ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #65
Conversation
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).

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change safely converts an auto-fixing bot into a read-only compliance check that only reports and fails on detected drift; the one identified gap is that an unrelated line containing "AGPL-3.0" text in a scanned dotfile could trigger a false licence-drift failure, which is a minor, low-cost fix recommended before merge but does not block safe operation. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the purpose and main workflow changes, but it does not follow the repository template. It omits the required Changes section, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing section, and Screenshots section. Resolution Update the description to use the required template. Add a Changes list, complete the RSR Quality Checklist, describe the tests that were run and their results, and add screenshots or terminal output if applicable. Retain the existing rationale and link to standards#759 as appropriate.

Match the SPDX header instead of all AGPL-3.0 text.
An unrelated line containing AGPL-3.0 would increment DRIFT and fail the canary. Match the complete SPDX header to prevent false licence-drift reports.

‼️ 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.

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, andbulk-rewrites SPDX headers — which the standing licence policy forbids. It also interpolates
${{ steps.fix.outputs.FIXES }}into arun:block (repo-derived filenames, soattacker-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#759migration (canary propagation, option (a)). The workflow'suses:pins are unchanged, so
actions.lockis unaffected.
