This tutorial extends a production-grade GitHub Actions pipeline by adding layered security scanning with Gitleaks, Semgrep, and Trivy, followed by an AI synthesis stage powered by GPT-4o. Rather than overwhelming engineers with raw scanner output, the pipeline consolidates findings into structured Slack incident reports that prioritize exploitability, remediation effort, and deployment risk.
