Pull request overview
Adds an additional CI job intended to surface GCC warnings and common hardening-related build issues for ModSecurity v3 earlier in the development cycle, while keeping the job “warn-only” to avoid immediately breaking CI.
Changes:
- Introduces a new “ModSecurity v3 (warn-only hardening build)” job on Ubuntu 24.04.
- Builds with stricter compiler/linker flags and prints toolchain + build flag configuration to CI logs.
- Auto-detects and installs the latest
libluaX.Y-devpackage before building.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds a GitHub Actions job on Ubuntu 24.04 to build ModSecurity v3. The job checks out recursive submodules, selects a Lua development package, installs build dependencies, sets compiler and linker flags, and runs configuration and build commands.

Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Other Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This adds a CI-only build job. The checkout step should disable credential persistence, per project guidance, before merge. Otherwise the change has low risk. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new hardening build repeats an existing CI execution pattern rather than introducing broader privileges or production access. Checkout credential exposure remains relevant, and effective token permissions are unknown, so the change cannot be assessed as minimal risk.
