From ac2a6b1584a9efdc414e79ed49978fdbc06bbde3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jonathan D.A. Jewell" <6759885+hyperpolymath@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 06:46:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] security: re-pin secret scanner onto the real gitleaks gate MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The caller pinned standards' secret-scanner-reusable at @d135b05 (2026-06-24), which is 64 commits behind standards#500. At that pin the gitleaks step carries `continue-on-error: true` — the scan runs, reports success, and cannot fail. This repo's Secret Scanner has therefore been green while being incapable of failing. Re-pinned to @c65436ee, which contains #500: gitleaks now runs as a pinned, checksum-verified binary with `--exit-code 1` and gates for real. Also narrowed the caller's grant to `contents: read`. The new reusable invokes a binary rather than gitleaks-action, so it no longer requests `pull-requests: write` / `actions: read`.

Not a red: an absence. GitHub rejected the workflow file outright, and a rejected workflow is registered under its FILE PATH instead of its `name:` — which is how this was finally identified (the Actions API reports name == '.github/workflows/secret-scanner.yml'). Two invalid constructs, both from copying job-level syntax onto a job that calls a reusable workflow: * `timeout-minutes:` is not permitted on a `uses:` job. The timeout belongs to the callee, which already sets its own per-job values. * a duplicated `secrets: inherit` key. Python's yaml.safe_load accepts duplicate keys (last wins), so local linting passed; the GitHub Actions parser rejects them. A reusable-workflow call accepts only: uses, with, secrets, needs, if, strategy, concurrency, permissions. Also completes the re-pin this branch was opened for: the pin moves to @c65436ee (the real `--exit-code 1` gitleaks gate) and the caller's grant is narrowed to `contents: read`. Verified before push: the file passes a strict YAML load that rejects duplicate keys, and contains no `timeout-minutes` on the `uses:` job.
