Why

Active documentation can silently send readers to a retired workflow repository because CI does not check those links.

What

Add the shared read-only link guard to required CI, with controls proving that retired links and incomplete scans are rejected.

Fixes #7528

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a versioned configuration for the retired devantler-tech/reusable-workflows repository, scoped to README.md and AGENTS.md with no exceptions. CI runs the retired-link validator, checks its scan output, tests refusal behavior for a seeded link and missing configuration, and includes the job result in required-check aggregation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e0701

This change adds a CI guard against links to the retired reusable-workflows repository in README.md and AGENTS.md. No remaining merge-blocking risk was found, and the author reports a passing native run at an earlier head.

Review details

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in .github/retired-repo-links.json: Added a retired-repository links configuration specifying version 1, the repository, its README.md and AGENTS.md paths, and no exceptions.
• observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/ci.yaml: Adds retired-repo-links, which requires a completed active-documentation scan and builds the pinned validator for refusal controls: a seeded retired-repository link must be reported with exit status 1, and missing configuration must be rejected with exit status 2.
• observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/ci.yaml: Adds the retired-repository-links job result to the required-check aggregation inputs.

Explanation

The configuration scopes the guard to README.md and AGENTS.md with no exceptions. The CI job runs the pinned validator, requires validated=true, checks rejection of a seeded retired link and missing configuration, and adds the job to required checks [#7528]. The available run evidence covers prior head c614872; it does not establish a successful native CI run at reviewed head e070112, and merged-main verification remains pending.

Native evaluation verified for PR head c6148724a2aaa9dc3959090027023ffab671aeb1. I read the full completed guard job in CI run 37296363371; it succeeded at 2026-10-05T10:54:04Z using validator pin bd0035dd8f41fcf1459b878882b8897443f8dc59 and Go 1.26.8.

• The clean action checked both scoped documents: 2 text files, 0 historical exceptions, 0 retired links, and 0 skipped binary files. Its validated=true output assertion passed.
• Disposable CLI fixtures copied this consumer's actual configuration, README, and AGENTS. A seeded README link to the retired devantler-tech/reusable-workflows repository required exit 1 and the exact expected README diagnostic; both assertions passed.
• Removing the configuration required exit 2 and an Invalid configuration: diagnostic. Both assertions passed, and the native CLI step printed PASS: clean scan, seeded retired link rejection, and missing configuration refusal.

The negative controls execute the released CLI; this job does not invoke separate negative action steps or test their action outputs. Merged-main verification remains pending.

Native guard evaluation for current PR head e0701127a28bd11c2ba0ba72e4b879f24ba5b8c6: I read all 480 lines of the completed guard job. It succeeded at 12:18:39 UTC using the released validator bd0035dd8f41fcf1459b878882b8897443f8dc59 and native Go 1.26.8.

• The actual enabled composite action scanned both declared documentation roots, reported zero retired links, and emitted validated=true. The explicit completion assertion passed.
• The real released CLI rejected the isolated seeded README with exit 1 and the asserted README.md:<line>: link targets retired repository devantler-tech/reusable-workflows diagnostic. Removing its configuration then produced exit 2 and the asserted Invalid configuration: diagnostic. The native control step printed its PASS result.

The checkout was synthetic merge 5de16c22bbcb644517aff4be0e91b57c33cf51d5, with API-confirmed parents d5762ca16f7d9c75856e859555056bb3a3656d02 and the current PR head. Its tree 0275892288e8c59d27fc78e702a30017f68e6c3b exactly matches the native base plus this PR's two adoption-file changes across all 2,908 tracked leaves. CI, configuration, README.md and AGENTS.md blobs equal those at the current head; the only full-tree difference from the head is the base's Dependabot configuration. These bindings used immutable API metadata and static reads; I did not check out or execute the bot-formatted head locally.

The negative controls here exercise the CLI. The missing-configuration call reuses the fixture containing the seeded README, and this run does not establish a separate clean-root missing-configuration control or negative composite-action output behavior. The earlier evaluation remains historical evidence for c6148724a2aaa9dc3959090027023ffab671aeb1.

This scoped guard success does not clear the existing managed Go CI blocker: run 37303379480 failed at the same head before analysis/upload, and the refused retry and #7131 stability gate remain outstanding. Required CI and native postmerge acceptance remain incomplete. PR #7529 stays a draft and #7528 stays open; this is not a merge-readiness or delivery-complete claim.

The previous managed-analysis blocker is cleared at exact head e880efebb7959c98607418a53d2341e81d04dc0a: managed analysis job completed successfully at 23:24:56Z. Native documentation validation and both required negative controls pass. The current-head review is green; remaining native Docker acceptance jobs are still running. This receipt clears this PR's earlier failed-head record; it does not establish the separate full managed-analysis recovery tracked in #7131.

Updated this existing draft to signed head e7c96835e88ff7562d1bd13cb49aeec1be6b8d7d by integrating current main 66ba54d8de006cac38575c3697c863f453fc0f1b without rewriting history. The final change remains the two-file guard adoption and preserves main's binary handoff, recovery, Bash 3.2 and aggregate jobs.

The current-head native guard passed: it actually scanned two text files with zero binary skips and zero retired links, emitted the enabled composite action's success output, rejected the seeded README link with the expected diagnostic, and refused missing configuration. I also rebuilt the exact released validator from authenticated pinned source and repeated those controls locally; the integrated workflow behavioral harness passed.

The installed local actionlint has one identical diagnostic on both base and head because it lacks main's existing code-quality permission; this adoption introduces no additional diagnostic. Hosted MegaLinter and the remaining current-head checks are running. Review will be requested after source CI settles; the draft is not ready yet.

Published signed head e880efe integrates delivered main 343e086 without rewriting history. The final diff remains the two-file documentation guard adoption; the current binary handoff, recovery, release and aggregate controls are preserved.

The integrated CI harness passes. I freshly downloaded and statically reviewed the exact released validator at bd0035dd8f41fcf1459b878882b8897443f8dc59, built it with Go 1.26.8 and exercised it against disposable copies of this head's configuration, README and AGENTS:

• The clean scan checked exactly two text files, with zero historical exceptions, retired links or binary skips.
• A seeded retired-repository URL in README was rejected with exit 1 and the expected path/line diagnostic.
• After restoring the clean README, missing configuration was refused with exit 2 and the expected configuration diagnostic. This is a separate clean-root control.

The local trial executes the released CLI. The current-head native composite action, its validated=true assertion, remaining native checks and substantive review remain required; this draft is not ready yet.

• CodeRabbit: KSail's authenticated refusal, updated 2026-10-08T23:11:27Z, reports all two included reviews used and the next included review in 13 minutes (23:24:27Z). This is repository-scoped unavailability; no paid overage is requested.
• Codex: the authenticated account usage-limit notice, updated 2026-10-08T17:01:34Z, was freshly read. It states no reset time; recovery requires account action. The fresh lane-health read reports no newer serving recovery.
• Cursor Bugbot: the authenticated user/team usage-limit notice, updated 2026-10-08T15:43:03Z, was freshly read. It states no reset time; recovery requires account-admin action. The fresh lane-health read reports no newer serving recovery.

I reviewed the complete two-file diff, pinned released validator implementation/action, current conversation, review objects, the complete resolved-thread surface and current-head checks. The read-only job observes both active documents, requires validated=true, executes the exact released validator for distinct retired-link and incomplete-scan refusal controls, and joins the required aggregate. Its source checkout is immutable and permissions stay read-only. The actual released CLI passes clean scan, seeded-link exit-one rejection and separately clean missing-config exit-two refusal. The prior GOWORK finding is fixed. I found no correctness or security defect. The older ancillary request for current native and merged-main verification remains an acceptance obligation: current native CI is pending, and merged-main proof can occur only after a permitted merge. This source review is not that evidence and does not declare readiness.

Ready at exact head e880efebb7959c98607418a53d2341e81d04dc0a, against current main 343e0864f1f34cbe8193b825fddf0f469e06b1ce.

Native documentation validation and its two refusal controls, the documentation build, all 27 Docker acceptance jobs, the required aggregate, and managed analysis pass. The substantive current-head local review is green, the complete thread surface has zero unresolved threads, all earlier findings are addressed, and GitHub reports CLEAN.

As a user, I ran the exact pinned released validator: both active documents pass with no repository exceptions, a seeded retired link exits one, and a separate clean missing configuration exits two. Those behavioral receipts are also present in native CI. The earlier ancillary evaluation's remaining obligation is a merged-main readback, which follows a permitted merge. The configured code-quality rule has no readable per-head result; I do not claim it verified, and the normal merge endpoint must enforce it.

Merged as 15322e40c4a494ee345e6873488208bfc4802488. I fetched main and ran the exact pinned released validator against the two active documents from that merged commit: two files checked, zero historical exceptions, zero retired links and zero skipped files. A seeded retired link still exits one; a separate clean-root missing configuration still exits two. This completes the merged-tree user evaluation requested by the earlier ancillary review. The new main CI run is queued, so this is a verified local merged-tree receipt, not a claim that post-merge hosted CI has finished.

The merged-main validator job also passed at 15322e40c4a494ee345e6873488208bfc4802488. Its real completed-scan assertion and both retired-link/incomplete-scan refusal controls executed successfully. This supplies the hosted post-merge receipt in addition to the already recorded local merged-tree user trial.
