ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #78
Merged
Merged
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 Rhodibot workflow now runs as a report-only compliance canary. It uses read-only permissions, detects would-mutate conditions, writes findings to the step summary, and fails when drift exists. It does not modify files or create pull requests. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The canary remains report-only, but its run summary lacks finding details and an unusually large dotfile could evade one drift check. These are bounded issues suitable for correction before or shortly after merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Write each finding to the step summary.
warn and note emit annotations only. The step summary receives the header, a blank line, and the final verdict. An owner who opens the run summary sees the count but not the findings. Annotations for a scheduled run are also easy to miss.
Append each message to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY in both helpers.

Avoid grep -q in this pipefail pipeline.
When the first two grep commands produce sufficiently large output, grep -q . can close the pipe after its first match. The upstream commands can then exit with SIGPIPE (141), so pipefail makes the if condition false and drops the finding. This requires unusually large output; ordinary small dotfiles are not affected.
Count the offending lines instead:

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.
