Code Review
This pull request updates the compliance audit script to normalize the workflows list value under workflow_run to a placeholder, preventing per-repository CI workflow name customizations from being flagged as trigger-surface drift. It also adds corresponding test cases to verify this behavior. The review feedback suggests improving the robustness of the new tests by asserting an exact exit status of 1 instead of any non-zero status, which prevents false positives caused by unexpected execution errors.

Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)
Summary
Implements issue #990 (option 1): the stub-surface-drift normalizer in scripts/compliance-audit.sh now collapses pr-auto-review's workflow_run.workflows: list VALUE to a placeholder, so repos following the template's own TODO (naming their CI workflow) are no longer falsely flagged. The workflow_run trigger key and the rest of the on: surface remain verbatim-locked. Six new bats tests cover allowed renames/multi-name lists, protected trigger removals, and malformed value shapes.
Linked issue analysis
Closes #990, which documented a contradiction: the pr-auto-review template's TODO instructs each repo to name its own CI workflow in workflow_run.workflows, but the compliance check compared the on: surface verbatim, flagging every compliant repo (played out on google-app-scripts #540/#541). This PR implements the issue's option 1 — exempt only the workflows: list value from the verbatim compare. The fix is substantive and precisely scoped: the sed rule requires a literal '[' after 'workflows:', so only valid inline-list shapes normalize; 'workflows: null', bare strings, and removal of the workflow_run or check_suite triggers still flag as drift, all verified by tests.
Findings
- Normalizer change is minimal (one sed rule) and well-documented in the function comment, including the justification that 'workflows:' appears only under workflow_run in guarded surfaces, making the unconditional collapse safe.
- Prior bot findings (Gemini assertion robustness, CodeAnt malformed-value bypass, CodeRabbit scope-definition concern) were addressed in a follow-up commit; all 5 review threads are resolved and CodeRabbit re-approved.
- Malformed-shape guardrails: 'workflows: null' and 'workflows: CI' (bare string) do NOT match the normalizer and are still flagged — tested.
- Secret scanning MCP tool was not available in this session; the gitleaks CI check passed on this commit. No secrets in the diff (test fixture references secret names only in a canonical workflow template, matching the existing standard stub).
- No security anti-patterns; change relaxes one documented per-repo value in a compliance audit, consistent with the template's stated intent.
CI status
All substantive checks green on 8a46139: Lint, Lint and bats, ShellCheck, CodeQL, Analyze (actions), Secret scan (gitleaks), SonarCloud (quality gate passed), Agent Security Scan, agent-shield, dependency-audit, pr-auto-review, Graphite AI, CodeRabbit. One 'dev-lead / ci-relay' run shows cancelled — it is the dev-lead agent's own orchestration relay, cancelled ~3s in by concurrency supersession on a review event; not a code-quality check.

Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)
Summary
Implements option 1 from issue #990: the compliance audit's stub-surface-drift check no longer verbatim-compares the per-repo workflow_run.workflows list value for pr-auto-review stubs. A single sed rule in stub_normalize_surface collapses a flow-style workflows list to a WORKFLOWS placeholder, while the workflow_run trigger key, check_suite, and the rest of the on: surface remain verbatim-locked. Six new bats tests cover allowed renames/multi-name lists and still-flagged trigger removals plus malformed shapes (null, bare string). Change is narrow, documented in-line, and shape-safe (only matches values starting with '['), so invalid YAML shapes still surface as drift.
Linked issue analysis
Issue #990 (closed by this PR) documented a real contradiction: the template's own TODO instructs repos to rename workflow_run.workflows, but the drift check flagged any rename (seen on google-app-scripts #540/#541). The issue offered two policies; this PR implements option 1 (exempt the workflows list value, keep the rest of on: locked). Substantively addressed with regression tests for both the allowed customization and the still-protected trigger surface.
Findings
- No security-relevant surface touched: changes are confined to a normalization function in scripts/compliance-audit.sh and its bats tests. No auth, secrets, credentials, or workflow-trigger changes to live workflows.
- The collapse applies unconditionally to all guarded surfaces, justified by the in-line comment that 'workflows:' only appears under workflow_run in guarded stubs — CodeRabbit raised this scoping concern and approved after the fix cycle.
- Prior bot findings all addressed at head: tests assert exact exit codes, and the regex requires a '[' so 'workflows: null' / bare-string shapes are still flagged (covered by tests).
- Minor, non-blocking: a YAML block-sequence workflows list (multi-line '- CI' style) would not be collapsed and would flag as drift; canonical uses flow style, so this just constrains repos to flow style.
- run_secret_scanning MCP tool not available in this run; gitleaks CI check passed (SUCCESS), and the diff introduces no credential-like content.
CI status
All required checks green: ShellCheck, Lint and bats, CodeQL, Agent Security Scan, gitleaks secret scan, SonarCloud quality gate, CodeRabbit, Graphite AI review — all SUCCESS. The CANCELLED/SKIPPED entries are dev-lead dispatch/ci-relay orchestration runs, not test failures. All review threads resolved; CodeRabbit's earlier changes-requested review superseded by its APPROVED review at head.
