Adds two composite actions that replace third-party actions mise uses in its workflows, so they can be shared across jdx repos without pulling in Node-based dependencies.

retry

Re-runs a command when it fails or times out; replaces nick-fields/retry (six call sites in mise).

- uses: jdx/workflows/retry@<sha> # vX.Y.Z
  with:
    command: cargo test
    max_attempts: 2
    timeout_minutes: 30
    retry_wait_seconds: 30
  • Supports the nick-fields/retry inputs mise uses (command, max_attempts, timeout_minutes, retry_wait_seconds); retry_on and timeout_seconds are not supported.
  • shell: pwsh runs each attempt as PowerShell, for the Windows pwsh e2e-win\run.ps1 call site.
  • Each attempt is killed after timeout_minutes (0 disables the limit) via timeout/gtimeout; without either it warns and runs unlimited.

gpg-import

Imports an armored GPG private key and optionally configures git signing; replaces crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg (five call sites in mise).

- uses: jdx/workflows/gpg-import@<sha> # vX.Y.Z
  with:
    gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_KEY }}
    git_user_signingkey: true
    git_commit_gpgsign: true
  • Supports the inputs mise uses: gpg_private_key, trust_level, git_user_signingkey, git_commit_gpgsign, git_tag_gpgsign. Outputs fingerprint and keyid.
  • Git settings go in the global git config. Passphrase-protected keys are not supported.

Both pass inputs through environment variables, never interpolated into the script.

Tested locally: retry succeeds on a later attempt and exits with the command's status after exhausting attempts; gpg-import with a throwaway key sets the git config, assigns ultimate trust, and produces a good signature on a commit.

A follow-up in jdx/mise will switch its call sites once these are released.

Note

Medium Risk
gpg-import handles private signing keys and mutates global git/GPG state on runners; retry executes caller-supplied commands with process kill on timeout—both are CI-critical but intentionally narrow replacements for existing third-party usage.

Overview
Adds two bash-only composite actions to this repo so jdx workflows can drop third-party Node actions: retry (replacement for nick-fields/retry) and gpg-import (replacement for crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg).

retry loops on failure with configurable attempts, wait, and per-attempt timeouts (timeout/gtimeout, with a warning when neither exists). It mirrors the inputs mise already uses and adds optional shell: pwsh for Windows. Inputs are passed via env vars, not shell interpolation.

gpg-import imports a passphrase-free armored secret key, optionally sets owner trust, exposes fingerprint/keyid, and can enable global git signing settings. Fingerprint is derived from the supplied key material before import to avoid ambiguity on reused runners.

The README is updated to list both actions, document usage and limitations, and describe tagging/releases for actions alongside existing workflows.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a reusable retry action for Bash and PowerShell commands, with configurable attempts, wait intervals, and timeouts.
    • Added a GPG-import action for importing private keys, configuring trust, and enabling Git commit or tag signing.
    • The GPG-import action provides the imported key’s fingerprint and key ID as outputs.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded documentation with supported inputs, outputs, usage examples, limits, and versioned release guidance for workflows and actions.

📝 Walkthrough

The PR adds two composite GitHub Actions. One retries shell commands with optional per-attempt timeouts. The other imports an unencrypted ASCII-armored GPG private key and can configure Git signing. The README documents both actions and versioned tags.

Changes: Reusable Composite Actions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry command execution
retry/action.yml, README.md
The retry action validates shell and numeric inputs, runs commands through Bash or PowerShell, applies optional timeouts, and retries failures until the attempt limit.
GPG key import and signing configuration
gpg-import/action.yml, README.md
The GPG-import action validates and imports a private key, exposes its fingerprint and key ID, and can configure owner trust and Git signing.
Action documentation
README.md
The README lists both actions, documents versioned tags, and adds inputs, outputs, limits, and examples.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b5232

PowerShell retries can incorrectly report success on older runners. Enforce or support the required version before merging unless that compatibility risk is explicitly accepted.

Review comments at @gpg-import/action.yml:
- Around line 71-72: Update the key-identification flow around the fingerprint
variable to derive the fingerprint from the key material or import status for
the key supplied to the action, rather than selecting the first record from the
unfiltered keyring. Ensure subsequent outputs, ownertrust updates, and Git
signing configuration use that imported key identity.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 44: Update the README description near the `nick-fields/retry` comparison
to accurately state that this action supports the retry inputs used by mise,
rather than claiming full input compatibility; do not imply support for
undeclared or unimplemented options such as `retry_on` and `timeout_seconds`.

Review comments at @retry/action.yml:
- Line 54: Update the PowerShell command construction in the pwsh branch so
native-command failures terminate the attempt and are detected through explicit
$LASTEXITCODE checks, rather than relying only on $ErrorActionPreference.
Preserve the existing RETRY_COMMAND execution while ensuring a nonzero native
exit code causes the retry loop to treat the attempt as failed.
