+# Shared engine for the security scanners (gitleaks / bandit / zizmor).
+#
+# The scanner scripts live in external tool repos (ROCm/TheRock,
+# ROCm/rocm-tests). Each script imports `github_actions_api` from its own
+# repo's build_tools/ and resolves a config file (gitleaks.toml /
+# bandit.yaml / zizmor.yml) against the current working directory. None of
+# that exists in this repo, so a plain `uses:` call to the upstream
+# reusable workflow -- whose `run:` steps and `./.github/actions/...` refs
+# resolve against THIS checkout -- fails on the missing files.
+#
+# Instead we check the tool repo out ourselves (into _tool), copy its
+# config into the scan root, and run its script with the working directory
+# set to the scan target. This workflow is fully self-contained (no
+# caller-relative refs), so it can be lifted into a common ROCm security
+# repo unchanged and called via `uses: ROCm/<repo>/...@main`.
