ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #86
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 now acts as a report-only compliance canary. It detects drift, reports findings in the job summary, and fails when drift exists. It no longer modifies files or creates pull requests. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A harmless mention of AGPL-3.0 in a checked dotfile can make the compliance canary fail. Restricting the check to the SPDX identifier avoids false compliance failures. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Match the SPDX identifier field.
The current grep matches any dotfile content that contains AGPL-3.0. A non-header mention can therefore increment DRIFT and fail the canary. Match SPDX-License-Identifier: with the exact legacy identifier 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.
