.github/workflows/code-review.yml:Here are some high confidence code improvements for the provided Github pull request:

  1. Use specific branch names instead of generic ones like "main" and "int". Use names like "master", "develop" and "feature/branch-name" to make it easier to understand which branch the code is being tested against in the workflow.

  2. Remove the inline TODO comment from the egress-policy line, and instead add a separate step or job to run the tests with the egress-policy set to "block" after the initial runs.

  3. Instead of using the secrets directly in the workflow, use environment variables that are defined in the repository settings, and load them using the $ENV syntax.

  4. Add more verbosity to the name of jobs, especially their purpose.

  5. Instead of using a specific version of the Docker image, use the specific version of a tag or commit hash to ensure that the same version is used in all runs of the workflow.

  6. Ensure that the permissions granted to the workflow are the minimum required for it to operate, to prevent potential security incidents.

  7. Ensure the Docker image is pinned to a specific tag or digest number to make sure the same images are used and remove any risk of a new version with a change in behaviour.

  8. Add additional steps to the workflow such as linting or static code analysis to ensure that code is formatted and readable, and that there are no potential bugs or security vulnerabilities.

  9. Improve the code readability and clarity by adding comments where necessary and writing variable and function names that are descriptive and concise.

.github/workflows/code-review.yml:Here are some high-confidence code improvements for the given GitHub pull request:

  1. Use descriptive and concise names for the jobs, steps, and variables to enhance the code's readability.
  2. Add comments to assist the code's understanding for future developers.
  3. Update the docker tag to a specific version instead of :latest for better consistency and stability of the code.
  4. Set a timeout for the job to avoid it getting stuck, causing the pull request to be delayed and increase build costs.
  5. Follow consistent indentation and formatting practices.

Here's the updated code snippet:

name: Code Review
on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main
      - int
permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  code-review:
    name: Perform code review 
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 15 # set a timeout to avoid getting stuck
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - name: Harden the GitHub runner
        uses: step-security/harden-runner@6b3083af2869dc3314a0257a42f4af696cc79ba3 # v2.3.1
        with:
          egress-policy: audit
        # Add comments to aid in understanding
        # This step is to harden the runner which will run the subsequent code review step.

      - name: Perform code review
        uses: docker://ghcr.io/step-security/code-reviewer/int:v1.0.0 # use a specific version for consistency
        env:
          PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        # Add comments to aid in understanding
        # This step will leverage the Docker container to run a code review on the source code.
        # The GitHub token is passed as an environment variable for authentication purposes.

Note: Do ensure that the latest version of step-security/harden-runner and step-security/code-reviewer Docker container are compatible with ubuntu-latest.
