ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #85
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 workflow now runs a read-only RSR compliance canary. It detects repository drift, reports findings in GitHub Actions, and fails when non-advisory drift exists. It no longer edits files, creates branches, or opens pull requests. ChangesRSR compliance canary

Pin actions/checkout to an immutable commit and regenerate the lock file.
actions/checkout@v7.0.1 is a mutable tag. A retargeted or compromised tag can execute code with this job’s repository read token. Replace it with the verified commit SHA for v7.0.1, then run gh actions-lock and commit the resulting .github/workflows/actions.lock update. The lock file is generated; do not edit it by hand.

Count the final unterminated line.
wc -l counts newline characters, not logical lines. A valid five-line README.md without a final newline produces 4. The canary then reports false drift and fails.
Proposed fix

+ if [ -f "README.md" ] && [ -f "README.adoc" ] && [ "$(awk 'END { print NR }' README.md)" -lt 5 ]; then📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Include postulate and .agda files in the advisory scan. The proof policy bans postulate in Idris2 and Agda files. This canary omits both the pattern and the .agda extension, so its advisory report does not cover the complete policy.

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.
