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 pull requests that share a commit now receive a single status, with a failing verdict taking precedence.
    • RFC index titles now display @ safely while preserving pipe characters.
    • Repeated RFC status updates are skipped when the latest status already matches.

Walkthrough

RFC processing now groups verdicts by head SHA, publishes at most one matching status per SHA, and escapes @ in index titles. Labeled events use run-specific workflow concurrency groups. Announcements retain the existing event and label condition.

Changes

RFC processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verdict aggregation and status publication
.github/scripts/rfc.js, .github/scripts/rfc.test.js
Verdicts for pull requests with the same head SHA are combined, with failure taking precedence. The script publishes one status per SHA and skips creation when the latest RFC-context status matches. Index titles escape @; tests cover title escaping and shared-SHA status behavior.
Announcement and run coordination
.github/scripts/rfc.js, .github/workflows/rfc.yml
run delegates evaluation, status publication, announcement, and index updates to helpers. Announcements remain limited to pull_request_target events with the labeled action and rfc label. Labeled workflow runs use run-specific concurrency groups.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 64b4f

RFC commit statuses and the index can briefly show stale results when a label is applied while another run is in progress. When several RFCs share a commit, the status can also show the wrong merge deadline. Both problems affect merge gating, so they should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 64b4f

The shared-commit verdict is made more conservative, but labeled runs can now overlap with other runs that update the same required status. A run using older pull-request information could publish a passing verdict after a newer run publishes a failure.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: Independent labeled runs can race with other RFC runs and publish a stale passing commit status after a failing verdict, temporarily defeating the documented merge-window check.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The race affects statuses and index content within this repository. The consequential sink is the documented required commit-status check for main; no broader tenant or service exposure is established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If an older run reads a pull request before its RFC label applies, it can calculate success. A concurrent labeled run can publish failure for the new window, after which the older run can publish success because status creation has no freshness check. This is a possible race, not an observed bypass.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Write authority remains in the base-branch workflow. Announcements still require a labeled pull_request_target event with the rfc label; failure-first SHA aggregation counters the earlier shared-commit status overwrite.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The hourly run can eventually recompute a stale status, but the source establishes no bound that prevents a passing status from being visible before that recovery run completes.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Preserve delivery of each labeled announcement without allowing runs based on older pull-request state to publish authoritative statuses or overwrite the shared index.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the latest blocking deadline for a shared SHA.

If two RFC pull requests share a SHA and both windows remain open, worst keeps the first failure. The commit status can then say that merging is blocked only until the first RFC’s deadline, even though the second RFC has a later deadline. Select the failure with the latest notBefore value, while retaining failures that have no labeled event, and test both pull-request orders.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Serialize shared status and index updates without dropping announcements.

This group lets a labeled run execute alongside an older run. If the older run reads the pull-request list before an RFC label is applied, it can publish its earlier success verdict after the labeled run publishes failure. run also rewrites the index from each run’s snapshot. Keep labeled announcements independent, but serialize or otherwise order status and index writes so an older snapshot cannot replace a newer one. GitHub concurrency groups do not serialize runs with different group names. (docs.github.com)
