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 index titles now safely display @ characters without triggering mention behavior.
    • Pull requests sharing a commit now receive a single RFC status, with a failing verdict taking precedence. Unchanged statuses are not republished.
    • Label-triggered RFC workflow runs no longer replace pending runs, helping ensure each labeled update is processed.

Walkthrough

The RFC script now aggregates verdicts and publishes statuses by head SHA, avoids repeated identical status updates, and escapes @ characters in index titles. The workflow assigns labeled events a run-specific concurrency group. Labeled-RFC announcements and index updates are handled by extracted helpers.

Changes

RFC status and announcement workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
RFC verdict evaluation
.github/scripts/rfc.cjs, .github/scripts/rfc.test.cjs
Verdicts for open pull requests sharing a head SHA are combined, with failure taking precedence. Index titles escape @ characters, and tests cover the escaping.
Per-SHA status publication
.github/scripts/rfc.cjs, .github/scripts/rfc.test.cjs
The run delegates evaluation and status publication to helpers. Publication skips a SHA when its latest matching-context status has the same state and description. A test checks that shared-SHA pull requests produce one failure status.
Labeled RFC handling
.github/scripts/rfc.cjs, .github/workflows/rfc.yml
The announcement helper resolves stakeholders and posts the announcement. Labeled events use a run-specific concurrency group; other events use the shared group.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 18efb

The status lookup has a narrow, pre-existing pagination issue, but the reviewed changes do not establish a new merge-blocking failure. This PR is mergeable after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 18efb

Concurrent RFC runs can replace a failing merge check with an older success and can restore an outdated RFC index. Later runs may correct the state, but the workflow does not prevent the temporary reversal.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Independent labeled runs can race with other runs: a stale success can supersede a failing RFC moratorium status, and an older snapshot can overwrite the Open RFCs index.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The stale-write exposure is bounded in the supplied source to this repository's RFC status on affected head SHAs and its Open RFCs issue. No cross-repository authority change is evidenced.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If an older run reads a pull request before it receives the RFC label, it can create a success status after a concurrent labeled run creates failure. That could temporarily defeat the documented merge moratorium; actual merge eligibility depends on the unsupplied live protection configuration and merge timing.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The pull_request_target job checks out base-branch workflow code rather than pull-request code. Failure precedence for shared SHAs and suppression of identical latest statuses operate within an invocation, not across concurrent invocations.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Status creation and issue updates have no run-generation or atomic freshness condition; the index body's read-before-write comparison does not prevent a later stale overwrite.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Preserve independent delivery of labeled announcements while serializing status and index publication, or enforce freshness before those writes. Separately verify encoded-mention behavior against GitHub's rendered and notification outcomes.

official GitHub REST documentation list commit statuses for a reference ordering create commit status 1000 statuses per commit context

💡 Result:

GitHub’s official REST documentation confirms:

- **List statuses:** `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{ref}/statuses`. Results are in reverse chronological order, with the latest status first. `ref` can be a SHA, branch, or tag. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses))
- **Limit:** A maximum of **1,000 statuses per SHA and context** in a repository; exceeding it causes a validation error. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses))

[GitHub REST API: Commit statuses](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses)

Page through commit statuses before checking for an unchanged status.

listCommitStatusesForRef returns only the first 100 statuses. If 100 newer statuses use other contexts, the latest rfc-moratorium status can be on a later page, so this code creates one duplicate. The new status then becomes newest, so this does not cause repeated duplicates on the next hourly run. The 1,000-status limit can block the create call only if that context is already at the limit.

Suggested fix
-        const { data: current } = await github.rest.repos.listCommitStatusesForRef({ owner, repo, ref: sha, per_page: 100 });
+        const current = await github.paginate(github.rest.repos.listCommitStatusesForRef, { owner, repo, ref: sha, per_page: 100 });
