CTO_WATCHDOG_SMTP_PORT	SMTP port (e.g., 587)
CTO_WATCHDOG_SMTP_USER	SMTP username
CTO_WATCHDOG_SMTP_PASS	SMTP password
CTO_WATCHDOG_SMTP_FROM	Sender email address

2. Deploy Workflows

# Deploy to all dhaher-labs repos
python scripts/deploy-workflows.py \
  --token $GITHUB_TOKEN \
  --org dhaher-labs

# Deploy to personal repos
python scripts/deploy-workflows.py \
  --token $GITHUB_TOKEN \
  --user mulkymalikuldhaher

# Dry run first
python scripts/deploy-workflows.py \
  --token $GITHUB_TOKEN \
  --org dhaher-labs \
  --dry-run

3. Run Local Audit

# Audit a local repository
python scripts/cto-auditor.py /path/to/repo --owner dhaher-labs

# Apply safe fixes
python scripts/safe-fix.py /path/to/repo

# Dry run (preview fixes)
python scripts/safe-fix.py /path/to/repo --dry-run

# Analyze branches
python scripts/branch-analyzer.py /path/to/repo --owner dhaher-labs

🔐 Security

• Never store tokens or secrets in code — use GitHub Secrets
• Webhook signatures are verified using HMAC-SHA256
• All operations respect GitHub API rate limits
• Safe fixes are only applied for LOW-risk issues per the Safe Fix Policy
• HIGH-risk issues generate reports and PRs for human review
• CRITICAL security findings trigger immediate email alerts

See Security Policy for full details.
