Conversation
Adds .github/workflows/trufflehog.yml. Runs TruffleHog OSS on pull requests, pushes to the default branch, and weekly over full history. Only credentials verified live against the provider's API fail the job (--results=verified), so vendored test fixtures and .env placeholders are ignored. Both actions are pinned to commit SHAs and the workflow requests only contents: read.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The workflow adds CI secret scanning, but the scanner container uses a mutable tag, so the code executed may change between runs and reduce supply-chain reproducibility. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to pin the scanner image to an immutable digest or version. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Pin the TruffleHog container image by digest.
The pinned action constructs ${IMAGE}:${VERSION}, so version: 3.97.1 pulls ghcr.io/trufflesecurity/trufflehog:3.97.1 by mutable tag. Use the exact GHCR manifest digest for the 3.97.1 image.

GitHub disables a scheduled workflow in a public repo after 60 days with no repository activity, and the disable applies to the whole workflow, not just the cron trigger. Bahmni/bahmni-api-test-automation and Bahmni/openmrs-module-bedmanagement had already lost Semgrep on every PR this way, and GitHub does not re-enable it when the repo becomes active again. Scanning on pull_request and on push to the default branch is unchanged, and workflow_dispatch stays for an on-demand full scan.

Summary
Adds
.github/workflows/trufflehog.yml, a TruffleHog OSS secret-scanning workflow. Part of BAH-5025, rolled out identically across the 29 repos tracked by the Repo Security & Practices dashboard.Jira: https://bahmni.atlassian.net/browse/BAH-5025
Why
GitHub native secret scanning and push protection are already enabled here and report 0 open alerts. On the GitHub Free plan that is the ceiling. The two settings that would close the remaining gap are paid:
secret_scanning_non_provider_patterns(generic secrets: database connection strings, private keys, passwords) requires GitHub Team or Enterprise Cloud with Secret Protection.secret_scanning_validity_checks(is the credential actually live?) is documented as available only on GitHub Team or Enterprise with Secret Protection.TruffleHog OSS covers both at no cost, over full git history. It is distinct from the existing CodeQL and Semgrep workflows, which analyse code at HEAD for vulnerable patterns and neither read history nor verify credentials.
Cost and build impact
--results=verifiedmeans only credentials TruffleHog confirmed live against the provider's API fail the job. A full-history scan of all 29 repos found 0 verified secrets, and the 25 unverified matches (vendorednode_modulesfixtures,.envplaceholders, strings inside.jar/.zip/.omodarchives) are ignored by this setting.Test plan
