Totals

Metric	Count
Workflow runs in window	2623
Agentic runs (`*.lock.yml`)	1209
Runs with a `detection` job	780
... using the external detector	555
... using the built-in detector	75
... detector could not be determined	150
Agentic runs without a `detection` job	429

All rates below are over the external detector population (555 runs). A run is external when its detection job showed the Install threat-detect binary step, or when another run of the same workflow did that day — a job that was skipped or died during setup reports no steps and would otherwise be miscounted.

Detection job outcomes

Outcome	Count	Rate
`success`	406	73.15%
`skipped`	143	25.77%
`cancelled`	4	0.72%
`failure`	2	0.36%

Error rate (failure/timed_out/action_required): 0.36%

Verdict availability

State	Meaning	Count
`present`	detection artifact downloaded and parsed	377
`absent`	detection job ran but published no artifact (soft failure)	35
`skipped`	detection job was skipped or was still running (nothing to fetch)	143

Green detection jobs that published no verdict: 29 (detection steps are continue-on-error, so a missing verdict artifact is the only reliable signal for these).

Detection results

Result	Count
Runs with a parsed verdict	377
Clean (no threat)	376
Any threat	1
`prompt_injection`	1
`secret_leak`	0
`malicious_patch`	0

Threat rate (of runs with a verdict): 0.27%

Reasons reported by gh-aw

From the [aw] Detection Runs tracking issue (warning/failure conclusions only).

Reason	Count
