The current shared test workflow fails during Composer Audit because phpro/grumphp-shim is blocked by the repository's allow-plugins policy. The failure happens before PHPUnit runs: https://github.com/php-fast-forward/http/actions/runs/37701342290/job/113065291207.

This caller change enables the required per-version commit statuses and supplies contents: read, actions: read, and statuses: write for the isolated publisher introduced by php-fast-forward/dev-tools#362. Dependabot runs do not request status publication. Unneeded contents/pages/id-token write permissions are removed.

The plugin-free Composer Audit and dependency-health corrections live in php-fast-forward/dev-tools#362. This PR is the repository-specific companion, separate from the Dash artwork PR #1. Merge the actions-read-only compatibility PRs config#5, enum#6 and framework#10 first, then dev-tools#362, and only then this caller. This prevents granting a status-write token to the old test implementation. Until the shared correction reaches main, this PR's checks still reproduce the Composer failure.

The standalone test-statuses.yml lifecycle workflow supplies Dependabot statuses from the default branch. It accepts same-repository Dependabot push requests, starts and completions; revalidates repository, source SHA, workflow path/name/ID and attempt through the GitHub API; and rejects stale runs and attempts. Current active attempts receive pending statuses, including reruns. Completed attempts publish actual conclusions only after all three jobs validate. Delayed start events read fresh API state and cannot overwrite a completed result with pending. It has no checkout, artifact/cache download, dependency installation or caller-code execution. This repository requires the bare PHP 8.3/8.4/8.5 statuses; pull-request merge runs and fork PRs are excluded. The copy matches the central resource in dev-tools#362 and becomes active only on the default branch.

The final lifecycle publisher passed 130 scenarios / 1,130 assertions on each of PHP 8.4 and 8.5 (260 executions / 2,260 assertions total). Verified failed/canceled runs with no matrix receive terminal failures; full reruns cannot reuse old successes after a failed resolver; legitimate partial/dependency-only retries retain prior tests. Extra observed PHP versions are rejected and Run metadata is rechecked before each POST. The canonical template is now optional under resources/github-actions-optional, so dev-tools:sync does not install it in incompatible customized consumers. The configured complete version list is explicit for these twelve audited repositories. Actual API contracts were confirmed. Real lifecycle publication remains pending default-branch installation.

Validation: actionlint and git diff --check pass. The publisher permission contract was also tested in real GitHub Actions: the same pinned reusable workflow with actions: none fails at startup (https://github.com/php-fast-forward/dev-tools/actions/runs/37701792651), while actions: read succeeds (https://github.com/php-fast-forward/dev-tools/actions/runs/37702214640). No package code, dependency allowlist, or branch protection is changed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated automated test workflow permissions and status publishing behavior.
    • Added commit status reporting for Dependabot test runs, with pending and completed results for configured PHP versions.
    • Status reporting checks that results match the relevant test run and attempt before publishing. Invalid, incomplete, or ambiguous test results are treated as errors rather than reported as successful.

Walkthrough

The test workflow narrows its permissions and sets publish-required-statuses based on the actor. A new workflow validates eligible Dependabot test runs and publishes per-version commit statuses.

Changes

Dependabot test statuses

Layer / File(s) Summary
Permissions and status publishing
.github/workflows/tests.yml
The workflow grants read access to contents and actions, and write access to statuses. It sets publish-required-statuses to false for dependabot[bot] and true for other actors.
Run validation and status publication
.github/workflows/test-statuses.yml
The workflow validates same-repository Dependabot push runs and suppresses publication for superseded runs. It publishes pending statuses for in-progress runs and derives completed statuses from validated job results.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 671df

The new Dependabot status publishing looks consistent with the current test matrix. However, the test workflow still gives commit-status write access to shared workflow code that tracks a branch rather than a fixed revision. A later upstream change could post statuses without review here. Pinning that reference is a small follow-up.

P1 Badge Delay status opt-in until the isolated publisher lands

While dev-tools#362 has not yet reached main, enabling this input gives the existing shared Run Tests job a status-writing token; that job checks out and executes repository code before its Publish required test status step. Tested code can therefore modify the runner environment or replace gh before that step and forge required statuses. Because the documented rollout merges this caller first, keep only the new permission ceiling in this commit and enable publication after the isolated publisher is actually available.

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.

P2 Badge Reset passing statuses when a rerun is requested

For a rerun of a previously successful Dependabot workflow, the bare Run Tests (...) statuses remain successful while the source run is queued because GitHub does not emit the requested activity for reruns. This bridge therefore cannot replace those statuses with pending until the run becomes in_progress; if Actions capacity or workflow concurrency keeps it queued, branch protection can continue treating the commit as passing and allow it to merge before the requested rerun starts.

Confirmed GitHub does not emit requested for reruns. The operating guide explicitly records the scheduling/API gap: in_progress resets the contexts when the rerun actually starts, and delayed events cannot overwrite completed results. This PR does not claim atomic invalidation while a rerun is queued. Eliminating that window requires protection based on native qualified checks or a separately controlled rerun entrypoint; this task preserves the existing protection settings. I am leaving this limitation open for that separate policy migration, rather than presenting event-based mirroring as instantaneous.

P2 Badge Preserve results when only the summary job is rerun

When the matrix succeeds but the shared workflow's tests / Summarize Test Workflow fails, a failed-jobs rerun contains only a current-attempt summary job while the successful matrix jobs remain on the preceding attempt. Because this predicate does not count the summary job, another failure or cancellation of that rerun leaves $currentJobsObserved false, causing $blockedReason to mark every genuine matrix success as a failure and unnecessarily block the Dependabot commit.
