A workflow runs a KICS scan that should output to GitHub Advanced Security using SARIF. It works until it gets to upload where it fails.

# kics-remediation
Read `artifacts/findings.json` — it contains a flat JSON array where each element has `file`, `line`, `severity`, and `message`. Call `create_code_scanning_alert` once per element, one at a time sequentially (not in parallel), passing those four fields directly. Wait for each call to succeed before proceeding to the next. After all alerts are uploaded, read `artifacts/results.json` to analyze the full results and create a tracking issue. Then create a new branch and perform remediation on findings whose `file` path does NOT start with `.github/` — do not modify any files under `.github/` in the PR (mention those findings in the tracking issue as requiring manual attention). Open a pull request with appropriate labels. NEVER automatically merge the pull request.

## TODO: Customize this workflow
The workflow has been generated based on your selections. Consider adding:
- [ ] More specific instructions for the AI
- [ ] Error handling requirements
- [ ] Output format specifications
- [ ] Integration with other workflows
- [ ] Testing and validation steps
## Configuration Summary
- **Trigger**: Manual trigger
- **AI Engine**: copilot
- **Tools**: github, edit, bash, web-fetch, web-search
- **Safe Outputs**: create-issue, create-agent-session, create-discussion, update-discussion, close-discussion, close-issue, close-pull-request, add-comment, create-pull-request, create-pull-request-review-comment, submit-pull-request-review, reply-to-pull-request-review-comment, resolve-pull-request-review-thread, create-code-scanning-alert, add-labels, remove-labels, add-reviewer, assign-milestone, assign-to-agent, assign-to-user, unassign-from-user, update-issue, update-pull-request, push-to-pull-request-branch, upload-asset, update-release, link-sub-issue, hide-comment, set-issue-type, update-project, create-project, create-project-status-update, autofix-code-scanning-alert, mark-pull-request-as-ready-for-review

## Next Steps
1. Review and customize the workflow content above
2. Remove TODO sections when ready
3. Run `gh aw compile` to generate the GitHub Actions workflow
4. Test the workflow with a manual trigger or appropriate event
