Conversation
Part of the Git Hooks RFC rollout (bcgov/entity#34619). Adds a hooks-only root package.json (no app code at root) that installs lefthook, which runs gitleaks against staged changes on commit. prepare skips lefthook when git is absent and works under both cmd.exe and POSIX sh. lefthook's own postinstall is disabled via allowBuilds in pnpm-workspace.yaml since prepare handles installation.

Part of the Git Hooks RFC rollout (bcgov/entity#34619).
Adds a pre-commit hook that runs gitleaks on staged changes, same setup already merged in bcgov/registries-search#366, bcgov/bcros-common#313 and bcgov/entity#35072.
package.json- hooks-only, just installs lefthook. Subfolders keep managing their own deps.lefthook.yml- secret scan only vianpx gitleaks-secret-scanner.gitleaks.toml- gitleaks default rules, lockfiles + this config allowlistedpnpm-workspace.yaml-allowBuilds: lefthook: false, so lefthook's own postinstall doesn't run (preparehandles the install). Without this pnpm v11 fails the root install withERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS.prepareisgit --version && lefthook install || exit 0, so it skips when there's no git (build images) and works on Windows too.To get the hook: run
pnpm installat the repo root once.Subfolder pnpm apps (
web/pay-ui,web/express-checkout) each have their ownpnpm-workspace.yaml, so they keep using their own settings - checked withpnpm config get allowBuildsin each.No CI/CD workflow installs at the repo root - CI runs in each app's own folder.
