api_inconsistencyApi Inconsistency — a PullGuard finding type. Findings of this type appear in the PR comment, Step Summary, SARIF (GitHub Security tab / IDE viewers), and the HTML report, each with severity, location, and the remediation guidance below.
// Before: mixed conventions
app.get('/api/getUsers', ...); // camelCase
app.get('/api/user-groups', ...); // kebab-case
// After: consistent kebab-case (REST convention)
app.get('/api/users', ...);
app.get('/api/user-groups', ...); Suppress a confirmed non-issue with a committed .pullguardignore
entry (pullguard ignore locally, or comment
/pullguard ignore <fingerprint> <reason> on the PR — the
fingerprint is printed in the PR comment’s Triage section). Entries support
expiresAt for time-boxed snoozes.
Security findings at major or critical severity — and any critical finding —
always surface: .pullguardignore cannot hide them. The reviewed
paths that keep them visible are acknowledged (reviewed, stays in reports)
and, for a confirmed false positive, a reasoned false_positive entry —
visible and audited, excluded only from the merge block.
