ci: build on GitHub runners, dual-arch, via EduIDE/.github@v1 - #25
Conversation
Repoints the image build at the org-owned reusable workflow. - Drops the dependency on ls1intum/.github@feature/split-build-workflow-modes, an unmerged PR branch in another organisation. - The landing page image is now built for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 on every event, including pull requests. Previously arm64 was skipped for PRs, so a PR image could not be scheduled onto an arm64 node. - Adds the permissions block this workflow was missing. It was the only build workflow in the org without one, relying on default token permissions to push to GHCR. - Fixes the image-tag expression, which read inputs.image_tag on every event rather than only on workflow_dispatch. Also replaces the inert dependabot config. package-ecosystem was left as the empty template placeholder, so dependabot has never run here despite the file existing. Now covers npm, github-actions and docker, with updates grouped so a weekly run produces a couple of PRs rather than a dozen.

GitHub Actions documentation pull_request fork Dependabot GITHUB_TOKEN permissions packages write secrets inherit reusable workflows
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the interaction between pull request triggers, fork security, and workflow permissions is designed to prevent "pwn request" vulnerabilities where untrusted code from a fork could access secrets or write tokens [1][2]. 1. Fork Security and GITHUB_TOKEN: When a workflow is triggered by a pull request from a fork, GitHub automatically restricts the GITHUB_TOKEN to read-only permissions [3][4]. Access to repository and organization secrets is also withheld [1][5]. This applies to events like pull_request and pull_request_review [4]. 2. The pull_request_target Event: Unlike pull_request, the pull_request_target event runs in the context of the base repository [1]. It is inherently trusted, granting the GITHUB_TOKEN read/write access and providing access to secrets [1][3]. Because it runs code from the base repository's default branch rather than the untrusted fork, it is often used for automation like triaging or auto-merging [1][6]. Crucially, using pull_request_target on forks requires extreme caution [5][6]. If a workflow checks out code from the PR head of a fork, it can expose the workflow's elevated permissions to malicious code [2]. As of June 2026, actions/checkout v7 further restricts checking out untrusted fork PR code during pull_request_target workflows by default [2]. 3. Reusable Workflows and secrets: inherit: The secrets: inherit keyword allows a calling workflow to pass all its available secrets to a reusable workflow [7][8]. When using this with pull_request_target, developers must ensure they do not inadvertently grant untrusted PR authors access to sensitive secrets [6]. It is best practice to validate the actor (e.g., if: github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]') before proceeding with sensitive operations [6]. 4. Dependabot and Permissions: Dependabot-triggered PRs run with limited permissions under standard pull_request triggers [6]. To perform automated tasks like auto-merging that require write access, users sometimes shift these workflows to pull_request_target [6]. However, this necessitates strict actor filtering to ensure the workflow only executes for trusted bots, not for arbitrary pull requests from forks [6].

Add a non-publishing path for untrusted pull requests.
The reusable workflow unconditionally pushes architecture digests and manifest tags. Fork and Dependabot pull_request runs receive read-only GITHUB_TOKEN permissions and no repository secrets, so registry publication can fail and prevent the workflow from completing. Add a build-only mode to the reusable workflow and pass it for these runs. Keep write permissions and registry secrets unavailable to untrusted pull requests.

GitHub Actions reusable workflows secrets inherit GITHUB_TOKEN automatically available called workflow official documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, secrets are not automatically available in reusable workflows [1][2][3]. To make secrets accessible to a called reusable workflow, you must explicitly pass them using the secrets keyword or use the secrets: inherit keyword [1][4][5]. The GITHUB_TOKEN is a notable exception to many secret handling rules, but it does not bypass the need for explicit secret management in reusable workflows if you are referring to the secrets context [4]. While the GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically generated and available for every workflow run, if you need to pass secrets (which could include tokens or other sensitive values) to a reusable workflow, they must be handled through one of the following methods [1][6][7]: 1. Explicit passing: You map specific secrets in the calling workflow job under the secrets key (e.g., secrets: { MY_SECRET: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET }} }) [1][7]. When using this method, the reusable workflow must define these secrets in its on.workflow_call block [5][7]. 2. secrets: inherit: This keyword allows the reusable workflow to access all secrets available to the calling workflow [8][9]. When this is used, the reusable workflow does not need to explicitly define the secrets in its on.workflow_call block to access them [1]. It is important to note that if you are using nested reusable workflows, inheritance is not transitive; each level of the workflow chain must explicitly forward secrets or use secrets: inherit to pass them down [9][7]. Furthermore, the GITHUB_TOKEN itself is scoped by the permissions defined in the workflow or job; if a reusable workflow requires GITHUB_TOKEN permissions to perform tasks (like pushing code), the calling workflow must grant those permissions at the job level [9].

site:docs.github.com/actions reusable workflow "GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically passed" called workflow secrets context
💡 Result:
Yes, the GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically available in reusable workflows [1][2]. Unlike other secrets, which must be explicitly passed to a reusable workflow using the secrets keyword, the GITHUB_TOKEN is implicitly available to the called workflow [1][3]. Key points regarding the GITHUB_TOKEN and reusable workflows: - Automatic Availability: You do not need to map or pass the GITHUB_TOKEN through the secrets context for it to be used in a called workflow [1]. It is accessible within the reusable workflow just as it is in a standard workflow [2]. - Permissions: The GITHUB_TOKEN's permissions within a reusable workflow are determined by the configuration in the calling workflow or the defaults defined in the reusable workflow itself [2][3]. You can use the permissions key to modify these access rights for security, ensuring the token only has the minimum necessary access [2][3]. - Contrast with Other Secrets: While the GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically passed, any other repository or environment secrets required by a reusable workflow must be explicitly defined and mapped in the calling workflow's job configuration [1][3]. If a reusable workflow calls another nested reusable workflow, you must explicitly pass those secrets again at each level [3].

Pass only the secrets required by the reusable workflow.
The workflow consumes only registry-user, registry-password, and docker-secrets; GITHUB_TOKEN remains automatically available. Replace secrets: inherit with explicit mappings to prevent unrelated secrets from crossing the workflow boundary.

Repoints the image build at the org-owned reusable workflow added in EduIDE/.github#1. Last of the six call sites.
Why
ls1intum/.github@feature/split-build-workflow-modes, an unmerged PR branch in another organisation.build-arm64was disabled for pull requests, so a PR image could not be scheduled onto an arm64 node.Two bugs fixed along the way
Missing
permissions:block. This was the only build workflow in the org without one — it relied on default token permissions to push to GHCR. Now explicit (contents: read,packages: write).image-tagexpression. It read:inputs.image_tagwas evaluated on every event, not justworkflow_dispatch. Harmless today because it is null elsewhere, but it differs from the other two repos and would misbehave if inputs were ever added to another trigger. Now guarded consistently.Dependabot
.github/dependabot.ymlhadpackage-ecosystem: ""— the untouched template placeholder — so dependabot has never actually run here despite the file existing. Now covers npm, github-actions and docker, with updates grouped so a weekly run produces a couple of PRs rather than a dozen.(
scorpiohas the identical inert file; worth fixing there too.)Note on
@v1v1currently points at the head of EduIDE/.github#1 so this can be validated before that merges. I will re-point it at the merge commit once that PR lands.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
