Fixes #5468.

The gate was inert for the one diff class it exists for

privacy:scan runs as a step of gates:

gates:
  if: github.event_name != 'pull_request' || needs.changes.outputs.ci == 'true'

and the ci path filter does not list devlog/**. So a pull request whose only changed files are devlog prose skips gates entirely, the scan never executes, and the aggregate ci check still concludes success. Verified on dev at e4ceeb38da — the filter's allowlist is Dockerfile, compose.yaml, docker/, src/, bin/, tests/, scripts/, app/, desktop/, gui/, assets/ and a handful of root files, and nothing there matches a devlog path.

#5467 landed sixteen devlog files through exactly that hole, with a hand sweep for addresses, mesh hostnames, SSH accounts and absolute user paths as its only evidence. AGENTS.md records that maintainer-authored security triage had to be excised from this directory before it could be published, which is what makes this the expensive direction to be wrong in: the failure mode is "published and wrong", and it is not recoverable by reverting.

Why not just add devlog/** to ci

Because that starts nine Windows shards and two macOS shards for a scan that takes seconds — the tradeoff docs and structure already declined, in comments that say so explicitly. This takes the same shape they did: its own filter, its own job.

privacy:
  - 'devlog/**'
  - '.github/workflows/ci.yml'
privacy-gate:
  name: privacy gate
  needs: changes
  if: needs.changes.outputs.privacy == 'true'

.github/workflows/ci.yml is in the filter for the same reason docs and structure list it: without it, this filter's own pull request would skip the job it adds.

privacy-gate is deliberately not also conditioned on ci. gates keeps its own Privacy scan step, so an ordinary source pull request stays covered by the path it always used. Adding || needs.changes.outputs.ci == 'true' here would run the same scan twice on every source change. One of the new tests pins both halves so neither drifts.

Wired into the aggregate gate by name — needs, CHANGES_PRIVACY, the privacy scoped variable, GATED_JOBS, and the expected_for arm — because ci.yml's own comment is that a job missing from that table reads as undeclared rather than passing unnoticed.

Tests

tests/ci-workflows/ci-privacy-gate.test.ts mirrors ci-structure-gate.test.ts, which guards the identical defect for structure/. It reads the condition off the job rather than naming it, so a rename does not quietly pass.

bun test --isolate tests/ci-workflows/ci-privacy-gate.test.ts 5 pass / 0 fail
bun test --isolate tests/ci-workflows/ 1119 pass / 3 fail, 8 skipped
bun run privacy:scan passes
bun run structure:check passes

The 3 failures are not mine. I stashed the change and re-ran the same suite on clean dev: 1114 pass / 3 fail, the same three (a bare pass run removes its preload-owned TEMP root, a bare fail run removes its preload-owned TEMP root, release shell recovers only unverified reads after acknowledged publication). My branch adds 5 passing tests and no new failures.

Mutation-tested 4/4 — each fails the new test:

mutation result
drop devlog/** from the privacy filter 1 fail
widen the ci filter with devlog/** instead (the wrong fix) 2 fail
remove privacy-gate from the aggregate needs 1 fail
let privacy-gate also fire on ci (double-run) 1 fail

ci-structure-gate.test.ts pins the GATED_JOBS line verbatim, so it is updated for the added job — that is the one-line change to an existing test, and it is the guard working as designed.

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • All CI tests are green on my local testing.

  • I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit.

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI and Quality

    • Privacy scans now run for changes limited to development logs without triggering the broader cross-platform test matrix.
    • Privacy checks are included in the aggregate CI status and must pass when applicable.
    • Existing CI behavior continues to run the privacy scan once for broader CI changes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying privacy-scan triggering, path filtering, and aggregate CI gating.

`privacy:scan` is a step of `gates`, and `gates` runs only when the `ci` path
filter matches. That filter does not list `devlog/**`, so a pull request whose
only changed files are devlog prose skipped `gates` entirely and the aggregate
`ci` check still concluded success. The gate that makes a public devlog safe
rather than merely visible was inert for exactly the diffs that fill it.

lidge-jun#5467 landed sixteen devlog files that way. Its only evidence was a hand sweep
for addresses, mesh hostnames, SSH accounts and absolute user paths, because
the scan never ran. AGENTS.md records that maintainer-authored security triage
had to be excised from this directory before it could be published, so this is
the expensive direction to be wrong in.

Widening the `ci` filter would also close it, and would also start nine Windows
shards and two macOS shards for a scan that takes seconds -- the tradeoff
`docs` and `structure` already declined. This takes the same shape they did:
its own filter, its own job.

`privacy-gate` is deliberately NOT also conditioned on `ci`. `gates` keeps its
own Privacy scan step, so an ordinary source pull request is still covered by
the path it always used; adding `|| ci == 'true'` here would run the same scan
twice on every source change. The new test pins both halves of that.

Wired into the aggregate gate by name -- needs, CHANGES_PRIVACY, the scoped
variable, GATED_JOBS and the expected_for arm -- because ci.yml's own comment
is that a job missing from that table reads as `undeclared` rather than
passing unnoticed.

tests/ci-workflows/ci-privacy-gate.test.ts mirrors ci-structure-gate.test.ts,
which guards the identical defect for `structure/`. Mutation-tested 4/4:
dropping `devlog/**` from the filter, widening `ci` with it instead, removing
the job from the aggregate needs, and letting the job double-fire on `ci` each
fail it. ci-structure-gate.test.ts pins the GATED_JOBS line verbatim, so it is
updated for the added job.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow adds a separate privacy scope for devlog/**, runs bun run privacy:scan in privacy-gate, and includes that job in aggregate CI checks. Tests verify path separation, single execution, workflow wiring, and gate expectations.

Changes

Privacy CI routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Privacy scope and filter
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/ci-workflows/ci-privacy-gate.test.ts
The changes job exposes a privacy output. The privacy filter matches devlog/** and .github/workflows/ci.yml. The ci filter and push paths exclude devlog/**. Tests verify these mappings.
Dedicated privacy gate
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/ci-workflows/ci-privacy-gate.test.ts
privacy-gate runs when the privacy output is true, installs dependencies, and runs bun run privacy:scan. The existing gates scan remains scoped to ci changes.
Aggregate CI registration
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/ci-workflows/ci-privacy-gate.test.ts, tests/ci-workflows/ci-structure-gate.test.ts
The aggregate ci job now needs privacy-gate. Its assertion script marks the job as requested or not requested, maps its expected result, and includes it in GATED_JOBS.

privacy:scan은 공개 devlog/가 안전한지 보는 검사입니다. 그런데 이 검사는 gates 안에 있고, gates는 ci 경로에만 켜집니다. ci 목록에는 devlog/**가 없어서, 개발 로그만 고친 PR에서는 검사가 한 번도 안 돌았습니다. 그래도 전체 ci 결과는 성공으로 나왔습니다. #5467이 그 구멍으로 들어갔습니다.

이 PR은 docs·structure와 같은 모양으로 고칩니다. privacy라는 작은 필터와 privacy-gate 잡을 새로 두고, devlog/**만 바뀌어도 스캔이 돕니다. ci를 넓히지 않아서 Windows·macOS 큰 검사는 안 켭니다. 모아 보는 ci 잡에도 이름을 넣어서, 빠지면 undeclared로 드러나게 했습니다. 테스트 파일도 structure-gate와 같은 방식으로 잠가 두었습니다.

base는 dev입니다. 지금 tip은 ac3df52cca3b이고, 패키지는 @bitkyc08/opencodex 2.61.0입니다. 이 head(84fc316)는 tip보다 9커밋 뒤입니다. GitHub에서는 아직 초안입니다. hygiene와 enforce-target이 unsponsored_surface로 막혀 있고, intake: hygiene-blocked 라벨이 붙어 있습니다. types.ts와 config.ts를 나누는 변경은 아닙니다.

.github/workflows/ci.yml privacy-gate - privacy와 ci가 둘 다 true일 때(예: ci.yml만 고침, 또는 소스와 devlog를 같이 고침) gates와 privacy-gate가 같은 privacy:scan을 두 번 돌립니다. 초는 짧게 걸리지만, 겹칠 때는 privacy == true && ci != true로 한쪽만 돌려도 됩니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • 워크플로 표면이라 maintainer-sponsored가 필요합니다. 보안·CI 게이트 설계를 메인테이너가 본 뒤에 라벨을 달지 정하면 됩니다.
  • 겹치는 경로에서 스캔을 한 번만 돌릴지, 지금처럼 두 번 허용할지는 취향입니다. 틀리지는 않습니다.
  • tip보다 9커밋 뒤입니다. 머지 전에 rebase가 필요한지는 랜딩 시점에 보면 됩니다.

너의 추천
방향과 모양이 맞습니다. structure/docs와 같은 길을 골랐고, 잘못된 고쳐( ci에 devlog/** 넣기)를 테스트로 막고 있습니다. 초안을 유지한 채 메인테이너 스폰서와 tip 정렬을 끝낸 뒤 Ready를 판단하세요. 겹침 시 이중 스캔은 막아도 되고, 남겨도 머지를 막을 정도는 아닙니다.

Review finding on lidge-jun#5469: when `privacy` and `ci` are both true, `gates` and
`privacy-gate` ran `privacy:scan` twice on the same commit.

That case is ordinary, not exotic. `.github/workflows/ci.yml` is in both
filters, and any change touching source and `devlog/` together sets both — so
this very pull request was double-running the scan.

The first version of the guard asserted only that privacy-gate's `if` did not
MENTION `ci`, which is true of the defect too. It never asserted the property
the comment claimed. The test now pins the stand-down itself, plus the fact that
the two filters share a path, so the case that produced this is visible in the
suite rather than only in a reviewer's head.

The aggregate gate's `privacy` variable mirrors the job's `if` including the new
arm — a drift there reads as "ran when not requested" and fails that gate.

Mutation-tested: restoring the original condition, and letting the aggregate
drift from the job, each fail one test.

@lidge-jun you're right, and it was firing on this pull request itself. Fixed in f32b7cafc.

The double run. .github/workflows/ci.yml is in the ci filter and in the new privacy one, so editing this file sets both and gates + privacy-gate each ran privacy:scan on the same commit. A change touching source and devlog/ together does the same. privacy-gate now stands down when gates will already run it:

if: needs.changes.outputs.privacy == 'true' && needs.changes.outputs.ci != 'true'

and the aggregate gate's privacy variable mirrors that exactly — without the matching arm it would expect a job that correctly skipped, and read the skip as a failure.

The part worth owning: my test claimed this property and did not check it. It asserted that privacy-gate's if does not mention ci:

expect(workflow.jobs?.["privacy-gate"]?.if).not.toContain("needs.changes.outputs.ci");

which is true of the defect as well, so it passed while both jobs fired. The comment above it said "that would run the same scan twice on every source pull request" — the sentence was right and the assertion did not test it. It now pins the stand-down itself, and a second test pins that the two filters share .github/workflows/ci.yml, so the condition that produces the overlap is visible in the suite instead of living in a reviewer's head. Reverting to the original if fails it; letting the aggregate drift from the job fails it too.

One thing I can't clear myself: hygiene is blocking on unsponsored_surface because this touches .github/workflows/ci.yml, and MAINTAINERS.md wants a security review before the maintainer-sponsored label goes on. Could you apply it when you're happy with the diff? For what it's worth on the security surface: the new job runs bun install --frozen-lockfile and bun run privacy:scan on ubuntu-latest with persist-credentials: false, no secrets, no write permissions, and no new action — the same three steps structure-gate already uses.

Head is 9 behind dev (ac3df52cca3b); the gate tolerates up to 10, so I've left it rather than resync and reset the boxes — which is the treadmill #4443 is about. Happy to rebase on request.

…cy gate

Resolve the ci.yml and ci-structure-gate conflicts against current dev and
close the gaps found in review:

- privacy-gate runs exactly where gates does not: pull requests whose ci
  scope is false and whose privacy scope is true. Push and dispatch always
  run gates, so the scan never runs twice on any event.
- The privacy filter output is re-emitted through the scope assertion like
  ci, so a missing or malformed value fails the changes job instead of
  silently skipping the only scan that covers devlog.
- The aggregate derives the privacy expectation from scoped, and
  privacy-gate sits on its own GATED_JOBS line so ci-structure-gate.test.ts
  keeps dev's version.
- ci-privacy-gate.test.ts executes the checked-in conditions, the scope
  step and the aggregate step instead of matching their text, and is
  registered in both test-layout maps.
- ci-review-lanes.test.ts passes the new producer and CHANGES_PRIVACY to
  the aggregate it executes under set -u.

Maintainer update: pushed 512eb38b07 to this branch (current dev merged, plus fixes).

What changed and why:

  • Merged dev (0f9254b564) and resolved the ci.yml and ci-structure-gate.test.ts conflicts. privacy-gate now sits on its own GATED_JOBS line, so ci-structure-gate.test.ts is identical to dev.
  • privacy-gate is now the exact complement of gates: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && ci != 'true' && privacy == 'true'. Push and dispatch always run gates, so no event can run the scan twice.
  • The privacy filter output goes through the existing scope assertion, the same way ci does. A missing or malformed value now fails changes instead of silently skipping the only scan that covers devlog/.
  • The aggregate derives the privacy expectation from scoped, so the gate and the jobs use the same condition.
  • ci-privacy-gate.test.ts now runs the checked-in if: conditions for every event × ci × privacy combination, plus the scope step and the aggregate step, instead of matching their text. The earlier "both filters can match" case expected ci.yml as a literal entry in the ci filter; dev lists .github/workflows/** there instead, so that case would have failed. The file is now registered in both test-layout maps.
  • ci-review-lanes.test.ts runs the real aggregate under set -u; it now passes the new job and CHANGES_PRIVACY.
  • Added a short plan and outcome record under devlog/_plan/260923_p4_ci_pr_finish/.

Evidence: Cross-platform CI run 35819557849 at 3f4d7ad4fe passed every job, and the new cases passed on both Linux and macOS. 512eb38b07 adds only the devlog outcome section; its run is in progress.

Workflow security check: no permissions added (privacy-gate inherits contents: read), no secrets read or logged, only the existing SHA-pinned checkout and the local setup action, and no pull_request_target surface.

Still open, and not fixable by code: hygiene and enforce-target stay red on unsponsored_surface until a maintainer who has reviewed the workflow change applies maintainer-sponsored. enforce-target also needs the author to re-attest the readiness checklist, because the description still carries the previous first item.
