Summary

This fixes three defects from #963 and #969. Codex flagged them after those PRs had already merged. It also tightens the REUSE licence rule after CodeRabbit's review here.

Changes

lib/rules/secret_scanning_alerts.ex (from #969)

  • Pagination: the fetch read only the first page of 100 alerts, so sweep/2 returned status: ok with older open, stale or badly dismissed alerts missing. It now follows GitHub's Link: rel="next" header until the last page.
    • It only follows links on api.github.com, because the token goes with every request.
    • Past 50 pages (5,000 alerts) it returns an error rather than a truncated list.
  • Timeout: the curl call had no deadline, so one stalled repository could hang an estate-wide sweep. Each request now has --max-time 30, and a timeout (curl exit 28) is reported as GitHub API request timed out after 30s.
  • Header parsing: responses are read with curl -i so the Link header is available. If an HTTPS proxy adds its own "Connection established" header block first, it's skipped.

lib/scorecard_ingestor.ex and lib/rules/root_hygiene.ex (from #963)

  • SC-010 now agrees with root hygiene. The local Scorecard licence check still rejected LICENSE.adoc and REUSE LICENSES/, so a single scan reported both "licence present" (root hygiene) and "No LICENSE file found" (SC-010). It now accepts LICENSE.adoc and calls root hygiene's REUSE check.
  • RootHygiene.reuse_licenses?/1 is now public. The REUSE rule has one definition instead of two copies that could drift apart.

REUSE strictness (e5f5a7a, owner decision on CodeRabbit's finding)

  • The problem: a LICENSES/ file used to count if it was any non-empty <name>.<ext>. So LICENSES/notes.txt alone passed both licence checks.
  • The fix: its stem must now be on the SPDX License List or be a REUSE LicenseRef- id. Matching is exact.
  • Why a list, not a filename rule: real identifiers such as curl and blessing are lowercase, so no heuristic separates them from notes. The list is vendored instead:
    • priv/spdx/license-ids.txt holds SPDX License List 3.29.0: 740 identifiers, deprecated ones included. Its header records the source tag.
    • scripts/refresh-spdx-license-ids.sh <tag> regenerates the file and refuses a suspiciously short download.
    • Hypatia.SPDX reads the file at compile time, so the escript needs no priv/ at run time.
  • Owner action: the vendored list is third-party data. I have not added a .reuse/dep5 entry for it, because licence records are yours to make.

Testing

Run with plain Elixir 1.14 and a local JSON stand-in, as for #969. Hex isn't reachable from here, and CI's mix test uses the real Jason.

  • Overall: 84 of 84 pass across secret_scanning_alerts_test.exs, root_hygiene_test.exs, scorecard_ingestor_license_test.exs, scorecard_ingestor_security_policy_test.exs (regression guard) and the new spdx_test.exs.
  • Behaviour tests fail on the old code. The 10 tests from the first commit fail against main. The two notes.txt tests fail against the previous reuse_licenses?/1.
    • parse_page/1: the next link, the last page, the proxy header block, and an error page.
    • collect_pages/2: two pages joined, a next link to another host refused, a failed later page failing the whole fetch, the page cap raising an error, and exactly 50 requests before the cap.
    • SC-010: LICENSE.adoc, REUSE and LicenseRef- pass. A .gitkeep-only LICENSES/ and a notes.txt fail.
    • Hypatia.SPDX: listed, lowercase, deprecated and LicenseRef- ids count; other names and case variants do not.
  • Formatting: mix format --check-formatted passes on every changed file. shellcheck passes on the refresh script.

…LICENSE.adoc

Three defects in #963 and #969, found by review after they merged.

- Secret-scanning alerts: the fetch read only the first page (100), so
  `sweep/2` reported `status: ok` with older open alerts missing. It now
  follows GitHub's `Link: rel="next"` pages, only on api.github.com (the
  token goes with every request), and returns an error past 50 pages
  rather than a truncated list.
- The curl call had no deadline, so one stalled repo could hang an
  estate-wide sweep. Each request now has `--max-time 30`; a timeout is
  reported as such.
- SC-010 (local Scorecard licence check) still rejected LICENSE.adoc and
  REUSE LICENSES/, contradicting root hygiene in the same scan. It now
  accepts LICENSE.adoc and uses root hygiene's REUSE check
  (`RootHygiene.reuse_licenses?/1`, now public) so the two agree.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Licence checks now recognise qualifying licence text files in LICENSES/, alongside the existing supported licence files.
    • Secret scanning alerts now include results from multiple pages, so repositories with many alerts can show a more complete list.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Alert retrieval now reports errors when it cannot complete pagination or exceeds its page limit, rather than returning incomplete results.
    • Pagination is restricted to GitHub’s API host.

The changes align Scorecard licence checks with the shared REUSE rule. Secret-scanning alert requests now parse pagination headers, collect results across pages, and enforce request-time and page-count limits.

Changes: REUSE licence checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared REUSE licence check
lib/rules/root_hygiene.ex, lib/scorecard_ingestor.ex, test/scorecard_ingestor_license_test.exs
reuse_licenses?/1 is public. The Scorecard licence check accepts qualifying files under LICENSES/. Tests cover named licence files, REUSE files, and missing licences.

Secret-scanning alert pagination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request limits and response parsing
lib/rules/secret_scanning_alerts.ex, test/secret_scanning_alerts_test.exs
Requests apply a 30-second timeout and retain response headers. Parsing extracts alerts and next-page links, and handles multiple header blocks and API errors.
Paginated alert collection
lib/rules/secret_scanning_alerts.ex, test/secret_scanning_alerts_test.exs
Alert collection follows GitHub API next links and combines page results. It returns errors for off-host links, later-page request failures, and page-limit overflow.

Repositories with unrelated files in LICENSES/ may receive an incorrect licence result. Tighten that check before merging if accurate licence reporting is required; the pagination concern is a test gap.

hyperpolymath added a commit to hyperpolymath/rsr-template-repo that referenced this pull request Oct 27, 2026
#261)

## Summary

The template pins Hypatia at `d73f76b`. That version predates two fixes:
- hyperpolymath/hypatia#960: accepts the repo deed `<repo>_chora.deed`
as the AI manifest.
- hyperpolymath/hypatia#963: accepts `LICENSE.adoc` and REUSE
`LICENSES/` as the licence.

Under the old pin the template raised a **critical** "Required file
missing: LICENSE" and a **high** `0-AI-MANIFEST` finding, so the
zero-critical gate in the Hypatia Security Scan and the Static Analysis
Gate failed. This was the bump promised in
#258.

## Changes

- The pin moves from `d73f76b` to Hypatia `main` at `7c10e5d`, which
includes #960, #963 and #969.
- It's updated in all three workflows that carry it, so they stay on one
version: `hypatia-scan.yml` (`HYPATIA_SHA`), `static-analysis-gate.yml`
and `dogfood-gate.yml`.
- `hypatia-scan.yml`'s cache key reads `HYPATIA_SHA` since #258, so it
follows on its own.
- The other two have the SHA in their cache keys, and those are updated
in place.

## Testing

- **Root hygiene at `7c10e5d`:** I ran the rule against this repo's root
and it returns **no findings**. At `d73f76b` it returned the critical
and the high.
- **Schema:** all three workflows validate against the GitHub workflow
schema (SchemaStore).
- **Old pin:** no copy of the old SHA remains in the tree.
`actions.lock` is unaffected, because this SHA is a git ref, not an
action pin.
- **Full scan:** I couldn't build the full scanner locally because Hex
is unreachable. This PR's Hypatia Security Scan and Static Analysis Gate
runs are the end-to-end check.

## Follow-up

hyperpolymath/hypatia#970 (open) makes SC-010, a Low-severity finding
that doesn't block, accept `LICENSE.adoc`. It also adds pagination and a
timeout to the secret-scanning sweep. Once it merges, a second small
bump picks it up.

`RootHygiene.reuse_licenses?/1`, which SC-010 also uses, accepted any
non-empty `LICENSES/<name>.<ext>`. A repository with no licence but a
`LICENSES/notes.txt` therefore passed both licence checks (CodeRabbit on
this PR).

The stem now has to be on the SPDX License List or be a REUSE
`LicenseRef-` id. A filename heuristic can't do this: real identifiers
such as `curl` and `blessing` are lowercase. So the list is vendored:

- priv/spdx/license-ids.txt: the 740 identifiers of SPDX License List
  3.29.0, deprecated ones included. Its header records the source tag.
- scripts/refresh-spdx-license-ids.sh <tag>: regenerates the file and
  refuses a suspiciously short download.
- Hypatia.SPDX reads the file at compile time, so the escript needs no
  priv/ at run time. Matching is exact, as REUSE requires.

Also adds CodeRabbit's boundary test: the alert fetch stops after exactly
50 requests when every page has a next link.

hyperpolymath added a commit to hyperpolymath/rsr-template-repo that referenced this pull request Oct 27, 2026
#262)

## Summary

This moves the template's pinned Hypatia commit from `7c10e5d` (#261) to
`be98f74`, the merge commit of hyperpolymath/hypatia#970. It brings in
four scanner changes:

- **Secret-scanning alerts:** fetches follow pagination, time out after
30 s per request, and report an error instead of a truncated list.
- **SC-010 (local Scorecard licence check):** accepts `LICENSE.adoc` and
REUSE `LICENSES/`, so it agrees with root hygiene. Before, one scan
could report both "licence present" and "No LICENSE file found".
- **REUSE `LICENSES/`:** a file counts only if its name is an SPDX
identifier (vendored list, SPDX 3.29.0) or a `LicenseRef-` id. A stray
`LICENSES/notes.txt` no longer passes.
- **RE001:** now scoped to credentials exposed to code the job cannot
vouch for (hyperpolymath/hypatia#966).

## Changes

- `.github/workflows/hypatia-scan.yml`: `HYPATIA_SHA`. The cache key
follows it.
- `.github/workflows/static-analysis-gate.yml`: the escript cache key
and the fetch.
- `.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml`: the checkout `ref` and the
oracle cache key.

`7c10e5d` appeared nowhere else in the repository.

## RSR Quality Checklist

### Required

- [x] Tests pass: this PR's own `Hypatia Security Scan`,
`static-analysis-gate` and `dogfood-gate` runs exercise the new pin.
Those are the checks that matter here.
- [x] Code is formatted (pin values only; no structural change)
- [x] Linter is clean (all three workflows still parse)
- [x] No banned language patterns
- [x] No `unsafe` blocks without `// SAFETY:` comments
- [x] No banned functions
- [x] SPDX licence headers present (unchanged files)
- [x] No secrets, credentials, or `.env` files included

### As Applicable

None apply: this is a pin bump with no change to state, integrations,
architecture or dependencies.

## Testing

- Every `7c10e5d` occurrence is replaced (`grep` finds none left), and
the three workflows parse.
- The new scanner's REUSE and licence behaviour is unit-tested in
hyperpolymath/hypatia#970: 84 of 84 pass locally, and CI there was green
before merge.
- I could not run the full scan locally, because hex.pm is unreachable
from this environment. The scan runs on this PR are the end-to-end
check.

**Downstream:** repositories synced from the template, including
echo-types since hyperpolymath/echo-types#356, keep `7c10e5d` until they
re-sync.
