During November 2025, Sam Followell enhanced the security posture of the oqc-community/qat repository by improving vulnerability reporting within the continuous integration build process. Sam removed the pip ignore flag from the pip-audit command, ensuring that all vulnerabilities are now surfaced during CI runs rather than being inadvertently suppressed. This adjustment, implemented using YAML and leveraging skills in DevOps and security auditing, strengthened the reliability of the build pipeline and provided clearer audit trails for remediation. While no bugs were fixed during this period, the work focused on increasing transparency and governance in vulnerability detection, reflecting a targeted and thoughtful engineering approach.
