Starting today, validity checks will be included in the “GitHub recommended” setup through code security configurations and will be enabled for any newly attached repositories.
Please note that on July 24, validity checks will also be enabled retroactively for any repositories that had attached the GitHub recommended configuration before July 2, 2024. If you wish to directly manage feature enablement moving forward, we recommend unattaching the recommended configuration and attaching your own custom configuration to those repositories.
