wire reusable_workflow_sha_bump_needs_propagation rule: rule exists, registry+dispatch wiring missing #421

State

Per session investigation 2026-06-02:

Hypatia (this repo) — detection module EXISTS but is UNREGISTERED:

Gitbot-fleet — actuation script EXISTS but is UNWIRED:

  • scripts/propagate-sha-bump.sh (consumes finding rule reusable_workflow_sha_bump_needs_propagation)
  • tests/propagate-sha-bump-smoke.sh exists
  • scripts/dispatch-runner.sh does NOT route this recipe_id to the script
  • So even if hypatia fired a finding, the dispatcher would default to writing it to findings/pending/ for rhodibot pickup — and rhodibot doesn't know to call this specific actuator

Net effect: 2026-06-02 session needed manual SHA pin bumps in 4 repos (conative-gating, http-capability-gateway, hybrid-automation-router, burble) for standards reusables — work that should have auto-propagated when standards updated fc7abf5. The 3-system propagation architecture is half-built.

What's needed

  1. Hypatia side — register the rule in the rule engine so it fires on PR-merge events. Likely changes lib/rules.ex (or wherever the rule list lives). One-line module add + smoke test.
  2. Gitbot-fleet side — add a routing branch in dispatch-runner.sh that detects recipe_id = reusable_workflow_sha_bump_needs_propagation and calls scripts/propagate-sha-bump.sh. Or register it in fix-script-registry.json under by_recipe.
  3. End-to-end test — manual trigger of a standards reusable bump should result in propagation PRs in consumer repos within (say) 1 hour.

Why the gap matters

Estate has ~290 repos. Every standards reusable change requires manual fan-out today. The architecture was designed to remove that. Wiring is the unblock.

Reference

  • This issue: hypatia#XXX (auto-generated)
  • Sister issue (to file): gitbot-fleet — propagate-sha-bump.sh not in dispatch routing
  • Source incident: 2026-06-02 session — see hyperpolymath/.claude memory feedback_scorecard_startup_failure_2026_06_02_park.md + the SHA-pin bump commits in the 4 repos above.

Scope note (no auto-licence-edits guardrail)

The actuation script already pre-filters by feedback_pr_sweep_title_keyword_exclusion — title containing license|SPDX|PMPL|MPL|AGPL|GPL|Apache|copyright|attribution|relicens|secret|vulnerab|CVE- is rejected before propagation. That guardrail is good as-is; this issue does NOT propose changes to the licence-edit refusal path.
