PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 Security concerns Sensitive information exposure: The workflow uses GITHUB_TOKEN with write permissions to contents. While this is a common pattern for release workflows, ensure that the token permissions are properly scoped and that the workflow cannot be abused to create unauthorized releases. Consider implementing additional safeguards like required approvals for releases.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Security Configuration The workflow has write permissions to repository contents. Validate if this broad permission scope is necessary or if it can be restricted further. Build Configuration Verify that the new build flags and version information injection works correctly across all target platforms and doesn't introduce any build issues.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Score
Security	Include checksum generation for binary verification to enhance security Add binary verification steps using checksums to ensure release integrity and security. .goreleaser.yaml [22-24] archives: - format: tar.gz name_template: >- +checksum: + name_template: 'checksums.txt' + algorithm: sha256 + Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9 Why: Adding checksum verification is critical for security, allowing users to verify the integrity of downloaded binaries and prevent tampering.	9
General	Use specific version numbers instead of ranges to ensure build reproducibility Specify an exact Go version instead of using a version range to ensure consistent builds and prevent potential compatibility issues. .github/workflows/release.yml [22-24] with: - go-version: '>=1.21' + go-version: '1.21' cache: true Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: Using a specific Go version instead of a range is crucial for build reproducibility and prevents unexpected issues from newer Go versions.	8
	Add necessary permissions to ensure successful package publishing during releases Add a token permission scope for packages to allow publishing releases. Without this, the workflow might fail if you need to publish packages to GitHub Packages. .github/workflows/release.yml [8-9] permissions: contents: write + packages: write Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 Why: Adding packages write permission is important for workflows that might need to publish packages to GitHub Packages registry, preventing potential deployment failures.	7
