ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #74
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 read-only compliance canary. It detects repository drift, reports findings in the step summary, and fails when drift exists. It no longer changes files or creates pull requests. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary

"gh actions-lock" ".github/workflows/actions.lock" startup_failure
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The gh actions-lock tool is a GitHub CLI extension used to manage dependency pinning for GitHub Actions workflows [1][2]. It generates and maintains a lockfile located at .github/workflows/actions.lock [1][3]. When a repository is subject to workflow-lockfile enforcement (a security policy that requires all action dependencies to be verified against a lockfile), workflows that lack this file or have unverified dependencies will fail immediately upon execution, resulting in a startup_failure [4][5]. This error typically occurs at 0 seconds, often without detailed logs in the API, because the workflow is rejected by the runner's enforcement mechanism before it can begin execution [4][6][5]. To resolve this startup_failure: 1. Install the extension: gh extension install github/gh-actions-lock [2]. 2. Generate the lockfile: Run gh actions-lock in the root of your repository [1][2]. This scans your workflows in .github/workflows/, pins dependencies to specific commits, and creates the .github/workflows/actions.lock file [1][5]. 3. Verify and Commit: Ensure the generated actions.lock file is committed to your repository [4][5]. Note that gh actions-lock may skip certain types of dependencies, such as reusable workflow callers, which might require manual entry in the lockfile to resolve remaining startup_failure issues [5]. Additionally, because the tool may insert a marker comment at the top of your workflow files, you may need to adjust your files to ensure they remain compliant with other requirements, such as SPDX header placement [4][5].

Generate the action lock for this workflow.
The workflow is managed by gh actions-lock, but .github/workflows/actions.lock is absent. The lock contract rejects an onboarded workflow with missing or unverified dependencies at startup, before any step runs. This produces startup_failure and no check run.
Run gh actions-lock so the lockfile includes .github/workflows/rhodibot.yml and the resolved commit for actions/checkout@v7.0.1. The tag can remain in the workflow; the lockfile records its resolved commit.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Scan the banned Haskell pattern unsafePerformIO.
The repository policy bans unsafePerformIO, but the advisory pattern list omits it. A Haskell file that contains this pattern produces no advisory.

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.
