High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Centralize community-health files via an org-level .github repo
  • ➕ One authoritative SECURITY.md and other policies shared across many repositories
  • ➕ Less duplication and drift during portfolio-wide standardization
  • ➖ Less flexibility for repo-specific instructions (contacts, response targets, supported versions)
  • ➖ Requires org/user-level setup and consistent governance across repos
2. Rely exclusively on GitHub private vulnerability reporting (no email fallback)
  • ➕ Keeps all sensitive comms and tracking inside GitHub
  • ➕ Reduces risk of lost email threads or misrouting
  • ➖ Some reporters cannot or will not use GitHub advisories
  • ➖ Removes a simple fallback channel during GitHub outages/access issues

Recommendation: The current approach (repo-local LICENSE + SECURITY.md with both GitHub Advisories and email) is the most practical for a single repository and improves clarity immediately. Consider the org-level .github option only if you expect to maintain the same policy across many repos and want to prevent documentation drift.

Code Review

This pull request adds a LICENSE file with the MIT License and a SECURITY.md file outlining the repository's security policy. The reviewer identified that the relative link for reporting vulnerabilities in SECURITY.md would break when viewed from the repository's Security tab, and suggested using a root-relative path instead.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

The relative link ../../security/advisories/new will break when viewed from the repository's Security tab (rendered at /security/policy), as it resolves to /<owner>/security/advisories/new instead of /<owner>/<repo>/security/advisories/new.

In GitHub Markdown, links starting with a leading slash / are automatically resolved relative to the repository root. Changing the link to /security/advisories/new will make it work correctly in both the file viewer and the Security tab, while remaining fully reusable across different repositories.

Informational

1. Confusing advisory link 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability
Description
SECURITY.md uses a "../../" relative link to the Security Advisories reporting URL, which is unclear
and may not resolve correctly outside GitHub’s renderer/path-rewriting. This can make the reporting
instructions harder to follow and more fragile to file moves.
Code

SECURITY.md[R19-21]

+1. **GitHub Security Advisories** — use the
+   [private vulnerability reporting](../../security/advisories/new) feature on
+   this repository (preferred).
Evidence
The security reporting section uses a link that traverses up two directories (../../), which is
non-obvious and less portable than an absolute path or full URL.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`SECURITY.md` links to GitHub private vulnerability reporting using `../../security/advisories/new`, which is a confusing path escape from a repo-root document and is less portable across renderers.

## Issue Context
This is a documentation-only PR; fix should keep the same destination but make the link unambiguous.

## Fix Focus Areas
- SECURITY.md[19-21]

## Suggested change
Replace the link target with one of:
- an absolute GitHub path: `/security/advisories/new`
- or the full URL: `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/security/advisories/new`

(Prefer `/security/advisories/new` to avoid hardcoding owner/repo.)
