- Line 187: Update the delivery-action identity check in the discovery logic
around ref.Owner and ref.Repo to compare both values case-insensitively,
preserving the exclusion behavior for differently cased GitHub owner and
repository names.
- Around line 85-95: Update DiscoverActionCache to resolve complete action roots
for refs containing slashes, using runner metadata or an action manifest rather
than treating each immediate child as the ref or assuming a fixed directory
depth. Ensure the resulting ActionRef.Ref and Path preserve the full ref
identity before CurationActionsCommand passes it to Decide.
- Around line 55-56: Update the traversal logic in CurationActionsCommand.Run to
return errors encountered while reading existing owner or repository directories
instead of logging and skipping them. Preserve the existing successful empty
result when the cache root itself is missing, as handled by os.IsNotExist(err),
while propagating all other traversal errors.

Curates the third-party GitHub Actions that actually resolved on a job's runner. Actions are discovered from the runner's _actions cache directory structure, then cross-referenced against the job's workflow YAML and each action's own action.yml to attribute subpaths and transitive parents. Entries not traceable to the current workflow are filtered out so a stale cache entry on a reused runner cannot fail a compliant workflow. The command is registered as hidden, so it is not discoverable through help or command listings while the curation decision is still a stand-in - there is no Artifactory/Catalog package type for GitHub Actions yet. Results are reported to the console and recorded through the existing "security" job-summary manager, so the generate-summary-markdown pipeline picks them up unchanged.

The phrase "replacing otherwise the job goes on running the image" is missing a clause boundary, so the sentence cannot be parsed. Rewrite these lines to state the two facts separately: a Rejected result is only recorded today, and a Docker-based action also needs its runner-built image rebuilt when a compliant version is selected.

devbranch.go vet ./....go fmt ./....Why
Curation today covers packages resolved through package managers, but not the third-party GitHub Actions a CI job executes — which are arbitrary code running with the job's permissions and token. This adds
jf curate-gh-actions, which curates the actions a job actually resolved.How actions are discovered
Discovery reads the runner's
_actionscache directory rather than the workflow YAML. The runner materializes resolved actions there before the job's steps run, including ones pulled in transitively by another action'saction.ymlthat never appear in the job's own workflow file. The filesystem is therefore the complete and verifiable account of what will execute; YAML parsing is used solely to explain what was found (subpath and parent attribution), never to decide what exists.That distinction is also a security property: an action's
action.ymlis attacker-controlled content if the action is malicious. Attribution only accepts a declareduses:reference if a matching entry is actually present on disk, so a declaration alone can never introduce an entry into the report.The workflow YAML itself is not on disk when this runs: the command executes before
actions/checkout, soGITHUB_WORKSPACEis empty. Verified on GitHub-hosted, GHES self-hosted, and a local runner + pre-job hook._work/_actionsholds everything resolved at job prep by then, including transitive actions and ones behindif: false.Identifying an action, and where its ref ends. The layout is
<owner>/<repo>/<ref>, but<ref>is a git ref and may contain/— a branch such ascopilot/backport-v4lands at_actions/actions/checkout/copilot/backport-v4, a level deeper than a tag. Reading a fixed three levels reportsactions/checkout@copilot, an identity no action has, and leaves the one that actually executes uncurated. So the walk asks the runner where each ref ends: the runner marks that boundary itself, either by writing<ref>.completedbeside a directory it extracted, or — when serving fromACTIONS_RUNNER_ACTION_ARCHIVE_CACHE— by making the entry a symlink to an already-unpacked copy. Neither marker ever appears on a subpath inside an action, which is what keepsgithub/codeql-action@v3from being reported asv3/initandv3/analyze. Measured on a hosted runner across three monorepos: 11 subpath manifests, 4 watermarks, every watermark on a ref root. The walk prunes at a marker and never reads inside an action, so a repo of plain refs costs onereaddirhowever many refs it holds. There is no depth cap on the descent either: a ref's intermediate directories hold nothing but the next segment, so the walk continues while a level still looks like a path segment and stops at the first one holding content of its own. A fixed segment count would have to be wrong in one direction or the other — cutting short a legitimately deep branch ref such asrelease/2024/q1/hotfix/v2, or walking several levels into an action that carries no marker at all.An entry it cannot account for fails the command. A directory that cannot be listed or resolved, or one carrying no marker at or below it, is an action whose curation status cannot be established — the same position as one the decision service cannot reach a verdict on, and now handled the same way. The command names every such entry and exits non-zero rather than reporting a clean run over the remainder. Entries it understands and knows hold no action — a stray file, an owner directory with no repositories, a watermark — are still skipped silently.
--actions-cache-dirconsequently requires the same<ref>.completedmarkers a runner writes, since that marker is what identifies an action.flowchart TD A["Walk _actions cache — owner/repo/ref<br/>ref depth set by .completed marker or symlink"] --> A2{"Any entry<br/>unaccounted for?"} A2 -- yes --> A3["Fail — names every entry,<br/>no report, no job summary"] A2 -- no --> B{"Cache empty?"} B -- yes --> C["Nothing to curate — exit 0"] B -- no --> D{"Workflow file<br/>available?"} D -- yes --> E["ATTRIBUTED — parse uses: lines for this job,<br/>walk composite action.yml outward,<br/>add Parent/Subpath where it can be established"] D -- no --> F["STRUCTURE-ONLY — cache as-is,<br/>no Parent or Subpath attribution"] E --> G["Exclude jfrog/setup-jfrog-cli"] F --> G G --> H["Resolve Artifactory repo<br/>from GITHUB_REPOSITORY"] H --> I["Curation decision per action"] I --> J{"Any undecidable?"} J -- yes --> K["Fail — no report,<br/>no job summary"] J -- no --> L["Console report + job summary<br/>Parent column only when attributed"] L --> M{"Any not Approved?"} M -- yes --> N["Non-zero exit"] M -- no --> O["Job continues"]Scope, and the two modes
The cache is already this job's action list. Each job runs on its own runner, and the runner clears
_actionsat job start — measured on a persistent self-hosted runner,_actionsbefore job-b contained only job-b's actions, job-a's were gone. Cross-referencing therefore adds attribution rather than narrowing scope or guarding against staleness.GITHUB_WORKFLOW_REF+GITHUB_JOB(--workflow-file/--workflow-jobto override) scope attribution, not curation: they decide whichuses:lines an entry may be traced back to, never which entries get decided. Attributing from a different job in the same file would label an entry with a parent that never pulled it in, so that fallback was removed.Two modes, on whether a workflow file was supplied:
Parent/Subpath, report has aParentcolumnParentcolumnThey differ in report detail, never in coverage — every entry in the cache is decided either way. So an unknown job id means "cannot attribute", never "nothing to curate". The same holds in the other direction, which is what makes the two modes symmetric: attribution is additive and never drops an entry. One it cannot place — a remote action pulled in by an
action.ymlthis parser cannot read — keeps an emptyParentrather than being filtered out. Unestablished relevance is not established irrelevance, and an action the runner resolved will execute whether or not this code can explain why it is there.Outside what this command can see, rather than something it decides and drops: an action pulled in by a
run:step is never resolved into_actionsat all; a remote action referenced only by a local composite action (uses: ./...) is resolved when that step executes, after this command has run; and auses: docker://<image>step resolves to a container reference the runner pulls during job setup rather than into the action cache -jf curation-audit --imagealready curates those.Behaviour notes
Refs are reported verbatim, not interpreted. A ref comes straight from the cache directory name. Classifying it as a SHA versus a mutable tag or branch cannot be done reliably from the string alone — a branch may legitimately be named like a hex string — so that responsibility belongs to whoever calls the real decision service.
Monorepo actions.
github/codeql-action/init@v3andgithub/codeql-action/analyze@v3resolve to a single cache entry, so subpaths are collected as a set rather than a single value. Each subpath's ownaction.ymlis read for its transitive references; the cache root is consulted only when no subpath was used.Symlinked cache entries are followed. With
ACTIONS_RUNNER_SYMLINK_CACHED_ACTIONSset, the runner links<owner>/<repo>/<ref>straight at a copy already unpacked underACTIONS_RUNNER_ACTION_ARCHIVE_CACHEinstead of extracting a fresh directory. Discovery stats through the link, sinceDirEntry.IsDiranswers from the directory entry's own type and would skip exactly those entries — curating a subset of the job while reporting a clean run over all of it.Transitive attribution walks to full depth and is cycle-safe: each (action, metadata location) pair is scanned at most once, and since those pairs are finite every round must consume one not seen before. That dedup is what ends the walk; a round bound sized by the entry count sits behind it purely as a backstop against a regression in the dedup, not as a limit on legitimate nesting.
Fail-closed points: any action not Approved, and any action that cannot be decided — the latter produces no report and no job summary, since a partial one reads as clean.
The gate is an allow-list rather than a test for Rejected.
ActionCurationStatusis an open string type, so a status this code does not recognize — one a later decider introduces, or the zero value of a result returned without one — would pass a deny-list while rendering as an empty cell. Only an explicit approval clears it, and the error names every action that did not clear with the status it carried. The real decider replaces the verdict, not the enforcement.A workflow file that cannot be parsed costs attribution, not the run. Whether the file can be read is the caller's assertion to get wrong, so an explicit
--workflow-filethat is missing or relative still fails. What it turns out to contain is not: a workflow this parser cannot parse, or one that does not declare the job, degrades to structure-only on the explicit and the derived path alike. GitHub's YAML reader accepts inputyaml.v3rejects — duplicate mapping keys — and that divergence is no grounds for failing a job whose cache is still the complete account of what executes. It is the same viewaction.ymlparsing already takes one level down.Casing is preserved, so one action can appear twice. The runner names the cache directory verbatim from the
uses:line and keys its downloads on that string, souses: Actions/Checkout@v4alongsideuses: actions/checkout@v4yields both_actions/Actions/Checkout/v4and_actions/actions/checkout/v4— two entries for one action. Measured on a hosted runner, as was the same commit pinned in upper- and lower-case hex; a tag differing only in case does not resolve at all, since git refs are case-sensitive. Attribution matches that verbatim casing, which is why its comparison is case-sensitive while the delivery-action exclusion folds case. Normalizing owner, repo and hex refs belongs in the real decision client, so that a case-sensitive catalog lookup cannot hand two spellings of one action different verdicts.Mocked seams, both swappable via interfaces: the curation decision, and the GitHub-repo → Artifactory-repo mapping (resolved from
GITHUB_REPOSITORY; failure is fatal since no policy means no decision).Reporting reuses the existing
securitycommand-summary manager rather than registering a new one, sogenerate-summary-markdownandsetup-jfrog-clipick the report up with no change required in those repos.jfrog/setup-jfrog-cliis excluded at every ref: it delivers the check rather than being subject to it.Not user-facing yet
The command is registered as
Hidden, so merging this does not expose it to users — it does not appear injfhelp output or command listings (verified: the command name appears 6 times in help output without the flag, 0 times with it). It remains invocable by name for development and testing, matching howsource-mcpandsast-serverare handled in this repo.The reason it stays hidden: the curation decision itself is a stand-in, because there is no Artifactory/Catalog package type for GitHub Actions yet. It sits behind a single-method interface so the real client drops in without touching discovery, attribution, or reporting — and the
Hiddenflag comes off in the same change that wires up the real decision service.Summary by CodeRabbit
