# CI with --fail-on

> Fail the build when findings meet or exceed a severity threshold.

# CI with --fail-on

Gate merges when the inventory still contains findings above a chosen severity.

## Local

```bash theme={null}
cryptarium scan . --fail-on critical
echo $?   # 1 if any critical findings; 0 otherwise; 2 on scan error
```

## GitHub Actions

```yaml theme={null}
- uses: sgoveia/cryptarium@v0.1.1
  with:
    path: .
    fail-on: critical
    upload-sarif: true
```

Start with `critical`, then tighten to `high` once the backlog is under control. Pair with [SARIF upload](/guides/sarif-upload) so failures are inspectable in the Security tab.
