Summary

This repairs the publication path for SecurePatch Bench v0.1.0 without changing the benchmark scenarios or oracle results.

Changes

  • connects the README and citation metadata to the Pcnaid research publication page;
  • adds a dedicated technical-report index and release notes;
  • records the September 4, 2026 public-release date;
  • clarifies that v0.1 validates the benchmark oracles and contains no language-model performance results;
  • adds an automated release workflow that re-runs npm run ci, renders the canonical Markdown report to PDF, creates the immutable v0.1.0 tag, and attaches the PDF to the GitHub release.

Safety and claims boundary

The release remains synthetic, defensive, and limited to benchmark-oracle validation. It does not claim peer review, real-world vulnerability prevalence, or model performance.

Validation

GitHub CI must pass before merge. After the main-branch CI run succeeds, the release workflow will create the v0.1.0 release and PDF asset.

In @.github/workflows/release-v0.1.0.yml:
- Line 21: Update the release workflow’s external dependencies by replacing the
mutable actions/checkout@v4 reference with a reviewed full commit SHA and
pinning the pandoc/latex:3.6 container image to a reviewed immutable digest,
while preserving the existing workflow behavior.
- Around line 14-16: Update the workflow condition guarding checkout and release
execution to require workflow_run.event == 'push' and
workflow_run.head_repository.full_name == github.repository, in addition to the
existing successful main-branch check; preserve the workflow_dispatch path while
ensuring untrusted fork pull-request runs cannot reach head_sha checkout or
contents: write operations.
- Around line 9-10: Restrict the validation/build job to read-only permissions
instead of granting contents: write. Update the workflow so it uploads the
generated PDF as an artifact, then add a separate release job that downloads the
artifact and is the only job granted contents: write for publishing.
- Around line 26-29: Add a Node.js 22 setup step using the workflow’s existing
action conventions before the “Re-run benchmark validation” step executes npm ci
and npm run ci, ensuring release validation uses the same pinned runtime as CI.
- Line 7: Restrict manual publication in the release workflow by removing
workflow_dispatch or gating it to refs/heads/main and validating github.sha
against the successful CI run before publishing; do not allow arbitrary selected
branches or tags to release v0.1.0.
- Around line 56-59: Add workflow-level concurrency serialization for the v0.1.0
publication workflow, using a stable concurrency group and setting
cancel-in-progress to false. Keep the existing release-existence check and
publication steps unchanged so eligible runs queue rather than concurrently
pushing the tag or creating the release.
- Around line 64-67: Update the v0.1.0 tag handling around the git rev-parse
check to compare refs/tags/v0.1.0^{} with the intended commit SHA from
github.event.workflow_run.head_sha or github.sha. Fail the workflow when the
existing tag resolves to a different commit; only create and push the tag when
it does not exist, then preserve the release creation flow.
- Around line 33-35: Update the release workflow’s checkout configuration to set
persist-credentials to false, and change the PDF container invocation to mount
only the paper directory rather than the full authenticated workspace. Keep Git
authentication limited to the later release step if required for tag pushing.

In `@RELEASE_NOTES_v0.1.0.md`:
- Line 27: Standardize the publication-status label to the canonical
capitalization in RELEASE_NOTES_v0.1.0.md lines 27-27 and paper/README.md lines
5-5, changing “not peer reviewed” to “Not Peer Reviewed” at both sites.

GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch manual runs select branch or tag github.sha github.ref documentation

💡 Result:

When using the workflow_dispatch trigger in GitHub Actions, you can manually run a workflow on a specific branch or tag. For a workflow to be eligible for manual triggering, the workflow file must exist on the repository's default branch [1][2]. Once this condition is met, the workflow becomes available in the GitHub Actions UI [1][3]. Selecting a Branch or Tag In the GitHub UI, after navigating to the Actions tab and selecting the desired workflow, clicking the Run workflow button will display a dropdown menu where you can select the branch or tag against which the workflow should execute [1]. When triggering workflows programmatically via the GitHub CLI (gh) or the REST API, you can specify the target using the ref parameter (e.g., --ref BRANCH or the ref body parameter in the API) [1][3]. This allows you to target any branch, tag, or specific commit SHA [2][4]. Context Variables (github.sha and github.ref) The behavior of context variables during a workflow_dispatch run is as follows: - github.ref: This contains the fully-formed reference of the branch or tag that triggered the workflow run (e.g., refs/heads/branch-name or refs/tags/tag-name) [5]. - github.sha: This represents the commit SHA that triggered the workflow [5]. For a workflow_dispatch event, this is the last commit on the branch or tag selected at the time of the dispatch [2]. Important Considerations - Initial Registration: Even if you intend to run a workflow only on a feature branch, the workflow file must first be present on the default branch to be registered by GitHub [2][6]. Many users bypass this by temporarily adding a push or pull_request trigger to their workflow, pushing it to the default branch to register it, and then removing the temporary trigger [6]. - Reusable Workflows: If your workflow is intended to be called by another workflow, it will use the workflow_call event rather than workflow_dispatch [5]. For further details on managing manual runs, see the official GitHub documentation on manually running a workflow [1].

Citations:


Restrict manual publication to the tested main commit.

workflow_dispatch accepts a selected branch or tag. The condition accepts every manual run, and actions/checkout uses the selected github.sha. A manual run can therefore publish a feature-branch commit as v0.1.0.

Require github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' and verify the commit against the successful CI run, or remove workflow_dispatch.

GitHub Actions concurrency cancel-in-progress false workflow runs documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the concurrency setting cancel-in-progress: false specifically prevents the cancellation of a currently running job or workflow when a new one in the same concurrency group is triggered [1][2]. However, it does not prevent the cancellation of queued (pending) jobs [3][1]. Key behaviors when using cancel-in-progress: false: 1. Currently Running Jobs: These are protected from being cancelled by newer runs [1][2]. The existing run will finish its execution [2]. 2. Queued (Pending) Jobs: By default, the concurrency group maintains a single slot for a pending job [4][5]. If a new run is triggered while another is already queued, the existing queued job is automatically cancelled to make room for the newer one [1][4]. 3. Queue Capacity: The behavior where queued jobs are replaced is the default (single) mode [4][5]. To allow more than one pending job to wait without being cancelled, you must configure the queue property, such as queue: max, which can hold up to 100 pending runs [4][5]. Note that queue: max cannot be combined with cancel-in-progress: true [6]. In summary, cancel-in-progress: false ensures that the "run in progress" is not interrupted, but it does not create a persistent queue of all triggered runs; it essentially maintains a "latest-only" policy for pending jobs [1][2]. If you need all triggered runs to execute, you should use a unique concurrency group (e.g., using ${{ github.sha }}) or configure queue: max [1][4].

Citations:


Serialize v0.1.0 publication attempts.

This workflow has no concurrency group. Two eligible runs can pass the release check and the runner-local tag check before either run pushes v0.1.0. One run can then fail while pushing the tag or creating the release. Add a workflow-level concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false, or implement atomic remote tag and release handling.

GitHub CLI gh release create --verify-tag documentation verifies tag target commit

💡 Result:

The --verify-tag flag for the GitHub CLI command gh release create does not verify the target commit; instead, its sole purpose is to ensure that the specified git tag already exists in the remote repository [1][2][3]. By default, if a matching git tag does not exist when running gh release create, the command will automatically create one from the latest state of the default branch [1][4]. When the --verify-tag flag is used, the GitHub CLI queries the repository's existing tags via the GitHub API before initiating the release process [3][5]. If the tag is not found in the remote repository, the command aborts and fails to create the release [1][3]. This flag serves as a safeguard to prevent the unintentional automatic creation of a tag when one is expected to be present already [3][5].

Fail when v0.1.0 targets a different commit.

If v0.1.0 exists but targets another commit, the existence check skips tag creation. gh release create --verify-tag checks only that the remote tag exists. The workflow can therefore release the PDF from the checked-out SHA under the wrong tag.

Compare git rev-parse refs/tags/v0.1.0^{} with ${{ github.event.workflow_run.head_sha || github.sha }} and fail on mismatch before creating the release.
