What this is

A shadow-mode Buildkite port of api-spec's two required GitHub status checks, on the
fpc-isolated queue. Every step runs in its own disposable, isolated guest. Nothing under
.github/ changes
, and branch protection's required contexts are untouched. The GH checks
stay the required checks; Buildkite statuses are purely informational until an operator decides
otherwise. Draft only — do not merge.

What it reproduces (.buildkite/)

step key script shadows required context secret timeout
gate-checks gate-checks.sh .github/workflows/_checks.yml job checks (secret-regex grep + an 800-line ceiling on tracked .ts/.tsx/.js/.py source files; called by foundation-gate.yml with max_lines: 800) gate / checks none 10 min
secrets-content-policy secrets-content-policy.sh .github/workflows/public-repo-guard.yml job guard (gitleaks 8.30.1, scripts/public-repo-guard/content-policy.sh, fixture self-test) Secrets + content policy none 10 min

Both required contexts resolve on Buildkite as buildkite/<pipeline-slug>/gate-checks and
buildkite/<pipeline-slug>/secrets-content-policy once the pipeline is created (slug assigned then)
and once the GitHub provider settings below are enabled — left at Buildkite's defaults, GitHub
gets one pipeline-level status, not one per step, and neither context is ever posted.

Every rule inside each step is copied byte-faithful from the GH workflow: the same secret regex
and allowlist files, the same 800-line ceiling, the same gitleaks version and the same pinned
sha256
(551f6fc8…f2470eb), the same ripgrep-with-PCRE2 fallback install (pinned sha256), and the
same content-policy.sh invocation. GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS is handled exactly as the workflow
handles it: read from the job's own environment and passed through unmodified — never set, defaulted,
or widened in this PR. An operator needs to add a matching Buildkite environment variable for parity
(see "Operator steps needed").

public-repo-guard.yml's other job (body-guard, PR/issue/comment text) and _checks.yml's other
jobs (skill-validate, verify-routes) are not required contexts and are out of scope.

Local proof (all run on this branch)

  • gate-checks.sh: passes clean on this branch. shellcheck -x clean. YAML validated with
    yaml.safe_load.
  • Planted a fake AKIA + 16-char AWS-key-shaped string and an 801-line .ts file (both git added
    so git ls-files — same as the GH workflow — would see them), ran gate-checks.sh: both gates
    failed as expected (secret-like pattern found, an over-limit line-count error on the planted
    file). Un-staged and deleted both plants; re-ran clean → pass. Nothing planted was committed.
  • Redaction (follow-up commit on this branch): gate_secret_scan no longer echoes the matched
    line into the log — only path:line with the same «match redacted» marker
    content-policy.sh uses. This deliberately diverges from _checks.yml, which does echo the raw
    match; a matched credential must never land in a build log. Proven: re-planted the AKIA value,
    captured the gate's full stdout+stderr to a file, and grepped that file for the literal value —
    confirmed absent. Plant removed again afterward.
  • secrets-content-policy.sh: the gitleaks/ripgrep pinned-download install and the checksum
    verification succeed. The Linux x86_64 gitleaks binary itself cannot execute on the arm64 macOS
    workstation used for this local proof (Exec format error) — the same documented arm64/amd64 gap
    the fleet's other shadow ports call out for their own pinned Linux tools. To prove the scan command
    itself (identical flags/config to the script), I ran it with the equivalent natively-installed
    gitleaks 8.30.1: clean on origin/main. I then planted a synthetic ghp_-shaped 36-char token
    (deliberately avoiding gitleaks' own allowlist stopwords — fake/test/dummy/etc. — so the rule was
    genuinely exercised, not allowlisted away) → leaks found: 1, exit 1. Deleted the plant, re-scanned
    clean. content-policy.sh and the body-policy.sh fixture self-test (36/36) both ran and passed
    with the current production GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS org variable.
  • New-file check (per the tightened scope for this PR): diffed content-policy.sh's full hit list
    between origin/main and this branch, using an env-var value that includes every repo named below.
    The hit list is byte-identical, 17 hits, before and after — nothing under .buildkite/ adds,
    removes, or changes a single hit. Re-confirmed after the redaction follow-up commit.

Known pre-existing content-policy gap (not introduced here, not fixed here)

content-policy.sh's private-repo rule only checks the names in GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS. The
currently-configured GH org variable lists nine product repos and does not include every
org-private repository. Two private org repo names, and one private npm-scoped package name (that
one isn't caught regardless — its leading @ defeats the rule's \b word-boundary regex, noted for
completeness, not something this PR changes), already sit in plaintext in this repo's own tracked
files. Their names are not repeated in this PR body — they are already visible at the exact
locations below, in files this public repo already ships on main.

With GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS widened to cover both of those repo names on top of the current list,
content-policy.sh blocks with exactly 17 hits on origin/main today, split across two distinct
names:

Name 1 — 9 hits: AGENTS.md:3, .github/workflows/_checks.yml:3,5,50,
.github/workflows/foundation-gate.yml:3,6, .github/workflows/issue-ops-triage.yml:15,20,
.github/workflows/published-contract-drift.yml:39.

Name 2 — 8 hits: .github/workflows/governance-enforce.yml:8,14,
.github/workflows/auto-merge.yml:4, .github/workflows/ga-evidence.yml:3,13,16,
.github/workflows/published-contract-drift.yml:20, scripts/ga/ga-evidence.mjs:11.

(Open each location to see which name recurs there — every hit is a single word-boundary match of
one of the two names, not a mix on the same line.)

This is a pre-existing gap in main, not something this PR introduces — the gap is in the org
variable's coverage, and in those files' content, not in the check's logic, which this PR reproduces
unchanged. This PR does not widen the allowlist and does not touch any of the flagged files —
that's separate, tightly-scoped follow-up work (either correct GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS, or remove/allow
these specific references). I searched open PRs (gh search prs --repo wave-av/api-spec --state open "content policy", plus the full open-PR list) and found none that touch this gap: #39 only updates
the vendored actions/checkout pin in public-repo-guard.yml; #105 only fixes an unrelated
unresolvable uses: example in _checks.yml's header comment.

Separately: GH's own required-check runs for public-repo-guard.yml on main/PRs currently complete
in ~2 seconds with zero steps executed (consistent with the org-wide GitHub Actions billing lock
already documented in this org's other ci(buildkite): shadow-port … PRs) — that history is not a
reliable signal of what the checks would actually report, which is exactly why this port exists.

Shadow mode / operator steps needed

This PR is code only. Separate, operator-gated actions still needed:

  1. Create the Buildkite pipeline (private, fork PRs off, fpc-isolated queue).
  2. Enable the GitHub per-step commit-status settings — publish_commit_status,
    publish_commit_status_per_step, and use_step_key_as_commit_status (the third requires the
    first two), per https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/source-control/github and the REST API's
    provider_settings. Without all three, GitHub only ever sees one pipeline-level status, and
    neither gate / checks' nor Secrets + content policy's Buildkite counterpart is ever posted.
  3. Add a GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS pipeline/org env var matching GH's.
  4. Watch both steps for a soak period (note secrets-content-policy will report the gap above once
    GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS is corrected for parity — expected, not a regression).
  5. Only then, separately, consider any change to main's required status checks.

Add .buildkite/pipeline.yml, .buildkite/README.md,
.buildkite/scripts/gate-checks.sh, .buildkite/scripts/secrets-content-policy.sh
and .buildkite/scripts/lib/common.sh: a shadow-mode Buildkite pipeline on the
fpc-isolated queue that reproduces api-spec's two REQUIRED GitHub status
checks byte-faithfully --

- "gate / checks" (.github/workflows/_checks.yml job `checks`: the
  secret-regex grep + the 800-line file-size gate), step key `gate-checks`.
- "Secrets + content policy" (.github/workflows/public-repo-guard.yml job
  `guard`: gitleaks 8.30.1 with the same pinned sha256, plus
  scripts/public-repo-guard/content-policy.sh and its fixture self-test),
  step key `secrets-content-policy`.

No file under .github/workflows/ changes. Branch protection's required
contexts are untouched. Draft PR; shadow mode only.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .buildkite/scripts/gate-checks.sh: Adds script setup that sources lib/common.sh, changes to BK_REPO_ROOT, runs bk_preflight, and defaults MAX to 800.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .buildkite/scripts/gate-checks.sh: Adds gate_secret_scan, which searches for the listed secret patterns while excluding .git, node_modules, and dist, removes matches marked allowlist secret and entries listed in .github/.secret-allowlist, and fails if any hits remain. On failure it prints an error and path-and-line locations with matched content redacted; otherwise it reports a clean scan.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .buildkite/scripts/gate-checks.sh: Adds gate_file_size, which checks tracked .ts, .tsx, .js, and .py files except .types.ts and .d.ts, skips .github/.filesize-allowlist entries, and fails if any checked file exceeds MAX lines.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .buildkite/scripts/gate-checks.sh: Invokes both gates through bk_gate, then calls bk_gates_summary.

… settings

.buildkite/scripts/gate-checks.sh: gate_secret_scan no longer echoes the
matched line into the build log. It now prints only "path:line" with the
same "«match redacted»" marker scripts/public-repo-guard/content-policy.sh
already uses. The detection regex, --exclude-dir list and allowlist files
are unchanged. This is a deliberate divergence from
.github/workflows/_checks.yml, which does echo the full match; documented
in the script header and in .buildkite/README.md. Proven locally: a planted
AKIA-prefixed test value fails the gate, and the captured stdout+stderr was
grepped for the literal value afterward -- confirmed absent. Plant removed,
nothing committed.

.buildkite/README.md: document that GitHub only posts the two required
per-step contexts ("gate / checks", "Secrets + content policy") once the
pipeline's GitHub provider settings enable publish_commit_status,
publish_commit_status_per_step and use_step_key_as_commit_status (in that
order; the third requires the first two) -- verified against
https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/source-control/github and the REST API
provider_settings field descriptions. Added as an explicit operator step.

Comment thread .buildkite/README.md Resolved
secrets-content-policy.sh's gitleaks install step has no `command -v`
bypass and always downloads the pinned linux-x64 tarball, then puts
TOOLS_DIR first on PATH -- so a native gitleaks on PATH is shadowed,
not used. Only the ripgrep install step actually checks `command -v
rg` first. Update the "Guest-image prerequisites" egress note and the
"Run locally" section to say so, and scope the full-script local run
to linux x86_64 instead of claiming macOS parity.

…tent-policy step

Jake created a Buildkite cluster secret named GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS in org
`wave` (cluster "WAVE self-hosted CI"). Declare it on the
secrets-content-policy step via the step-level `secrets:` attribute
(per Buildkite docs: buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/security/secrets/buildkite-secrets),
which exports it as the GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS env var for that step only and
is redacted from build logs if ever printed. Update the README operator
checklist to describe the cluster secret instead of an agent/job env
export. No script changes: content-policy.sh already treats a missing
value as "skip the private-repo-name rule" and never echoes it.

…ret wiring

CodeRabbit re-review on the prior commit raised three valid points, verified
against Buildkite's agent source (FetchSecrets in internal/secrets/secret.go)
and docs (buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/security/secrets/buildkite-secrets):

1. Pipeline-YAML `secrets:` requires Buildkite Agent v3.106.0+. Document that
   minimum for every fpc-isolated agent in the operator prerequisites.
2. A missing (never-created) cluster secret is not equivalent to "unset" --
   the agent fetches every declared `secrets:` key before the job's command
   runs, and a missing key fails the job at startup before
   secrets-content-policy.sh ever executes its own unset->skip fallback.
   Corrected README wording that implied "leave it unset" was safe; the
   cluster secret must exist (empty string is fine) for the GH-equivalent
   skip behavior.
3. Same-repo (non-fork) PR builds do receive this secret, since only fork PRs
   are excluded from running at all. Documented this explicitly as the
   existing, accepted trust boundary (same as every other step on this
   queue, and no worse than the plain unmasked GH Actions variable this
   value already is upstream) rather than redesigning the pipeline to
   withhold the secret from PR builds -- which would defeat this step's
   purpose of scanning each PR's own content, including PRs that touch the
   step itself.

Also fixed the "needs secret: none" table row (and api-spec's stale "no
secrets" guest-image bullet) to reflect GUARD_PRIVATE_REPOS now that the prior
commit wired it in.
