fix(deploy): remove channel field from webhook payload (DEVEX-693)#102
Conversation
Remove the channel field from the Slack webhook payload as incoming webhooks post to the channel configured in the webhook URL. The SLACK_WEBHOOK_TYPE: INCOMING_WEBHOOK is correct for webhook URLs. DEVEX-693

Make the APM link conditional - only show it when apm_url is explicitly provided. This fixes issues where workflows that don't provide apm_url were getting broken or inappropriate links. DEVEX-693
Replace slackapi/slack-github-action with direct curl command to avoid action parsing errors. This matches the working curl example and should resolve the 'channel: command not found' CI errors. DEVEX-693
Revert all DEVEX-693 changes and restore the workflow to its original state before DEVEX-693 work began. The webhook URL in GitHub secrets should be updated to point to the #release channel instead. DEVEX-693
Fix potential security issue where JIRA ticket description content could be interpreted as shell commands: 1. Only request 'status' field from JIRA API instead of full ticket (avoids processing description) 2. Use temporary file to safely store curl response instead of direct variable assignment 3. Use printf instead of echo when processing user-controlled content (PR body, commit messages) 4. Use HTTP status codes for error checking instead of parsing JSON error messages 5. Properly quote all variables and use jq with error handling This prevents ticket descriptions containing shell-like text from being executed as commands. DEVEX-693
