ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #54
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 workflow changed from an auto-fixing enforcement job to a read-only canary. It now checks repository drift, reports findings in the step summary and annotations, and fails when would-mutate drift is detected. ChangesRhodibot canary workflow

Accept the root .adoc alternatives used by repository compliance checks.
build/just/assess.just accepts SECURITY.adoc and CONTRIBUTING.adoc, but Rhodibot does not. A repository using either file can pass the repository’s OpenSSF assessment while Rhodibot increments DRIFT and fails the canary. Add these two root alternatives.
Do not add README.rst, README.txt, or README: the RSR guidance requires README.adoc, and the repository assessment accepts only README.adoc or README.md.

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.
