Monthly summary for 2025-10 focused on delivering business value through CI integration improvements in the DataDog/datadog-ci repo. Key work consolidated deprecation messaging for unsupported CI triggers across GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure Pipelines, guiding users toward the 'push' event and updating error/warning messages, docs, and tests to reflect the recommended workflow. Introduced a safe SARIF upload dry-run mode to enable configuration testing without performing actual uploads, reducing risk during deployments. Other notable work includes updating MIGRATING.md to clearly communicate trigger changes and ensuring code quality through formatting and test adjustments for the SARIF plugin. These changes collectively reduce misconfigurations, improve reliability of scans, and enhance maintainability across CI integrations and SARIF handling.
