Description

Summary of a comment elsewhere:

The top of the output should be clear: "The following packages have high/critical vulnerabilities and need to be updated: X, Y, Z" <-- the current output requires an enormous amount of developer effort to scan through a wall of text to try to figure out if they need to do anything at all. One line at the top should give clear guidance to developers. They should be able to take action based solely on that one line. Everything else should be in a details object [...]

Research direction

Start by locating how the shared OSV Scanner GitHub Action constructs its current vulnerability output. Update the output so its first line identifies high or critical vulnerable packages and gives actionable guidance, while the remaining information is kept in a details object; verify that developers can act from the first line alone.
