Reference the release checks by the repository's own syntax - #320
Merged
Conversation
`uses: ./.github/workflows/ci.yml` and `uses: $/.github/workflows/ci.yml` both call the reusable CI workflow from the caller's own commit, but only the second says so. The relative form is the same spelling a path on disk would take, and GitHub resolves it against the repository rather than the checkout, which is a difference nothing in the file makes visible. zizmor 0.6.3 added the audit that flags this (`self-repository`, low, with an auto-fix), so the dependency bump in #300 fails on it until this lands.

What this changes
One line in
publish-release.yml. The release gate calls CI as a reusable workflow, and it named it./.github/workflows/ci.yml. GitHub resolves both that and$/.github/workflows/ci.ymlthe sameway, from the caller's own commit, but the relative form is the same spelling a path on disk takes
and hides the fact that it is resolved against the repository rather than the checkout.
Why now
zizmor 0.6.3 added the
self-repositoryaudit, which flags exactly this. It is low severity and hasan auto-fix, but the security workflow exits non-zero on any finding, so #300 (the bump to 0.6.3)
cannot go green until this lands.
Verified against GitHub's own reusable-workflow documentation:
$/is the supported syntax for aworkflow in the same repository. The one caveat is that it is not available on GitHub Enterprise
Server, which does not apply here.
