What Go means here.

Code Radar reviews Go repositories where they live, combining supported source checks, secret detection, dependency evidence, code-health signals, and portable reports in one local workflow.

Evidence to inspect

Use “Go security scanning for local and CI review.” as the scope for this decision: verify the input, finding detail, workflow handoff, and product boundary before you install or buy.

CriterionEvidence to inspectBoundary
Input scopeSelected files, configuration, scan mode, and enabled rules.Only included paths and configured checks are evaluated.
Finding detailFile, line, rule ID, severity, explanation, and repair direction.Illustrative output is not a result from your repository.
Workflow handoffLocal result, report format, agent context, and optional CI signal.Enable exports or CI only when the workflow needs them.
Decision fitUse the same criteria on a real repository before choosing a plan or tool.No universal winner or guaranteed outcome is claimed.

Coverage and concrete signals

Go source files (.go, go.mod, go.sum) plus Go modules and advisory evidence evidence in one local review path.

  • Audience: Developers maintaining Go repositories and their dependency manifests.
  • Evidence to inspect before you trust the result.: File-level source findings, secret checks, dependency advisories, and SARIF-ready output for Go.
  • Boundary: Coverage depends on parsers, manifests, lockfiles, and rules; runtime behavior still needs complementary testing.
  • Files: .go, go.mod, go.sum

From local signal to shared gate.

Go: Use the smallest workflow that proves value. Each later step should reuse evidence the team already understands. File-level source findings, secret checks, dependency advisories, and SARIF-ready output for Go.

1Run a quick local scanIs the signal useful?
2Inspect and repair findingsIs the fix specific and reproducible?
3Export portable evidenceDoes the reviewer need SARIF, JSON, or HTML?
4Promote the trusted threshold to CIWhich severity should block a pull request?
