Moves hk's own workflow linting from jactionlint v1 to v2, runs it with the default profile (the strict one), and drops the separate zizmor job.

For contributors

mise run lint (hk check) runs jactionlint v2 over .github/workflows, and hk fix runs jactionlint --fix. The zizmor job and its entry in the final gate in ci.yml are gone. The config moved from .github/actionlint.yaml to .github/jactionlint.yaml (same content), so v2 no longer prints a note about reading an actionlint file.

What changed

  • mise.toml pins jactionlint = "2" and mise.lock is refreshed to 2.0.2 on the same platforms. I used "2" instead of "latest" because mise lock --bump still resolves latest to 1.8.2 for this tool.
  • The repo's step is still Builtins.jactionlint, now with a fix (jactionlint --fix {{ files }}, effect = "write") added in hk.pkl. The builtin in pkl/builtins/jactionlint.pkl is unchanged here, so users of the released builtin see no difference.
  • The default profile reported 43 findings in 20 files, and now reports 0. jactionlint --fix added 3 concurrency groups. By hand: timeout-minutes on 19 jobs, 8 more concurrency groups (release and deploy workflows use cancel-in-progress: false, and ci.yml cancels only pull request runs), a workflow-level permissions: contents: read in ci-impl.yml (its caller already grants exactly that), and set -o pipefail in 5 scripts.
  • The zizmor ignore comments were converted: 6 with jactionlint --migrate-ignores, 2 by hand, and 1 stale one dropped (the checkout in auto-merge-release.yml already sets persist-credentials: false). The two by hand are the use-trusted-publishing ignore for cargo publish in release.yml and the artipacked ignore in release-plz.yml, which the migration could not rewrite; they are # jactionlint ignore= comments with the reason.
  • New ignores: dangerous-triggers for issue_comment in claude.yml (read-only token, and claude-code-action only acts for commenters with write access), and missing-permissions for docs-impl.yml in .github/jactionlint.yaml. The trusted and untrusted callers of that workflow grant different permissions, and a called job cannot request more than its caller grants, so the jobs cannot declare their own.
  • The zizmor builtin (pkl/builtins/zizmor.pkl), its test stub and the docs and showreel mentions are the product's, not this repo's CI, and are left alone.
  • I could not run hk check --all end to end: the released hk cannot evaluate this repo's in-tree pkl/Config.pkl, which needs the hk built from the branch. I ran jactionlint v2 directly (0 findings), prettier --check on the changed files, and evaluated hk.pkl with pkl to confirm the step.

Update: jactionlint 2.1.0 and online checks in CI only

mise.toml tracks latest jactionlint and mise.lock is locked at 2.1.0. CI sets JACTIONLINT_ONLINE=1 and GITHUB_TOKEN on the lint step only, so the online checks (known-vulnerable actions, impostor commits, stale refs, version comment mismatches) run in CI and never in the local pre-commit hook. Locally: JACTIONLINT_ONLINE=1 hk check --all. Fixed the new findings: workflow-level contents: write in aube-lock.yml moved to the job, and the # v6 comments on actions/checkout now say v6.0.2.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches release, docs deploy, and CI gate workflows; removing zizmor shifts security linting to jactionlint only, though behavior is largely preserved via migrated ignores and added hardening.

Overview
Replaces zizmor with jactionlint v2 as the sole GitHub Actions linter: pins jactionlint 2.1.0 in mise.lock, moves runner labels to .github/jactionlint.yaml (with a durable missing-permissions ignore for docs-impl.yml), and extends hk.pkl so hk fix can run jactionlint --fix on workflow files.

The zizmor CI job and its final gate check are removed; former zizmor: ignore[...] annotations become # jactionlint ignore= comments (plus new ignores where needed). CI lint runs online jactionlint checks via JACTIONLINT_ONLINE=1 and GITHUB_TOKEN on the mise run lint step only.

Across ~20 workflow files, changes satisfy the strict jactionlint profile: job timeout-minutes, concurrency (caller-specific groups so reusable workflows aren’t cancelled; releases/docs keep cancel-in-progress: false), tighter permissions (e.g. contents: write scoped to jobs), set -o pipefail in shell scripts, and checkout version comment fixes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated automated workflows to manage overlapping runs more consistently, canceling superseded runs where appropriate and allowing releases and deployments to finish once started.
    • Added execution time limits to many workflow jobs and improved shell pipeline error detection so failures are reported more reliably.
    • Adjusted CI permissions and workflow validation settings. The main CI workflow no longer runs the zizmor check.
    • Pinned the jactionlint tool to a specific major version.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

Apply the queue after the @claude filter.

The concurrency block applies to the whole workflow, but the @claude condition applies only to the job. Other comments on a busy issue can therefore occupy pending slots. GitHub limits queue: max to 100 pending runs and cancels additional runs, so a later @claude request can be lost. Move this concurrency block to the claude job so skipped requests do not enter its queue. (docs.github.com)
