`low_assertion_density`

Low Assertion Density — 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.

How to fix

Add meaningful assertions to tests low effort

// Before: test with no assertions
it('should work', () => {
  const result = process(input);
});

// After: specific assertions
it('should return formatted output', () => {
  const result = process(input);
  expect(result.status).toBe('ok');
  expect(result.data).toHaveLength(3);
  expect(result.data[0].name).toBe('expected');
});

Triage

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.
