The current shared test workflow fails during Composer Audit because phpro/grumphp-shim is blocked by the repository's allow-plugins policy. The failure happens before PHPUnit runs: https://github.com/php-fast-forward/http-factory/actions/runs/37701382257/job/113065629366.

This caller change enables the required per-version commit statuses and supplies contents: read, actions: read, and statuses: write for the isolated publisher introduced by php-fast-forward/dev-tools#362. Dependabot runs do not request status publication. Unneeded contents/pages/id-token write permissions are removed.

The plugin-free Composer Audit and dependency-health corrections live in php-fast-forward/dev-tools#362. This PR is the repository-specific companion, separate from the Dash artwork PR #1. Merge the actions-read-only compatibility PRs config#5, enum#6 and framework#10 first, then dev-tools#362, and only then this caller. This prevents granting a status-write token to the old test implementation. Until the shared correction reaches main, this PR's checks still reproduce the Composer failure.

The standalone test-statuses.yml lifecycle workflow supplies Dependabot statuses from the default branch. It accepts same-repository Dependabot push requests, starts and completions; revalidates repository, source SHA, workflow path/name/ID and attempt through the GitHub API; and rejects stale runs and attempts. Current active attempts receive pending statuses, including reruns. Completed attempts publish actual conclusions only after all three jobs validate. Delayed start events read fresh API state and cannot overwrite a completed result with pending. It has no checkout, artifact/cache download, dependency installation or caller-code execution. This repository requires the bare PHP 8.3/8.4/8.5 statuses; pull-request merge runs and fork PRs are excluded. The copy matches the central resource in dev-tools#362 and becomes active only on the default branch.

The final lifecycle publisher passed 130 scenarios / 1,130 assertions on each of PHP 8.4 and 8.5 (260 executions / 2,260 assertions total). Verified failed/canceled runs with no matrix receive terminal failures; full reruns cannot reuse old successes after a failed resolver; legitimate partial/dependency-only retries retain prior tests. Extra observed PHP versions are rejected and Run metadata is rechecked before each POST. The canonical template is now optional under resources/github-actions-optional, so dev-tools:sync does not install it in incompatible customized consumers. The configured complete version list is explicit for these twelve audited repositories. Actual API contracts were confirmed. Real lifecycle publication remains pending default-branch installation.

Validation: actionlint and git diff --check pass. The publisher permission contract was also tested in real GitHub Actions: the same pinned reusable workflow with actions: none fails at startup (https://github.com/php-fast-forward/dev-tools/actions/runs/37701792651), while actions: read succeeds (https://github.com/php-fast-forward/dev-tools/actions/runs/37702214640). No package code, dependency allowlist, or branch protection is changed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Automated test runs now use more limited permissions. Dependency update runs report test statuses differently from other runs, with results tracked across supported PHP versions. Stale or superseded runs no longer publish outdated statuses, and completed runs report success only when the corresponding tests pass. These changes affect the project’s behind-the-scenes validation process; there are no changes to app features.

Walkthrough

The test workflow now uses read access for contents and actions and write access for statuses. A new workflow validates Dependabot push runs from the same repository and publishes pending or completed statuses for configured PHP versions.

Changes

Dependabot test status publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow permissions and required statuses
.github/workflows/tests.yml, .github/workflows/test-statuses.yml
The test workflow permissions and actor-based publish-required-statuses input are updated. The new publisher workflow is restricted to qualifying Dependabot push runs and uses limited Actions and commit-status permissions.
Source run validation
.github/workflows/test-statuses.yml
The publisher validates run identity, attempt, event, PHP-version configuration, and current run state. It selects the latest matching run and exits without publishing for stale or superseded runs.
PHP-version status results
.github/workflows/test-statuses.yml
For active runs, the publisher writes pending statuses after checking that the source run remains unchanged. For completed runs, it validates job results and control jobs, derives a result for each configured PHP version, then publishes success only for successful conclusions and failure otherwise.

The new status publisher is narrowly scoped to Dependabot push runs. A single transient GitHub API error during completion can leave required statuses pending until the workflow is re-run. This is a bounded inconvenience that a manual re-run resolves.

Then sends a status through the air.
PHP versions line up in rows,
Each gets the result the workflow knows.
Success shines green; failures show,
Then off through clover fields I go.

Closing as superseded by #3 and php-fast-forward/dev-tools#362. The caller permissions, plugin-free dependency checks and isolated status publishers that motivated this PR are already on main.

The only remaining addition is the same 288-line Dependabot workflow_run status bridge copied into six repositories. It introduces its own rerun, concurrency and API failure handling, including unresolved review findings, beyond the original CI/artwork rollout. We are withdrawing that extension instead of shipping duplicated lifecycle logic. Existing branch protection is unchanged; this does not claim the optional Dependabot bridge is implemented. Branch history is retained.
