chore: land fix/e1-complete-pin-repair (estate branch triage) - #92
Conversation
Every reusable-workflow ref in this repo pointed at a SHA that is not a commit. Six of the seven distinct dead refs across the estate are BLOB oids -- the generator that wrote them called `git hash-object` on the reusable workflow FILE where it needed `git rev-parse` on the commit. A caller pinned at a non-commit dies at workflow STARTUP: conclusion `failure` (not `startup_failure`), ZERO jobs, run name == run path, and neither REST nor GraphQL carries a reason -- only the run page does. A required context whose workflow dies that way never reports at all, so the gate reads as ABSENT rather than failing, and the branch looks clean. Repinned to da2c748aad55c1a1dcba00b60fe4a35017bc6540. That SHA is NOT the standards default-branch tip, deliberately. GitHub validates a reusable against the CALLEE repo own .github/workflows/ actions.lock as it exists at that SHA. Dependabot routinely bumps a `uses:` inside a reusable without regenerating that lock, which makes the newer commit startup-fatal for every caller. Measured across the last 84 standards commits: 43 POISON / 41 SELF-CONSISTENT, alternating. Capability is not monotonic in time, so "bump to HEAD" is the wrong reflex; the tip (317101e0) is itself POISON on four refs. da2c748aad55 is the newest commit that validates against its own lock, and all six reusables this estate calls exist there.

💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The file mirror-reusable.yml is a standardized GitHub Actions reusable workflow located in the hyperpolymath/standards repository [1][2]. It was introduced in mid-2026 to consolidate mirroring logic across the organization's repositories, replacing individual, drift-prone mirror.yml files with a centralized, versioned wrapper [2][3][4]. When using this reusable workflow, repositories typically include a small wrapper file in.github/workflows/mirror.yml that calls the standards version via a specific commit SHA [2][3]. The workflow automates mirroring to various forges (such as GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, SourceHut, Disroot, Gitea, and Radicle) and utilizes secrets inherited from the parent repository [2][4]. Regarding RADICLE_KEY and cargo install radicle-cli: Repositories in the Hyperpolymath ecosystem that mirror to Radicle use these components to securely manage authentication and connectivity [5][6]. The standard pattern for these CI environments involves [6]: 1. Installing the Radicle CLI using cargo install radicle-cli --locked [5][6]. 2. Injecting the RADICLE_KEY secret into the environment (often sourced from repository secrets) [5][6]. 3. Securely writing the key to the ~/.radicle/keys/ directory using strict permissions (umask 077 or chmod 600) to prevent unauthorized access or leakage in logs [6]. 4. Executing rad sync to synchronize the repository [6]. Governance of these workflows is managed within the hyperpolymath/standards repository, which serves as the canonical source for CI/CD policies and templates [1]. Developers are expected to keep their reusable workflow SHAs updated to prevent CI failures caused by orphan or stale pins [7][8][9].

CWE: CWE-829 — Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere
Pin the Radicle installer and isolate RADICLE_KEY.
When RADICLE_MIRROR_ENABLED is true and the secret is configured, secrets: inherit supplies RADICLE_KEY to the reusable workflow. Its job-level environment exposes the key to cargo install radicle-cli --locked. --locked does not select an exact radicle-cli release. A compromised or newly published release can therefore run build scripts with the key. The previous pin returned 404, so this change activates this path rather than retaining an equivalent running path.
Pin an exact reviewed radicle-cli version. Expose RADICLE_KEY only on the final rad sync step, or use a reviewed and checksum-verified binary.

GitHub CLI gh extension install --pin tag commit semantics extension not signed
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
GitHub CLI (gh) extensions are not verified, signed, or endorsed by GitHub [1][2]. When you install or use a gh extension, you are trusting the publisher, and it is your responsibility to review the source code and provenance of the extension before use [1][2]. Because GitHub does not perform signing, you will not find a native gh command or flag to check or enforce a "signed" status for these extensions [1]. Regarding the use of the --pin flag: The --pin flag is used to install an extension at a specific release tag or commit ref, rather than the default latest version [3][4]. For precompiled (binary) extensions, the pin must correspond to a release tag [4][5]. For script-based extensions (which are cloned from the repository), the pin can be any commit reference (SHA or branch/tag) [4][5]. If you encounter errors regarding an extension being "not signed" or "not verified," it is likely a security policy on your local operating system (e.g., AppLocker or other endpoint security software) or a specific application environment (like Visual Studio or a web browser) unrelated to the GitHub CLI's internal installation process [6][7]. If your environment requires signed code, you must manually verify the source code and, if necessary, locally sign the files according to your organization's security protocols, as the GitHub CLI itself does not support signature verification for its extensions [1][7].

Verify the gh-actions-lock binary before execution.
--pin v0.1.6 selects a precompiled release tag. A fresh runner can therefore resolve a retargeted tag or release asset on each run. The helper then invokes gh actions-lock with inherited GH_TOKEN. The scheduled job also grants id-token: write, so a malicious replacement could read the token or request an OIDC token. The previous reusable-workflow reference does not resolve, so this change activates the exposure.
Download a reviewed linux-amd64 release asset and verify its SHA-256 checksum before execution, or vendor the binary. Remove id-token: write unless the job requires it.
