Action Summary

The GitHub Action pgrls-action automates static analysis of PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) using the pgrls tool. It checks for policy bugs like broken tenant/per-user scoping and write-side holes, failing builds to prevent deployment of problematic RLS configurations. The action can either lint a live database’s RLS state or serve as a pull-request gate to detect regressions and new issues in the schema without requiring access to a running database or Docker container.

What’s Changed

Marketplace and README copy: 19 rules with mechanical auto-fixes, not 20.

The SEC006 auto-fixer was removed in pgrls 0.53.0 — it was provably disjoint from its own rule, so it could never remediate a real finding and instead rewrote clean policies.

Rule count is unchanged at 67: pgrls 0.54.0 added a verify mode (--mode reachability), not a lint rule. No behaviour change to the action itself; v1 has been moved here.
