ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #107
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 is now a read-only Rhodibot compliance canary. It runs on schedule or manually, reports compliance findings, fails when drift is detected, and removes all file mutation and pull request actions. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The canary can miss some licence drift or fail repositories using accepted AsciiDoc community files. These localized checks should be corrected before broad propagation. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Align the AGPL detection with the MPL-2.0 policy. The condition excludes AGPL-3.0-or-later, so that identifier produces no warning. This conflicts with the warning text and the repository convention requiring MPL-2.0. Include AGPL-3.0-or-later in the detection, or change the warning to describe the narrower rule.

Accept root AsciiDoc community files in the required-file checks. If a repository contains only SECURITY.adoc or CONTRIBUTING.adoc at its root, the current checks warn, increment DRIFT, and fail the canary at line 91.

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.
