fix(publish): remove scan-skip footgun, pin republish checkout, harden CI guardrails - #8444
Conversation
…n CI guardrails Findings from an end-to-end adversarial review of the npm staged-publish pipeline (stage → verify → Socket scan → human 2FA approve → tag/release): - The Socket scan gate can no longer be skipped: `--no-scan` is removed from both `pipeline.mts` and `npm/approve.mts`. A missing/invalid SOCKET_API_TOKEN now fails closed and is reported as BLOCKED (distinct from "scanned clean") rather than silently proceeding. - `pipeline.mts` required an explicit mode flag; running it with zero arguments (or a bare `npm run publish:pipeline`) silently dispatched a REAL staged publish. A mode flag is now mandatory and unknown flags are rejected outright, instead of being silently ignored. - `release-packages.yml`'s `republish` mode never pinned its checkout to the tag being republished, so a `main` that drifted past the tag could silently publish a different npm version than the tag/release label. Every downstream checkout (build, build-cross, npm-publish) now pins to the tag's exact commit for republish, and preflight cross-checks the tag's own Cargo.toml against the tag name before proceeding. - `npm-stage-publish.yml`'s `build-run-id` reuse had no provenance check; a stale or wrong-workflow run-id could stage old binaries under today's version with no error. It's now verified (workflow identity, success, exact commit) before its artifacts are trusted. - Neither workflow had a `concurrency:` group; two dispatches for the same tag/dist-tag could race each other's idempotency checks. Both now serialize on tag/dist-tag without cancelling an in-flight run. - The stage-upload step's "idempotent" comment wasn't backed by code — a partial failure's re-run re-attempted every package. It now skips packages a prior run already staged. - `verifyAndScan` (the --stage-only/--scan-only status path) now surfaces a partial staged set immediately instead of only at approve time. Added regression tests: the isMainModule guard is asserted to be the last top-level statement in every entry-point module (the exact incident class that once fired a real `cargo publish` from a bare import), the no-mode usage error, and that no `--no-scan`/`noScan` surface remains anywhere in the pipeline.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR hardens staged publishing and release republishing. It enforces Socket scans, requires explicit publish modes, validates reused builds and tagged checkouts, serializes workflows, and skips package versions that are already staged. ChangesPublish pipeline hardening
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The staged-publish workflow can treat a failed staged-list lookup as an empty set, so a partial rerun may retry already-staged versions and fail rather than safely resume; merge should wait for fail-closed handling or explicit owner acceptance.

- npm-stage-publish.yml: pin the fresh release-packages.yml dispatch to this run's exact commit via --ref, and match the resulting run by headSha (not just createdAt) — otherwise the dispatch could target the default branch's tip instead of the commit this workflow actually checked out, or the run-matching could grab a concurrent dispatch of the same workflow from a different ref. - pipeline.mts: reject two conflicting mode flags (e.g. --stage-only --approve) instead of silently picking whichever came first in argv. Both were flagged by CodeRabbit's automated review. Added a regression test spawning the real CLI with conflicting mode flags to prove it fails closed.

GitHub REST create workflow dispatch ref commit SHA supported branch tag name
💡 Result:
When using the GitHub REST API to create a workflow dispatch event (POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/dispatches), the ref body parameter is required [1][2]. According to official GitHub documentation, this parameter accepts only a branch or tag name [1][3]. The GitHub REST API does not support providing a commit SHA directly as the ref value [4][5]. Attempts to use a commit SHA in this parameter will result in a "No ref found" error from the API [4][5]. While some third-party GitHub Actions (available on the GitHub Marketplace) may describe their own ref inputs as accepting a commit SHA [6], these actions typically perform their own logic to resolve that SHA to a valid branch or tag before invoking the GitHub API, or they simply encapsulate the API call which remains restricted to branches and tags [5]. If you need to run a workflow at a specific commit, you must identify a branch or tag that points to that commit and provide that reference name to the API [5].

🌐 Web query:
GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch dispatch workflow at commit SHA --ref
💡 Result:
When triggering a workflow using workflow_dispatch, the ref parameter is limited to branches or tags [1][2]. The GitHub Actions API for creating a workflow dispatch event does not support providing a specific commit SHA directly as the ref [1][2][3]. If you attempt to pass a commit SHA as the ref in the API request, the request will fail with an error indicating that the reference could not be found [1][2]. To work around this limitation, you can follow these approaches: 1. Use a branch or tag: The standard way to trigger a workflow is to point ref to an existing branch or tag [1][4]. 2. Pass the SHA as an input: If you need your workflow to process a specific commit, define an input in your workflow's workflow_dispatch configuration to accept the SHA [2][5]. Your workflow can then use this input during its checkout step (e.g., using actions/checkout@v4 with the ref parameter set to the input value) [2][5]. Example workflow configuration: on: workflow_dispatch: inputs: target_sha: description: 'The commit SHA to checkout' required: true jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: ref: ${{ inputs.target_sha }} - run: echo "Running on commit ${{ github.sha }}"

gh workflow run --ref accepts a branch or tag name, not a raw commit SHA. The fresh-build path can fail before it creates a build run. Dispatch a supported ref, pass CUR_SHA as an input, and make release-packages.yml check out and validate that SHA before building.

Bound the child process.
If mode validation regresses, this test can invoke gh or another external operation. spawnSync has no timeout, so the test can hang instead of failing. Set a finite timeout and assert that result.error is absent before checking the exit status.

Correction on requirement 1: |
…oad on it npm-stage-publish.yml now references secrets.SOCKET_API_TOKEN and adds a "Socket scan the staged tarballs" step right after staging, using pipeline.mts's --scan-only path (same verify+scan code the local flow uses, not a duplicate). Previously the Socket scan gate only ran when a human later remembered to run `publish:approve` correctly on their own machine with SOCKET_API_TOKEN set locally -- CI staged all 9 packages with zero scanning in between. Now every staged upload is scanned immediately in CI, and the workflow fails if it isn't clean. Also fixes --scan-only itself: it printed the scan status but never set a failing exit code on a blocked/incomplete/not-passed scan, which would have made the new CI step unable to fail no matter what the scan found.

Bound the assertion to the --scan-only branch.
src.slice() includes all later mode branches. The test passes if --scan-only loses its exit-code assignment but --approve or --release-only still contains process.exitCode = 1.

Summary
Follow-up to an end-to-end adversarial review of the npm staged-publish pipeline (stage -> verify -> Socket scan -> human 2FA approve -> tag/release). Nine agents reviewed each subsystem and four adversarially re-verified the highest-severity claims; this PR fixes what survived verification.
--no-scanis removed from bothpipeline.mtsandnpm/approve.mts-- the scan is mandatory. A missing/invalidSOCKET_API_TOKENfails closed and is reported asBLOCKED(distinct from "scanned clean"), rather than silently proceeding unscanned.npm-stage-publish.ymlnow also scans every staged upload immediately in CI viasecrets.SOCKET_API_TOKEN, instead of relying solely on a human later runningpublish:approvelocally.pipeline.mtsno longer has a zero-flag footgun, and no longer picks a mode by argument order when two conflict. Running it with no arguments (or a barenpm run publish:pipeline) used to silently dispatch a REAL staged publish; a mode flag is now required, exactly one, and unknown flags are rejected instead of silently ignored.release-packages.yml'srepublishmode now pins its checkout to the tag being republished. Previously every job checked out whatever ref the dispatch happened to run on; ifmainhad advanced past the tag, the rebuild could silently compile (and npm publish) a different version than the tag/release label says.preflightalso cross-checks the tag's ownCargo.tomlagainst the tag name before proceeding.npm-stage-publish.yml'sbuild-run-idreuse is now verified (workflow identity, success, exact commit) before its artifacts are trusted, and a fresh dispatch is now pinned to this run's exact commit via--refand matched byheadSha-- previously a stale/wrong-workflow run-id, or a dispatch that silently targeted the default branch's tip instead of this run's commit, could stage the wrong binaries under today's version with no error.concurrency:group, keyed on tag/dist-tag, so two dispatches for the same target can't race each other's idempotency checks.cancel-in-progress: false-- never cancels an in-flight publish.verifyAndScan(the--stage-only/--scan-onlystatus path) now surfaces a partial staged set immediately instead of only at approve time.Added regression tests in
publish.test.mts: theisMainModuleguard is asserted to be the last top-level statement in every entry-point module (the exact incident class that once fired a realcargo publishfrom a bare import), the no-mode and conflicting-mode usage errors (the latter spawns the real CLI), and that no--no-scan/noScansurface remains anywhere in the pipeline.CI now scans every staged upload, and two requirements remain for a maintainer
npm-stage-publish.yml'sstage-uploadjob now referencessecrets.SOCKET_API_TOKENand runs a mandatory "Socket scan the staged tarballs" step right after staging (reusingpipeline.mts's--scan-onlypath -- same verify+scan code the local flow uses, not a duplicate). Previously CI staged all 9 packages with zero scanning in between staging and whenever a human next ranpublish:approve; now every staged upload is scanned immediately in CI and the workflow fails if it isn't clean. (--scan-onlyitself also had a bug fixed alongside this: it printed the scan status but never set a failing exit code, which would have made this new CI step unable to fail no matter what the scan found.)Two things still need a maintainer with repo-admin access -- neither is something this PR can provision from outside:
SOCKET_API_TOKENGitHub Actions secret (repo- ornpm-publish-environment-scoped) that the new CI step now references. Perry is open source, so the org running these scans may qualify for Socket's free Business plan upgrade for OSS maintainers: https://socket.dev/blog/free-business-plan-upgrades-for-open-source -- that's the natural way to get a token provisioned if one doesn't already exist.npm-publishGitHub environment.gh api repos/PerryTS/perry/environmentscurrently shows only one environment (github-pages);npm-stage-publish.yml'sstage-uploadjob referencesenvironment: npm-publish, required for npm's trusted-publisher OIDC config per that workflow's own comments. This environment does not exist on the repo yet. This is a prerequisite from PerryTS/perry#8336's original enablers list that still looks open, independent of anything in this PR.Until both are provisioned,
stage-uploadwill fail at the scan step (no token) and/or at the environment gate -- which is the correct fail-closed behavior, not a bug.Not in this PR (flagged, lower severity, left for a follow-up)
auth-posture.mts's long-lived-token detection is a fixed 3-name env-var allowlist; a token embedded directly in.npmrcis invisible to it.pipeline.mts's concurrent-dispatch run-matching (client-sidedispatchedAt+ a fixed sleep) has a narrow race the code's own comment already acknowledges; the new workflow-levelconcurrency:groups reduce how often it can trigger but don't remove it.cargo/ffi-publish.mts's perry-runtime prerequisite check is warn-only, relying oncargo publish's own validation as the backstop.Test plan
