Closes #238

Scheduled sync and closeout callers can update their Dependabot workflow pin while keeping a stale extension input. Both reusable workflows now read their own package.json at job.workflow_sha, normalize the exact release version, and use it when the input is omitted. An explicit exact hold is honored with a warning naming both versions. Public exact-version registry metadata is validated before checkout/setup or any tracker mutation; installed metadata is still verified separately.

For example, workflow 2026.11.14 defaults to extension 2026.11.14; an explicit 2026.10.16 remains a visible deliberate hold. Callers should remove pm-github-version so future workflow pin updates also update the extension. The migration is documented in README and the changelog item title, so it appears in generated release notes. No callers are edited here. docs/workflow-version-callers.md inventories 51 calls across 28 public fleet repositories with exact pins, inputs, and contents blob receipts from the GitHub contents API.

Validation uses extracted real workflow bash, real scratch pm trackers without Git, and the pinned pm installer with local synthetic extension packages. Live HTTP smoke checks confirm default 2026.11.14, explicit 2026.10.16 plus the warning, and unavailable 2099.1.1 refusal before an install version is exported.

Behavioral reverts in disposable copies: default selection 4/4 failures, explicit hold 2/2, warning 2/2, registry preflight 2/2. Restoring the entire old resolver fails all 8 selected issue regressions across both workflows. The fixed implementation is restored and passing.

Local validation: focused tests 64/64 through the pinned pm test --run --progress --timeout 300 (286.7 seconds); workflow-order tests 2/2; typecheck, test typecheck, lint, privacy (9288 objects), docstrings (33 files / 315 declarations), YAML parsing, and diff whitespace checks passed. The first linked run exceeded its default 120-second deadline; the linked timeout is now 600 seconds. Changelog generation and its check pass after the final tracker write. Full npm/Bun release gates and unchanged 100/100/100/100 source coverage are certified by CI. There are no changed authored TypeScript/JavaScript source modules; workflow branches are exercised by the focused tests. actionlint is unavailable locally; both workflows parse as YAML.

PM evidence: pm-github-workflow-own-release.

Supplemental local strict health detects the existing global-extension host skew (pinned pm-cli 2026.11.6 versus global extension host requirement 2026.11.13) and seven advisory stale in-progress items. Tracker integrity passed. No SDK pin or global installation was changed; clean CI verifies the complete gate.


Summary by cubic

Fixes the pm-github sync and closeout workflows installing a stale extension version when callers update their Dependabot workflow pin. Both workflows now read their own package.json at job.workflow_sha and default the extension to that exact release; an explicit exact hold via pm-github-version remains honored but warns when it differs, and the selected version is validated against the public registry before any tracker write.

Migration

  • Callers must move the workflow pin to the release containing this fix and remove pm-github-version in the same change; a pin update alone keeps the stale input as an explicit hold.
  • No caller repositories are edited in this PR; docs/workflow-version-callers.md inventories the 51 existing holds for a follow-up sweep.

Written for commit 4bd7c31. Summary will update on new commits.

View guided diff Turn on auto-fix

Summary by Sourcery

Make reusable workflows derive their default extension version from the release pinned by the workflow and fail closed when that release cannot be validated.

Bug Fixes:

  • Make sync and closeout reusable workflows install the extension version associated with their pinned workflow release instead of silently using stale caller inputs.
  • Validate the selected extension release before checkout, setup, or tracker mutations while retaining independent installed-version verification.

Enhancements:

  • Honor explicit exact extension holds with warnings that identify both the workflow and selected extension versions.
  • Document the caller migration and inventory existing extension-version holds across public fleet repositories.

Documentation:

  • Update the README and changelog with manifest-based version resolution, registry preflight behavior, and caller migration guidance.

Tests:

  • Expand workflow tests to cover manifest resolution, normalization, explicit holds, registry failures, preflight ordering, tracker immutability, and real extension installation.

Chores:

  • Record workflow release ownership and historical PM evidence for the change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Reusable workflows now default to the extension version at the workflow’s pinned commit. A valid explicit version hold is honored, with a warning when it differs.
    • Workflows verify that the selected release is available and valid before proceeding; failures stop processing before tracker data is changed.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance covers version selection, explicit holds, and removing the deprecated input to follow the workflow release by default.
    • Added an inventory of existing workflow callers and migration guidance.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for version validation, warnings, registry checks, and failure handling.

Walkthrough

The sync and closeout workflows now default to the extension version in the pinned workflow’s package.json. They validate the selected version against npm before continuing. A supplied exact version remains an override and triggers a warning when it differs.

Changes

Reusable workflow versioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and validate the selected version
.github/workflows/pm-github-sync.yml, .github/workflows/pm-github-closeout.yml
Both workflows read version metadata from the pinned workflow commit, validate the manifest, select the workflow version by default, and accept a valid explicit version as an override. They check the selected package in npm before continuing.
Exercise version selection and failure handling
test/self-versioned-workflows.test.ts
Tests cover version normalization, explicit overrides and warnings, invalid workflow or registry metadata, failure without tracker writes, installation verification, and release-plan consistency.
Document caller migration and record implementation
README.md, CHANGELOG.md, docs/scheduled-workflow-watch-1106.md, docs/workflow-version-callers.md, .agents/pm/issues/pm-github-workflow-own-release.toon, .agents/pm/history/pm-github-workflow-own-release.jsonl
Documentation describes the updated version rules and caller migration. The inventory lists 51 calls across 28 repositories and reports no caller edits. Issue records track implementation and verification updates.

Reusable sync and closeout workflows now default to their own release's extension version. An explicit older version is still honored with a warning, and a nonexistent version fails before any tracker write. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; caller repositories still need the documented follow-up migration.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: reusable workflows installing stale extension versions. The PR defaults the extension version to the workflow's own release from package.json at job.workflow_sha, and it honors explicit holds with a warning. The title states the core fix in a concise, specific form.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is related to the changeset. It explains the sync and closeout workflow changes, the default version from package.json at job.workflow_sha, explicit hold warnings, registry preflight, the README and changelog migration docs, and the caller inventory. It also references issue #238 and the validation performed.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #238 has three coding requirements and one non-coding migration note.

(1) Default to the workflow release [#238]: the step 'Resolve pm-github release version' in .github/workflows/pm-github-sync.yml reads package.json from raw.githubusercontent.com/unbraind/pm-github/${job.workflow_sha}, validates the pm-github name and an exact N.N.N or N.N.N-N version, and normalizes zero-padded components with normalize_pm_github_version. When REQUESTED_PM_GITHUB_VERSION is empty, PM_GITHUB_VERSION equals the normalized workflow version. This covers the zero-padded tag case in the issue. The closeout workflow uses the same contract per the PR summary; I did not read its diff at this head.

(2) Explicit older hold with warning [#238]: a valid non-empty input replaces PM_GITHUB_VERSION after normalization. When it differs from the workflow version, the step emits ::warning:: naming both versions, matching the issue wording.

(3) Nonexistent version refused before tracker writes [#238]: the same step queries registry.npmjs.org/pm-github/${PM_GITHUB_VERSION} and checks the returned name and version. On failure it exits with an error. This step runs before 'Checkout caller default branch', 'Setup Node.js', 'Prepare sync branch from default branch', and the import steps.

(4) Migration note [#238]: the input description, README, CHANGELOG, and the caller inventory tell callers to drop pm-github-version. This is documentation and is not a coding requirement.

Limits: the whole-PR diff tool was unavailable for changed blobs, so I read the resolver step from the file at head rather than from a diff. The reported focused test results (64/64, with reverts failing 8 regressions) are taken from the PR description and were not independently re-run. I did not read test/self-versioned-workflows.test.ts or the install and installed-metadata steps. The PASS rests on the resolver step read at head and the reported test evidence.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each changed area maps to #238 or supports its migration. The two reusable workflows implement the version contract. README, CHANGELOG, and docs/scheduled-workflow-watch-1106.md document the new contract and the migration. docs/workflow-version-callers.md inventories existing pm-github-version holds to support the follow-up sweep that #238 describes. It edits no callers. The .agents/pm issue and history files record the associated PM item and are tracker evidence. test/self-versioned-workflows.test.ts covers the new resolver and removes obsolete tag-resolution scenarios. No changed module is unrelated to #238. Scope uncertainty: the whole-PR diff was unavailable, so I relied on the PR summary and the workflow file at head for file-level scope.

A pin update alone keeps a stale pm-github-version as an explicit hold, so the
caller would keep installing the older extension (now with a warning). The
caller inventory and the README migration note now say to make both edits
atomically. (CodeRabbit, docs/workflow-version-callers.md:6)

# Requirement Status Notes
1 When pm-github-version is omitted, default to the reusable workflow’s own release version, normalizing zero-padded versions. ✅ Met Both workflows read package.json at job.workflow_sha, normalize its exact version, and use it as the default; tests cover omitted inputs and padded versions.

3 Ship a migration note asking callers to drop pm-github-version. ✅ Met The changelog item title and README migration section tell callers to remove the input when updating their workflow pin.
4 Fail on a non-existent extension version before any tracker write. ✅ Met Both workflows validate exact-version registry metadata before checkout, setup, or tracker writes; tests assert the tracker remains unchanged on refusal.

The current Node 26 gate at a69388d2d93ba15fd8f22840f3b9c8780c78f36a fails four test/identity-inventory.test.ts assertions. Static check against that same head: the workflow resolver edit moves the ambiguous-legacy-identity conflict report anchor in .github/workflows/pm-github-sync.yml from line 466 to 440, while the checked-in ownership inventory still cites :466; the other anchor remains :27. This is a failure of the inventory’s exact source-identity contract, not evidence the new resolver chose the wrong package. Regenerate the affected anchor and verify the full five-test inventory suite and current CI; retain the anchor check. An independent Node 24 run on that exact head passed 1/5 before regeneration and 5/5 after the one-line inventory change.
