April 2026 monthly summary for questdb/documentation focusing on CI reliability and deterministic builds. Implemented a guard in GitHub Actions to skip the Gitleaks scan when GITLEAKS_LICENSE is unavailable and pinned the gitleaks-action to a specific commit to ensure deterministic, reproducible builds across forks.
