v3.4.1 (#253)

## Summary

Cuts the v3.4.1 patch release to fix NPM plugin module resolution
introduced in v3.4.0.

## Fix

NPM plugins are now installed beside the compiled Find action loader,
allowing Node to resolve and import them correctly when the scanner runs
from a consumer repository (#252).

This fixes the failure encountered when loading:

```yaml
scans: |
  ["axe", {"name": "alt-text-scan", "package": "@github/accessibility-scanner-alt-text-plugin", "version": "1.1.0"}]

Release v3.4.0 (#250)

## Summary

Cuts the v3.4.0 minor release by merging the reviewed changes on `main`
since immutable release `v3.3.0` into the stable `v3` action branch.

### What's new

- **NPM scanner plugins** — object entries in `scans` can install and
load allowlisted first-party packages at runtime, including a pinned
version
([#242](#242)).
- **AccessLint engine** — `accesslint` is available as a built-in
alternative or complement to Axe, with comparison and selection guidance
([#241](#241)).
- **Alt-text plugin documentation** — documents
`@github/accessibility-scanner-alt-text-plugin` and the object `scans`
configuration
([#247](#247)).

### Maintenance

- Update `ruby/setup-ruby`
([#246](#246),
[#248](#248)).
- Update `actions/setup-node` and patched `brace-expansion`
([#248](#248),
[#249](#249)).

## Upgrade notes

This is additive and backward-compatible. Existing workflows using
`github/accessibility-scanner@v3` need no configuration changes. Axe
remains the default when `scans` is omitted.

To pin the currently published alt-text plugin:

```yaml
scans: |
  ["axe", {"name": "alt-text-scan", "package": "@github/accessibility-scanner-alt-text-plugin", "version": "1.0.0"}]
```

Only allowlisted first-party NPM plugins are loaded. Package lifecycle
scripts are disabled during installation.

## Validation

- `npm run lint` — passed on `main` at `096ac67`
- `npm run format:check` — passed
- Action unit tests — 81 passed
- `.github/actions/find` TypeScript build — passed
- Repository `Test` workflow — passed:
https://github.com/github/accessibility-scanner/actions/runs/30118540795
- Manual local integration using
`@github/accessibility-scanner-alt-text-plugin@1.0.0` with object
`scans` syntax — package installed and loaded through the scanner plugin
manager; a local page with `alt="image.jpg"` produced the expected
`filename-alt-text` finding
- Root production dependency audit — 0 vulnerabilities

## Release procedure after approval

1. Merge this PR using a merge commit, preserving the established `main`
→ `v3` release history.
2. Validate the resulting `v3` commit.
3. Publish immutable GitHub release/tag `v3.4.0` from `v3` and verify
`github/accessibility-scanner@v3` and `v3.4.0` contain #242 and the
intended release delta.

new release (v3.3.0) (#243)

[passed
checks](https://github.com/github/accessibility-scorecard/actions/runs/28392441171)

Cuts a new minor release to ship features and fixes accumulated in
`main` since v3.2.0. This is a minor bump — all changes are additive and
backwards-compatible (no inputs/outputs removed or reformatted).

### What's new
- **`group_by` input** — consolidate findings into issues by `finding`
(default), `rule`, or `rule+url`
- **`dry_run` input** — preview what would be filed/closed/reopened
without mutating issues or writing the cache
- **`file_best_practice_issues` / `file_experimental_issues` inputs** —
toggle filing of non-WCAG findings
- **Finding categorization** — Axe violations tagged `wcag` /
`best-practice` / `experimental`, surfaced in issue bodies and labels
- **`wontfix` label support** — closed issues labeled `wontfix` are no
longer reopened on re-runs

### Fixes
- Reflow-scan messaging reworded and updated to reference WCAG 2.2
- Issue acceptance criteria updated from WCAG 2.1 → 2.2
- `actions/checkout@v6 → v7` across workflows and `gh-cache/*`
- Dependency bumps (`@types/node`, `eslint`, `typescript-eslint`,
`vitest`, `playwright`, etc.)

### Testing
- ✅ Scorecard manual test against `@main` passed — [run
#83](https://github.com/github/accessibility-scorecard/actions/runs/28392441171),
3-site matrix (storybook, admin, thehub), exercising `auth_context` +
auth-to-github
- ✅ Automated Test workflow green on `main`
- ⚠️ Sandbox-only checks (self-hosted runners, first-run/no-cache,
Copilot assignment) were **not** run due to repo access limitations
- ⚠️ New inputs (`dry_run`, `group_by`, `file_*`, `wontfix`) are covered
by unit tests but were not exercised in a live sandbox run

v3.1.0 - add the ability to import TS files directly (#203)

The plugins system was only able to load plugins via js files. A new
feature was added that allows loading via ts files
(#187). This PR is
to release v3.1.0 (a minor bump because we're adding a new feature -
does not break backwards compatability). Last version was 3.0.1.
