feat(ci): scheduled applier that re-points standards workflow pins - #809
Conversation
A fix landed in `standards` does not reach its callers. Measured 2026-09-15, 28 of 29 live remote callers are SHA-pinned and exactly one tracks `@main`, so a pinned caller keeps consuming a broken commit until something re-points it. `scripts/propagate-workflow-pins.sh` already holds the proven rewrite core but walks LOCAL checkouts and never commits, which makes it a manual, one-repo-at-a-time tool. This adds the applier that closes that gap (owner ruling STD-R-3: an applier on a cadence, not a one-shot sweep). Classifies every consumer pin into five classes, because the failure signature `failure` + 0 jobs + name == path has at least four distinct causes and the signature alone never proves which: FRESH / BEHIND / DEAD-REF (pinned SHA is not a commit in standards at all) / ILLEGAL (`uses: ../../`, rejected at parse time — issue #808) / TRACKING. Safety properties: * audit by default; --fix required to write anything * the target SHA is proven REACHABLE FROM main, not merely existent — the 2026-09-04 squash-merge incident broke 251 workflow files across 70 repos precisely because an addressable commit was not a usable ref * known-answer controls run on EVERY invocation and abort the run on misclassification; a census with no control cannot be told from a broken one * commits are made via createCommitOnBranch so they are "Verified" — required_signatures is the dominant campaign blocker, and an unsigned applier would open PRs that can never merge * a missing App credential fails fix mode loudly instead of reporting a clean run that wrote nothing The dedicated App is deliberately NOT OikosBot: OikosBot is a ruleset bypass actor, and an applier authenticating as it would be exempt from the rules it exists to uphold. tests/ is mutation-based: five mutants reintroduce real defects verbatim and each must be killed by the named control. One of them — a rewrite anchored on the SHA rather than on the standards path, which silently re-points actions/checkout at a standards commit — passed both pre-existing controls, which is why the third-party-pin control was added.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new scheduled pin applier is unlikely to work as intended: repair runs cannot actually open the fix commits, audits can report valid local workflow references as broken, failed repository reads are silently dropped so the report can look clean while missing data, and repositories under the second owner are accessed with a credential scoped to the first. These should be corrected before merge; audit output should not be trusted until then. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Two defects found by running the applier against the live estate. 1. Cost. The REST contents API needs one call per FILE: ~2,600 calls over 438 repos, measured at roughly two hours, against a hard 5,000/hour ceiling. A single GraphQL tree query returns every workflow file's text for a repo in one call. Verified to produce byte-identical classification to the REST path on the control repo `affinescript` (4 BEHIND, 1 TRACKING, 1 ILLEGAL). The REST path is kept as a fallback for a GraphQL outage. 2. Traps must never reference a `local`. `trap 'rm -rf "$d"' RETURN` is inherited, so it fired when OTHER functions returned, where `$d` is unbound under `set -u`; the same fault applied to `$work` in the EXIT trap. Both aborted the run AFTER the census was written, so the census looked complete while the process exited non-zero. Replaced with an explicit cleanup and a global with a `:-` guard.

NOT part of the applier change, and recorded here so it is not mistaken for scope creep. `.machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml` is stale on `main` itself: the `toolchain-readiness-grades/` content moved without the derived registry being regenerated, so `build-registry.sh --check` fails on every PR opened against main, including this one. This is the mechanical output of `bash scripts/build-registry.sh` and touches exactly one line. Carried here only to unblock the branch.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/apply-workflow-pins.yml:
- Line 97: Update the owner iteration and GitHub CLI authentication in the
workflow so each owner uses its matching installation token, consuming both
tok-user and tok-org instead of a process-wide GH_TOKEN. In fix mode, validate
that every token required by the selected owners is available before repository
enumeration; preserve the documented audit fallback only where applicable.
In `@scripts/apply-workflow-pins-remote.sh`:
- Around line 311-317: Update the workflow retrieval loop around the gh api
calls in the remote census path to preserve and propagate directory or file
download failures instead of suppressing them with stderr redirection and rm.
Ensure an API error aborts the census or produces an explicit FETCH-FAILED
result for the repository, rather than treating missing downloaded workflows as
successful absence.
- Line 355: Update the GraphQL request construction in the commit-creation flow
using the -F input payload so CreateCommitOnBranchInput is transmitted as an
object rather than a JSON string. Build the complete request body and pipe it to
gh via --input -, or use equivalent nested field syntax while preserving the
existing branch, expectedHeadOid, message, and fileChanges values.
- Line 89: Update ILLEGAL_RE so classify_file treats only ../ and $/ workflow
references as illegal, while preserving ./ references as legal. Add a self-test
covering a valid ./ workflow reference and verify --repair-illegal leaves it
unchanged.

Select the installation token for each owner.
tok-user is the only token passed to APP_USER and GH_TOKEN. tok-org is never consumed. The applier iterates over OWNERS, but all GitHub CLI calls use the process-wide GH_TOKEN; it has no per-owner token selection.
The workflow states that an installation token is scoped to one owner. If tok-user is present and tok-org fails, the gate still passes and the applier can fail to read or write metadatastician repositories with the hyperpolymath token. Audit mode can also fall back to GITHUB_TOKEN, but tok-org remains unused.
Run each owner with its matching token. If fix mode includes both owners, require both tokens before enumeration.

Do not classify legal ./ workflow references as ILLEGAL.
ILLEGAL_RE matches both ./ and ../, although ./.github/workflows/x.yml is legal. classify_file therefore reports valid local workflows as ILLEGAL. With --repair-illegal, rewrite_illegal does not match ./, so the valid reference remains unchanged while the census reports a false issue.
Restrict the expression to ../ and $/, and add a self-test for a legal ./ reference.
Proposed fix

Fail when workflow retrieval is incomplete.
These commands discard directory and file retrieval errors. A failed file download is removed, and main treats the missing workflow as if it did not exist.
A permission error, rate limit, or transient API failure can therefore produce an incomplete but apparently successful census.
Propagate retrieval failures. Abort the census or emit an explicit FETCH-FAILED record for the repository.

Pass CreateCommitOnBranchInput as an object.
The mutation declares $input as CreateCommitOnBranchInput!. In gh 2.98.0, -F sends non-query fields as GraphQL variables, but it only converts recognised scalar literals. The JSON text remains a string, so GraphQL rejects $input before creating the commit.
Construct the complete GraphQL request body and pass it through --input -, or use nested field syntax.

What this is
A scheduled applier (owner ruling STD-R-3), not a sweep. It walks the estate on a cadence and re-points each consumer repository's pinned reference to the current
standardsreusable-workflow SHA.Why it is needed
A fix landed in
standardsdoes not reach its callers. Measured 2026-09-15: 28 of 29 live remote callers are SHA-pinned and exactly one (affinescript) tracks@main. A pinned caller keeps consuming a broken commit until something re-points it.scripts/propagate-workflow-pins.shalready holds the proven rewrite core, but it walks local checkouts and deliberately never commits — a human must run it once per repo. This closes that gap.Five pin classes, not one
The failure signature
failure+ 0 jobs +name == pathhas at least four distinct causes, so the signature alone never proves which. The applier classifies each pin:FRESHBEHINDstandardscommit — re-pointDEAD-REFILLEGALuses: ../../…— rejected at parse time, so the run dies before any job starts (issue #808)TRACKING@mainor another non-SHA ref — reported, not rewrittenSafety properties
--fixis required to write anything.mainserver-side. On 2026-09-04 a squash-merged intermediate commit was addressable through the contents API but unusable as a cross-repo workflow ref, and pinning to it broke 251 workflow files across 70 repos.Verified(viacreateCommitOnBranch).required_signaturesis the dominant campaign blocker — an unsigned applier would open PRs that can never merge.Credential — owner action required
vars.APP_ID+secrets.APP_PRIVATE_KEYfor a dedicated App, explicitly not OikosBot. OikosBot is named as a ruleset bypass actor; an applier authenticating as it would be permanently exempt from the rules it exists to uphold. The App needscontents: write+pull_requests: write, installed on bothhyperpolymathandmetadatastician.Until that App exists this PR is still useful: audit mode runs on
GITHUB_TOKENand produces the census. Onlymode: fixis blocked.Tests
tests/test_apply_workflow_pins_remote.shis mutation-based. Five mutants reintroduce real defects verbatim; each must be killed by the named control, and each isbash -n-checked first so a parse error is never mistaken for a kill.One mutant earned its keep: a rewrite anchored on the SHA rather than on the
standardspath silently re-pointsactions/checkoutat a standards commit — and it passed both pre-existing controls. That is why the third-party-pin control was added.Verification done locally
