🏷️ Decision — Apply ONE Label

Choose one of the following labels to proceed:

sentinel/fix-now

Triggers the full Sentinel-D agentic remediation pipeline. The system will generate a patch, validate it in a sandbox, and open a PR if the confidence score is high enough.

sentinel/defer

Adds this vulnerability to the 30-day deferred backlog. Sentinel-D will re-evaluate after 30 days and re-open a decision issue if the vulnerability is still present.

sentinel/wont-fix

Records this as an accepted risk. Future Sentinel-D scans will not alert on this CVE in the affected file. Requires justification — please add a comment explaining why before applying this label.

⚠️ Auto-Escalation Warning: This issue will auto-escalate in 72 hours if no label is applied. The system will re-check production telemetry — if calls are now detected, the pipeline will be triggered automatically. Otherwise, the issue will be escalated to the security team lead.
