fix(ci-pipeline): make report the single judge, and read the ledger at job.workflow_sha - #989
Conversation
…t job.workflow_sha The pipeline exemption ledger could never grant an exemption, and its pin could never have been read. Three defects, one cure. 1. TWO JUDGES. `detect` did its own `exit 1` when it found no gated ecosystem, while the exemption ledger lives in `report` and can spare only `report`'s `exit 1`. A ledgered repository therefore still went red on `detect` and could never actually go green — the vacuous gate's mirror image: a ledger that can never say yes. `detect` now publishes the refusal as an output and stays green; `report` reads it in its own `if:` and remains the only job that can fail the run. It still fails closed: an unreadable or empty ledger blocks exactly as before. 2. AN UNFETCHABLE PIN. The ledger checkout read `ref: a2ff696`, an abbreviated object id, and the git wire protocol cannot fetch one — `git fetch origin a2ff696` fails with "couldn't find remote ref" where the full 40-hex succeeds. The checkout always failed. `continue-on-error` kept the verdict correct (unreadable == empty == blocked), so nothing looked broken, but every exemption added would have been silently vacuous. It now reads `${{ job.workflow_sha }}` — "the commit SHA of the workflow file that defines the current job", i.e. exactly the SHA the caller pinned. This keeps the property the hand-pin existed for (an edit to `standards@main` cannot change an already-pinned caller's verdict) while removing the manual bump, and it makes the old comment's promise — "the pin and the first entry move in the SAME commit" — literally true. ⚠ NOT `github.workflow_sha`: in a called reusable that is the CALLER's file. ⚠ NOT `github.job_workflow_sha`: that name does not exist in the `github` context at all — it is an OIDC token claim. The workflow identity properties live on the `job` context, which is available in `steps.*.with` and `steps.*.env`. They are unavailable on GHES. ⚠ `git cat-file -t a2ff696` answers `commit` locally, so a local probe cannot falsify a claim about remote fetchability. The verdict step now prints the SHA it read the ledger at, and raises an explicit `::error::` if it is ever empty. A fail-closed verdict with no explanation is precisely how defect 2 stayed invisible. 3. A NOTICE THAT WOULD HAVE LIED. The ledgered notice said "the gates below REALLY FAILED". For a refusal no gate ran at all, so the verdict text now branches: gate-failed debt is fixable here, no-gate debt is not. Also extends the Idris2 probe to `*.idr`, not just `*.ipkg`. Idris2 sources routinely ship without a package file (ddraig-ssg tracks 4 `.idr` and no `.ipkg`). Extension-keyed probes stay the exception — `.v` deliberately is not one, being Coq and Verilog too — but `.idr` is unambiguous, exactly like the existing `*.hs` and `*.res`. This converts detector blindness into honest measured debt; it does not make the repository green. Seeds the ledger with the 5-repo dry-run pilot's MEASURED verdicts, which is the seeding method the ledger header itself prescribes. Four refused at `detect`: their ecosystems (Julia, Lean, Isabelle, Ada, Idris2) have zero overlap with the gated set. hyperpolymath/cicd-squabbler is deliberately NOT listed — its `detect` passed, and a slug for a passing gate is a vacuous entry that would inflate the printed denominator while exempting nothing. Ratchet-exception: .machine_readable/pipeline-allow.txt — seeding the ledger with the 5-repo pilot's measured refusals. Four repositories are written in ecosystems this pipeline has no gate for (Julia, Lean, Isabelle, Ada, Idris2), so nothing was checked and nothing can be fixed in those repositories; retired per-line by #967 as real gates land.

… tests Follow-up to the same branch. Making `detect` publish its refusal as an output rather than an `exit 1` changed three things that had not been carried through, each of which would have asserted something false. 1. `scripts/tests/detect-ecosystem-test.sh` keyed every refusal assertion on RC. RC is now 0 on a refusal by design, so those checks went red — correctly. Re-keyed onto the new `refused` output. This matters most for MUTANT 2, whose whole job is to prove the accumulator separation is what drives the refusal: left on RC it would have compared 0 to 0 and passed vacuously forever. Positive controls added so the verdict must be written `false` on the green paths, not merely left unset. Verified by deleting the `refused=` write: 7 failures, restored 0. 2. The report table read `| Detect | pass | ran |` on a refused repository, because `row()` maps the job's `success` to the word "pass". That is the exact opposite of what happened. It now prints REFUSED and the reason. 3. `secret-scan` and `sast` carry no `needs: detect`, so they run and can fail on a repository that ALSO refused. The verdict message treated the two debts as either/or and would have printed "NOTHING WAS CHECKED" over a secret-scan that really did fail. It now states both when both hold.

Why
The pipeline exemption ledger could never have granted an exemption, and its pin could never have been read. Both were invisible because the wrong answer and the right answer coincided. Found while seeding the ledger from the 5-repo pilot.
1. Two judges — the ledger could never say yes
detectdid its ownexit 1when it found no gated ecosystem. The exemption ledger lives inreport, and can spare onlyreport'sexit 1. So a ledgered repository still went red ondetect: the run failed anyway, andreportprinted a cheerful::notice::beside it.That is the vacuous gate's mirror image — a ledger that can never say yes. The owner's ruling was "blocking where the pipeline is green, ledgered where it is not"; the second half was unreachable.
detectnow publishes its refusal as an output and stays green.reportreads it in its ownif:and is the single judge that can fail the run.It still fails closed: an unreadable or empty ledger blocks exactly as before.
2. The pin was unfetchable
The ledger checkout read
ref: a2ff696a— an abbreviated object id, which the git wire protocol cannot fetch. Measured against the live remote:So the checkout always failed.
continue-on-error: truemeant the verdict stayed correct (unreadable == empty == blocked) and nothing looked broken — but every exemption ever added would have been silently vacuous, while the job printedpipeline debt: 0 reposcomputed from the file it could not read.It now reads
${{ job.workflow_sha }}— "the commit SHA of the workflow file that defines the current job", i.e. exactly the SHA the caller pinned. This keeps in full the property the hand-pin existed for (an edit tostandards@maincannot change an already-pinned caller's verdict), removes the manual bump forever, and makes the old comment's promise — "the pin and the first entry move in the SAME commit" — literally true instead of aspirational.It also collapses what the literal reading demanded: add-slugs → squash
S1, bump-ref-to-S1→ squashS2, re-pin callers toS2. Three waves become one, because a commit cannot contain its own SHA.The verdict step now prints the SHA it read the ledger at and raises an explicit
::error::if it is ever empty. A fail-closed verdict with no explanation is precisely how defect 2 hid.3. A notice that would have lied
The ledgered notice said "the gates below REALLY FAILED". On a refusal no gate ran at all. The verdict text now branches: gate-failed debt is fixable in that repository; no-gate debt is not, and says so.
Idris2 probe
Extended to
*.idr, not just*.ipkg— Idris2 sources routinely ship without a package file (ddraig-ssgtracks 4.idrand no.ipkg, so the pipeline could not see it at all).Extension-keyed probes remain the exception:
.vis deliberately not one, being Coq and Verilog too..idris unambiguous, exactly like the existing*.hsand*.res.This converts detector blindness into honest measured debt. It does not make the repository green.
Ledger seed — the pilot's measured verdicts
The ledger header prescribes the method: "The honest seed is a dry-run wave: adopt the caller in a deliberate sample, record the real verdict per repository, and add only what actually went red." That is what these four are.
hyperpolymath/AcceleratorGate.jlhyperpolymath/ddraig-ssghyperpolymath/modshellshyperpolymath/tropical-typesAll four refused at
detect: their ecosystems have zero overlap with the gated set (Rust, Nickel, ReScript, V, Haskell, Deno-refusal). Nothing was checked, so nothing can be fixed in those repositories.hyperpolymath/cicd-squabbleris deliberately NOT listed. Itsdetectpassed; its reds come from other workflows entirely. A slug for a repository whose gate already passes is a vacuous entry — it would inflate the denominator this ledger prints while exempting nothing.Why ledger rather than gate these ecosystems: Lean 4 and Isabelle have no native
--checkformatter or linter. The only gate is a fulllake build/isabelle build(hours for the latter), which is not the fast native check this pipeline is specified around, anddetect's own comment forbids promotingROOTon that evidence. Julia is the one clean check form (JuliaFormatter.format(p; overwrite=false)returns a Bool) and is a separate follow-up, not a gate on this PR.Each line retires via #967 when a real gate lands.
Verification

The defect was bounded to this one line.Follow-up (not in this PR)
Re-pin the five pilot callers to this PR's squash SHA.
Follow-up commit — three consequences of the contract change
Moving
detect's refusal from anexit 1to an output changed what threeother places mean. Each was saying something false until this commit.
1.
scripts/tests/detect-ecosystem-test.shwent red, correctly. It keyedevery refusal assertion on RC, which is now
0on a refusal by design.Re-keyed onto the new
refusedoutput. This matters most for MUTANT 2,whose entire job is to prove that the
TOTAL/N_UNSUPPORTEDseparation iswhat drives the refusal: left asserting
RC == 0, it would have compared0to0and passed vacuously forever — a dead control that still printsok. Positive controls added so the verdict must be writtenfalseon thegreen paths rather than merely left unset. Confirmed discriminating by
deleting the
refused=write: 7 failures; restored, 0.2. The report table called a refusal a pass.
row()maps the job resultsuccessto the word "pass", anddetectnow succeeds as a job when itrefuses. The Detect row printed
| Detect | pass | ran |over a repositorywhere nothing had been examined. It now prints
REFUSEDand the reason.3. The verdict treated two debts as either/or.
secret-scanandsastcarry no
needs: detect, so they run — and can fail — on a repository thatalso refused. The message would have printed "NOTHING WAS CHECKED" over a
secret scan that really did fail, understating a live finding in order to
describe a missing gate. It now states both when both hold.

standardsdoes not call its own

It has now been tested directly, without merging anything and without opening
a PR. A throwaway branch on

persists.

in the unit suite: a Julia-only repo refused, stayed green because the
ledger exempted it, and said plainly in its own summary that nothing was
checked. That is the intended behaviour of all three changes at once.
This does not remove the staged-rollout requirement. The wave should still
