fix(ci): resync actions.lock and add a lock-sync gate - #101
Merged
Merged
Conversation
CI in this repository has been silently dead: `.github/workflows/actions.lock` drifted from the workflow YAML, and GitHub refuses such a run at startup — zero jobs are created and the run reports only "This run likely failed because of a workflow file issue." Three changes: * `actions.lock` regenerated with `gh actions-lock --no-migrate-local-actions --no-narrow --no-interactive`, which repaired the step-level ref `step-security/harden-runner`. `--no-migrate-local-actions` is mandatory: fix mode otherwise rewrites `uses: ./…` to the invalid `uses: $/…`, which itself causes startup death. * Six job-level reusable-workflow refs added to `actions.lock` by hand. `gh actions-lock` v0.1.6 cannot see a job-level `uses:` (upstream #129), so it can neither report nor repair these. * `scripts/check-lock-sync.sh` + `.github/workflows/lock-sync-gate.yml` close the recurrence. Dependabot rewrites `uses:` refs and cannot touch the lockfile, so a grouped actions update re-breaks the repository on its next run. The gate fails such a pull request before it merges. It carries no `uses:` of its own — it checks out via git in a `run:` step — so it cannot be killed by the very desync it detects, and it has no `paths:` filter, so it cannot deadlock a ruleset that requires it. Verified before commit: all three mutants killed (a deleted step-level entry, a deleted job-level entry, an injected `$/` rewrite), positive control clean, `gh actions-lock --verify-local` clean, and only these three files modified.

Listing a ref under `workflows:` without a matching record under `dependencies:` produces an UNRESOLVABLE lockfile, and GitHub rejects the run at startup exactly as a desync does. Measured on this pull request: `hypatia-scan`, `rust-ci` and `secret-scanner` were green on `main` on 2026-09-21 and went `startup_failure` with jobs=0 on the previous commit here, which listed their job-level refs but supplied no records. The `dependencies:` section is the lockfile's resolution table, not commentary. `gh actions-lock` v0.1.6 writes neither half for a job-level `uses:` (upstream #129) and will not backfill a record for a key it did not write, so both halves are supplied by hand. The nested `uses:` list is the sorted union of the called reusable file's own pinned refs at that ref, normalised to OWNER/REPO@REF — the lockfile schema rejects a subpath such as `github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@…`. Verified: `scripts/check-lock-sync.sh` clean, `gh actions-lock --verify-local` clean (it was rc=2 on the un-normalised form), regeneration idempotent, and only `actions.lock` modified.

`gh actions-lock` stamps this line on every workflow it scans. Committing it keeps the working tree clean on subsequent runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X3hgXxWm6umMgZkjYyHnnm
Adds top-level `dependencies:` records for the 11 refs that appeared only inside another record's nested `uses:` list, leaving the lockfile with zero dangling edges. MEASURED on this PR: GitHub rejects a run at startup (jobs=0, "This run likely failed because of a workflow file issue") when the lockfile names a ref it cannot resolve to a record. Governance, Hypatia Security Scan, Rust CI and Secret Scanner all ran with jobs on `pull_request` on 2026-09-21 and went startup_failure on fe22bbc (workflows: entry, no record) and again on cfadcf9 (record present, but its nested uses: were themselves unrecorded). Both commits left a dangling edge; only its class differed. metadatastician/burble's working lockfile is the control: 11 nested refs, 49 records, 0 unrecorded. This brings cicd-squabbler to the same shape. Leaf records carry no nested `uses:`, so closure is reached in a single pass.

Root cause found and cured: the lockfile must be transitively closedThree pushes on this branch were needed to isolate this, and the first two made What happenedCommit Two controls established this was mine and not environmental:
The two wrong hypotheses, stated once
The rule that actually holds
The counter-intuitive half, and the part worth carrying: a job-level ref that Control: burble's working lockfile has 11 nested refs, 49 records, 0 The cure —
|
| workflow | before | now |
|---|---|---|
| Governance | startup_failure, jobs=0 | failure, jobs=15 |
| Rust CI | startup_failure, jobs=0 | success, jobs=5 |
| Secret Scanner | startup_failure, jobs=0 | success, jobs=3 |
| Hypatia Security Scan | startup_failure, jobs=0 | success, jobs=1 |
Also green: Code Quality (2), CodeQL (1), Dogfood Gate (6), Estate Rules (1),
Guix Package Policy (1), Lock Sync Gate (1), OpenSSF Compliance (1), Runtime
Policy (1), Security Policy (1), Static Analysis Gate (4).
The two remaining reds are pre-existing, and this PR strictly improves one
Both fail on main too, before this branch existed:
| workflow | main | this head | verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governance | failure @ 9846169c, 3 failing steps |
failure, 2 failing steps |
improved |
| Workflow Security Linter | failure @ b843ba82, Check SPDX Headers |
same single step | unchanged |
The Governance step that stopped failing is
Verify actions.lock (or SHA pins during the grace window) — the exact defect
this PR exists to fix. The two that remain
(Run tree allowlist preflight check, Check documentation) and the SPDX
header failure are unrelated pre-existing defects; per the standing stopping
rule they become issues with acceptance criteria, not blockers on this PR.
Local verification at 5286aa5
scripts/check-lock-sync.sh→ rc=0gh actions-lock --verify-local→ rc=0, "All 28 workflows have complete lockfile coverage"- differential safety gate →
SAFE (c/d exercised over 6 SHA-pinned refs; pruned orphan records: 0) - three mutants killed with a clean positive control, each asserting the mutation
actually applied first — one earlier mutant had silently failed to apply and
read exactly like a blind gate
Consequence for the wider rollout
This repo is the pilot for the 39 step-level-desynced repos tracked in
hyperpolymath/standards#968. The closure requirement is now a hard
precondition on every one of them, and the generator does it in one pass.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/lock-sync-gate.yml:
- Around line 1-2: Swap the two header comment lines so the
SPDX-License-Identifier comment is the first line, followed by the gh
actions-lock management comment.
In `@scripts/check-lock-sync.sh`:
- Around line 34-39: Update the WORKFLOWS initialization under shopt -s nullglob
to assign the YAML glob results directly to the array instead of using mapfile
with printf, and use the array-length guard to detect no workflow files.
Preserve the existing fatal message and exit behavior.
- Line 84: Update the reference classification logic in the awk processing
within the lock-sync script so raw values matching $/ paths are skipped as valid
self-repository references, like ./ references, without recording them in
dollar. Remove the obsolete dollar-based failure report and associated failure
assignment, while preserving validation for other reference types.
- Line 41: Update scripts/check-lock-sync.sh at lines 41-41 to require and
invoke gawk explicitly, failing with a clear fatal message if unavailable;
retain the existing GNU awk match usage. The related
.github/workflows/lock-sync-gate.yml lines 59-64 require no direct change
because the checker now validates its own gawk dependency.

…t was blind to The gate shipped in this PR was GREEN on two commits of this very branch that GitHub refused to start. Measured here, 2026-09-22: commit dangling-edge class result fe22bbc workflows: -> dependencies: (ref listed, no record) 4 workflows startup_failure, jobs=0 cfadcf9 dependencies: -> dependencies: (record added, its own nested uses: unrecorded) the same 4 still startup_failure 5286aa5 none - transitively closed 0 startup_failure, all 17 runs create jobs At fe22bbc AND cfadcf9 check-lock-sync.sh exited 0, `gh actions-lock --verify-local` exited 0, and the Lock Sync Gate reported green while four workflows were dead. Every local gate was green on a fatal commit. That is the guard/consumer trap: the gate asked "is every uses: locked?" while GitHub asks "is every locked ref RESOLVABLE?". The asymmetry is counter-intuitive and is what makes the new clause mandatory: * a job-level ref ABSENT from the lockfile entirely is HARMLESS; * a ref PRESENT in the lockfile but unresolvable is FATAL. So adding entries without closing them is strictly worse than adding nothing. Clause 1 demands entries be added; only the new clause 3 makes that demand safe. Shipping clause 1 alone actively steers a developer into the fatal state: Dependabot bumps a job-level ref -> clause 1 reds -> `gh actions-lock` will not backfill a job-level key it did not write -> the developer hand-adds the workflows: entry to go green -> no dependencies: record -> CI dies silently with the gate still green. Clause 3: every ref named anywhere in the lockfile must resolve to a top-level dependencies: record. Closure terminates in one pass because a leaf record may legally omit the nested uses: key, so adding leaves introduces no new edges. Also require an awk with 3-argument match() (a GNU extension) and probe for it rather than trusting the name: mawk is the Debian/Ubuntu default `awk`, and a silent parse failure here would read as a clean pass - the exact failure mode this script exists to prevent. Regression-tested against the real trees, not synthetic mutants: red on fe22bbc (2 edges) and cfadcf9 (11 edges), green on 5286aa5. Mutant: deleting one leaf record is detected, with a before/after assertion that the deletion applied.

…104) ## The gate earned its keep The lock-sync gate added in #101 went **red on `main` within five minutes of merging**. It was right. Commit `b506eeda` ("ci: standards ci-pipeline dry-run caller", 12:29Z) added `.github/workflows/standards-pipeline.yml` pinning `hyperpolymath/standards@2eb9bb19…` and did not add that ref to `.github/workflows/actions.lock`. #101 merged at 12:34Z and the gate caught it on the next push. This is the job-level reusable-workflow class that `gh actions-lock` v0.1.6 **will not backfill** (upstream #129) — it wrote the `workflows:` entry for the new file as an empty list `[]`. ### Not yet fatal, but it would have been `standards-pipeline.yml` triggers on `pull_request` and `workflow_dispatch` only — no `push` — so nothing has been startup-killed yet. **The next pull request would have been the first.** GitHub rejects such a run before any job is created: `jobs=0`, and the only diagnostic is *"This run likely failed because of a workflow file issue."* ## Changes | file | change | |---|---| | `actions.lock` | record `standards@2eb9bb19` under `standards-pipeline.yml`; add dependency records for it (4 nested refs) plus the 3 edges that closed over — `haskell-actions/setup`, `standards@571cc734`, `oven-sh/setup-bun` | | `scripts/check-lock-sync.sh` | fold case on the **owner/repo segment only** (the ref stays case-sensitive) | | `lock-sync-gate.yml` | remove the `# This workflow is managed by gh actions-lock.` stamp the tool prepends **above line 1**, which displaces the SPDX header and fails the estate `head -1` check | ### Disclosure: one case normalisation `Swatinem/rust-cache@6323deb1…` is rewritten to `swatinem/rust-cache@6323deb1…` in **both** the top-level dependency key and the nested reference, so the lock stays transitively closed. GitHub resolves `owner/repo` case-insensitively in `actions.lock` (measured on a same-commit control), and `gh actions-lock --verify-local` accepts the result. Flagging it because it is a line this PR did not otherwise need to touch. ## Verification - `gh actions-lock --verify-local` — clean - `scripts/check-lock-sync.sh` — passes all three clauses (per-path coverage, no orphan records, transitive closure) - independent closure check by a second method (set membership, not the same parser) — clean - no `uses: $/…` local-action rewrite - SPDX still on line 1 of every workflow that had it (2 of 29, unchanged) - only the three files above differ from `main` 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01X3hgXxWm6umMgZkjYyHnnm Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What was wrong
This repository's CI was silently dead.
.github/workflows/actions.lockhaddrifted from the workflow YAML, and GitHub refuses such a run at startup: zero
jobs are created, and the run reports only "This run likely failed because of
a workflow file issue." Nothing goes red in a way that reads as a test failure,
so the repository looks quiet rather than broken.
This repo is one of 39 found by an estate-wide census of 200 repositories on
2026-09-22 — see hyperpolymath/standards#968 for the full finding, the method,
and the evidence table.
What this PR does
actions.lockregeneratedstep-security/harden-runner, which is what was killing the runsgh actions-lockv0.1.6 cannot see a job-leveluses:(upstream #129), so it can neither report nor repair themscripts/check-lock-sync.sh+.github/workflows/lock-sync-gate.ymlRegeneration alone is a one-week fix. Dependabot rewrites
uses:refs in theYAML and cannot touch the lockfile, so the next grouped actions update
re-breaks the repository. The gate fails that pull request before it merges,
which is where the desync is introduced.
The gate carries no
uses:of its own — it checks out by calling git in arun:step — so it is structurally immune to the very failure it detects. Ithas no
paths:filter, so it cannot deadlock a ruleset that requires it.The checkout is token-authenticated via
http.extraheader, so the gate alsoworks on private repositories without writing the credential into

Workflows that have not executed since the desync will run here for the first
time, and some may go red for genuine, unrelated reasons. Per the estate

they are not blockers on this PR, whose sole job is to make the runs start.
