HawkScan CI app-startup patterns reference: Docker Compose + wait-for-it, GitLab services keyword, GitHub Actions services map, build-then-run (Node, JVM), run-a-built-image, scan-existing-host (ephemeral env / preview deployment), networking gotchas (--network host vs host.docker.internal), health-check endpoint conventions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# App Startup Patterns Reference

The scan target needs to be reachable from the CI runner before `hawk scan` runs. This reference catalogs the common patterns and their tradeoffs.

## Pattern Selection

| Repo signals | Pattern |
|---|---|
| `docker-compose.yml` / `compose.yml` at root | Docker Compose + wait-for-it |
| `package.json` with `start` / `dev` script | Build-then-run (Node) |
| `pom.xml` or `build.gradle*` with Spring Boot | Build-then-run (JVM) |
| `Dockerfile` only (no compose) | Run image as background container |
| App already deployed to ephemeral env | Scan-existing-host (no startup step) |
| None of the above | Ask the user for the start command |

## Pattern 1 — Docker Compose

Most common; works on every provider that has Docker. Assume the compose file exposes the app on a known port (e.g., `8080`).

```bash
docker compose up -d
# wait for app to be ready before scanning
timeout 60 bash -c 'until curl -fsS http://localhost:8080/health; do sleep 2; done'
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/cursor/.cursor/rules/stackhawk-hawkscan-ci-app-startup.mdc@sha256:f3a3b016d37d18f5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260610.e0f728f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
