ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #64
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 is now a report-only compliance canary. It detects drift without changing repository files, writes findings to the job summary, and fails when actionable drift exists. Advisory verification-bypass findings do not increment the drift counter. ChangesCompliance Canary workflow

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the workflow change, security concerns, retained behaviour, and migration context. However, it omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections from the repository template. Resolution Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add the required headings, list the key changes, complete the RSR Quality Checklist, and document the tests performed. Add screenshots or terminal output, or state that they are not applicable.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Detect AGPL-3.0-or-later as licence drift.
The grep -v "AGPL-3.0-or-later" filter removes this non-MPL SPDX value from the result. A dotfile with SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later therefore leaves DRIFT unchanged and can report a clean canary, although Line 69 requires MPL-2.0. Remove the exclusion so all AGPL-3.0 variants trip the canary.
Proposed fix
- if [ -f "$dotfile" ] && grep "AGPL-3.0" "$dotfile" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "AGPL-3.0-or-later" | grep -q .; then

‼️ 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.

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.
