Motivation

main is red. Validate Main has been failing since #3533 merged, and it fails on every push until this lands.

#3533 made the signing-revision report require that the CI credential can list current GHCR package versions for every consumer, and fail the run when it cannot. The credential can list our public packages but not every private one, so ascoachingogvaner comes back UNRESOLVED and the job fails — for a credential-scope reason that has nothing to do with what the report actually checks.

The consumer it fails on is healthy. Flux is resolving that exact package in prod right now, so the new check is a false negative rather than a defect it caught.

This is the report's own stated anti-goal: a control that goes red for reasons unrelated to what it checks is one people learn to ignore.

What

Reverts #3533, restoring the three files byte-identically to the commit on which Validate Main last ran green. The 22-case test suite passes.

The hardening in #3533 is worth having — it is not wrong, it just needs a credential that can read every consumer's package metadata. Re-landing it is tracked separately, and that needs a maintainer decision on the credential.

Note for re-land: Validate Main only runs on pushes to main, so a change to it cannot be exercised by its own PR checks. That is why this reached main green.

Reverts #3533. That change made the signing-revision report require that the
CI credential can LIST current GHCR package versions for every consumer, and
fail closed when it cannot. The credential can list the public packages but
not every private one, so `ascoachingogvaner` reports UNRESOLVED and the job
fails -- on main, for a credential-scope reason unrelated to what the report
checks.

The consumer it fails on is demonstrably healthy: Flux resolves
oci://ghcr.io/devantler-tech/ascoachingogvaner/manifests at tag 1.13.4 in prod
right now (Ready=True, artifact 1.13.4@sha256:ec90c928...). So the new check is
a false negative, not a caught defect.

This restores the three files byte-identically to 77bc673, the commit on which
Validate Main last ran green.

Readiness record — head 2149376857a1c349594c6491cbd7c346582739a8

1. Programmatically tested. Full CI on this head: 18 pass, 0 fail, 7 skipped. The reverted script's own suite passes locally: scripts/tests/test-publish-workflow-signing-revisions.sh → PASS (22 cases).

The stronger proof is identity rather than argument. This head restores all three files byte-identically to 77bc673782dc1f184b7bcabcb0b69967f0d1e0d6:

git diff 3f05dc5e^ -- .github/workflows/validate-main.yaml \
  scripts/report-publish-workflow-signing-revisions.sh \
  scripts/tests/test-publish-workflow-signing-revisions.sh
# (no output)

Validate Main ran green on that exact commit at 18:16:17Z (run 33666177186), so this is not a reasoned claim that the revert works — it is the same bytes as a commit with a recorded green run of the very workflow that is now red.

2. Reviewed. CodeRabbit requested at this head; promotion waits on a current-head green.

3. Tried and evaluated as a user. The user-facing question is whether the check #3533 added was catching a real problem or producing a false negative. I checked the consumer it fails on against the live cluster:

OCIRepository ascoachingogvaner  Ready=True
  stored artifact for digest '1.13.4@sha256:ec90c928fac3c0fbdbe4b534d58d1c95c1d563018d0a8931950018351e79e0f9'

Flux is resolving that exact package and tag in production right now. The artifact the check declared unverifiable demonstrably exists and is being served, so the failure was about what the CI credential can list, not about whether the deployment is sound. Reverting restores a report that answers the question it is actually for.

Judged as its user: a signing-revision report that goes red because it cannot read package metadata is the failure mode the script's own header names — a control that goes red for reasons unrelated to what it checks is one people learn to ignore. #3539 tracks re-landing the hardening once the credential question is settled.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The signing-revision report no longer reads GHCR package metadata or compares registry tags. The workflow removes the job’s packages: read permission. The test stub no longer serves registry metadata, registry-specific cases are removed, and the test count changes to 22. The build-metadata-only case accepts refusal by release name.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 21493

This change restores the failing validation workflow and reduces CI permissions, but it can treat deleted package versions as publishable and weaken the accuracy of trusted-signer reporting. The bounded risk is suitable for merge with owner awareness and follow-up to restore registry verification with correctly scoped credentials.

Understood, and agreed — closing was right. The access grant fixes it at the layer that actually owns the problem, which is the one I could not touch from here.

Confirmed green: re-ran Validate Main on 3f05dc5ef2 and 🔐 Validate Shared Publish Workflow Pins now passes, so main is no longer red and #3533 stays as written.

I have narrowed #3539 to the one thing the grant does not address: validate-main.yaml runs on: push to main, so a change to one of its jobs cannot be exercised by its own PR — #3533 was green on checks that never ran the job it changed. That will be true of the next change to it too.
