39-39: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a clear fallback for an unset permission.

The hard-coded Edit case is fixed, but defaultLinkPermission can be None. At Line 39, the finding then says that the permission is set to None, which is not a clear configured value. Use not configured for None or an empty value, preserve actual values such as Edit, and add a test for the unset case.

Proposed fix

-            report.status_extended = f"The default sharing link permission is set to {settings.defaultLinkPermission} instead of View."
+            permission = settings.defaultLinkPermission or "not configured"
+            report.status_extended = (
+                "The default sharing link permission is set to "
+                f"{permission} instead of View."
+            )

As per path instructions: each iterated resource must have a clear status_extended.
