Question 110
After addressing this GitHub Copilot situation, what result most directly demonstrates that the requirement is met? A team stores secrets behind symbolic links and expects their exclusion patterns to cover the links.
Explanation
Correct Answer
This outcome directly checks the intended behavior: A test workflow cannot access the secret even when the symlink exists. The requested action was: Use repository and filesystem protections rather than rely on unsupported symlink exclusion.
Incorrect Answers
“A test PR touching the excluded fixture is not reviewed using that content.” does not demonstrate the result required here: A test workflow cannot access the secret even when the symlink exists.
“An authorized admin saves the rule and an ordinary contributor cannot alter it.” does not demonstrate the result required here: A test workflow cannot access the secret even when the symlink exists.
“A user lacking repository access cannot use its file context.” does not demonstrate the result required here: A test workflow cannot access the secret even when the symlink exists.
