Main-is-released check, and the codified star-chart shape - #34

Conversation
Reusable workflow for the invariant behind "main is the released version, not the newest work": every commit on main is a tagged release, so an untagged main head is itself the alarm. Callers pin it by SHA and run it on a schedule plus push to main. It separates three states that all look like "not tagged" from the outside. A repository with zero tags cannot be evaluated at all and says so rather than reporting drift. A drifted main reports the newest reachable tag and how many commits it is behind. A prerelease on main is its own failure by default, since a release candidate on the default branch is the exact drift this exists to catch. Read-only: contents: read, egress blocked to github.com, and no credentials persisted through checkout. fetch-depth: 0 because tags only travel with full history and a shallow clone would fail for the wrong reason and read as real drift.
Scott drew the target and it is now the renderer. The chart reads as native GitHub UI rather than as a third-party embed: a 900x460 card on GitHub's own border colour, sans for the words and mono for every number, a 2px accent line over a faint gradient, interior gridlines and a solid baseline. The accent is the repository's logo colour, passed as a new required input, and an accent that is not a colour now fails instead of drawing a chart with no line. Three behaviours the renderer decides rather than hard-codes, each because the naive version produced something wrong on a real repository. The y-axis searches step-and-tick-count pairs, since rounding the step alone put drydock's 239 stars on a 0-400 axis with the curve in the bottom 60% of the plot. The curve is a monotone cubic, since a cardinal spline overshoots on a curve this flat and an overshoot on a cumulative count draws a dip that never happened. X labels drop to day precision when month names collide, which is the actual condition rather than a guessed span threshold. Two files ship now, not one. GitHub's theme toggle does not reach a media query inside an <img>-embedded SVG, so a self-theming file shows a white card to anyone reading GitHub dark with a light OS. It does drive a <picture> element in the README, so the pair is generated from one fetch and the markup chooses. They commit together or not at all: a <picture> with a fresh light chart and a stale dark one shows two different histories depending on who is looking, and nothing reports it. The documented trigger moves from a cron to the release cut. A committed artifact refreshed on a schedule mutates underneath a tag, which is what the main-is-released rule forbids. The renderer block is generated from ops render-chart.mjs by splice-into-workflow.mjs rather than hand-copied, and byte parity with that module was verified against live drydock data before this landed. Also fixes an assertion in the main-is-released test that sliced the whole if-block as the decisive expression and so could never pass.

Read the workflow, the renderer block and both contract tests. The byte-parity check against the ops module is the part that makes the embedded copy safe to keep, and the accent validation closes the same silent-success hole the max-pages fix did.

The chart becomes a first-party SVG generated from GitHub's own stargazer timestamps and committed into the consuming repository, so it needs no secret and makes no request at render time. That property is the point. A live route that loses its credential serves a plausible placeholder at HTTP 200 forever with nothing reporting red, which is exactly how drydock's chart sat broken. A committed artifact fails visibly or not at all. The generator is embedded in the workflow rather than checked out from a second repository, so a caller's SHA pin covers every line of behaviour with nothing resolved at run time. Verified against live data before committing: byte-identical output to the reference implementation for drydock at 238 stars and 3 API calls, and a clean no-op exit on a repo with a single star. - feat(workflows): starchart-refresh.yml, egress-blocked to api.github.com and github.com, contents: write as its only elevated scope - test(workflows): contract test covering the embedded generator, env-var input handling, the self-contained SVG, and the conditional commit-back - ci(validation): run the new contract test in standards validation - docs(onboarding): document the caller shape and why the artifact is committed rather than served * test(workflows): syntax-check the embedded star-chart generator This workflow never runs in this repository, so a syntax error inside the heredoc would first surface in a consumer's scheduled job, days later and in someone else's lane. The test recovers the generator the way the shell will actually see it, stripping the run block's base indentation rather than reading the file as written, since a heredoc body that looks correct in YAML can still reach node malformed. Then node --check parses it. Verified with a negative control rather than assumed: injecting a syntax error into the generator fails the test, and reverting passes it. * fix(workflows): reject the inputs that would publish a wrong star chart All three from CodeRabbit on #32, and the max-pages one was a real bug of exactly the kind this workflow exists to prevent. max-pages: 0 made pages 0, which fetched nothing, which hit the "too few stars" clean exit. A repository with 238 stars would have reported a green no-op. A cap below the needed page count was worse than that: it drew a chart from the first N pages and published a partial history as a whole one behind a ::warning:: nobody reads. Both now fail loudly, and the cap must be a positive integer. branch had no runtime guard. Omitting a default only prevents omission, so a caller could still pass main and, on a repository whose ruleset let the push through, commit straight to the default branch. Rejected before checkout rather than at the push, where the error would be confusing. output-path was read through the environment, which stops script injection but not traversal. An absolute or ../ path reached writeFileSync outside the checkout, and the commit step then found nothing staged and reported success. Writes now use the resolved and validated path rather than the raw input, since a check that doesn't govern the write is decoration. Verified behaviourally, not by reading: each rejected input throws, the one-star exit still no-ops, nothing lands outside the workspace, and the happy path is still byte-identical to the reference output for drydock. * Main-is-released check, and the codified star-chart shape (#34) * ci(standards): assert main points at a release tag Reusable workflow for the invariant behind "main is the released version, not the newest work": every commit on main is a tagged release, so an untagged main head is itself the alarm. Callers pin it by SHA and run it on a schedule plus push to main. It separates three states that all look like "not tagged" from the outside.

Read-only: contents: read, egress blocked to github.com, and no credentials persisted through checkout. fetch-depth: 0 because tags only travel with full history and a shallow clone would fail for the wrong reason and read as real drift. * ci(starchart): render the codified chart shape in both themes Scott drew the target and it is now the renderer. The chart reads as native GitHub UI rather than as a third-party embed: a 900x460 card on GitHub's own border colour, sans for the words and mono for every number, a 2px accent line over a faint gradient, interior gridlines and a solid baseline. The accent is the repository's logo colour, passed as a new required input, and an accent that is not a colour now fails instead of drawing a chart with no line.

GitHub suppresses workflow runs for events caused by GITHUB_TOKEN, and every consuming repo publishes its release with exactly that — portwing via GoReleaser, drydock via `gh release create`. A caller wired from this file's own example lints clean, reads as correctly configured, and refreshes nothing forever. That's the silent-success shape the committed-SVG rework existed to remove, reintroduced by the instructions for it. Example is now a workflow_dispatch the release cut fires, with the suppression and its two documented exceptions written down so the next person doesn't rederive the broken version. Found by the sockguard lane after three repos had been told to adopt it. main-is-released: an exact tag match alone was never the invariant. Any tag satisfied it, so one named `snapshot` or `latest` parked on a drifted main read as a pass. Now requires a release-shaped version. Prerelease detection moved off `case *-*`, which called `my-tag` a prerelease and would have accepted it under allow-prerelease. main-is-released: a promotion merges before its tag is pushed, so a run in that window reported drift that resolved itself seconds later. Three attempts with a tag refetch between them. It can't mask real drift — an untagged main is still untagged on the last attempt — and a failed refetch warns rather than passing. Verified by extracting the decision block and running it against real repositories: v1.7.4 and 1.7.4 pass, snapshot/latest/my-tag fail as malformed, v1.7.0-rc.2 fails as prerelease and passes under allow-prerelease, and allow-prerelease does not reopen the any-tag hole. 87 contract tests green. * fix(workflows): correct two overstated claims CodeRabbit caught The refetch warning said the verdict uses the refs from checkout. It might not: attempt 1 can succeed and attempt 2 fail, and a failed fetch can leave some refs updated. Now says the refs currently available on the runner, which is what's actually true. 'The two documented exceptions to the suppression' was an overclaim. pull_request with opened/synchronize/reopened is a third — it creates a run in an approval-required state rather than being suppressed. workflow_dispatch and repository_dispatch are the two that fire UNATTENDED, which is the property a release cut actually needs, so the comment now says that instead.

Two changes that both fall out of the
main= GA rule Scott codified yesterday.main-is-released.ymlA reusable workflow asserting the invariant: every commit on
mainis a tagged release, so an untaggedmainhead is itself the alarm. Callers pin it by SHA.It separates three states that all look the same from outside. Zero tags means the invariant can't be evaluated, and it says that rather than reporting drift. A drifted
mainreports the newest reachable tag and how far past it it is. A prerelease onmainfails by default, since an rc on the default branch is the exact thing this catches (drydock'smainsat onv1.7.0-rc.2).Read-only:
contents: read, egress blocked togithub.com, no persisted credentials,fetch-depth: 0because a shallow clone would makedescribefail for the wrong reason and read as real drift.Measured before writing it: 6 of 7 repos fail today. Adoption is each lane's call, since rollback-vs-cut changes what users see.
The star chart
Scott drew the target and it's now the renderer. It reads as native GitHub UI instead of a third-party embed. The accent is each repo's logo colour, a new required input, and an accent that isn't a colour now fails rather than drawing a chart with no line.
Three things the renderer decides rather than hard-codes, each because the naive version was wrong on a real repo:
Jun Jun Jul Jul Aug. A span threshold would have been a guess.Two files ship now. GitHub's theme toggle doesn't reach a media query inside an
<img>-embedded SVG, so a self-theming file shows a white card to anyone on GitHub dark with a light OS. It does drive a<picture>in the README, so the pair comes from one fetch and the markup chooses. They commit together or not at all.The trigger moves from a cron to
release: [published], because a committed artifact refreshed on a schedule mutates underneath a tag.Verification
