Why

The shared publish workflows' cosign matchers are about to be narrowed from "any commit" to each consumer's approved revision pair, and nothing today checks that a narrowed matcher names the pair the generated set actually holds. A hand edit or a stale regeneration could quietly widen a matcher back, or point it at a revision nobody approved, with every existing check still green.

What

Adds a CI guard that reads the committed approved-revision set and asserts each of the four per-consumer matchers pins exactly that consumer's pair, refusing any revision outside it. It ships behind a switch that is off by default: while off, today's pattern-form matchers still pass, so the guard is live now without forcing the narrowing; once on, a matcher left on the pattern form fails. The three generic subjects are excluded by name and stay as they are. Both switch states and every refusal are covered by the accompanying test.

Fixes #3551
Part of #3308

…nerated approved-revision set

guard-publish-workflow-approved-revisions.sh reads the committed approved set and asserts that
each registered consumer's shared-publish-workflow matcher pins exactly that consumer's
(applied-signer|main-pin) pair; a revision outside the pair is refused in every mode (AC4 of
#3308). The switch APPROVED_REVISIONS_ENFORCE is off by default so the pattern form still
passes today; on, a per-consumer matcher left on the pattern form fails, which is what keeps the
narrowing from reverting. The three generic subjects are excluded by name, and any shared-workflow
subject that is neither attributed to a registered consumer nor listed fails the run.

Records are newline-delimited strings rather than associative arrays so the guard runs on the
maintainer's bash 3.2 as well as CI. The test builds a synthetic tree from the report's own
consumer list and covers both switch states, every refusal by name, the approved-set shape checks,
the scope boundary, the CI wiring, and the real tree with the switch off.

Fixes #3551
Part of #3308

Tried as a user, at 48ad7e4f. Ran the new guard for real against this repository's tree, no seams set, in both switch states:

  • Switch off (the CI default): exit 0, one ok line per registered consumer (.github, ascoachingogvaner, aws, wedding-app), each reported form=pattern (accepted while the switch is off), and the closing line naming the committed approved set.
  • Switch on (APPROVED_REVISIONS_ENFORCE=1): exit 1 on the first per-consumer matcher, naming the file and the exact (applied-signer|main-pin) pair to narrow it to — the message a maintainer would act on when the switch flips.

The test suite (scripts/tests/test-publish-workflow-approved-revisions-guard.sh) passes locally: 25 behaviour cases across both switch states, every refusal asserted by the consumer and ref it names, plus the CI-wiring and real-tree checks. Two ablations confirmed the refusals are not vacuous (a mutation that did not apply was caught and redone). Verified on macOS bash 3.2 as well as the CI bash; the guard deliberately avoids associative arrays for that reason.

…ument, and skip nested worktrees

Self-review found that matchOIDCIdentity is an OR-list: a wildcard or first-party-branch entry
beside a correct pair admitted any signer while the guard reported form=set. The guard now reads
the entry total as well as the shared-workflow count and requires both to be exactly one, and it
requires the line scan that discovered the file to agree with the OCIRepository read so a subject
in a second document cannot pass unjudged. Discovery excludes .git and .claude, because the
maintainer's checkout carries nested per-session worktrees that made the guard refuse a correct
tree. The lookup helper compares keys as strings. Tests add the wildcard-sibling, branch-sibling,
two-shared, second-document, signer==pin (accepted and refused shapes), nested-worktree,
malformed-pin, duplicate-row and eighth-field cases, and the wiring check also catches an inline
APPROVED_REVISIONS_ENFORCE=1. The k8s filter no longer routes a regenerated set through the
deploy matrix.

Self-review round, and re-tried as a user at dec2d7e5. A three-angle self-review of the first head found one real hole and one false refusal, both fixed here before any external review:

  • Hole (accepted, fixed): matchOIDCIdentity is an OR-list, so a wildcard or first-party-branch entry beside a correct pair admitted any signer while the guard reported form=set. The guard now requires exactly one identity entry as well as exactly one shared-workflow subject, and requires the line scan that discovered the file to agree with the OCIRepository read (a subject in a second --- document was likewise unjudged). Both have RED cases now.
  • False refusal (accepted, fixed): discovery descended into .claude/worktrees/… on the maintainer's checkout, reporting every generic subject a second time; .git and .claude are excluded, with a fixture that proves it.
  • Also: the signer == pin branch is now covered in both directions, three approved-set refusals gained RED cases, the wiring check catches an inline APPROVED_REVISIONS_ENFORCE=1, the lookup helper compares keys as strings, and the k8s filter no longer routes a regenerated set through the deploy matrix.
  • One finding was out of this issue's scope and is filed as security(supply-chain): require cosign verification on every devantler-tech OCIRepository, discovered by kind and URL #3558 (an OCIRepository with no verify at all is invisible to both matcher guards).

Exercised at this head: the guard exits 0 on the real tree with the switch off and refuses with the pair-naming fix with it on; run from the parent checkout carrying a nested session worktree it now passes too. Test suite: 39 cases, exit 0, on macOS bash 3.2.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a fail-closed guard for per-consumer publish workflow cosign matchers. The guard validates the approved revision set, scans OCIRepository manifests, excludes generic subjects, and checks exact revision membership. Tests cover valid and invalid matcher forms, malformed inputs, missing resources, and enforcement modes. CI runs ShellCheck, the guard, and its tests.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dec2d

The new CI guard may miss deployable OCIRepository matchers stored as .yml, potentially allowing unapproved workflow revisions. Confirm the deployment scope or cover both extensions before merging.

Learning: In `scripts/tests/test-publish-workflow-approved-revisions-guard.sh`, the fixture writers use unquoted Bash heredocs. Within these heredocs, source `\\.` emits a single literal backslash followed by a dot (`\.`) in the generated YAML regex. Do not replace these occurrences with source `\.` because that emits an unescaped dot.

Evicted from the merge queue at 20:20Z on a transient, re-queuing at the same head dec2d7e5004c6384f986feacc29aeb1521c7125d.

Root-caused from the merge-group run (33801010665) rather than assumed: 🚀 Deploy to Prod failed at the published-evidence check with ❌ SBOM attestation — no attestations found with predicate type https://cyclonedx.org/bom for the staged digest sha256:0103707c…, while the cosign signature and the provenance attestation verified. The same job's log shows 🪪 Attest SBOM had succeeded and uploaded that attestation to the registry at 20:19:47Z — the verifier read at 20:19:56Z, nine seconds later. The 🩹 Heal Prod job then re-deployed main and its evidence check passed all three, SBOM included, with the same verifier script, so the base is healthy and the verifier works; this change touches only the approved-revisions guard step and its path filters, none of the publish, attest or verify steps. That is an attestation-propagation race, not this PR.
