Action required: Remediate the alerts listed below before their SLA deadline.
This issue will be closed automatically once all alerts are resolved.

SLA policy: critical = 7 days, high = 30 days, medium = 90 days, low = no deadline.
Alerts at or above medium severity will trigger a warning comment before the deadline and
repo archiving if unresolved. Low-severity alerts are tracked here for visibility only —
they will never trigger warnings or archiving.

💡 Tip: To have Dependabot automatically open fix PRs for dependency alerts, enable
Dependabot security updates in your repo settings:
Settings → Advanced Security → Dependabot security updates → Enable.
