default step success condition combined with workflow logic. Because the default behavior in v4.1.8 is to fail the step, a common workaround for earlier v4 versions is to use continue-on-error: true and then check the step's outcome [1]. Alternatively, upgrading to a newer version of the action (e.g., v5 or higher) provides the if-no-artifact-found parameter directly, which accepts options such as 'error' (default), 'warn', and 'ignore' [4]. When using continue-on-error: true on an older v4 version, the step will continue to the next step even if the download fails; you can then use conditional logic (e.g., if: steps.my_step_id.outcome == 'success') in subsequent steps to proceed only if the artifact was successfully downloaded.
Citations:
Keep the Hypatia artefact available when the scan fails.
Run Hypatia scan exits before Upload hypatia findings, which uses the default success() condition. deposit-findings still runs and actions/download-artifact@v4.1.8 fails when hypatia-findings is missing. Run the upload when not cancelled and create a captured payload or [] before exiting.

Normalise non-array panic-attack output before deposit.
When the output is valid non-array JSON, deposit-findings accepts it with jq empty, then .[] | . + {"scanner": "panic-attack"} can fail on error objects with string values. Replace non-array output with [], or enforce the array check in deposit-findings.

Normalise non-array panic-attack output before deposit.
When the output is valid non-array JSON, deposit-findings accepts it with jq empty, then .[] | . + {"scanner": "panic-attack"} can fail on error objects with string values. Replace non-array output with [], or enforce the array check in deposit-findings.

Handle the panic-attack report as an object.
panic-attack-findings.json contains findings in .weak_points[], with file, severity, and description fields. The workflow currently treats the report as a top-level array and compares capitalised severities with lower-case values. Counts, annotations, and the deposited report can therefore be incorrect. Update all panic-attack parsing and validation steps to use the actual schema.

GitHub Actions actions/download-artifact v4.1.8 if-no-artifact-found default error missing artifact and default step success() condition
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the actions/download-artifact action (including version v4.1.8) defaults to failing the workflow step if no matching artifacts are found [1]. Unlike v3, which would proceed silently with success in such scenarios, v4 introduced this behavior as a breaking change to ensure that missing dependencies are explicitly identified [1]. Regarding the if-no-artifact-found parameter: As of version v4.1.8, the official actions/download-artifact action does not support an if-no-artifact-found input parameter [2][3]. This parameter was not added to the official action until later versions [4]. To handle scenarios where artifacts might be missing while ensuring the workflow step remains successful, you can use the default step success condition combined with workflow logic. Because the default behavior in v4.1.8 is to fail the step, a common workaround for earlier v4 versions is to use continue-on-error: true and then check the step's outcome [1]. Alternatively, upgrading to a newer version of the action (e.g., v5 or higher) provides the if-no-artifact-found parameter directly, which accepts options such as 'error' (default), 'warn', and 'ignore' [4]. When using continue-on-error: true on an older v4 version, the step will continue to the next step even if the download fails; you can then use conditional logic (e.g., if: steps.my_step_id.outcome == 'success') in subsequent steps to proceed only if the artifact was successfully downloaded.
Citations:
Keep the Hypatia artefact available when the scan fails.
Run Hypatia scan exits before Upload hypatia findings, which uses the default success() condition. deposit-findings still runs and actions/download-artifact@v4.1.8 fails when hypatia-findings is missing. Run the upload when not cancelled and create a captured payload or [] before exiting.

Handle the panic-attack report as an object.
panic-attack-findings.json contains findings in .weak_points[], with file, severity, and description fields. The workflow currently treats the report as a top-level array and compares capitalised severities with lower-case values. Counts, annotations, and the deposited report can therefore be incorrect. Update all panic-attack parsing and validation steps to use the actual schema.

GitHub Actions actions/download-artifact v4.1.8 if-no-artifact-found default error missing artifact and default step success() condition
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the actions/download-artifact action (including version v4.1.8) defaults to failing the workflow step if no matching artifacts are found [1]. Unlike v3, which would proceed silently with success in such scenarios, v4 introduced this behavior as a breaking change to ensure that missing dependencies are explicitly identified [1]. Regarding the if-no-artifact-found parameter: As of version v4.1.8, the official actions/download-artifact action does not support an if-no-artifact-found input parameter [2][3]. This parameter was not added to the official action until later versions [4]. To handle scenarios where artifacts might be missing while ensuring the workflow step remains successful, you can use the default step success condition combined with workflow logic. Because the default behavior in v4.1.8 is to fail the step, a common workaround for earlier v4 versions is to use continue-on-error: true and then check the step's outcome [1]. Alternatively, upgrading to a newer version of the action (e.g., v5 or higher) provides the if-no-artifact-found parameter directly, which accepts options such as 'error' (default), 'warn', and 'ignore' [4]. When using continue-on-error: true on an older v4 version, the step will continue to the next step even if the download fails; you can then use conditional logic (e.g., if: steps.my_step_id.outcome == 'success') in subsequent steps to proceed only if the artifact was successfully downloaded.
Citations:
Keep the Hypatia artefact available when the scan fails.
Run Hypatia scan exits before Upload hypatia findings, which uses the default success() condition. deposit-findings still runs and actions/download-artifact@v4.1.8 fails when hypatia-findings is missing. Run the upload when not cancelled and create a captured payload or [] before exiting.

GitHub Actions actions/download-artifact v4.1.8 if-no-artifact-found default error missing artifact and default step success() condition
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the actions/download-artifact action (including version v4.1.8) defaults to failing the workflow step if no matching artifacts are found [1]. Unlike v3, which would proceed silently with success in such scenarios, v4 introduced this behavior as a breaking change to ensure that missing dependencies are explicitly identified [1]. Regarding the if-no-artifact-found parameter: As of version v4.1.8, the official actions/download-artifact action does not support an if-no-artifact-found input parameter [2][3]. This parameter was not added to the official action until later versions [4]. To handle scenarios where artifacts might be missing while ensuring the workflow step remains successful, you can use the default step success condition combined with workflow logic. Because the default behavior in v4.1.8 is to fail the step, a common workaround for earlier v4 versions is to use continue-on-error: true and then check the step's outcome [1]. Alternatively, upgrading to a newer version of the action (e.g., v5 or higher) provides the if-no-artifact-found parameter directly, which accepts options such as 'error' (default), 'warn', and 'ignore' [4]. When using continue-on-error: true on an older v4 version, the step will continue to the next step even if the download fails; you can then use conditional logic (e.g., if: steps.my_step_id.outcome == 'success') in subsequent steps to proceed only if the artifact was successfully downloaded.
Citations:
Keep the Hypatia artefact available when the scan fails.
Run Hypatia scan exits before Upload hypatia findings, which uses the default success() condition. deposit-findings still runs and actions/download-artifact@v4.1.8 fails when hypatia-findings is missing. Run the upload when not cancelled and create a captured payload or [] before exiting.

Normalise non-array panic-attack output before deposit.
When the output is valid non-array JSON, deposit-findings accepts it with jq empty, then .[] | . + {"scanner": "panic-attack"} can fail on error objects with string values. Replace non-array output with [], or enforce the array check in deposit-findings.

Handle the panic-attack report as an object.
panic-attack-findings.json contains findings in .weak_points[], with file, severity, and description fields. The workflow currently treats the report as a top-level array and compares capitalised severities with lower-case values. Counts, annotations, and the deposited report can therefore be incorrect. Update all panic-attack parsing and validation steps to use the actual schema.

Normalise non-array panic-attack output before deposit.
When the output is valid non-array JSON, deposit-findings accepts it with jq empty, then .[] | . + {"scanner": "panic-attack"} can fail on error objects with string values. Replace non-array output with [], or enforce the array check in deposit-findings.

Handle the panic-attack report as an object.
panic-attack-findings.json contains findings in .weak_points[], with file, severity, and description fields. The workflow currently treats the report as a top-level array and compares capitalised severities with lower-case values. Counts, annotations, and the deposited report can therefore be incorrect. Update all panic-attack parsing and validation steps to use the actual schema.

GitHub Actions actions/download-artifact v4.1.8 if-no-artifact-found default error missing artifact and default step success() condition
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the actions/download-artifact action (including version v4.1.8) defaults to failing the workflow step if no matching artifacts are found [1]. Unlike v3, which would proceed silently with success in such scenarios, v4 introduced this behavior as a breaking change to ensure that missing dependencies are explicitly identified [1]. Regarding the if-no-artifact-found parameter: As of version v4.1.8, the official actions/download-artifact action does not support an if-no-artifact-found input parameter [2][3]. This parameter was not added to the official action until later versions [4]. To handle scenarios where artifacts might be missing while ensuring the workflow step remains successful, you can use the default step success condition combined with workflow logic. Because the default behavior in v4.1.8 is to fail the step, a common workaround for earlier v4 versions is to use continue-on-error: true and then check the step's outcome [1]. Alternatively, upgrading to a newer version of the action (e.g., v5 or higher) provides the if-no-artifact-found parameter directly, which accepts options such as 'error' (default), 'warn', and 'ignore' [4]. When using continue-on-error: true on an older v4 version, the step will continue to the next step even if the download fails; you can then use conditional logic (e.g., if: steps.my_step_id.outcome == 'success') in subsequent steps to proceed only if the artifact was successfully downloaded.
Citations:
Keep the Hypatia artefact available when the scan fails.
Run Hypatia scan exits before Upload hypatia findings, which uses the default success() condition. deposit-findings still runs and actions/download-artifact@v4.1.8 fails when hypatia-findings is missing. Run the upload when not cancelled and create a captured payload or [] before exiting.
