Why did my scheduled dependency audit workflow stop running?

Yes. A cron workflow can open a checklist issue for each recurring control. Here are the limits to design around: UTC, delays and the 60 day rule.
At 20 to 50 engineers, scan in the IDE, on every pull request, and on a schedule, with shared policy and named owners. Here is the layout and the pitfalls.
Large orgs keep scans consistent with central policy, a repository inventory, default-on pipelines, and risk tiers. Here is the model and what to measure.
Two branches can each pass a scan and fail once combined. Scanning the merged result, via merge queues or merged results pipelines, closes that gap.
Static site repos often hide a functions folder with its own packages. Find the manifests, scan each one, and gate pull requests. Steps for a clean setup.
Use renv to record exact package versions, then scan renv.lock against an open vulnerability database. Steps, limits, and what the scan will not cover.
Run fork code in an unprivileged job with no secrets, and never check out untrusted code under pull_request_target. Steps and a decision table.
Use reverse dependency queries to find which Bazel targets a change affects, then scan those and keep a full scheduled scan. Steps, limits and checks.
