Consumer repos call update-action-pins, conventional-commits, osv-scanner and the issue automations from a small stub per workflow instead of carrying drifting copies. See "Governance workflows" in the README for the stubs and the new check names. - update-action-pins: quote- and spacing-tolerant matcher, scans all of .github/ (composite actions too), no paths filter; covered by scripts/test-update-action-pins.sh - osv-scanner: new, reusable only; scan-args is an input - pins bumped to the versions consumers already use BREAKING CHANGE: make repo-settings no longer installs update-action-pins.yml. Consumers call it through a stub instead.

In @.github/workflows/osv-scanner.yml:
- Around line 35-43: Update the scan-pr workflow so merge_group events do not
use the PR comparison workflow, which relies on an unavailable GITHUB_BASE_REF.
Route merge_group to a dedicated full scan, or use an upstream workflow revision
that supports merge_group, while preserving the required check configuration;
keep scan-pr for pull_request events.
In @.github/workflows/update-action-pins.yml:
- Line 33: Update the self-reference filter in the workflow’s pin-scanning
pipeline to exclude valid `$/<path>` references as well as `./` references, so
they are not subjected to SHA checks. Add a passing fixture for a `$/` action or
workflow reference.
- Line 34: Update the pin-validation filter in the workflow so it removes YAML
comments before checking `uses` values and accepts only action references whose
own value ends in a 40-character SHA; add a failing fixture for a mutable
reference with a SHA only in its comment.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 285-290: Update the documented `update-action-pins` and
`conventional-commits` stubs so their required checks report for merge queue
events, including appropriate `merge_group` triggers and handling;
alternatively, explicitly document that consumers must not require these checks
when using a merge queue. Leave the OSV stub unchanged because it already
supports this event.
- Line 214: Update the stub workflow permissions block containing pull-requests:
read to also grant contents: read, so the called Commit Messages job can check
out the repository with its default token.
- Line 211: Update both `branches: ["main"]` filters in the conventional-commits
and OSV check examples to match the branches protected by `repo-settings`,
including custom default branches and any `REPO_RULESET_BRANCHES` targets;
remove the filters if they should run on all pull-request branches.

The upstream PR scan checks out $GITHUB_BASE_REF, which is empty for merge_group, so it compared the tree against itself and passed without checking. No repo uses a merge queue.

The matcher accepted any line containing a 40-hex SHA, so `uses: org/repo@main # @<sha>` passed on the SHA in the comment. Strip the comment before matching; covered by a new test case.

Renovate bumps the dev-kit flake input tag with a regex manager, which can't update flake.lock, so `nix develop` rewrites the lock in CI and diff-check fails. The reusable renovate-dev-kit-lock workflow runs `nix flake update dev-kit` on renovate/dev-kit and commits the lock through the org's dev-kit GitHub App: an API commit is signed by GitHub, and unlike GITHUB_TOKEN it starts CI on the new head. Needs the app and the DEV_KIT_APP_CLIENT_ID / DEV_KIT_APP_PRIVATE_KEY org secrets; not yet run end to end.

No stub triggers on merge_group. A repo that enables a merge queue has to add the trigger to every stub whose check it requires, and must not require the osv-scanner PR scan, which diffs against an empty GITHUB_BASE_REF there.

Four things, one of them blocking. 1. 2. It contradicts opendefensecloud/renovate-config#20, which sets Both resolve by ordering: merge opendefensecloud/renovate-config#20 first with its manual flow, 3. Add a line on why one stub per workflow. The alternative — a single 4. #38 closes, the dev-kit-own-pins gap does not. No |
nix flake lock relocks only inputs whose flake.nix reference changed, so the workflow doesn't have to name the dev-kit input and matches what renovate-config#19 expects. Same result on Solar: only the dev-kit node changes, and a second run is a no-op.

What
Make the governance workflows reusable, so consumer repos call them from a small stub instead of carrying copies that drift.
Closes #38.
scorecardstays a standalone workflow per repo (decided in #37).Why
Each consumer carries its own copy of
update-action-pins,conventional-commits,osv-scannerand the issue automations. The copies have drifted —update-action-pinsalone exists in three variants, and dev-kit's own misses- uses:spacing and is gated by apathsfilter, which leaves a required check pending forever on PRs outside those paths.Testing
scripts/test-update-action-pins.shruns the real check extracted from the workflow (viayq) against 12 cases: quoted refs, sequence spacing, composite actions, reusable workflows, short SHAs. All pass; the old matcher fails 2 of them. Wired intotest-actions.yml.actionlintclean on all workflows and on the five README stubs (with a dummy SHA).renovate-dev-kit-lock: the relock step ran on a Solar checkout with the flake input bumped to v2.2.0 (nix flake lockrelocks onlydev-kit; a second run commits nothing, so no loop), and thecreateCommitOnBranchpayload round-tripsflake.lock. Not run end to end: it needs the org's dev-kit GitHub App (Monday).Notes for reviewers
One stub per workflow, not grouped by trigger: a workflow has a single
on:block andosv-scannerruns on PR, push and a schedule, so shared stubs would needif:guards and a union of permissions. A singleorg-checks.ymlwas wanted to get one Renovate PR per dev-kit release instead of one per stub; feat: group dev-kit pins and refresh flake.lock weekly renovate-config#20'sdev-kitgroup now delivers that whatever the stub count.dev-kit runs the workflows on its own events from the same files (
workflow_callnext to the regular triggers).osv-scanner.ymlis reusable only; dev-kit didn't scan itself before either.Pins bumped to what consumers already use (semantic-PR v6, checkout v7, add-to-project v2), so switching to the stub doesn't downgrade them.
Breaking:
make repo-settingsno longer installsupdate-action-pins.yml— it would recreate the copy the stub replaces. Upgrade path: the stubs in the README's "Governance workflows" section.Check names change to
<stub job> / <called job>, e.g.update-action-pins / Check action pins,osv-scanner / scan-pr / osv-scan. Consumers must updateREPO_STATUS_CHECKSand rerunmake repo-settingsin the same change.Overlaps with feat: add check-go-version and report unavailable goVersion #33 in
test-actions.ymlandcommon.mk; whichever merges second may need a small rebase.New:
renovate-dev-kit-lock.yml. Renovate's grouped dev-kit PR (update flake.lock when go version is bumped renovate-config#17/feat: add additional fields that are passed on to mkShell to support … #18) bumps the flake input tag but can't updateflake.lock, sonix developrewrites it in CI anddiff-checkfails. This workflow commitsnix flake locktorenovate/dev-kitvia a GitHub App token andcreateCommitOnBranch: signed by GitHub (required_signatures), and it starts CI, which aGITHUB_TOKENpush wouldn't. Needs, before merge:dev-kit-bot, installed on dev-kit and solution-arsenal for now; extended to the other consumers once it proves itself in the pilotDEV_KIT_BOT_APP_CLIENT_IDandDEV_KIT_BOT_APP_PRIVATE_KEY— done, shared with the same two reposgitIgnoredAuthors— in renovate-config#20Merge order
This PR is one step in a sequence; the relock workflow and renovate-config#20's manual
flake.locknote only look contradictory without it:flake.lockcommit (interim).dev-kit-bot; its bot is ingitIgnoredAuthorsvia renovate-config#20). Drop manual flake.lock steps once Renovate PRs get automated lock commits renovate-config#19 then drops the manual steps.Not covered here
renovate.jsonyet, and dev-kit doesn't callrenovate-auto-approveitself — that's Renovate-manage dev-kit's own pins and call renovate-auto-approve #40.osv-scanner.ymlis reusable-only, and dev-kit had no scan before either. No issue yet.Checklist
