Once this input is available and true, the referenced workflow currently starts both the tests matrix and the publish_required_statuses job after the same resolve_php dependency, with no ordering between them. If the publisher's runner is delayed, a matrix job can post its terminal status first and the publisher can then overwrite that same SHA/context with pending; GitHub evaluates the latest status for each context (commit-status API), leaving a completed test required check pending and blocking the branch. Ensure the pending publication completes before matrix jobs begin, or remove the post-hoc pending writer before enabling this input.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

The pending/final race is corrected in dev-tools#362: the checkout-free pending writer precedes the matrix, and the final writer depends on successful pending publication and an executed matrix. Pending failure blocks tests/final writes, avoiding older successful attempts after a matrix skip. The actual PHP/YAML conditions passed 156 assertions on PHP 8.4 and 8.5. This caller must wait for that dependency to reach main; I leave the dependency finding open until then.

🌐 Web query:
official GitHub REST API create a commit status target SHA context statuses write permission
💡 Result:
To create a commit status, send **`POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/statuses/{sha}`**. The path’s `{sha}` is the commit SHA to associate the status with; the request body includes a required `state` (`error`, `failure`, `pending`, or `success`), and may include `context`, `description`, and `target_url`. `context` identifies the reporting service and defaults to `default`. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses?apiVersion=2026-03-10&utm_source=openai))
**Permission:** the caller needs push access. For fine-grained tokens, grant **Commit statuses: write** on the repository. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses?apiVersion=2026-03-10&utm_source=openai))

POST /repos/OWNER/REPO/statuses/SHA

"state": "success",
"context": "ci",
"description": "Build passed",
"target_url": "https://example.com/build/123"
}
```
A successful request returns **201 Created**. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses?apiVersion=2026-03-10&utm_source=openai))

Do not expose statuses: write to caller-controlled test code.
The reusable tests job checks out and executes caller code while retaining the GitHub token. That code can use the commit-status API to post success for an arbitrary commit SHA and context. The final step only writes its fixed TARGET_SHA and Run Tests (...) context, so it does not overwrite such a status.
This does not preserve a forged success for the currently tested SHA and context when the tests fail; the final step can publish failure there. It can still create a passing required status for another commit or context that branch protection evaluates.
Set persist-credentials: false on the checkout, and move final status publication to a separate job that alone has statuses: write.

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.

@coisa Thanks for the clarification. This finding remains open until the shared correction reaches dev-tools main.
The required merge order is:
config#5,enum#6, andframework#10.dev-tools#362.- The ten caller PRs, including this PR.
This caller must not merge against the old shared workflow.

Learning: For php-fast-forward reusable CI workflows, code-executing jobs must explicitly deny commit-status writes, and all checkouts must disable credential persistence. Only the checkout-free metadata publisher may have statuses: write. Caller workflows that enable required-status publication must not merge before the shared workflow on php-fast-forward/dev-tools main enforces this isolation.

When the matrix jobs previously succeeded but tests / Summarize Test Workflow failed, a “Re-run failed jobs” attempt contains only the summary job. Because this whitelist does not recognize that legitimate current-attempt job, a second summary failure leaves $currentJobsObserved false, causing the later $sourceFailed branch to replace every retained test success with failure and block the Dependabot update even though no test leg failed or reran. Include the summary job when distinguishing partial retries from aborted full reruns.

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/iterators/actions/runs/37701417209/job/113065553793.
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.
