ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #79
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 is now a report-only compliance canary. It runs weekly or manually, performs read-only checks, reports findings, and fails when would-mutate drift exists. Dangerous verification-bypass findings remain advisory. ChangesCompliance canary
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The compliance canary runs checkout code from a mutable third-party tag. Pinning it to the established v7.0.1 commit prevents a moved or compromised tag from changing code executed by scheduled runs. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Restore the immutable checkout pin.
actions/checkout@v7.0.1 is a mutable tag. A moved or compromised tag can execute different action code during a scheduled or manual run.
Use the repository's existing v7.0.1 commit pin:

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.
