From 9272eb69e49420ea78d2620a0d347bebadf05625 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ctopherwilliams <35182714+ctopherwilliams@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 17:47:08 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat: open up external contributions, AI-reviewed (advisory only) The repo was already public with no merge-approval requirement (branch protection only requires the `audit` check) -- external contributors could already fork+branch+PR with zero config changes. What was missing: docs saying so, and a review gate proportional to trusting code from people who aren't collaborators. - CONTRIBUTING.md: explicit fork -> branch -> PR walkthrough, and fixed a stale pre-tests/smoke.py checklist (referenced an old one-line import check and a 3-file bandit scope; CI actually runs the full smoke suite and scans the whole repo). - pull_request_template.md: same checklist fix. - New external-pr-review.yml: posts ONE advisory AI review comment on PRs from non-collaborators (never dependabot, which has its own auto-merge workflow). Never approves, merges, or modifies anything -- contents:read only, no contents:write. Security model: pull_request_target is normally dangerous for fork PRs (secrets exposed + if you check out and run the fork's code, that's a "pwn request"). This workflow never checks out or executes the fork's code -- checkout takes no `ref:` override (stays on base `main`), and the PR's diff is fetched as TEXT ONLY via `gh pr diff`, handed to the model as clearly-labeled untrusted input, exactly like issue-autopilot.yml already treats untrusted issue bodies. Confirmed no other workflow can auto-merge a non-dependabot PR (only dependabot-auto-merge.yml calls `gh pr merge`, already actor-gated). - New test: parses every .github/workflows/*.yml file to catch a syntax mistake before it silently breaks a CI trigger (caught and fixed a YAML block-scalar formatting choice in the new workflow's own `if:` while writing this). --- .github/pull_request_template.md | 7 +- .github/workflows/external-pr-review.yml | 93 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ CONTRIBUTING.md | 22 +++++- tests/smoke.py | 17 +++++ 4 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .github/workflows/external-pr-review.yml diff --git a/.github/pull_request_template.md b/.github/pull_request_template.md index 4c8930e..518622e 100644 --- a/.github/pull_request_template.md +++ b/.github/pull_request_template.md @@ -10,8 +10,11 @@ - [ ] Security ## Checklist -- [ ] `bandit -c bandit.yaml -r *.py -ll` and `pip-audit -r requirements.txt` pass locally -- [ ] `python -c "import traeger_client, poll, trend"` succeeds +- [ ] `python tests/smoke.py` passes locally +- [ ] `bandit -c bandit.yaml -r . -ll` and `pip-audit -r requirements.txt` pass locally - [ ] No secrets, tokens, `.env`, `.bw_session`, or device thing-names in the diff - [ ] Read-only design preserved (no grill control beyond `command:"90"`) - [ ] Docs updated if behavior changed + + diff --git a/.github/workflows/external-pr-review.yml b/.github/workflows/external-pr-review.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c194ee5 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/workflows/external-pr-review.yml @@ -0,0 +1,93 @@ +name: External PR review (AI, advisory only) + +# Posts one advisory AI code-review comment on PRs from external (non- +# collaborator) contributors.
