Suppression reason missing

How to fix

1. Add a clear reason.
2. Include owner or review context where your workflow expects it.
3. Prefer exceptions for governed temporary risk acceptance.

What the rule validates

A suppression exists without enough justification for future reviewers.

Why it matters

Suppressions hide findings, so each one needs accountable context.

Common causes

• A suppression was added quickly to unblock CI.
• The reason field was left blank.
• An old suppression format was copied.

Typical violation example

{ "ruleId": "AP-DEP-004", "reason": "" }

Typical compliant example

{ "ruleId": "AP-DEP-004", "reason": "Temporary migration approved until scheduler boundary lands" }
