What changes

  • On a pull request from a fork, a failing leak check reports each location once, as "matches a private pattern", without the rule number. Branches of the repository itself and pushes keep the rule number, which is what a maintainer needs to fix the line.
  • The success line no longer prints how many patterns were checked.
  • A pull request whose head repository is missing from the event is treated as a fork.

The check still fails closed on an empty pattern list. README and the script's docstring describe the new output.

Tested

By hand against a scratch repository: same-repo branch, fork, missing head repository, push, clean change and empty patterns.

Note

Low Risk
Security-hardening change to CI log output only; no change to what is scanned or when the check fails.

Overview
Hardens leak-check reporting for untrusted fork PRs so contributors cannot infer which LEAK_PATTERNS rule fired. Fork pull requests (including when the head repository is absent from the event) now emit errors like {place} matches a private pattern with no rule line number; same-repo branches and pushes keep the existing rule on line {n} of LEAK_PATTERNS wording for maintainers.

Duplicate error lines for the same location are deduplicated when multiple patterns match, since rule numbers are hidden. The success log no longer prints pattern count (only texts checked). Changed file paths in the scan are numbered (file name 1, etc.) so multiple matching names stay distinct without echoing paths in labels. README and the script docstring document this behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Leak-check reports for pull requests from forks now show the hit location without a rule number. Duplicate hit messages are omitted.
    • Pattern counts are no longer displayed in leak-check reports, including when no patterns are detected.

A pull request from a fork now gets one line per place, without the rule
number. Branches of the repository and pushes keep rule numbers. The
success line no longer prints the number of patterns.

Walkthrough

The leak-check script now omits rule numbers from fork pull-request hit reports, removes duplicate hit messages, and omits the pattern count from success output. The README describes these reporting changes.

Changes: Leak-check reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Format and print leak hits
scripts/leak_check.py, README.md
For fork pull requests, hit messages show only the location. Other reports include the rule number and match location type. The script removes duplicate messages and no longer prints the pattern count. The README documents these changes.

Change: Other

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 28c05

When several changed file names match private patterns, the leak-check output reports them as a single location and undercounts them. The check still fails, so leaks are still blocked. Giving each file name a distinct non-sensitive label is a small fix that can be made before or after merge.

Explanation

The title names the main change: leak-check output for fork pull requests is now location-only, without rule numbers. The raw summary confirms that fork reports omit rule numbers and that the success message no longer reports the pattern count. The title is specific and accurate. It omits the removal of the pattern count, which is a secondary change and acceptable.

- Line 269: Update the hit construction and deduplication around `hits =
list(dict.fromkeys(hits))` to use a distinct, non-sensitive location identifier
for each matching filename. Preserve filename redaction in formatted output
while ensuring different file-name matches remain separate reports and duplicate
reports for the same location are removed.
