ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #15
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 scheduled or manual, read-only compliance canary. It reports drift, fails for counted findings, and no longer edits files, creates pull requests, or pushes commits. ChangesRhodibot canary workflow

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not exempt AGPL-3.0-or-later from licence drift.
Line 68 excludes AGPL-3.0-or-later. Line 69 states that the required licence is MPL-2.0. A dotfile with an AGPL-3.0-or-later SPDX header therefore lets the canary report a clean result despite licence drift.
Match the SPDX header directly and warn for every AGPL-3.0 variant.
Proposed fix

‼️ 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.
