Clarify use of identifiers for vulnerability tracking
What does this MR do and why?
Update two documentation sections in the same page:
- https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/integrations/secure.html#tracking-and-merging-vulnerabilities
- https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/integrations/secure.html#identifiers
Changes
- DRY-up information about finding deduplication by linking to the new section at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/vulnerability_report/pipeline.html#deduplication-process
- Remove incorrect information "reported for the same commit" (findings are associated with a pipeline, not commits)
- Expand information about tracking by adding the missing "project id" and mentioning the
uuid
SHA-1 hash (UUIDv5 digest).
Screenshots or screen recordings
Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.
How to set up and validate locally
Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
