ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #80
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 now runs as a read-only RSR compliance canary. It reports potential mutations, records findings in the job summary, and fails when drift is detected. It no longer edits files or opens pull requests. ChangesRSR compliance canary

- Line 83: Update the grep invocation used to count advisory-pattern matches so
it uses fixed-string matching while preserving recursive search, file filters,

Write each would-mutate finding to the job summary.
warn() emits an annotation and increments DRIFT, but it does not write the finding to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY. The summary contains only the heading and the final count, so owners cannot identify the required correction from the job summary.
Proposed fix
- warn() { echo "::warning title=Rhodibot canary::$*"; DRIFT=$((DRIFT+1)); }
+ warn() {
+ echo "::warning title=Rhodibot canary::$*"
+ printf '%s\n' "- $*" >> "$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY"
+ DRIFT=$((DRIFT+1))
+ }📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Match advisory patterns literally.
grep interprets Obj.magic as a regular expression. A file containing ObjXmagic can therefore produce an advisory finding even though it does not contain the Obj.magic construct. Use fixed-string matching for these listed patterns.

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.
