Research direction

Start with SECURITY.md and inspect the repository setting reported by gh api repos/theam/facility/private-vulnerability-reporting. Confirm whether private reporting can be enabled; otherwise update the policy with a working security contact or fallback. Done means a non-maintainer following the documented process has a usable way to submit an in-scope vulnerability.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

SECURITY.md asks for private reports via https://github.com/theam/facility/security/advisories/new and explicitly says not to open public issues for suspected vulnerabilities — but private vulnerability reporting is not enabled on this repository:

$ gh api repos/theam/facility/private-vulnerability-reporting
{"enabled":false}

So a non-maintainer who follows the policy lands on a page that cannot submit anything, and has no fallback address. I hit this tonight with something that is in scope per the policy (a generated workflow that lets review text from a non-collaborator drive an agent with push rights). I am holding it back rather than posting it here; a security contact (email or the toggle in Settings → Code security → Private vulnerability reporting) would let me send it.
