Summary

Two documentation corrections left after #8381, as reported in #8388. No behaviour change.

  • .github/workflows/pr-hygiene.yml header comment said trusted scripts load from the PR base revision. The checkout step below it uses the fixed ref: dev, so the header now says the scripts come from dev, never from the PR base or head. Only the comment changes.
  • devlog/_plan/261108_dev_single_branch_release/020_stale_branch_cleanup.md said the new release-evidence entry also repaired the ci.yml drift from 28b38f9150. That drift was already repaired on dev by ci: pin release evidence policy to the current ci.yml #8377 (f6506e7274), which pinned the 28b38f9150 blob 4d1d82f1. The chore: remove retired release branch references #8381 entry pins its own ci.yml revision dc5496ad. Both sentences now say so. The recorded results table is left as written, since it describes the branch at its original base.

Evidence for the second point:

$ git ls-tree 28b38f9150 .github/workflows/ci.yml
100644 blob 4d1d82f1d26d95d2448b1269dde1b7b14b73455e	.github/workflows/ci.yml
$ git show f6506e7274 -- .github/scripts/release-evidence-policy.json | grep ci.yml
+      ".github/workflows/ci.yml": "4d1d82f1d26d95d2448b1269dde1b7b14b73455e",
$ git ls-tree 8cf05824db .github/workflows/ci.yml
100644 blob dc5496ad7e6a146a94fbe8dfeaa3b73461feafbc	.github/workflows/ci.yml

This touches .github/workflows/, a restricted path under .github/scripts/pr-sponsored-surface.cjs, so it needs maintainer-sponsored before merge. The workflow change is a comment only: no trigger, permission, ref or step changes.

Closes #8388

Verification

Run locally on this branch (Bun 1.4.4, Node):

  • bun test tests/ci-workflows: 1865 pass, 27 skip, 0 fail (92 files)
  • node --test .github/scripts/pr-hygiene.test.cjs .github/scripts/release-evidence.test.cjs: 62 pass, 0 fail
  • node .github/scripts/release-evidence.cjs policy-check: fingerprints match (pr-hygiene.yml is not pinned by the policy)
  • bun run privacy:scan: passed

Not run: full bun run test, since the diff is a YAML comment and a devlog paragraph with no code, and actionlint (not installed here). CI owns the remainder.

Walkthrough

The workflow comments now describe scripts as coming from the fixed dev ref and state that PR-head code is not checked out or executed. The cleanup plan distinguishes the new fingerprint entry from the earlier drift repair attributed to #8377. Workflow logic is unchanged.

The workflow comments describe the fixed dev ref and clarify that PR-head code is not checked out or executed. The plan states that #8377 repaired the earlier ci.yml drift, separately from the new fingerprint entry.

The changes are documentation-only and present low merge risk. Clarify that trusted scripts are selected independently of PR metadata, rather than promising their commit can never coincide with the PR head.

Explanation

The title "docs(ci): correct PR hygiene trusted-ref comment and policy history" matches the changeset. The PR edits comments in .github/workflows/pr-hygiene.yml to say trusted scripts come from the fixed dev ref, and it corrects the policy history wording in the stale branch cleanup plan. The title is specific, uses a conventional commit prefix, and names both main aspects. It is 67 characters, within a short-title range.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #8388 is the only active target. Its coding requirement is a documentation correction in two files. The requirements are:

  1. [#8388] The .github/workflows/pr-hygiene.yml header must say privileged PR hygiene loads trusted scripts from fixed dev.
  2. [#8388] The cleanup plan must stop attributing the 28b38f9150 ci.yml drift repair to the #8381 entry, and must distinguish the new fingerprint from earlier repaired drift.

Requirement 1: The whole-PR diff (merge base 5511f62 to head d802caf) changes only comment lines in .github/workflows/pr-hygiene.yml. The new header (lines 13-15) reads "Trusted scripts from the fixed dev ref only, never from the PR base or head." The Checkout trusted hygiene script step at head uses ref: dev with persist-credentials: false and sparse-checkout: .github/scripts, so the header matches the code. No executable line changed.

Requirement 2: The whole-PR diff changes only the ci.yml paragraph (around lines 47-53) and the Consequences paragraph (around lines 84-88) of devlog/_plan/261108_dev_single_branch_release/020_stale_branch_cleanup.md. The new text says the #8381 entry does not repair the 28b38f9150 drift. It states that #8377 had already pinned 4d1d82f1 on dev. I confirmed this in .github/scripts/release-evidence-policy.json at the merge base. That file contains a ci.yml entry with blob 4d1d82f1d26d95d2448b1269dde1b7b14b73455e, and a later entry with dc5496ad7e6a146a94fbe8dfeaa3b73461feafbc. The recorded results table is intentionally unchanged, as the PR description states.

Uncertainty: I did not re-run git ls-tree or git show on the commit IDs named in the PR description. The policy file entries at the merge base support the claim. The commit-level attribution to #8377 is taken from the PR description and the issue text.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff (merge base 5511f62 to head d802caf) touches only two files. Both are named in #8388 as the documentation locations to correct:

  • .github/workflows/pr-hygiene.yml: three comment lines were changed and two lines were removed (+3/-2 per the summary). The change is comment-only. The on: trigger, permissions, concurrency, the checkout ref: dev, and all steps are unchanged.
  • devlog/_plan/261108_dev_single_branch_release/020_stale_branch_cleanup.md: prose only, in the ci.yml paragraph and the Consequences paragraph. No code, tests, or policy files changed.

No unrelated change appears in the diff. The PR touches a restricted .github/workflows/ path. The PR description states that maintainer-sponsored is required before merge. That is a process gate, not a coding requirement, and it does not affect this scope verdict.

Comment thread .github/workflows/pr-hygiene.yml Resolved
The pr-hygiene.yml header still said trusted scripts come from the PR base
revision, but the checkout below it uses the fixed `dev` ref since lidge-jun#8381.

The stale-branch cleanup plan said its new release-evidence entry repaired
the ci.yml drift left by 28b38f9. lidge-jun#8377 had already pinned that blob
(4d1d82f) on dev; the lidge-jun#8381 entry only pins its own ci.yml revision.
The checkout is pinned to dev, which is independent of the PR base and head but is the head itself when dev opens a PR against another branch, so the old "never from the PR head" wording overstated it.

Maintainer judgment

Value: the header comment of pr-hygiene.yml claimed trusted scripts come "from the PR base revision only", but the job checks out the fixed dev ref (ref: dev, sparse .github/scripts, persist-credentials: false). The new wording describes ref selection instead of commit identity, which also answers CodeRabbit's point that a PR headed by dev would make "PR-head code is never checked out" overstated. The devlog correction is accurate against history: #8377 (f6506e7) pinned the ci.yml blob 4d1d82f1 before #8381 merged the unit.

Security review (workflow surface): PASS at d1fd168. Comment-stripped copies of the workflow are byte-identical to dev; triggers, permissions: {}, concurrency, job permissions, pinned action SHAs, checkout settings and the script body are unchanged. Applied maintainer-sponsored after that review.

UX change scope / regression evidence: none at runtime; comment and devlog prose only. Full PR CI including the five test shards is green on this head.

Windows impact: none.

Verification: fresh independent review PASS at d1fd168 (branch updated with a dev merge by the maintainer; no other change).

NOT RUN: full local bun run test (no executable change; CI ran the full Ubuntu shards).
