## How it was verified

<!-- The command you ran and its output, the test that passed, the page you loaded.

**Before this can merge** (both are enforced, not suggestions):

- [ ] Exactly one `type:` label is applied. The `pr-type-label` check fails without it.
- `type:feature` — new capability or user-visible behaviour
- `type:bugfix` — corrects behaviour that was already meant to work
- `type:hotfix` — urgent production fix, expedited
- `type:chore` — dependencies, tooling, refactors, config, release plumbing
- `type:docs` — documentation, runbooks, changelog
- `type:security` — vulnerability fix, hardening, secret rotation
- [ ] Approved by someone other than the author. Self-merge is blocked for everyone, admins included.

<sub>These two gates are Redpine's SOC2 change-management control. If one is blocking something genuinely urgent, get a second person to approve — do not ask for the control to be disabled.</sub>

GitHub Actions pull_request workflow file merge commit pull_request_target base branch workflow security official documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the pull_request and pull_request_target event triggers differ fundamentally in their security posture and context [1][2][3]. Key Differences and Security Implications pull_request - Context: Runs the workflow file from the merge commit of the pull request [1][2]. - Security: Considered unprivileged and safe for untrusted code [1][4]. GitHub automatically restricts these workflows by providing a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN, withholding access to repository secrets, and preventing access to privileged caches [1][3]. - Best Practice: Use this for building and testing code from pull requests [2][3]. pull_request_target - Context: Runs the workflow file from the base repository's default branch [1][2]. - Security: Considered a privileged context [5][4]. Because it runs using trusted code from your default branch, it is granted access to repository secrets and read/write permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN [1][6][3]. - Risk: If you use actions/checkout to fetch the head of an untrusted pull request within a pull_request_target workflow, you may unintentionally execute malicious code with your repository's full privileges—a vulnerability known as a "pwn request" [5][7]. Recent Security Enhancements As of June 2026, actions/checkout (version 7 and later) includes built-in protection for pull_request_target workflows [7]. It will refuse to check out the head of a pull request from a fork unless you explicitly opt out by setting allow-unsafe-pr-checkout: true [1][7]. This flag is intentionally named to be highly visible during code reviews [1][7]. Recommended Secure Workflow Pattern To perform operations that require both untrusted pull request data and elevated permissions (such as posting comments or labeling), follow this two-stage approach: 1. Unprivileged Workflow: Triggered by pull_request. This workflow processes the untrusted code, runs tests, and saves the results as artifacts [4][8]. 2. Privileged Workflow: Triggered by workflow_run. This workflow waits for the first workflow to complete, then downloads the verified artifacts and performs the necessary privileged actions (using repository secrets or write permissions) [5][4][8]. This pattern ensures that untrusted code is never executed in an environment that has access to secrets or write tokens [4][8].

Run the required check from trusted workflow code.

pull_request loads this workflow from the pull request's merge commit. A pull request can change the validation logic while preserving the required pr-type-label job. Use pull_request_target unless changes to this workflow are separately protected.

Keep the current no-checkout design, least-privilege permissions, and no execution of pull-request code.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

## Pull requests

Two gates are enforced on the default branch and are not optional. They are
Redpine's SOC2 change-management control.

1. **Every PR carries exactly one `type:` label.** The `pr-type-label` status check
fails without it, and the PR cannot merge. Apply the label when you open the PR,
not afterwards:

| Label | Use for |
|---|---|
| `type:feature` | New capability or user-visible behaviour |
| `type:bugfix` | Corrects behaviour that was already meant to work |
| `type:hotfix` | Urgent production fix, expedited |
| `type:chore` | Dependencies, tooling, refactors, config, release plumbing |
| `type:docs` | Documentation, runbooks, changelog |
| `type:security` | Vulnerability fix, hardening, secret rotation |

2. **Every PR is approved by someone other than its author.** Self-merge is blocked
for everyone, repository admins included. An automated review is useful evidence
but does not satisfy this gate; a human other than the author must approve.

If you are an agent opening a PR: apply the `type:` label in the same command that
creates the PR (`gh pr create --label type:...`), and never merge your own PR.
