ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #72
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 changed from an auto-fix job to a read-only compliance canary. It detects repository drift, reports findings, and fails when drift exists. It no longer modifies files or creates pull requests. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary

Regenerate the action lock and pin actions/checkout to a commit SHA.
The estate rule requires every workflow that uses an action to be listed in .github/workflows/actions.lock. The file is absent, so it records no checkout reference for this workflow. The mutable v7.0.1 tag also does not provide an immutable action reference. Generate the lock entry with the SHA resolved for v7.0.1, and retain the trailing version comment.

Do not exempt AGPL-3.0-or-later. The filter suppresses this identifier, so a matching header in any checked dotfile can pass without a warning. The previous workflow matched AGPL-3.0 and replaced both AGPL variants. Restore that match; an AGPL-only check matches the prior workflow and does not need to report every non-MPL identifier.

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.
