ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #68
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 Rhodibot workflow now runs as a report-only compliance canary. It detects repository drift, emits warnings, records a step summary, and fails when drift exists. It has read-only permissions and no longer edits files or creates pull requests. ChangesRhodibot compliance canary

Match an SPDX header, not arbitrary licence text.
This condition matches any non--or-later AGPL-3.0 text. If a dotfile contains an explanatory comment or a non-header reference to AGPL, it increments DRIFT and fails the canary. Match an anchored SPDX-License-Identifier header instead.

Check the required metadata at the required path.
The manifest defines SECURITY.md and CONTRIBUTING.md as .github/-only metadata. These checks accept root files. If .github/SECURITY.md or .github/CONTRIBUTING.md is absent but a root file exists, the canary reports clean and misses the location drift. Check the .github/ paths only, or report root files as a separate drift condition.
Proposed fix
- [ -f "SECURITY.md" ] || [ -f ".github/SECURITY.md" ] || warn "no SECURITY.md (would be created)"
- [ -f "CONTRIBUTING.md" ] || [ -f ".github/CONTRIBUTING.md" ] || warn "no CONTRIBUTING.md (would be created)"
+ [ -f ".github/SECURITY.md" ] || warn "no .github/SECURITY.md (would be created)"
+ [ -f ".github/CONTRIBUTING.md" ] || warn "no .github/CONTRIBUTING.md (would be created)"As per the repository manifest, community metadata is .github/ only.

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.
