Problem

The test-regression guard runs a repo's test suite, which is code from the PR branch, inside the job that holds secrets.GH_PAT_DON_PETRY, the engine tokens and the API keys. PR #2019 limited what that code can reach, but it still runs as the same OS user as the harness, so it can read the secrets from an ancestor process's environment or from the real checkout (issue #2143).

Per the maintainer's decision in the issue, this PR moves the suite into a separate job with no secrets:

  • dispatch (work): the model runs and commits as today, then writes a handoff artifact and exits without pushing.
  • test-suite (new): permissions: {}, no secrets.*, no checkout. It rebuilds a throwaway repo from the artifact, runs the unchanged trg_scan_pass, and outputs only a verdict.
  • push (new, if: always()): restores the exact result commits, reads the verdict, and does everything that follows a push today, including the claim-retraction sweep on every outcome.

Provenance: this branch is dev-lead's checkpoint from run 37982565082, which hit the 45-minute action budget before it could open a PR. The commit is marked INCOMPLETE and has not been reviewed. Opened by the maintainer so CI and review can finish it.

Risk

High. It restructures dev-lead-reusable.yml, which eight consumer repos pin through the channel tags, and it changes the path every pushing pass takes. A fault here could stop dev-lead pushing, or push without a verdict. It must go through the canary rings, and it adds status checks (dev-lead / test-suite, dev-lead / push) whose names rulesets and the canary registry need to be checked against.

Test plan

New tests/dev-lead/unit/test_test_job_handoff.bats and additions to test_fix_reviews.bats (24 new tests), including the structure test over the workflow and the leak test. CI runs them; they have not been run since the checkpoint. Still to confirm against the issue: every acceptance criterion, in particular fail-closed behaviour when the test job is cancelled or reports nothing, and that non-guard intents stay single-job.

Rollback

Revert this PR, or roll the channel back with canary-rollout (command=rollback). No migrations or external state.

Monitoring

On ring0 after promotion: a pushing pass should show three jobs, a verdict in the run summary, and a verified push; a refused or failed test job should show no push and retracted claims.

Closes #2143

Code Review

This pull request implements an isolated test job execution model (#2143) to run the test suite in a job with no secrets, empty permissions, and no checkout, preventing PR code from accessing sensitive credentials. It introduces a handoff mechanism using tarballs and git bundles to pass state between the dispatch, test-suite, and push jobs. The review feedback suggests improving the robustness of the shell scripts by implementing error handling and cleanup traps for temporary directories, and avoiding piping to head -1 under set -o pipefail to prevent SIGPIPE crashes.

CodeAnt Nitpicks

2 code suggestions

1. This cap also covers post-push verification, claim retraction, and thread resolution; if their paginated API calls exceed 30 minutes, the commit lands but cleanup and terminal reporting stop.

Possible bug · .github/workflows/dev-lead-reusable.yml:756


2. tjh_verdict also permits preexisting, unattributed, unbaselined, timeout, and not-run; this row falsely says only a passing suite can be pushed.

Comment mismatch · docs/dev-lead/spec.md:287

⚠️ Retracted by the dev-lead harness (not-on-ref). This reply's fixed disposition cited a commit that is not on the PR branch (the push did not land), so it no longer counts as a fix. The comment stays open; the next dev-lead pass re-answers it against the pushed branch.

Original reply, kept for the record (unverified — it does not count as a fix):

Fixed both nitpicks:

  1. Timeout cap (.github/workflows/dev-lead-reusable.yml:756): Increased push job timeout from 30 to 60 minutes to accommodate paginated API calls for post-push verification, claim retraction, and thread resolution operations.

  2. Spec description (docs/dev-lead/spec.md:287): Updated the description to clarify that the push job proceeds on any successful verdict (green, preexisting, unattributed, unbaselined, timeout, not-run), not only on passing verdicts, and documents that unsuccessful verdicts (no verdict or regression) trigger claim retraction.

Existing test changed without justification — human attention needed

The fix-bot-comment pass changed, deleted, or skipped existing test(s) to go with its fix: tests/dev-lead/unit/test_fix_reviews.bats. A previously-passing test that disagrees with a change is a reason to question the change, not to edit the test, so dev-lead did not push this pass (#2013).

If the test really is wrong, a human should make that call, or the fix should carry a Test-Change-Justification: commit trailer that cites the reason (for example, the review comment that asked for it). Auto-merge has been disabled.

…mantics in spec

- Push job comment now explains that the 60-minute timeout covers all operations
  including post-push verification, claim retraction, and thread resolution; if
  paginated API calls exceed the limit, the commit lands but cleanup stops.
- Spec row updated to say 'verdict permits' instead of 'successful verdict' to
  avoid confusion that only passing suites allow pushing; clarifies that all
  listed verdicts (green, preexisting, unattributed, unbaselined, timeout, not-run)
  permit pushing.

Fixed both code suggestions:

  1. Push job timeout (line 756 in .github/workflows/dev-lead-reusable.yml): Updated the comment to document that the 60-minute timeout covers all post-push operations (verification, claim retraction, thread resolution, terminal comment). If paginated API calls exceed the limit, the commit lands but cleanup may not complete.

  2. Spec verdict semantics (line 287 in docs/dev-lead/spec.md): Clarified that the push job pushes when the verdict "permits" rather than on "any successful verdict," which was misleading about non-green verdicts (preexisting, unattributed, unbaselined, timeout, not-run) that also allow pushing.

Test-Change-Justification: the loop over test-job results must clear label_posts on each iteration so every iteration proves the hold label was applied, as it did before the #2142 stub arm replaced T2013_LABELS (review on PR #2158)

Re-read the current body of the CodeRabbit comment. Its one finding is the Merge Risk note that the push step can retract the pass's own "fixed" claims just before pushing. That does not match the code. In scripts/dev-lead-fix-reviews.sh the fix-reviews, fix-bot-comment and review-changes arms call retract_unlanded_claims only after commit_and_push returns, and it checks each claim against the remote head. The only earlier call is in dlh_enter_push_phase. It runs only when the handoff cannot be restored, and then nothing is pushed, so retracting is correct. The rest of the comment (summary, walkthrough, pre-merge checks) has no findings. No code change.

Re-read the current CodeAnt body. Its one finding is that the isolated test-suite job installs only Bats, so test commands that need engine CLIs may fail as unattributed and still allow a push. That behaviour is intended. unattributed is one of the verdicts the push job allows (docs/dev-lead/spec.md, the push row of the jobs table, and TJH_VERDICTS in scripts/lib/test-job-handoff.sh). It matches the in-process test behaviour from before this PR. Only regression or a missing/invalid verdict blocks the push. Giving the secretless job engine CLIs or credentials would undo the isolation this PR adds (#2143). No code change.
