Two unrelated causes, plus one that hid the others.
govulncheck: setup-go used go-version-file, so it installed exactly what
each go.mod pins -- `go 1.25.0` -- and then reported 28 CVEs in that
release's standard library (crypto/x509 quadratic name-constraint
parsing, GO-2025-4007, and friends), all fixed in 1.25.3. None of it
described anything we ship: every Dockerfile builds FROM
golang:1.25-alpine, a floating tag that resolves to the newest 1.25.x,
so the binaries already had the fixes. The go directive is a minimum
language version, not a statement about which toolchain to audit with.
Track the floating 1.25 line instead, and the scan matches production.
Confirmed by running govulncheck against a patched toolchain locally:
deploy/operator reports 0 vulnerabilities and exits 0.
cargo-deny: RUSTSEC-2024-0384, `instant` is unmaintained. A maintenance
advisory rather than a vulnerability -- no CVE, nothing to patch -- and
it arrives transitively via tantivy 0.22.1 -> measure_time 0.8.3, so it
cannot be dropped without moving off the pinned Tantivy. The advisory's
substance does not apply here anyway: instant papers over
std::time::Instant being missing on wasm, and search builds native musl.
Ignored in search/deny.toml with that reasoning recorded and a note to
delete the entry at the next Tantivy upgrade rather than let it ossify.
Both matrices now set fail-fast: false. Only two of the twelve jobs
actually failed; the other nine were cancelled, which made a two-cause
failure look like a total collapse and hid every finding but the first.
