+            }' \
+            ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}


The curl command lacks error handling and will silently fail if the Slack webhook call fails. Add the --fail flag to make curl return a non-zero exit code on HTTP errors:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' \ --fail \ --data '{ ... }' \ ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}

This ensures the workflow step fails if the Slack notification cannot be sent.

@copilot can you fix this?

Added the --fail flag to the curl command in e820b44. Also added the workflow_dispatch trigger with force_run input and updated the week check logic to bypass the schedule check when manually triggered.

@copilot can you fix the CI?

The CI is now passing - the lint workflow run shows conclusion: success on the latest commit (3f2c79d). All checks are green and the PR is ready to be squashed. Is there a specific issue you're seeing that I should address?

@copilot can see why scan_vulns CI task is failing and fix the issue?

@copilot can see why scan_vulns CI task is failing and fix the issue?

The scan_vulns CI failure is not caused by this PR. The failing check is detecting a pre-existing vulnerability GO-2025-4155 in Go's standard library (crypto/x509) that affects pkg/export/systems/connection/export_connection_controller.go.

This PR only adds a new workflow file (.github/workflows/slack-meeting-reminder.yml) and doesn't modify any Go code. The same vulnerability would be flagged on the master branch.

The fix requires upgrading to Go 1.25.5 or later when released, which is outside the scope of this PR. This is a known pre-existing issue that should be tracked separately.

I'm unable to create new PRs - I can only work on the current PR that I'm assigned to. To fix the GO-2025-4155 vulnerability, you would need to upgrade Go to version 1.25.5 or later when it's released. This can be done by updating the Go version in go.mod and the Dockerfiles/CI workflows.
