chore(ci): disable zizmor self-repository audit - #1412
Conversation
zizmor flags `uses: ./.github/workflows/...` and asks for GitHub's `$/` self-repository syntax. GitHub accepts `$/`, but actionlint does not yet: it rejects `$/` as "not following the format owner/repo/path@ref nor ./path", which fails the lint step and with it the trusted and final jobs. Support is tracked in rhysd/actionlint#711 and implemented in jdx#732, which is unmerged. So the two linters currently disagree about syntax GitHub itself accepts. The audit only concerns which spelling of a local reference is used and carries no security signal, so it is disabled here and `./` stays. A per-location ignore would need an entry for every reusable workflow call. Verified locally with zizmor 1.30.1: the self-repository findings were the only unsuppressed ones, and with this file zizmor reports no findings.

$/The zizmor workflow only triggers on pull requests touching .github/workflows/**, so a change to .github/zizmor.yml was never audited before merge - including this PR, whose whole purpose is that config.

Supersedes #1409.
zizmor's
self-repositoryaudit asks for GitHub's$/self-repositoryuses:syntax in place of./— that is the failingzizmorcheck onmain, and why #1409 switches the references over.GitHub accepts
$/(it resolved the path in #1409 and the tests ran), but actionlint rejects it:not following the format "owner/repo/path/to/workflow.yml@ref" nor "./path/to/workflow.yml". That fails the lint step, which takestrustedandfinaldown with it. actionlint support is rhysd/actionlint#711, implemented in #732, which is unmerged.So this keeps
./and disables the audit in.github/zizmor.ymlinstead. zizmor's docs call disabling a last resort because it can hide new findings, but this audit only ever concerns which spelling of a local reference is used — there is no security signal in it to lose. A per-location ignore would need an entry for every reusable workflow call. The file says to revisit once actionlint ships support.Verified locally with zizmor 1.30.1: 2
