Expanded existing README CI/CD stub in-place rather than appending a new section, to preserve the established Quick Start flow
Documented continue-on-error: true explicitly in the Actions example so users understand why exit-1-with-SARIF-upload is the desired shape
Consolidated pre-commit uninstall behavior (leave .bak files in place) as user-recoverable rather than auto-cleanup

Phase 7 Plan 06: CI/CD Documentation Summary
One-liner: Documented the Phase 7 deliverables (pre-commit hook, GitHub Actions SARIF upload, external scanner import) in a standalone docs/CI-CD.md guide and cross-linked it from the README's existing CI/CD Integration section.
What Was Built
docs/CI-CD.md — 161-line guide with five sections:
GitHub Actions workflow example (copy-paste .github/workflows/keyhunter.yml) with full explanation of continue-on-error: true, security-events: write, and fetch-depth: 0
External scanner import walkthrough for TruffleHog JSON, Gitleaks JSON, and Gitleaks CSV — including idempotency guarantee
Exit-code table (0/1/2) for CI integration gating
README.md CI/CD Integration section — replaced the three-line stub with a 2-paragraph summary that covers all three capabilities, shows the canonical command shapes (including keyhunter import), and links out to docs/CI-CD.md for the full walkthrough.
CICD-01 (pre-commit hook integration) — install/force/uninstall lifecycle and bypass path are user-discoverable from README via the new guide.
CICD-02 (GitHub Actions SARIF upload) — full copy-paste workflow published, with permissions and continue-on-error rationale documented.
Deviations from Plan
None — plan executed exactly as written. The README already had a stub ### CI/CD Integration subsection under Quick Start (line 372) that the plan anticipated ("update if a stub section exists"); expanded in place rather than relocating.
Key Decisions Made
In-place README expansion — kept the existing ### CI/CD Integration heading under the Quick Start H2 rather than promoting it to its own H2 section. This preserves the Quick Start flow established by earlier phases and matches the plan's "update if a stub section exists" guidance.
continue-on-error: true rationale documented explicitly — users copying a security workflow deserve to know why a "failing" step is intentional; otherwise the first instinct is to remove it and lose the SARIF upload.
.bak.<timestamp> files left in place on uninstall — documented as manual-recovery rather than auto-cleanup, so users never silently lose a prior hook.
