October 2025 monthly summary for hawk-ai-aml/github-actions: Focused feature delivery centered on policy alignment and maintenance of the CI pipeline. The primary feature delivered was the decommissioning of Lacework vulnerability scanning within CI workflows, achieved by removing the Lacework vulnerability check and replacing the vulnerability-check action with a placeholder to reflect the decommissioning. No major bugs were logged or fixed this month; efforts were directed at policy update and pipeline simplification. Overall impact: Reduced CI surface area by removing deprecated security checks, lowering ongoing maintenance costs and risk from outdated tooling, while preserving the structure and flow of existing workflows. This supports faster iteration and cleaner security posture in production pipelines. Technologies/skills demonstrated: GitHub Actions CI/CD, vulnerability management policy updates, change management, decommissioning of legacy tooling, and collaboration with DevSecOps to align policy with end-of-life tooling.
