ci: make CI standalone (drop estate reusable workflows + third-party setup action)#603
Merged
Conversation
…setup action) The PR-gating build/lint/test were blocked by startup_failure on workflows with external dependencies. Make the gating CI self-contained: - ci.yml: self-host the OCaml toolchain via apt + opam (replacing third-party ocaml/setup-ocaml); use only first-party actions/* at real upstream major tags. The previous SHA pins carried fictional version comments (checkout "v6.0.3", upload-artifact "v7.0.1" — nonexistent upstream). dune-project needs OCaml >= 4.14, satisfied by the runner's apt OCaml (ocaml-system) with a base-compiler fallback. - governance.yml: replace the hyperpolymath/standards governance-reusable with a conservative, delta-aware local gate (tools/ci/governance-standalone.sh): Jekyll-artifact ban, MPL-1.0 SPDX-header ban, PR-delta DOC-FORMAT check. Verified to pass clean on the current tree. - secret-scanner.yml: replace the hyperpolymath/standards secret-scanner-reusable (which needed inherited secrets) with a pure-shell high-confidence scan (tools/ci/secret-scan-standalone.sh). No secrets required. - scorecard.yml: call ossf/scorecard-action directly (mirroring the already- direct scorecard-enforcer.yml), dropping the estate reusable. Root cause of the governance/secret-scanner startup_failure: a concurrency block in a reusable-workflow caller stacks on the reusable's own concurrency declaration and is rejected at run-creation (the BP008 class documented in spark-theatre-gate.yml). The standalone replacements are normal workflows, so their concurrency blocks are safe. Left intentionally (see PR): hypatia-scan + spark-theatre-gate (estate- proprietary scanners, currently passing — reproducing locally would lose coverage), mirror (cross-forge by nature), and release.yml's ocaml/setup-ocaml (cross-platform macOS matrix; a Linux-only inline setup would break it).

…er (#604) Follow-up to #603 (merged). #603 went in via admin bypass with **red CI**, so `main` is currently not green — this PR fixes that and completes "ensure standalone CI makes it through CI/CD." ## What was still wrong after #603 1. **`startup_failure` persisted** on `CI` / `Governance` / `Secret Scanner` — even though Governance/Secret-Scanner became trivial (`checkout` + `run:`). Identical failure across totally different file content ⇒ not the content. The one structural difference vs the **passing** simple workflows (`stdlib-naming`, `workflow-linter`, `scorecard-enforcer`): they pin `actions/checkout@<SHA>`; #603 used `@v4` **tags**. The repo's "allowed actions" policy appears to **reject tag refs at run-creation**. 2. **Hypatia check FAILED** — "Private Key" detected in `tools/ci/secret-scan-standalone.sh`: the scanner's literal PEM markers tripped the code-scanner against itself. 3. **Hypatia `unpinned_action` findings** (+15) — the `@v4` tags violate the repo's SHA-pinning policy (`workflow_audit`). ## Fix - **Re-pin all first-party `actions/*` to SHAs** (revert `@v4` → the repo's existing SHAs; only the fictional version *comments* `v6.0.3`/`v7.0.1` were corrected to `v4`). This clears the `unpinned_action` findings **and** is the fix for the tag-ref `startup_failure` (SHA-only policy). - **De-trip the secret scanner**: the PEM marker is now assembled from fragments, so no full marker literal appears in the file (clears the failing Hypatia "Private Key" alert). - **Fix a latent scanner bug**: patterns starting with `-` need `grep -e`, else grep parsed them as options and silently matched nothing. Verified: planted PEM **and** AWS keys are now detected; the tree stays clean. ## Verified locally ``` tools/ci/secret-scan-standalone.sh → PASS (clean tree) planted -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- file → FAIL (detected) ✅ planted AKIA… file → FAIL (detected) ✅ no literal 'BEGIN' marker remains in the script all 4 workflows: valid YAML; zero `actions/*@vN` tag pins (all SHA) ``` ## Honest caveat The SHA-only-policy theory is evidence-based but I can't observe GitHub's run-creation from here. **This PR's own CI run is the test:** if `CI`/`Governance`/`Secret Scanner` now *start* (and `build`/`lint`/`test` run), the theory holds. If `startup_failure` persists despite SHA pins, the remaining cause is an owner-side **Settings → Actions → Allowed actions** policy I can't change — I'll report that. Unchanged from #603 and still intentional: `hypatia-scan` / `spark-theatre-gate` (estate-proprietary, passing), `mirror` (cross-forge), `release.yml` (cross-platform macOS matrix needs `ocaml/setup-ocaml`). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01Lz7pRcec2Z3tVtaAhvB3M8 --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01Lz7pRcec2Z3tVtaAhvB3M8)_ --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

## What Merges current `main` into `feat/solo-core-metatheory-proofs` and resolves all conflicts, so that **#614 stops being `mergeable_state: dirty`**. While #614 is dirty, GitHub cannot build the merge commit, so its entire CI suite is suppressed (only `lint-workflows` runs). Merging this PR into the feature branch un-blocks #614's CI. ## Why it was needed #614 branched off an old `main` (merge-base 61 commits back) and conflicts with the standalone-CI + codegen work that has since landed (#602, #603, #604, #606, #609, #610, #611, #612, #613). ## Conflict resolutions (5 files) | File(s) | Resolution | |---|---| | `governance.yml`, `scorecard.yml`, `scorecard-enforcer.yml`, `hypatia-scan.yml` | Take `main`'s **standalone** versions. The branch re-adopted the estate `standards` reusables that `main` deliberately dropped (#603/#604) to stop run-creation `startup_failure`s. `main`'s `hypatia-scan.yml` also restores the permissions Hypatia needs (`security-events: write`, `pull-requests: write`, `secrets: inherit`) and the `MPL-2.0` SPDX id the Palimpsest license doc mandates for tooling. | | `docs/PROOF-NEEDS.md` | Drop the branch's stale 103-line `.md`; keep `main`'s canonical 359-line `.adoc` (#609). Also satisfies DOC-FORMAT. | | `docs/history/MODULE-SYSTEM-PROGRESS` | Keep the branch's `.md`→`.adoc` migration; **port** `main`'s additive #138 codegen-follow-up note + status-table row into the `.adoc` so `main`'s work is preserved. | `spark-theatre-gate.yml` and `mirror.yml` were identical to `main`. ## Verification (merged tree) - `dune build` — clean - `dune test` — **534/534 pass** (incl. `cross-module constructor linking, Wasm (#138)`, `Wasm nested tuple patterns`, `Deno-ESM / JS no duplicate Option/Result constructor`) - wasm-runtime harness (`tools/run_codegen_wasm_tests.sh`) — all pass - workflow scan — no `startup_failure` risk introduced ## How to use Merge this into `feat/solo-core-metatheory-proofs`. #614 then becomes mergeable and its full CI runs. > Routed via this branch because the environment only permits pushes to `claude/inspiring-newton-dg5wov`, not directly to the feature branch.

## Problem The merge box shows four **required** checks stuck at *"Expected — Waiting for status to be reported"*. This push confirmed it server-side: ``` - 4 of 4 required status checks are expected. ``` "Expected" is **not** a failure — it means a required context name was *never reported on the head commit*. Each of the four is produced by a different mechanism, and each can independently fail to report (proven against live PRs: affinescript #626, hypatia #517, gitbot-fleet #307): | Required context | Producer | Why it can sit "Expected" | |---|---|---| | `analyze (actions, none)` | `codeql.yml` job `analyze` | `pull_request:` was gated to `branches:[main,master]` → no run on other bases → check never created | | `hypatia / Hypatia Neurosymbolic Analysis` | `hypatia-scan.yml` reusable caller `hypatia` | same branch gate | | `Hypatia` | Hypatia **GitHub App** check | external; rides on the scan — absent on PRs where the scan didn't run (e.g. gitbot-fleet #307) | | `governance / Validate Hypatia baseline` | the **`standards` governance reusable** (job `governance` / "Validate Hypatia baseline") | this repo migrated off that reusable to a standalone `governance` job (#603/#604), which emits the context **`governance`** instead — so the pinned name is **orphaned and can never report** | Root cause (one line): **branch protection pins context strings that this repo only *conditionally* emits** — a renamed job, branch-filtered workflows, and an external app — and GitHub renders any required-but-unproduced context as a permanent "Expected", indistinguishable from a hang. ## What this PR changes (repo-side fix) 1. **`codeql.yml`** — drop `pull_request: branches:[main,master]`. The required `analyze (actions, none)` job now runs on PRs against **every** base. (`push:` unchanged.) 2. **`hypatia-scan.yml`** — same de-gate, so `hypatia / Hypatia Neurosymbolic Analysis` runs on every PR base (and the `Hypatia` app check rides along). 3. **`governance-baseline.yml` + `governance-baseline-impl.yml`** (new) — a **local reusable** whose caller job id `governance` + reusable job `Validate Hypatia baseline` re-emit the exact pinned context `governance / Validate Hypatia baseline`, on every PR. It is: - **additive** — the standalone `governance.yml` gate is untouched; the repo now emits both `governance` and `governance / Validate Hypatia baseline`; - **safe vs. the reasons #603/#604 left the reusable** — it's *local* (no `@main` cross-repo coupling) and declares **no** `concurrency:` in the reusable (avoids the BP008 startup-failure class); - **a real gate** — validates `.hypatia-baseline.json` with `jq` (no npm) when present; passes with a notice when absent (this repo's current state). ## Residuals that need branch-protection admin (cannot be done from repo files) - **`Hypatia` app check**: de-gating the scan is the best repo-side lever, but the app posting is ultimately external. If it still shows "Expected" on some PRs, either make it post unconditionally or **de-require** it. - **Pin reconciliation (the cleaner fix)**: the truly correct change is to repoint the pins to the names this repo actually emits — `governance / Validate Hypatia baseline` → `governance`, and confirm no *other* `governance / *` sub-checks (the reusable emits 8) are still pinned from the pre-#603/#604 era. The local-reusable bridge here exists only so the box can go green **without** that admin access; if you'd rather repoint the pin, this bridge can be dropped. ## Verification This PR's own run should now report all four contexts instead of leaving them "Expected"; `governance / Validate Hypatia baseline` is self-demonstrating (the new workflow runs on this PR). I'll confirm from the check-runs once they land. ## Estate note `codeql.yml` / `hypatia-scan.yml` carry the identical `branches:[main,master]` PR gate in `hypatia`, `gitbot-fleet`, and `.git-private-farm`; the same de-gate applies there. The `governance` divergence is **affinescript-only** — the other three still call the reusable and emit `governance / Validate Hypatia baseline` natively. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01UXXpaoiATzxcn3kW3eTM26 --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01UXXpaoiATzxcn3kW3eTM26)_ Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Make CI standalone (no external-repo reusable workflows on the gating path)
Follow-up to the #602 investigation: the PR-gating
build/lint/testnever ran because several workflows were instartup_failure. This makes the gating CI self-contained — no dependency on the externalhyperpolymath/standardsreusable workflows and no third-party toolchain action — so it runs regardless of that repo's state or an org "allowed actions" policy.Root cause found
The estate
spark-theatre-gate.ymlcarries a documented note (BP008): aconcurrency:block in a reusable-workflow caller, when the reusable also declares concurrency on the same key, is rejected at run-creation →startup_failure(no check-run is ever emitted).governance.ymlandsecret-scanner.ymlboth still had caller-levelconcurrency:blocks calling estate reusables → that is why they startup-failed, whilehypatia/spark(no stacking) passed. The standalone replacements here are normal workflows, so their concurrency blocks are safe.Changes

The gates were calibrated against the tree first: a naïve gate would false-fail (59 pre-existing
docs/*.md, 14MPL-1.0mentions in policy/docs), so the checks are header-aware (0 actualSPDX: MPL-1.0headers) and DOC-FORMAT is delta-only (matches the canonical "PR that adds a docs/ .md" semantics; pre-existing files are never retro-flagged).Left intentionally (not "fully" standalone — by design)
