Repairs the shared causes behind natsci-studio #82 and fraying-model-computational-testbed #65: Hypatia fetches and verifies its resolved source commit, SSH mirrors verify independently approved fingerprints before pushing, and governance rejects empty job templates and retired descriptile path requirements. Replaces the nonexistent job.workflow_sha context with a reviewed immutable helper commit. Includes negative controls for forged/empty/malformed host keys, an advancing upstream scanner branch, mismatched scanner caches, and contradictory policy checks. Validation: three executable security regression tests pass; actionlint passes on the changed reusable workflows; governance contract and all 14 shape assertions pass. Fixes #762.

Walkthrough

The PR pins Standards helpers, validates Hypatia commit checkouts, adds workflow and descriptile policy checks, plans ruleset repairs, reconciles Scorecard findings, and expands regression coverage.

Changes

CI hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Governance pinning and descriptile policy
.github/workflows/governance-reusable.yml, scripts/check-descriptile-policy.sh, scripts/tests/governance-reusable-contract-test.sh, tests/test_governance_reusable_shape.sh
Standards checkouts use an immutable revision. Workflow lint runs the descriptile policy checker. Tests require a 40-character commit reference.
Hypatia commit checkout validation
.github/workflows/hypatia-scan-reusable.yml, scripts/apply-baseline.sh, .github/workflows/self-test.yml
Hypatia validates and checks out the resolved commit. Cache mismatches fail. warn counts as medium severity. Ruby test dependencies are installed.
Workflow and policy validation
tools/policy/check-workflows-parse.sh, scripts/tests/policy-gates-test.sh, scripts/tests/science-ci-security-test.rb
Workflow parsing supports yq and Ruby and rejects workflows without jobs. Fixtures cover malformed and empty job definitions.
Ruleset constraint repair planning
scripts/plan-ruleset-constraint-repair.rb, scripts/tests/ruleset-constraint-repair-test.sh
The planner validates rulesets, removes retired constraints, preserves supported protections, and handles verified bypass removal.
Scorecard action-lock reconciliation
scripts/reconcile-scorecard-actions-lock.rb, scripts/tests/reconcile-scorecard-actions-lock-test.rb, scripts/tests/reconcile-scorecard-actions-lock-test.sh, .github/workflows/scorecard-reusable.yml, .github/workflows/self-test.yml
Scorecard findings are checked with gh actions-lock. Verified findings are removed from uploaded SARIF and recorded in an audit report.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c78f9

This should not merge yet: valid clean scans can fail, warning findings cannot be acknowledged through the documented baseline contract, and unresolved governance checks can be bypassed or execute mutable code. The Scorecard artifact path also remains vulnerable to output collisions.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #762 requires approved SSH host verification for GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, SourceHut, Disroot, and Gitea. The workflow uses a temporary scan file only after fingerprint comparison, sets strict host checking, and skips when the private key is absent. The security regression test covers approved, forged, empty, malformed, and unapproved keys for all six targets. The workflow comments and configuration variables document caller setup. The available evidence does not establish that downstream callers received an updated immutable workflow pin after the fix merged.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/governance-reusable.yml:
- Line 270: Update the stale workflow terminology in
.github/workflows/governance-reusable.yml: at lines 270 and 1254, revise
comments to describe the explicit helper commit pin rather than
job.workflow_sha; at line 1278, update the failure message to use the same
explicit helper-pin terminology. Keep the workflow behavior unchanged.

In @.github/workflows/mirror-reusable.yml:
- Around line 194-214: Extract the duplicated SSH host verification logic into a
local composite action with host and approved-fingerprint inputs, preserving
validation, key scanning, fingerprint comparison, and GIT_SSH_COMMAND setup.
Replace each job’s inline verification block with a single invocation of the
action, and add the corresponding local action reference to this workflow’s
actions.lock entry.
- Around line 86-87: Make the “Verify gitlab SSH host” step advisory-only by
configuring it to continue on error, matching the existing mirror push behavior.
Preserve the current conditional on env.GITLAB_KEY and ensure a failed
ssh-keyscan does not fail the workflow or turn main red.
- Line 147: Update the APPROVED_FINGERPRINT configuration for Disroot so it does
not rely on the unverified hardcoded default: confirm and replace it with an
authoritative git.disroot.org ED25519 fingerprint, or require
DISROOT_SSH_FINGERPRINT to be explicitly provided. Preserve fail-closed SSH host
verification.

In `@docs/MIRROR-HOST-VERIFICATION.adoc`:
- Around line 36-40: Update the documentation paragraph to identify
scripts/tests/science-ci-security-test.sh as the launcher and
scripts/tests/science-ci-security-test.rb as the assertion file containing the
SSH and Hypatia checks.

In `@scripts/check-descriptile-policy.sh`:
- Line 12: Update the detection logic on line 12 to match only actual executed
file-existence tests, excluding quoted descriptive text such as echo statements
containing “test -f” or the retired path. Preserve detection of genuine -f, -e,
and check_file usage, and add a negative test covering the quoted-example case.

In `@tools/policy/check-workflows-parse.sh`:
- Line 55: Update the yq branch of has_no_jobs to require that .jobs is a
mapping while still accepting null or an empty mapping; reject scalar and
non-empty sequence values, and add fixtures covering those cases.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Detect retired paths split across shell quoting.

The scanner misses test -f ".machine_readable"/STATE.a2ml. Shell concatenates these fragments into the retired path, but lines 21-23 discard the quoted prefix because it is not a complete path. Normalise literal fragments within a shell word, or use a shell-aware parser. Add prefix- and suffix-quoted regression cases.

The SSH mirror work looks good, but there are still two security blockers before I would approve.

First, "hypatia-scan-reusable.yml" still resolves moving Hypatia HEAD on every run and then builds/executes that code with "HYPATIA_SCAN_PAT" or "GITHUB_TOKEN". Checking that the fetched SHA equals the SHA resolved earlier in the same run fixes cache/TOCTOU consistency, but it does not establish trusted provenance: a caller pinned to Standards revision X will execute a new Hypatia revision whenever upstream HEAD advances. Please use a reviewed immutable Hypatia commit, with an explicit bump/review process, as the baseline-validation path already does.

Second, the immutable-helper repair in "governance-reusable.yml" is incomplete. There are still several "standards@main" checkouts whose scripts are subsequently executed, not just the pin-existence gate identified by CodeRabbit. This includes the trusted-base and licence-consistency checks and other shared-script jobs. A pinned reusable workflow therefore still does not imply pinned implementation code; some of these checkouts also retain checkout credentials. Please move executable Standards helper checkouts to the reviewed helper revision consistently.

The current "check-descriptile-policy.sh" quoted-fragment bypass is also valid: shell concatenation such as "".machine_readable"/STATE.a2ml" executes as the retired path but escapes the scanner. Please add prefix/suffix quoted regression cases and fix the normalisation. Since that helper is pinned to "874ffe…", remember to advance the helper pin after fixing it.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Require all artefact paths to be different.

Line 80 checks only input against output. If audit_path equals output, Line 83 overwrites the reconciled SARIF. If audit_path equals input, it destroys the original SARIF.

Validate all three paths before any write. Add regression cases for both collisions.

Proposed fix
-    raise 'Keep the original SARIF as a separate artifact' if File.expand_path(input) == File.expand_path(output)
+    artifact_paths = [input, output, audit_path].map { |path| File.expand_path(path) }
+    raise 'Input, output, and audit paths must be different' unless artifact_paths.uniq.length == artifact_paths.length

‼️ 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.

Suggested change
raise 'Keep the original SARIF as a separate artifact' if File.expand_path(input) == File.expand_path(output)

237-239: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Align the baseline schema with these severity aliases.

rank() now maps warn to rank 3 and informational to rank 1. However, .machine_readable/hypatia-baseline.schema.json still permits only critical, high, medium, low, and info. A baseline entry cannot represent a warn or informational finding under that contract, so this change does not make those severities acknowledgeable by a baseline. Add the aliases to the schema and its contract tests, or canonicalise them before schema validation and exact matching.

127-132: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Allow an empty Hypatia findings array. Hypatia.CLI.run_scan/2 treats zero findings as success, and its JSON formatter serialises the empty list as []. The length > 0 predicate therefore rejects a valid clean scan and exits the validation step with status 2. Remove length > 0; the scanner's exit status already reports scan errors.

66-66: Keep the action-lock extension immutable before uploading reconciled SARIF.

Both reconciliation steps still install github/gh-actions-lock with --pin v0.1.6. A mutable tag can execute unreviewed extension code with GH_TOKEN and modify results.reconciled.sarif before these upload steps publish it. Replace the tag with an immutable commit SHA or a checksum-verified release asset in both jobs. This repeats the existing finding for Lines 62-64 and 163-165.

Change the annotation to # v4.38.0.

The repository contract requires each immutable action pin to identify its exact release. This SHA resolves to CodeQL Action v4.38.0, matching the annotation on line 167. The stale annotation does not change runtime behaviour, but it violates the repository contract.

In @.github/workflows/scorecard-reusable.yml at line 66, Update the annotation
on the pinned github/codeql-action/upload-sarif step to identify the exact
release as v4.38.0, matching the existing annotation elsewhere; leave the
immutable SHA and workflow behavior unchanged.
