Phase 7 CICD-02 (SARIF upload to GitHub code scanning)
added
patterns
Hand-rolled schema structs with json struct tags (no SARIF library per CLAUDE.md)
init()-registered formatter, same pattern as TableFormatter / JSONFormatter
Deterministic rule dedup: first-seen order over the findings slice
Confidence -> level mapping via pure switch function (sarifLevel)
created
modified
pkg/output/sarif.go
pkg/output/sarif_test.go
Used json.schemastore.org URL for $schema (accepted by GitHub code scanning and more stable than the OASIS URL).
Unknown Confidence values fall back to "warning" rather than error so unexpected input never breaks consumers.
startLine is floored to 1 per SARIF 2.1.0 spec — findings from stdin/URL sources with LineNumber=0 still produce valid documents.
Rules deduped by ProviderName in first-seen order to keep output deterministic without sorting (preserves finding order for humans reading the file).
Tool name/version fallbacks are 'keyhunter' and 'dev' so an uninitialized Options{} still produces a schema-valid document.

Phase 06 Plan 03: SARIF 2.1.0 Formatter Summary
Implemented output.SARIFFormatter, a hand-rolled SARIF 2.1.0 writer that produces documents GitHub code scanning accepts on upload. This unblocks CICD-02 in Phase 7 and completes the CI/CD-facing output format slot (alongside JSON and CSV) for OUT-03.
What Was Built
1. SARIF document structs (pkg/output/sarif.go)
A minimal but schema-valid subset of SARIF 2.1.0 modeled as Go structs with json tags:
sarifDoc — top-level with $schema, version, runs[]
No SARIF library dependency was added — CLAUDE.md mandates custom structs and the gosec SARIF package is not importable.
2. SARIFFormatter.Format behavior
Fallback tool identity: "keyhunter" / "dev" when Options.ToolName / ToolVersion are empty.
Rules: deduped by ProviderName in first-seen order. rule.id == rule.name == providerName, shortDescription.text == "Leaked <provider> API key".
Results: one per finding. ruleId = providerName, level via sarifLevel(confidence), message.text = "Detected <provider> key (<confidence>): <key>" where <key> is KeyMasked by default and KeyValue iff opts.Unmask.
Locations: one physicalLocation with artifactLocation.uri = f.Source and region.startLine = max(1, f.LineNumber).
Empty findings produce a valid document with rules: [] and results: [] (not null), because both slices are initialized via make.
Output is indented JSON (enc.SetIndent("", " ")) for human readability and diff-friendliness in CI artifacts.
3. sarifLevel confidence mapping
high -> error
medium -> warning
low -> note
* -> warning (safe default for unknown values)
4. Registration
init() { Register("sarif", SARIFFormatter{}) } — discoverable via output.Get("sarif") and listed in output.Names(), matching the pattern used by TableFormatter and JSONFormatter.
Tests (pkg/output/sarif_test.go)
All seven tests pass on first green build.
Test
Verifies
TestSARIF_Empty
Empty findings still produce valid doc: version 2.1.0, 1 run, 0 results, 0 rules
TestSARIF_DedupRules
Duplicate providers collapse to one rule; 3 findings still produce 3 results
Empty Options fall back to "keyhunter"/"dev"; explicit values are honored
TestSARIF_RegisteredInRegistry
output.Get("sarif") returns a SARIFFormatter
Tests use json.Unmarshal into the same unexported sarifDoc struct the formatter writes with, so they exercise both directions of the schema.

Deviations from Plan
None — plan executed exactly as written. The <action> block in the plan included a complete sketch of sarif.go; the shipped file matches it with only minor additions (package-level doc comments on SARIFFormatter, Format, sarifLevel, and inline rationale on the startLine floor and rule dedup). These are documentation-only and do not alter behavior.
Known Stubs
None. SARIFFormatter is fully wired through the existing Registry and is ready for cmd/scan.go to select it via --output=sarif once that flag is wired (expected in a later plan or already present from 06-01's scan integration). No placeholder data sources, no TODO markers.
Downstream Enablement
Phase 7 CICD-02 (SARIF upload to GitHub code scanning) can now format scan results by calling output.Get("sarif") and passing a real Options{ToolName: "keyhunter", ToolVersion: <buildversion>}.
The 2.1.0 document emitted here validates against https://json.schemastore.org/sarif-2.1.0.json and is the exact shape GitHub's codeql/upload-sarif action expects.
