Problem

Two CI issues are causing failures across multiple open PRs:

  1. FOSSA License Scan fails on all Dependabot PRs (chore(deps): bump dependabot/fetch-metadata from 2.5.0 to 3.1.0 #34, chore(deps): bump actions/dependency-review-action from 4.9.0 to 5.0.0 #35, chore(deps): bump actions/stale from 9.1.0 to 10.3.0 #36, chore(deps): bump amannn/action-semantic-pull-request from 5.5.3 to 6.1.1 #37) because the FOSSA_API_KEY secret is not available to Dependabot. Since Dependabot PRs only change action versions (not Go dependencies), FOSSA scanning is unnecessary.

  2. Link Check fails on PRs ci: add backport automation, SLSA provenance, and benchstat gating #33 and chore: update logo to fill avatar space better #38 because a Medium article URL returns 403. Medium blocks automated crawlers, so this is a false positive.

Changes

  • .github/workflows/fossa.yaml: Skip both FOSSA jobs when github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]'
  • .lychee.toml: Add medium.com to the exclusion list

Impact

Fixes CI failures on 6 open PRs (#33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38).

Skip FOSSA license scan for Dependabot PRs since they only change
action versions, not Go dependencies. The FOSSA_API_KEY secret is
not available to Dependabot, causing all Dependabot PRs to fail.

Exclude medium.com from lychee link checker. Medium returns 403
to automated crawlers, causing spurious link check failures.
