ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #78
Conversation
The RSR workflow here is the mutating variant: weekly cron, write permissions,
glob deletes, a bulk SPDX `sed` sweep the licence policy forbids, a
`${{ steps.fix.outputs.FIXES }}` injection sink, and a hardcoded personal
e-mail. Replaced with the canary the template ships: same schedule, same drift
signal, reports instead of mutating.
Refs hyperpolymath/standards#759 (option (a), canary propagation).
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe workflow is now a read-only compliance canary. It detects repository drift, reports findings in warnings and the step summary, and fails runs with drift. It no longer edits files, commits changes, or opens pull requests. ChangesCompliance canary

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the main change and its rationale, but it does not follow the required template. It omits the Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections, and it provides no test results or checklist status. Resolution Rewrite the description using the repository template. Include the required headings, list the key changes, mark each applicable checklist item, and describe the testing performed. State whether screenshots or terminal output are applicable.

Match the SPDX identifier instead of all licence text.
This pipeline matches any line that contains bare AGPL-3.0. Explanatory text in a dotfile can therefore increment DRIFT and fail the canary even when its SPDX header is MPL-2.0.
Match SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0 explicitly.

The RSR workflow in this repository is the mutating variant of rhodibot: it runs on a
weekly cron with
contents: write+pull-requests: write, deletes files by glob, andbulk-rewrites SPDX headers — which the standing licence policy forbids. It also interpolates
${{ steps.fix.outputs.FIXES }}into arun:block (repo-derived filenames, soattacker-influenceable) and hardcodes a personal e-mail address.
This replaces it with the report-only canary that the estate template already ships — the
already-approved design, not a new one. Same weekly schedule, same drift signal, no mutation:
it reports what an auto-fixer would have changed and fails the run when it finds drift,
rather than editing anything. Licence/SPDX drift is reported for manual, owner-only
correction; rhodibot must never edit a licence header.
Part of the
standards#759migration (canary propagation, option (a)). The workflow'suses:pins are unchanged, so
actions.lockis unaffected.
