ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #60
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 file, licence, manifest, and documentation drift, reports findings in workflow output, and fails when drift exists. It no longer edits files, commits changes, or creates pull requests. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The compliance canary can report a clean result while dotfiles retain a non-compliant AGPL-3.0-or-later header. Correct the detection before merging so required licence drift remains visible. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Detect AGPL-3.0-or-later as licence drift.
The second grep removes AGPL-3.0-or-later matches. The dotfile policy requires MPL-2.0, so this variant must also trip the canary.
Proposed fix
- if [ -f "$dotfile" ] && grep "AGPL-3.0" "$dotfile" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "AGPL-3.0-or-later" | grep -q .; then
+ if [ -f "$dotfile" ] && grep -Eq 'SPDX-License-Identifier:.*AGPL-3\.0' "$dotfile" 2>/dev/null; then📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

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.
