Same script as pcsx-redux/nugget: a head commit shared by two pull requests gets the failing verdict, labeled runs get their own concurrency group so the announcement cannot be dropped, and titles written to an index issue have @ escaped.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • RFC titles containing @ or | now display correctly in the index.
    • When multiple pull requests share a commit, only one status is published for that commit; a failing verdict takes precedence.
    • RFC-label announcements are less likely to be interrupted by concurrent workflow runs.

Walkthrough

The RFC script now aggregates verdicts and status publication by head SHA, escapes at-signs in index titles, and separates announcement and index work into helpers. Labeled workflow runs use unique concurrency groups.

Changes

RFC processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verdict aggregation and status publication
.github/scripts/rfc.cjs, .github/scripts/rfc.test.cjs
The script combines verdicts for pull requests with the same head SHA, with failure taking precedence, and publishes at most one status per SHA. Index titles escape @ as @. Tests cover escaping and shared-SHA status publication.
Announcement and index orchestration
.github/scripts/rfc.cjs, .github/workflows/rfc.yml
The script delegates announcement and index work to helpers while retaining the labeled-event condition for announcements. Labeled workflow runs use unique concurrency groups; other runs continue to use the shared rfc group.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8360d

Labeling an RFC while another RFC workflow run is in progress can briefly leave the pull request marked as passing, or roll the RFC index back to an older version, until the next hourly run corrects it. When RFCs share a commit, the status may also show an earlier merge date than the one that actually applies. Serialize the status and index updates before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8360d

The change fixes conflicting results for pull requests sharing a commit, but overlapping runs could temporarily turn the required RFC check green while its waiting period is still open.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Independent labeled runs can race with other RFC runs, allowing an older success verdict to overwrite a newer failure for the same commit and required status context.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified race affects the rfc-moratorium status of a commit, potentially including multiple pull requests sharing that SHA. Its demonstrated scope is this repository’s merge-window check, not another service or tenant.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If a run reads an unlabeled pull request before an RFC label is applied, it can retain a success verdict. A separate labeled run can publish failure first, after which the older run can publish success without rechecking the label. The brief reports no verified security finding or observed occurrence of this race.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Pull-request labels, event history, titles, and head SHAs feed a write-capable base-branch workflow. The PR does not change the token permissions or checkout boundary; the new risk comes from scheduling status writers independently.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Failure-first aggregation and exact-status retry skipping improve single-run behavior, but neither prevents a stale concurrent writer from replacing a newer failure. The previous shared concurrency group prevented that particular overlap.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep announcements independently deliverable while serializing status publication across event types, or provide an equivalent freshness guarantee before an older run can replace a newer verdict.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report the later RFC deadline when both verdicts fail.

If two open RFCs share a SHA and have different merge windows, worst keeps the first failure. The published status can then say “merge not before” the earlier date, although the other RFC keeps the status failing until a later date. Select the later notBefore when comparing window-open failures.

Serialize shared writes while preserving each labeled announcement.

If a scheduled run evaluates a PR before it receives rfc, the run can overlap a labeled run in a different concurrency group. If the labeled run publishes failure first, the older run can subsequently publish success from its stale snapshot. The same ordering can restore an older index body. Keep announcements independently runnable, but serialize or re-evaluate the status and index writes. Different concurrency groups do not serialize runs. (docs.github.com)
