ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #79
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
WalkthroughRhodibot now runs as a read-only compliance canary. It detects compliance drift, reports warnings, and fails when non-advisory drift exists. It no longer changes files, commits changes, or creates pull requests. ChangesCompliance canary
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The workflow should not merge until its checkout dependency is immutably pinned. Its SPDX warning should also be aligned with the condition it evaluates. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

In @.github/workflows/rhodibot.yml:
- Around line 68-69: The SPDX validation condition and warning in the dotfile
check must enforce the same policy. Update the check and its warn message so
AGPL-3.0-or-later is handled consistently with the stated MPL-2.0 estate policy,
while preserving the existing manual, owner-only remediation behavior.
- Line 37: Update the checkout action reference in the workflow to use the
established v7.0.1 commit SHA instead of the mutable v7.0.1 tag, retaining the
version annotation.

Pin actions/checkout to a commit SHA.
This workflow is marked as managed by gh actions-lock, and repository workflows use commit-SHA pins. The mutable v7.0.1 tag does not preserve that pinning posture. Use the established v7.0.1 commit:

The SPDX check and its message disagree.
Line 68 excludes every line that contains AGPL-3.0-or-later, so a dotfile with SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later reports no drift. Line 69 states that estate policy is MPL-2.0, which that identifier also violates. Either the message must describe the narrower rule (bare, deprecated AGPL-3.0), or the check must flag any non-MPL-2.0 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.
