feat(cli): inject policy inputs from CSV/JSON files at attestation add by migmartri · Pull Request #3244 · chainloop-dev/chainloop

migmartri · 2026-06-26T11:37:34Z

Summary

Adds a repeatable --policy-input-from-file <input>=<file>[:<column>] flag to chainloop attestation add that sources a policy input from a column of a CSV or JSON file and injects it during material policy evaluation. The primary use case is feeding the ignored_paths input of the Sysinternals sigcheck binary-signing policies from a large, data-driven exemption list, but the flag is generic over both the input name and the source column.

chainloop attestation add --name sigcheck --value sigcheckResult.csv --kind SYSINTERNALS_SIGCHECK \
  --policy-input-from-file ignored_paths=exception.csv:Path

Details

The :<column> suffix selects the column and defaults to the input name; a column is always a single, top-level field/header name. The column is the segment after the last :, so a Windows drive letter (C:\...) or URL scheme (https://) in the file path is not mistaken for a column.
Runtime inputs are merged additively onto contract-declared arguments through a dedicated channel, kept separate from policy-group bindings so group evaluations are not mis-flagged as runtime overrides.
The source file is recorded as an EVIDENCE material named <material>-<input> (the input name sanitized to a valid material name, e.g. ignored_paths → ignored-paths; a -<n> suffix disambiguates repeats). The exact input name is preserved in a chainloop.material.policy_input annotation.
The evidence material and the evaluated material are cross-linked both ways via the generic chainloop.material.references annotation (by material name, modeled on the OCI referrers API). The same primitive can connect other material kinds in the future.
PolicyEvaluation gains a runtime_input_overrides field listing which input names were supplied at runtime; the effective merged values remain in with.
CSV/TSV parsing is handled by a new generic pkg/tabular package (extracted from the previous sigcheck-only parser): BOM decoding, comma/tab auto-detection, and a case-insensitive Column extractor. The sigcheck material crafter now consumes it too. JSON accepts a bare string array, an array of string-valued objects, or an object mapping the column to an array.

I like ignored_paths=exceptions.csv:path better.

Agreed — that is the implemented format: --policy-input-from-file ignored_paths=exception.csv:Path (the :<column> is optional and defaults to the input name). The column is the segment after the last :, and since a column name never contains a path separator, a Windows drive letter (C:\...) or URL scheme (https://) is not mistaken for a column.

shouldn't we move the CSV parser to a generic package or use that one generically? now it looks like we can only support sigcheck.

Done — moved the parser out of the sigcheck subpackage into a generic pkg/tabular (Parse returning a Table, with a Column(name) case-insensitive extractor). The sigcheck material crafter, the JSON ingestion in crafting_state.go, and this CLI extraction all consume it now, and the old materials/sigcheck subpackage is removed.

+func extractJSONColumn(content []byte, column string) ([]string, error) {


isn't there a better way of doing this maybe by marshalling to the expected object?

Reworked: the array-of-objects shape now decodes straight into []map[string]string (dropped the json.RawMessage + manual string decode), and the object→array shape keeps json.RawMessage only for the key lookup before decoding the selected value into a typed []string, so sibling fields of other types do not break parsing. matchKey is now a single generic helper. Trade-off: array-of-objects now requires string-valued fields (documented in the code and spec).
