fix(ci): resync actions.lock and add a lock-sync recurrence gate - #66
Merged
Merged
Conversation
GitHub refuses a run at startup, creating zero jobs, when a workflow carries a `uses:` ref that the lockfile does not record under that workflow's own path. It matches by LITERAL STRING; `gh actions-lock` matches by resolved commit, so a lock entry naming a tag that dereferences to the pinned SHA passes the tool and still kills the run. Regenerate the lock, make it transitively closed, and add a lock-sync gate carrying no `uses:` of its own so it cannot be disabled by the desync it detects. No workflow YAML is modified.

never runs executables or workflow logic from the pull-request checkout.
In `@scripts/check-lock-sync.sh`:
- Line 297: Update the success message in the lock-sync check to state that only
step-level uses are locked under their own workflow path, removing the claim
about job-level reusable references. Keep the surrounding validation behavior
unchanged.
- Line 157: Update the raw-reference handling in the lock-sync parser so valid
GitHub Actions self-repository references matching $/<path> are skipped rather
than recorded as corruption; preserve validation for other references and do not
permit an `@ref` suffix.

Run the validator from the protected base ref.
On pull_request, the workflow checks out github.event.pull_request.head.sha and then runs scripts/check-lock-sync.sh from that checkout. A same-repository pull request can replace that executable with a no-op, so the lock-sync job can report success while actions.lock remains desynchronised. The pull request can also modify the workflow definition itself.
Use a trusted base-ref workflow that fetches pull-request files into a separate directory and runs the validator from the base ref against those files. Do not execute scripts from the pull-request checkout. Keep the gate workflow outside pull-request control.

The gate carries zero real 'uses:' refs by design, so it had no lockfile entry. On verisimdb the identical one-line addition flipped the gate from 7 consecutive startup_failure runs to success, with no other change. This repo is the only other one in the round-3 batch whose gate will not start (2 of 2 runs startup_failure while 13 sibling repos start the byte-identical file), so it gets the same treatment. Zero-'uses:' workflows take the empty list. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X3hgXxWm6umMgZkjYyHnnm

The gate could not defend the fix this PR ships. Clauses 1-3 ask "is every `uses:` locked under its own workflow path?" GitHub asks a DIFFERENT question: "is every workflow FILE represented in the lock?" A workflow with no `uses:` satisfies clauses 1-3 vacuously and GitHub still refuses to start it - which is exactly how lock-sync-gate.yml failed here 7 times running while the checker reported the lock in sync. Thirteen other repositories passed the gate with the same gap present, so a green gate was not evidence of a complete lock. Clause 4 diffs the set of files under .github/workflows/ against the set of lockfile keys, fails on any file with no key, names it, and quotes the empty-list form to add. Remediation step 4 warns that re-running `gh actions-lock` may not fix it, because omitting the file is the tool's own defect. Mutation-tested both ways: deleting the lock-sync-gate key fails the gate, and deleting the unrelated labels.yml key fails it too; the unmutated tree passes.

…rces Clause 1 is enforced for step-level `uses:` only; job-level reusable refs are reported as a note and never required -- GitHub does not enforce them at workflow startup. The header and success message claimed otherwise, promising a stronger guarantee than the gate delivers. Behaviour is unchanged: the gate still fails on a step-level desync (mutation-tested).

…s with a written determination (#67) (#72) Closes #67. ## What #67 asked, and the answers | Check | Determination | Red on `main` too? | |---|---|---| | `core-fill-tests` | **Retired** | Yes — since #43 (2026-08-24) deleted `deno.json`, a month before #66. Its task was `cargo test … fill_blocks_`, a strict subset of the `rust-core` job. | | `extension-build` | **Retired** | Yes — same #43 deletion; the bundle toolchain is not in the checkout at all. Comes back under a new name when the frontend has a pipeline. | Neither was in a required-check set (the repo's rulesets have no `required_status_checks` rule). Nothing was muted: no `continue-on-error`, no demotion, and the full ledger with a review date is in `docs/ci/CHECK-DETERMINATIONS.adoc`. ## The larger thing underneath it At `main` = d50a857, **all nine** push-triggered workflows were `startup_failure`, jobs=0 — including the Lock Sync Gate and the CI workflow that would run any check at all. Four consecutive merges after #66 rewrote `uses:` refs without touching `actions.lock`: - #69 (Dependabot) bumped codeql-action to `1c5b675` (= **v4.38.1**, the held version) → killed `codeql.yml`, `hypatia-scan.yml`. It got through the hold because the ignore was `github/codeql-action`, which does not match the `/init`, `/analyze`, `/upload-sarif` subpath names Dependabot tracks. Merged with the gate red. - #70 (Dependabot) bumped haskell-actions/setup → killed `casket-pages.yml`. Merged with the gate red. - #71 replaced the `ci.yml` jobs, leaving stale `setup-deno`/`wasm-pack-action` lock entries → killed `ci.yml`. By then the gate was already dead from #69/#70, so nothing could flag it. ## Changes - **`actions.lock`** resynchronised and transitively closed — `scripts/check-lock-sync.sh` exits 0 on all four clauses. - **`codeql.yml` / `hypatia-scan.yml`**: re-pinned to `b96794f` (true v4.38.0), restoring the hold #64 set and #68 re-asserted. The `# v4.38.0` comment Dependabot left next to the 4.38.1 SHA was false; it is now true. - **`dependabot.yml`**: ignore glob `github/codeql-action*` (estate-canonical form from `hyperpolymath/standards`), weekly cadence, `open-pull-requests-limit: 2`, header explaining the lock contract. - **`ci.yml`**: `rust-core` kept; the duplicate `workflow-lock` job dropped — it ran inside a workflow GitHub refuses to start on exactly the fault it checked, so it could never report. `lock-sync-gate.yml` (no `uses:`) is the authoritative gate. - **`docs/ci/CHECK-DETERMINATIONS.adoc`**: the ledger, root-cause table, standing rules, review date 2026-12-27. - `TEST-NEEDS.adoc`, `TOPOLOGY.adoc`, `CHANGELOG.adoc`: stop describing a Deno/Jest pipeline that does not exist. ## Verification - `scripts/check-lock-sync.sh` → `actions.lock is in sync and transitively closed` (run locally with gawk). - All workflow YAML parses. - `rust-core` has **never** had a run that reached execution (every prior `ci.yml` run was a Deno failure or a startup failure), and this sandbox cannot reach crates.io, so **this PR's checks are the first real run**. If `rust-core` is red here, that is a genuine finding about the crate and I will fix it in this PR rather than merge over it. ## Owner action that this PR cannot do (needs admin) Add `actions.lock is in sync with the workflow YAML` and `Rust core (tests, formatting, lint)` as **required status checks** on `main`. #69 and #70 were merged by hand with the gate red; without a required-check rule the standing rule "never merge over a red gate" is a convention, not an enforcement. This is the piece that makes the fix permanent. --------- Co-authored-by: hyperpolymath <6759885+hyperpolymath@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: arena-agent <297053741+arena-agent@users.noreply.github.com>

What this fixes
.github/workflows/actions.lockhad drifted from the workflow YAML. That drift isnot cosmetic: GitHub refuses such a run at startup, creating zero jobs, and
reports only "This run likely failed because of a workflow file issue." Most of a
repository's CI can be silently dead for days without a single red tick, because a
run that never starts posts no check.
Measured across the estate on 2026-09-22: 13 of 37 repositories swept were in
this state.
Why it happened here
GitHub's startup check compares the lockfile ref to the workflow's
uses:ref as aliteral string.
gh actions-lockcompares them by resolved commit. The twodisagree whenever a lock entry names a tag that dereferences to exactly the commit
the YAML pins — the tool prints
All N workflows validand GitHub still kills therun.
Proof, on
hyperpolymath/awesome-nickel/codeql.yml:uses:ad035f4e(09-21)codeql-action/init@v4.38.0codeql-action@v4.38.09d83550d(09-22)codeql-action/init@b96794f0…codeql-action@v4.38.0startup_failure, jobs=0v4.38.0dereferences tob96794f0…— the same commit the YAML pins — and the runstill died. A cross-workflow control at the same heads (
boj-build.yml, lock-matched)was green, so the lock is not globally broken; the failure is scoped to the one
workflow whose entry mismatches.
What changed
.github/workflows/actions.lockregenerated and made transitively closed. A refnamed under
workflows:or inside another record's nesteduses:with no top-leveldependencies:record is a dangling edge and kills the run at startup.below.
gh actions-lockwas run with--no-migrate-local-actions, which prevents itrewriting

uses:refs in the YAML on aschedule and cannot touch the lockfile, so the repo re-breaks on the next grouped
bump. This PR therefore also adds:
.github/workflows/lock-sync-gate.yml— fails any PR whose lockfile has drifted.scripts/check-lock-sync.sh— the check itself.The gate deliberately carries no
uses:of its own — it checks out by callinggitin a
run:step instead ofactions/checkout, so it has no lockfile entry to go staleand is structurally immune to the very failure it detects. It also has no
paths:filter, on purpose: a filtered workflow never reports on PRs that miss the filter, which
would deadlock any branch ruleset requiring this check.
The gate hard-fails on desync. It is not
continue-on-errorand not a::warning::,which cannot fail a job.
Note on
gh actions-lock --verify-localThe gate does not call
gh actions-lock --verify-local, which was the originallyproposed mechanism. That tool is measured wrong in both directions: it reports STALE on
job-level reusable-workflow refs it cannot parse (upstream #129 — 5 repos in this sweep
are false reds from exactly that), and it reports valid on the tag-vs-SHA literal
mismatch above.
check-lock-sync.shtests literal-string equality, which is what GitHubactually enforces.
Expected on this PR
Workflows that have not executed since the desync began will run here for the first
time, and some may go red for reasons unrelated to this change. Per the estate stopping
rule each becomes its own issue with acceptance criteria, not a blocker on this PR.
