potiuk opened a new pull request, #141: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow-steward/pull/141
## Summary - Adds a `### Reporter claims about dependencies: conditional language only` rule under "Writing and editing documentation" in `AGENTS.md`. - When a reporter says the vulnerability lives in **one of the project's dependencies**, drafted replies must not adopt the claim as fact — the project has no authority to confirm a vulnerability in code it does not maintain. - Rule lists explicit do / don't phrasings (forward to the dependency's maintainers, condition the assessment on their confirmation) and pairs with the existing *Reporter-supplied CVSS scores are informational only* rule (same shape — a position from the reporter the team has not yet evaluated). - Carves out the case where the report actually describes a flaw in the project's own code that *happens to involve* a dependency — at that point the finding is ours and the brevity rule above takes over. Doctoc TOC entry added. ## Why now A real airflow-s thread surfaced the failure mode: it is easy for a drafted reply to read like an endorsement of a third-party vulnerability claim, which the reporter can then forward as evidence — pressuring the dependency's maintainers and damaging the relationship the project depends on. ## Test plan - [x] `prek run --files AGENTS.md` passes (markdownlint, typos, doctoc, trailing-whitespace). - [ ] CI green on the PR. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
