…es (refs #144) Plan covers Phase 6 of the CI Claude Runtime epic (#130, milestone #7): - Task 6.1: STAGE 5 promote job (atomic per-overlay digest substitution; 7 occurrences across 5 reusable workflow files; concurrency-guarded) - Task 6.3: runtime-rollback.yml (workflow_dispatch + target_pubsha; pre-PR validation chain — pubsha-revision-label assertion, inventory-match, overlay-smoke; Option A authorization model documented) - Task 6.5: runtime-check-private-freshness.yml (Mondays cron, path-scoped denominator per spec §13 Q7; heartbeat infra deferred to #204 with hard SLA) - Task 6.6: runtime-prune-pending.yml (daily cron, schedule-source branching + dry_run input normalization) - Task 6.7: §13 Q5 marketplace SHA cadence — split into standalone spec PR + Phase 6 manifest comment referencing it - Task 6.8: §13 Q4 forked-PR auth deferral text in Phase 6 PR body - Task 6.9: post-merge rollback rehearsal (happy path + broken-target path) - Task 6.10: PR opening with Closes #144 Plan went through baseline refresh (post-#143/#200/#202/v2.2.0) plus two inquisitor passes: - Pass 1 (6 charges, 5 folded, 1 deferred to #203 Option C auto-merge) - Pass 2 (5 charges, 5 folded — including 2 Critical regressions introduced by Pass 1 fixes that Pass 2 caught: bogus dev.glitchwerks.ci.pubsha label + GHA expression || semantics) Plan refresh log at end of file documents every shift since 2026-05-02. Follow-up issues filed: - #203 — Option C auto-merge with quality-gate self-validation - #204 — heartbeat infra for runtime-check-private-freshness.yml (blocks Phase 7) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per spec §6.2 STAGE 5 + §9.3. After STAGE 4 succeeds (base + all 3 overlays smoke green), opens a single PR rewriting all 7 @sha256: occurrences across 5 reusable workflows in one commit. - Per-overlay-name regex substitution (review/fix/explain digests cannot cross-contaminate); count-asserted at exactly 7 - PR body lists OCI labels (private_sha, marketplace_sha, cli_version) for each promoted image, plus rollback instructions - peter-evans/create-pull-request@5f6978fa SHA-pinned (v8.1.1) - actions/create-github-app-token@1b10c78c SHA-pinned (v3.1.1) - App-token authenticated so the PR shows under bot identity and re-triggers downstream consumer workflows when merged - Concurrency group serializes promotes (cancel-in-progress: false) - if: github.event_name != 'pull_request' so PR validation never cascades into a promote Also adds STAGE 4 label-shape assertion (smoke-test.sh §d.4): the revision label must be 40-hex, catching a future Dockerfile refactor that sets the label to something truthy-but-malformed (which would poison runtime-rollback.yml's digest resolution).

Diagnostic addition to surface the App's slug, name, and permission grants when run. Needed to confirm whether the App has the 'workflows' permission, which STAGE 5 (and Task 6.3 runtime-rollback.yml) require to push edits to .github/workflows/**. Background: STAGE 5 dry-run (run 25410793517) failed at the final push with "refusing to allow a GitHub App to create or update workflow ... without 'workflows' permission". This step makes the gap visible so the operator can grant the missing scope or pivot auth. Refs #144 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…144) Per spec §9.3 + Phase 6 plan Task 6.3. workflow_dispatch with target_pubsha input opens a PR reverting all 7 @sha256: references to the digest set tagged :<target_pubsha> in GHCR. Mirrors STAGE 5's PR mechanism in reverse; merging the PR is the rollback. Path: lives at .github/workflows/runtime-rollback.yml (master plan said runtime/rollback.yml, but GitHub Actions only auto-discovers workflows under .github/workflows/). Documented as a path deviation in the Phase 6 plan and PR body. Authorization model (plan §"Authorization model — Option A"): 1. workflow_dispatch permission gates invocation 2. OCI org.opencontainers.image.revision label assertion (Step 6.3.5a) — refuses to roll back if a :<pubsha> tag has been retagged 3. inventory-match + smoke validation against target digests (Steps 6.3.5b/c) — same battery STAGE 4 runs at build time 4. Human merge approval (final gate) Validations before opening the PR: - target_pubsha shape: 40-char hex - GHCR :<pubsha> tag exists for all 3 overlays - org.opencontainers.image.revision label on resolved digest == target - expected.yaml inventory contract satisfied - smoke-test.sh passes (CLI binary works, persona files mounted, etc.) - sed substitution lands exactly 7 occurrences (assertion in workflow) dry_run normalization (Step 6.3.6b, inquisitor pass 2 charge 3 fix): GHA `false || 'true'` evaluates to the string 'true' in expression context — would silently invert operator intent. Raw input is read through env and normalized to a literal true/false in a shell step before passing to peter-evans/create-pull-request's draft input. Action SHAs (resolved at PE-1/PE-2): - peter-evans/create-pull-request@5f6978fa (v8.1.1) - actions/create-github-app-token@1b10c78c (v3.1.1) Note (#206): smoke-test step requires CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN secret; already in scope on this repo. Step 6.3.5b/c require runner UID and yq (installed inline; same pattern STAGE 4-overlay uses). Refs #144 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Two real bugs in the subagent-authored workflows: 1. runtime-check-private-freshness.yml issue body: the heredoc had 10 spaces of indent on every line, which Markdown renders as indented code blocks. The table headers, bullet lists, and remediation steps would all render as code instead of formatted content. Switched to printf with explicit '\n' — whitespace-precise. 2. runtime-check-private-freshness.yml labels: used 'runtime' and 'stale-private-ref' which don't exist in this repo's label set (verified 2026-05-05; same lookup that informed #205/#206). gh issue create would have failed at runtime with 'label not found'. Switched to the existing set: ci, infrastructure, epic-130. 3. runtime-prune-pending.yml: the subagent invented a behavior the plan didn't ask for — 'Schedule trigger always runs live, overrides dry_run'. For first-time deployment with zero production-test data on the protection-invariant filter, scheduled live deletes are too risky vs. scheduled report-only. Both triggers now honor dry_run with default 'true'. After several clean weekly dry-run reports prove the filter correct, revisit this default in a follow-up — tracked informally.

Claude finished @cbeaulieu-gt's task in 4m 48s —— View job PR Review: Phase 6 Promotion/Rollback Automation ✅I've completed a comprehensive review of the Phase 6 changes. This is an ambitious and well-structured PR that adds critical lifecycle automation. The code quality is generally excellent with thoughtful error handling and validation. However, I've identified several security and reliability concerns that should be addressed before merge. 🔴 Critical Issues1. Unverified Binary Download (Security)File: The sudo curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/yq \
https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/download/v4.44.3/yq_linux_amd64
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/yqRisk: A compromised GitHub account or MitM attack could serve a malicious binary. This workflow has access to App tokens for the private Recommendation: Add SHA256 verification: YQ_SHA256="e28e61a33d96d3e06346dd7d37a1f5e6c3bd3dc7c642d8fbb641574da33ec817" # v4.44.3
sudo curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/yq \
https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/download/v4.44.3/yq_linux_amd64
echo "${YQ_SHA256} /usr/local/bin/yq" | sha256sum -c -
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/yqThe same pattern appears in 🟡 High-Priority Issues2. Potential Token Leakage in Error MessagesFile: : "${APP_TOKEN:?App token not set — check APP_ID/APP_PRIVATE_KEY secrets and #206 install status}"The Recommendation: Use explicit conditional: if [ -z "${APP_TOKEN:-}" ]; then
echo "::error::App token not set — check APP_ID/APP_PRIVATE_KEY secrets and #206 install status"
exit 1
fi3. Hardcoded Branch Name in Diagnostic ProbeFile: The probe workflow writes to -f branch="phase-6-promotion"Issue: This will fail when run on any other branch, and the diagnostic will incorrectly report missing permissions. Recommendation: Use 4. Missing Upper Bound on Prune DeletionsFile: The deletion loop has no safety limit: jq -r '.[].id' /tmp/candidates.json | while read -r vid; do
gh api -X DELETE \
"/orgs/glitchwerks/packages/container/${{ matrix.package }}/versions/$vid"
doneRisk: If the jq filter malfunctions (e.g., negation logic inverts), it could delete all versions including promoted ones. While the 40-hex protection is correctly implemented, defense-in-depth suggests adding a sanity check. Recommendation: Add a count threshold: count=$(jq 'length' /tmp/candidates.json)
if [ "$count" -gt 50 ]; then
echo "::error::Prune candidate count ($count) exceeds safety threshold (50) — refusing to delete"
exit 1
fi🟢 Medium-Priority / Code Quality5. Typo in Rollback PR BodyFile: - [ ] Confirm the rollback target predates a known regression and the 'differen-eyes' invariants are not weakened by reverting.Should be: 6. No Automated Verification of Rollback Target ProvenanceFile: The rollback workflow asks reviewers to manually verify the target pubsha appears in promotion history: - [ ] Confirm `${TARGET}` appears in `git log --grep='auto/runtime-promote-' main`Observation: This could be automated as a validation step before opening the PR. The workflow already has checkout access and could run: if ! git log --grep="auto/runtime-promote-${TARGET}" main --format=%H | grep -q "$TARGET"; then
echo "::error::target_pubsha $TARGET does not appear in promotion history"
exit 1
fiTrade-off: The manual review provides a human gate, but automation would catch operator error (e.g., typo'd pubsha) earlier. 7. Negative Time Gap Not HandledFile: DAYS_GAP=$(( ( $(date -d "$MAIN_DATE" +%s) - $(date -d "$PINNED_DATE" +%s) ) / 86400 ))If Recommendation: Add a sanity check: if [ "$DAYS_GAP" -lt 0 ]; then
echo "::warning::Pinned ref ($PINNED_DATE) is NEWER than main ($MAIN_DATE) — possible force-push in private repo"
exit 0
fi8. Concurrent Promote PRsFile: concurrency:
group: stage-5-promote
cancel-in-progress: falseObservation: The concurrency group serializes promote jobs, but if two commits land on main in rapid succession, the second promote PR will open against the first's PR branch (not yet merged), leading to a conflict or double-promotion. Current behavior: The second promote will likely fail when it tries to create a PR with the same branch name, or succeed with a no-op diff if the first PR already merged. Assessment: Acceptable for current usage, but worth monitoring. If this becomes a problem, the promote could check for an existing open ✅ Strengths

🎯 RecommendationMerge after addressing Critical (#1) and High-Priority (#2, #3, #4) issues. The medium-priority items can be addressed in follow-up PRs if time is constrained, though #5 (typo) is trivial to fix now. The code quality and architectural decisions are excellent. The security issues are fixable with small, localized changes. Once those are resolved, this PR will be a robust foundation for Phase 6. Summary of Required Changes
Total estimated time to address blocking issues: ~25 minutes Review CompleteI've thoroughly reviewed all 8 files (2342 additions, 0 deletions) across code quality, security, performance, test coverage, and documentation dimensions.

CI's raven-actions/actionlint@v2 runs shellcheck at -S style (stricter than my local default) and surfaced 20 errors my local actionlint missed. Combined with the bot's PR review (1 Critical + 3 High + advisory items), this fixup addresses everything blocking the merge. Actionlint fixes: - runtime-build.yml SC2126: grep | wc -l → grep -cE | awk -F: sum (multi-file grep -c outputs file:count, must sum) - runtime-rollback.yml SC2018/2019 (×5): tr a-z A-Z → tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' - runtime-rollback.yml SC2126: same grep -c+awk pattern - runtime-check-private-freshness.yml SC2129: combine 4 echo>>$GITHUB_ENV redirects into a single brace block (×2 places) - runtime-check-private-freshness.yml SC2016: relocated `# shellcheck disable` inside the bash script body (was on outer YAML, not seen by shellcheck) Bot review #209: - Critical #1: yq SHA256 verification on runtime-rollback.yml + runtime-check- private-freshness.yml.

Two follow-up fixes after CI revealed: 1. SC2016 (9 errors) wasn't silenced by file-top disable directive. The directive applies file-wide ONLY when shellcheck recognizes the script as a 'file'; CI's raven-actions/actionlint passes each run-block as isolated content. Solution: put the disable directly above the brace block (compound command) and the COMMIT_LOG/PATH_LIST commands — shellcheck applies the disable to the whole compound command. The backticks in printf format strings are intentional Markdown syntax, not command substitution. 2. The #6 promote-history check grepped for 'auto/runtime-promote-<TARGET>' which only exists as a branch name, not in any commit message — the check would have failed every time. Squash-merged STAGE 5 PRs produce commits with the PR title as subject: 'promote: runtime images @<sha>'. Fixed grep pattern + switched to origin/main since 'main' alone may not be available in shallow checkouts. Refs #144, #209

…nt (closes #184) The GitHub REST API's /issues/{n}/comments endpoint does NOT support sort/direction query params — those are silently ignored and results come back in created_at ASC order. The action's previous logic: gh api ".../comments?sort=updated&direction=desc" --jq '... | first | ...' picked the OLDEST bot comment, not the latest. On any PR with >1 bot review (every PR with a fixup), the gate would grep stale review text and fire false-positive failures (or miss real findings). Fix: drop the bogus sort params (the API ignores them anyway) and sort in jq: --jq 'map(...) | sort_by(.updated_at) | last | .body // ""' This was demonstrated empirically on PR #209 round 3: - API returns oldest first regardless of sort=updated&direction=desc - 'first' picked the round-1 review with `Critical Issue #1` headers in the 'Issues Addressed' section (those are described fixes, not findings — but the gate's grep can't tell the difference) - Latest review (the 'Excellent Fixup' approval) had 0 markers Note (dogfooding limitation): claude-pr-review.yml references pr-review@v2, not the local branch, so this fix only takes effect after #209 merges and v2 is retagged. PR #209's own quality-gate remains red until then; admin-merge with reference to #184. Closes #184 Refs #144, #209 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The fix is correct, well-documented, and addresses a real bug. What ChangedThe code that fetches the latest bot comment for quality-gate severity scanning was relying on GitHub API query parameters ( Before (broken): BODY=$(gh api "repos/$REPO/issues/$PR_NUMBER/comments?per_page=100&sort=updated&direction=desc" \
--jq 'map(select(.user.login == "github-actions[bot]")) | first | .body // ""' \After (correct): BODY=$(gh api "repos/$REPO/issues/$PR_NUMBER/comments?per_page=100" \

📊 ObservationsPagination Trade-Off (Acceptable)The comment notes: "100 comments is enough for any realistic PR; if a PR ever exceeds, the gate misses newer pages." Assessment: This is a reasonable pragmatic trade-off:
If this becomes a problem in practice, it can be addressed with pagination logic later. For now, this is the right balance of simplicity vs. completeness. 🎯 RecommendationApprove and merge. This fix:

Summary
Phase 6 of the CI Claude Runtime epic (#130, milestone "Containerized Claude Code CI runtime"). Adds promotion automation, rollback workflow, drift alarm, and orphan-tag pruning so the runtime image set has a complete lifecycle: build → promote → rollback → cleanup, with both proactive (freshness) and reactive (rollback) safety paths.
This PR builds on Phase 5 (#188) which shipped digest-pinned consumer workflows; Phase 6 makes the digest-pin lifecycle automatic + auditable.
Closes #144

GitHub Actions only auto-discovers workflows under.github/workflows/— those master-plan paths would not have been triggerable. This PR puts all three under.github/workflows/with theruntime-prefix to make the relationship visually obvious. Symlinks were considered and rejected (Windows checkout inconsistency underactions/checkout@v5).

The original Phase 6 plan expected the bad-pubsha rejection to fire at the "Resolve target digests" step (GHCR-side, where the tag wouldn't exist). After the #209 review #6 promote-history grep landed, that check now fires earlier in the workflow — so

This is the correct behaviour: defense-in-depth ordering means the cheapest, most-deterministic check runs first. No PR opened, no GHCR mutation attempted, exit code 1 at the expected step.
Findings landed as durable artifacts
