ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #253
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 was rewritten as a report-only RSR compliance canary. It no longer mutates files or opens pull requests. It reports detected drift and fails when drift is present. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary

Restore the immutable checkout pin.
v7.0.1 is a mutable tag. If an attacker retargets this tag, altered action code can run on the scheduled runner and read the checked-out repository. contents: read prevents repository writes, but it does not prevent source disclosure. Restore 3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1, which is the repository-local pin for v7.0.1. GitHub documents a full commit SHA as the only immutable action reference. (docs.github.com)

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.
