🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Scope the concurrency group to Dependabot push runs.

The workflow-level concurrency block applies to every workflow_run event, including runs that the job-level if later skips. GitHub keeps one pending run per concurrency group. A newly queued run cancels the earlier pending run, even when cancel-in-progress: false.

Trigger: a maintainer uses workflow_dispatch to start "Fast Forward Test Suite" on a Dependabot branch. That run has the same head_sha and a non-Dependabot actor. Suppose a Dependabot completed event run is waiting in the group. A requested, in_progress, or completed event from the manual run then cancels it. The manual run's own publisher job is skipped. It also does not count as a superseding run, because Line 136 filters on event=push.

Consequence: the Run Tests (<version>) statuses can stay pending on the Dependabot commit. Merge is blocked until someone reruns the source workflow.

Fix: add the source event and actor to the group key. Then unrelated runs cannot cancel the pending Dependabot publications.

Update the concurrency group key in the workflow-level concurrency block to
include the source workflow run’s event and actor login alongside head_sha. Keep
cancel-in-progress false so unrelated manual or non-push runs cannot replace
pending Dependabot status publications.

P1 Badge Delay status-write until publisher isolation lands

The referenced reusable workflow still grants statuses: write workflow-wide and runs checked-out consumer code in the test jobs; its isolation change remains in the open dev-tools PR #362. Therefore, on any non-Dependabot push containing malicious test or dependency code, the newly granted token can be recovered from persisted checkout credentials and used to forge required statuses. Keep publication disabled and omit this permission until the isolated publisher is merged, or pin uses to a verified isolated revision.

Confirmed: the current dev-tools main workflow exposes status-write permission to code-executing jobs. The correction is in dev-tools#362, where all code-executing jobs explicitly deny status writes, all checkouts disable credential persistence, and only the checkout-free metadata publisher has write permission. I corrected the integration order in this PR's description: first config#5/enum#6/framework#10 (existing status ceiling; add Actions-read), then dev-tools#362, then these ten callers. This caller must not merge against the old main implementation. I am leaving this finding open until the shared correction actually reaches main; no CI PR has been merged.

Scope statuses: write to publisher jobs only.

The referenced reusable workflow grants statuses: write at workflow scope. Its test job checks out PR code and runs PHPUnit. The publish-required-statuses input skips publishing steps, but it does not remove the token permission. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

actions/checkout persists credentials by default, and explicit workflow permissions can give Dependabot a write-capable token. (github.com) PR-controlled test code can use that token to post a passing Run Tests (...) status and satisfy a required context.

Set workflow-level permissions to read-only. Grant statuses: write only to dedicated publisher jobs, and move final status writes out of jobs that execute PR code.

@coisa Thanks for the clarification. This finding stays open until the shared correction reaches dev-tools/main.

The corrected merge order is:

  1. config#5, enum#6, and framework#10.
  2. dev-tools#362.
  3. The ten caller PRs, including this PR.

The caller’s statuses: write permission provides the permission ceiling. The shared workflow must deny status writes to code-executing jobs and restrict status writes to the checkout-free metadata publisher.

Learning: In php-fast-forward repositories, reusable test workflow callers can grant statuses: write as a permission ceiling for an isolated publisher. The shared php-fast-forward/dev-tools/.github/workflows/tests.yml must explicitly deny status writes in every code-executing job, disable credential persistence in every checkout, and grant status-write permission only to the checkout-free metadata publisher. Review caller permissions together with the shared workflow's job-level restrictions.
