Reviewer's GuideThe release workflow now refuses to downgrade a provenance-enabled publish to an unattested artifact: it retries and reconciles registry propagation before failing, while CI and release checks statically audit every tracked publish path for effective --provenance usage with comprehensive fixture tests.

Greptile SummaryThe PR removes the unattested npm fallback and adds a repository-wide gate requiring provenance on detected publish paths.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge. No blocking failure remains from the previous Greptile findings; the current scanner joins evaluator arguments, recognizes combined shell-option clusters and package runners, and independently audits commands separated by shell operators.
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| scripts/shell-command-scan.ts | Adds shared shell tokenization and command-resolution logic covering the previously reported separator, evaluator, option-cluster, and package-runner forms. |
| scripts/verify-release-publish-attestation.ts | Adds the provenance audit over tracked executable sources and correctly checks each recognized publish invocation independently. |
| test/verify-release-publish-attestation.test.ts | Provides focused regression coverage for the previously reported publish-detection bypasses and disabled provenance spellings. |
| .github/workflows/release.yml | Removes unattested fallback publication, retries attestation visibility, and fails closed when provenance cannot be confirmed. |
| package.json | Integrates the attestation verifier into release checks and updates the changelog dependency requirement. |

…m scripts
Carries the two review findings that landed on the reference implementation in
pm-ops after this branch was written.
CodeRabbit, Major: every reconcile read tested
`npm view "${pkg}@${ver}" version`, which proves only that the coordinate is
occupied -- not that the artifact is attested, nor that it came from this
commit. The recovery path could therefore tag and cut a GitHub release around
an artifact nobody verified, which is exactly the substitution the publish path
refuses to make. Every publish this workflow performs carries `--provenance`,
so a version of ours that landed necessarily has attestations, and their
presence is the discriminator. All three reconcile points now require
`dist.attestations` and refuse an unattested coordinate with an explicit error.
CodeRabbit, Trivial but real: the gate erased the manifest it was auditing.
Quoted spans are blanked before a command is judged, which is what stops the
workflow's advisory `echo` reading as an invocation -- and a manifest is JSON,
so its script bodies are quoted values and were blanked too. A publish moved
into an npm script would have been invisible to the gate while being entirely
real. Manifests are now expanded to their script command lines first.
Also corrects the reconcile-window comment, which cited a bun step documenting
"~60s" that exists only in pm-ops. Reworded to state what is true here.
…e artifact
Two corrections in one commit, because the first has to be stated plainly.
**This package's release.yml had been overwritten with pm-slack's.** The
propagation that introduced the attested-publish contract copied the reference
file wholesale into eleven packages instead of editing each one in place, so
this workflow carried pm-slack's `--item-url-base`, and in the packages that
already had it, lost its own `--date-from-version` invocations. The workflow is
rebuilt here from this package's own `origin/main`, with the publish contract
applied as an edit rather than a replacement. Verified afterwards: no URL in
this file names another package, and every `--date-from-version` this package
had on main is still here.
**Reconciliation checked the coordinate, not the artifact.**
`npm view "${pkg}@${ver}" version` proves only that something is published
under that version -- not that it is attested, nor that it came from this
commit -- so the recovery path could tag and cut a GitHub release around an
artifact nobody verified. Every publish this workflow performs carries
`--provenance`, so a version of ours that landed necessarily has attestations,
and their presence is the discriminator. All three reconcile points now require
`dist.attestations` and refuse an unattested coordinate with an explicit error.
The gate also no longer erases the manifest it audits: quoted spans are blanked
before a command is judged, and a manifest is JSON, so its script bodies were
blanked too. A publish moved into an npm script would have been invisible.

Force-pushed a correction. Please re-review from scratch — the earlier head of this branch was wrong in a way worth stating plainly. What was wrongThe propagation that introduced this contract copied the reference Caught by running each package's own gates rather than trusting the propagation: What this branch now containsEvery workflow was rebuilt from its own
The contract itself1 — No unattested publish path. After three failed attested attempts the step used to publish without 2 — Reconcile on the artifact, not the coordinate. 3 — A gate, so this cannot regress. Reviewed on the reference implementation in @greptileai |

Greptile, on the reference implementation: the scan required `publish` to follow `npm` immediately, so `npm --access public publish --ignore-scripts` -- a valid, unattested publish -- was discarded before its flags were read. Worse than a miss: with a conventional attested invocation elsewhere in the file, the repository-wide audit still passed. `isPublishCommand` now tokenises the command and accepts `publish` anywhere after `npm`. `npm run publish` and `npm run-script publish` are excluded, because those run a package script whose body the manifest scan already covers, and requiring the flag on the runner would report a defect that is not there. Fixing it exposed a second instance of the same mistake: the line-level prefilter carried the identical adjacency requirement, so widening only the judgement changed nothing. A prefilter must be at least as permissive as the judgement it feeds.

Fixing it exposed a second instance of the same mistake, which is the part worth keeping: the line-level prefilter carried the identical adjacency requirement, so widening only the judgement changed nothing and the new test still failed. A prefilter must be at least as permissive as the judgement it feeds. Non-vacuity: restoring the adjacency requirement fails the new test and nothing else. @greptileai |

…led by Greptile, on the reference implementation: `reconcile_or_refuse` called `exit 1` from inside a helper the five-attempt loop uses. Attestation metadata can become visible a moment after the version does, and that read can fail transiently -- so a lag terminated the whole step instead of being retried, skipping the tag and the GitHub release while npm already held the attested package. That is the "npm ahead of git" split the release ordering exists to prevent, reintroduced by putting a decision inside a probe. `reconciled_attested` now answers one question and nothing else, and never terminates the step; the loop decides when to stop asking. `refuse_unattested_or_fail` is reached only once it has, and distinguishes an occupied coordinate with no visible attestation -- which needs a human, because npm forbids overwriting a published version -- from a publish that never landed.
|
One more fix pushed, from Greptile on the reference implementation and propagated here. A probe called inside a retry loop must return a status, never exit. Now split: Known and deliberately deferred: attestation presence is not artifact identity. @greptileai |

… it does not how it is spelled Two defects in the same release path, one of which was hiding the other. The daily release failed at 'Generate changelog and release notes' with 'answer was incomplete and was refused: count=5 of total=86'. The lockfile resolved pm-changelog 2026.8.17, which reads the whole tracker without the unbounded output controls 2026.8.22 added, and npx prefers that locked copy over the registry. At 89 items this tracker crosses the default output budget, so the read truncated and pm-changelog refused to build a changelog from a partial workspace. The refusal is correct; the stale pin is the bug. Raising the pin and refreshing the lockfile makes both of the workflow's own invocations exit zero against the full tracker. The attestation verifier resolved the executable of a segment by skipping a fixed list of runner words, and package runners were not in it. In 'npx npm publish' the executable resolved to 'npx', so the segment was never recognised as a publish and never checked for --provenance. That is worse than a missed flag: the workflow's ordinary attested publish still satisfied the non-vacuity guard, so the gate reported clean over an unattested publish in the same file. npx, bunx, pnpx and the two-word pnpm dlx, yarn dlx, npm exec and bun x now resolve to the command they run, with the two-word forms consumed only when the second word matches so a plain 'npm publish' is untouched. Reverting the skip-list change fails two of the new cases. Tracked as pm-github-ypi5 and pm-github-5igz.
…, correct a false non-vacuity record
Review of PR 57 surfaced three data defects in this repository's own
tracker, all of which are real.
The files rows declared {path,scope} while carrying three comma-separated
values, so path held the literal string
'.github/workflows/release.yml,project,publish step refuses to downgrade
attestation and reconciles a late-landing version'; the tests rows did the
same to command with the scope and a timeout appended. Any consumer
resolving those as a path, or replaying them as a command, gets a value
that cannot exist. All three affected items now declare and populate
files{path,scope,note} and tests{command,scope,timeout_seconds}. Removal
had to go through the markdown-line stdin form: 'pm files --remove
path=<value>' parses its argument as comma-separated key=value pairs, so a
path containing commas cannot be expressed, and pm files has no
--remove-index the way pm test does.
pm-github-nwaz, pm-github-1rik and pm-github-i5b8 are three duplicates of
one another, created 16 minutes apart, scoring 1.0 on exact_title in
pm duplicates. They now carry duplicate_of pointing at pm-github-i5b8.
pm-github-1rik recorded its non-vacuity proof as exit 0 for both the
restore-the-fallback and the --provenance=false cases - a proof asserting
its own vacuity - while the canonical record reports exit 1 for both.
Re-measured here: a clean tree exits 0, restoring the fallback exits 1
naming the unattested invocation, restoring the file exits 0 again. The
gate is non-vacuous; the exit 0 row was a recording error, and a
correction is appended to that item saying so.
…t-option cluster POSIX shells accept 'bash -ec "..."' and 'bash -euc "..."', which run the string exactly as 'bash -c "..."' does. The executor resolver matched -c as a whole token only, so those spellings handed a string to an interpreter that the scan then declined to look inside. The unattested publish in the string was never examined, while the workflow's ordinary attested publish still satisfied the non-vacuity guard, so the gate reported clean over an unattested publish - the same failure shape as the package-runner hole fixed in the previous commit, reached by a different spelling. Measured before the change: 'bash -c' is caught; 'bash -ec', 'bash -euc' and 'sh -ec' all read as clean. All are caught now, and an attested publish handed over the same way still passes. Long options are excluded deliberately. '--command' contains a c but is not -c, and reading a --prefixed token as a cluster of short flags would hand every long option's quoted arguments to the scan as if they were commands. Reverting the change fails two of the thirty-two cases. Tracked as pm-github-5igz.

…normalise item provenance The rebase onto the released main carried this branch's changelog entry past the 2026.08.28 release heading, so the replace-mode check gate no longer agreed with the file. changelog:full regenerates it from the tracker and every release tag. pm history-repair --normalize-provenance clears events an older CLI stamped with a single-digit role captured from a child-session environment variable.
…backed implementation The fleet carried four independently evolved copies of this gate, and review found the same class of bypass in each: quoted spans were blanked before matching, so a quoted flag read as absent and an interpreter body vanished entirely; only an adjacent `npm publish` counted, so global options before the subcommand hid one; the separator set missed a lone `&`, an unspaced pipe and command substitution; and package runners were not resolved to the program they run. All packages now share scripts/shell-command-scan.ts, which tokenises shell text the way a shell reads it -- quotes resolved rather than erased, the full operator set honoured regardless of whitespace, `eval`/`sh -c`/`bash -ec` payloads re-scanned as commands, and wrappers stepped over to the program behind them, including the two-word runners. Command position is resolved apart from the words, so a prose mention is still not an invocation. Measured, not argued: fourteen bypass shapes taken from the review threads were run against the tokeniser, and the two rules added to close the last two are revert-checked -- removing either turns the suite red. The gate is also self-contained now. It previously imported six shared symbols from the changelog-date gate, a file most packages do not carry; those live in the shared scanner, and isMainInvocation in scripts/main-invocation.ts. The scanner carries its own suite so its coverage travels with it rather than depending on a gate the receiving package may not have.

Each repository carried two or three items with byte-identical titles and descriptions for the same defect, created minutes apart. The attestation wave created a fresh record on every round instead of continuing the existing one, so the tracker read as though the same fallback had been found and fixed repeatedly, and a reader could not tell which record carried the real evidence. The earliest record in each repository is kept and the later copies are removed. They exist only on this branch and were never on main, so this reverts an accidental double-create rather than rewriting history that shipped. Nothing referenced them except regenerable runtime caches and the changelog, both regenerated here; pm validate and pm health agree afterwards. Raised by CodeRabbit across the wave.

The scalar expansion in the previous commit broke this gate against its own workflow. Inlining any quoted assignment put values such as `pkg_name="$(node -p …)"` into unrelated commands, injecting an unbalanced parenthesis: the scan then reported a publish that does not exist while losing the attested one that does. Only a plain literal is inlined now -- a value carrying a substitution, a backtick, a parenthesis or a quote of its own is left alone -- and the variable-held-command bypass the expansion exists for is still caught. A regression test pins the exact shape that broke. Four more findings closed. A YAML key carries the command as its value, so `run: npm publish` is a publish rather than a command named `run:`. A quoted parenthesis inside a substitution is a literal, not its delimiter, so `$(echo ")" && npm publish)` no longer truncates before the publish; that quote state is bounded to one line, because workflow prose carries apostrophes inside double-quoted messages and an unbalanced one would otherwise make every later parenthesis look quoted. One package script cannot continue into the next through a trailing backslash, which had let a script beginning `--provenance` lend its flag to the unattested publish that ended the script before it. And `workspace` is not an npm subcommand -- npm selects a workspace with a flag -- so listing it as a runner only meant a publish written after it was never audited. One claim refused with evidence: a split eval payload is not a bypass, because the shell joins an evaluator words with a space, so `eval "npm pub" "lish"` runs `npm pub lish`.

A transient registry failure therefore downgrades the package's supply-chain attestation permanently for that version, and consumers cannot tell an unattested publish caused by a 404 storm apart from one that never had provenance at all.The fallback was added while the registry was returning 404s, to get a release out. That trade is wrong for a supply-chain artifact: an unattested publish is not a degraded success, it is a different artifact. Failing the job leaves main holding the prepared version so the next run resumes the same release rather than inventing another one, which is exactly what the surrounding transaction was designed to do.
Non-vacuity proof
Test A (restore fallback): exit 1
Test B (--provenance=false): exit 1
Test C (clean tree): exit 0

Summary by cubic
Refuses to publish without provenance so a transient registry failure can no longer permanently downgrade a release to an unattested artifact, and gates every publish path against regression. Closes

Added 2026-08-28 — release unblock, two gate bypasses, and tracker repairs
The release was failing before it could publish
Generate changelog and release notesexited non-zero withpm list-all --json answer was incomplete and was refused: truncated=true; has_more=true; count=5 of total=86. The lockfile resolvedpm-changelog2026.8.17, which reads the whole tracker without the unbounded output controls 2026.8.22 added, andnpxprefers that locked copy over the registry. At 89 items this tracker crosses the default output budget, the read truncated, andpm-changelogcorrectly refused to build a changelog from a partial workspace. The refusal is right; the stale pin is the defect. Both of the workflow's own invocations now exit 0 against the full tracker.Two bypasses of one class in the attestation gate
Both let an unrecognised publish through, which is worse than an unflagged one: nothing in the output says anything went unexamined, and the non-vacuity guard is satisfied by the workflow's ordinary attested publish, so the gate reports clean.
npx npm publish(andbunx,pnpx,pnpm dlx,yarn dlx,npm exec,bun x)bash -ec "npm publish …"(andbash -euc,sh -ec)Both fixes are proven non-vacuous by reverting them and watching the new cases fail (2 of 32 each time).
Tracker repairs

All three affected items now declarefiles{path,scope,note}andtests{command,scope,timeout_seconds}.pm-github-nwaz,pm-github-1rikandpm-github-i5b8are duplicates of one another (exact_title, score 1.0), now linked withduplicate_of: pm-github-i5b8.pm-github-1rikrecorded its non-vacuity proof asexit 0for the two cases that must fail — a proof asserting its own vacuity. Re-measured here: clean tree exits 0, restoring the fallback exits 1 naming the unattested invocation, restoring the file exits 0. A correction is appended to that item.PM items
