Owner

The RSR workflow in this repository is the mutating variant of rhodibot: it runs on a
weekly cron with contents: write + pull-requests: write, deletes files by glob, and
bulk-rewrites SPDX headers — which the standing licence policy forbids. It also interpolates
${{ steps.fix.outputs.FIXES }} into a run: block (repo-derived filenames, so
attacker-influenceable) and hardcodes a personal e-mail address.

This replaces it with the report-only canary that the estate template already ships — the
already-approved design, not a new one. Same weekly schedule, same drift signal, no mutation:
it reports what an auto-fixer would have changed and fails the run when it finds drift,
rather than editing anything. Licence/SPDX drift is reported for manual, owner-only
correction; rhodibot must never edit a licence header.

Part of the standards#759 migration (canary propagation, option (a)). The workflow's uses:
pins are unchanged, so actions.lock is unaffected.

The RSR workflow here is the mutating variant: weekly cron, write permissions,
glob deletes, a bulk SPDX `sed` sweep the licence policy forbids, a
`${{ steps.fix.outputs.FIXES }}` injection sink, and a hardcoded personal
e-mail. Replaced with the canary the template ships: same schedule, same drift
signal, reports instead of mutating.

Refs hyperpolymath/standards#759 (option (a), canary propagation).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes
    • The compliance workflow now operates in report-only mode and no longer automatically modifies files or opens pull requests.
    • Detected compliance drift is reported clearly and causes the workflow check to fail; compliant runs report success.
    • Duplicate contribution-guide files are flagged without removing either file.
    • Workflow permissions have been reduced to read-only access, and runs are coordinated to prevent overlap.

Walkthrough

The workflow now runs as a report-only RSR compliance canary. It detects drift, records findings, and fails when drift exists. It no longer changes files, creates required files, or opens pull requests.

Changes

RSR compliance canary

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow triggers and permissions
.github/workflows/rhodibot.yml
The workflow uses read-only contents permission, a concurrency group, actions/checkout@v7.0.1, and no Hypatia completion trigger.
Drift detection and result reporting
.github/workflows/rhodibot.yml
The job reports banned files, stale snapshots, missing renames, duplicate files, manual SPDX fixes, missing required files, and verification-bypass patterns. It writes findings to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY and exits with failure when DRIFT > 0.
No-drift result
.github/workflows/rhodibot.yml
The final step reports success indicators when no drift is detected.

The report-only workflow is broadly mergeable, but its remediation guidance and advisory coverage should be corrected, and checkout should be SHA-pinned to satisfy the repository’s supply-chain policy.

Pin actions/checkout and regenerate the workflow lock. Repository guidance requires third-party GitHub Actions to use full 40-character commit SHAs. Replace actions/checkout@v7.0.1 with its resolved commit SHA, run gh actions-lock, and commit the resulting .github/workflows/actions.lock entry.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the contradiction between the SPDX check and its message.

The condition at line 68 accepts AGPL-3.0-or-later and warns only on a bare AGPL-3.0. The message at line 69 states that the policy is MPL-2.0. The repository guidance requires the SPDX identifier AGPL-3.0-or-later on all new files and forbids AGPL-3.0. An owner who follows the message will replace a compliant header with a non-compliant one. State the required identifier in the message, or change the condition if MPL-2.0 is truly the target for these dotfiles.

🐛 Proposed fix for the message
-              warn "$dotfile carries an AGPL-3.0 SPDX header; estate policy is MPL-2.0 — fix MANUALLY (owner-only, never auto-edited)"
+              warn "$dotfile carries a bare AGPL-3.0 SPDX header; the required identifier is AGPL-3.0-or-later — fix MANUALLY (owner-only, never auto-edited)"

Add unsafePerformIO to the advisory pattern list.

The repository guidance unconditionally bans unsafePerformIO in Haskell. This loop scans *.hs files but does not report that pattern.
