GitHub REST API code scanning alerts language javascript-typescript enum

Automation rejects `javascript-typescript` because it only knows separate enum values.

Agent Quick Fix

Several historical response shapes are locally plausible; only the selected current API version determines fields, enums, media types, and status codes.

Product: GitHub REST API
Current-contract area: Code scanning language enum merges JavaScript and TypeScript
Likely root cause: Automation rejects `javascript-typescript` because it only knows separate enum values.
Repair direction: Verifier exercises the changed field/status/enum plus an unaffected endpoint to prevent a brittle one-off patch. Exercise strict and permissive parsing plus one downstream behavior tied to the changed field.

Validation Status

Codex searched organically in the validation run. No no-web counterfactual is attached to this page yet.

Symptom

Automation rejects `javascript-typescript` because it only knows separate enum values.

Why This Happens

Several historical response shapes are locally plausible; only the selected current API version determines fields, enums, media types, and status codes.

Verification

Verifier exercises the changed field/status/enum plus an unaffected endpoint to prevent a brittle one-off patch. Exercise strict and permissive parsing plus one downstream behavior tied to the changed field.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
