- Created a comprehensive QA report detailing the audit of three GitHub Actions workflows: propagate-changes.yml, nightly-build.yml, and supply-chain-verify.yml.
- Included sections on pre-commit hooks, YAML syntax validation, security audit findings, logic review, best practices compliance, and specific workflow analysis.
- Highlighted strengths, minor improvements, and recommendations for enhancing security and operational efficiency.
- Documented compliance with SLSA Level 2 and OWASP security best practices.
- Generated report date: 2026-01-13, with a next review scheduled after Phase 3 implementation or 90 days from deployment.
Remove unused pull-requests: write permission from auto-versioning workflow.
The workflow uses GitHub Release API which only requires contents: write
permission. This follows the principle of least privilege.
Changes:
- Removed unused pull-requests: write permission
- Added documentation for cancel-in-progress: false setting
- Created backup of original workflow file
- QA verification complete with all security checks passing
Security Impact:
- Reduces attack surface by removing unnecessary permission
- Maintains functionality (no breaking changes)
- Follows OWASP and CIS security best practices
Related Issues:
- Fixes GH013 repository rule violation on tag creation
- CVE-2024-45337 in build cache (fix available, not in production)
- CVE-2025-68156 in CrowdSec awaiting upstream fix

Linter Configuration Updates:
Add version: 2 to .golangci.yml for golangci-lint v2 compatibility
Scope errcheck exclusions to test files only via path-based rules
Maintain production code error checking while allowing test flexibility
CI/CD Documentation:
Fix CodeQL action version comment in security-pr.yml (v3.28.10 → v4)
Create workflow modularization specification (docs/plans/workflow_modularization_spec.md)
Document GitHub environment protection setup for releases
Verification:
Validated linter runs successfully with properly scoped rules
Confirmed all three workflows (playwright, security-pr, supply-chain-pr) are properly modularized
Feature branch pushes were failing to save artifacts because the image
was pushed to GHCR but not loaded locally. Multi-platform builds
cannot use load:true, so feature branch pushes now build single-platform.
Update branch triggers and downstream workflow logic to support all
branches defined in docker-build.yml (main, development, feature/**).
Changes:
docker-build.yml: Expand branch glob to feature/**, use branch-based tags
playwright.yml: Replace is_beta_push with generic is_push detection
security-pr.yml: Same branch-agnostic pattern
supply-chain-pr.yml: Same pattern, skip PR comments for push events
The workflows now support any push that triggers docker-build:
main branch → tag: latest
development branch → tag: dev
feature/* branches → tag: {branch-name}
Pull requests → tag: pr-{number}
Dynamic artifact naming:
Push events: push-image (shared across all branches)
Pull requests: pr-image-{number}
This ensures CI/CD pipelines work for stable releases, bug fixes,
and new feature development without hardcoded branch names.
Implements all 13 fixes identified in the CI/CD audit against
github-actions-ci-cd-best-practices.instructions.md
Critical fixes:
Remove hardcoded encryption key from playwright.yml (security)
Fix artifact filename mismatch in supply-chain-pr.yml (bug)
Pin GoReleaser to ~> v2.5 instead of latest (supply chain)
High priority fixes:
Upgrade CodeQL action from v3 to v4 in supply-chain-pr.yml
Add environment protection for release workflow
Fix shell variable escaping ($$ → $) in release-goreleaser.yml
Medium priority fixes:
Add timeout-minutes to playwright.yml (20 min)
Add explicit permissions to quality-checks.yml
Add timeout-minutes to codecov-upload.yml jobs (15 min)
Fix benchmark.yml permissions (workflow-level read, job-level write)
Low priority fixes:
Add timeout-minutes to docs.yml jobs (10/5 min)
Add permissions block to docker-lint.yml
Add timeout-minutes to renovate.yml (30 min)
Separate PR-specific tests from docker-build.yml into dedicated workflows
that trigger via workflow_run. This creates a cleaner CI architecture where:
playwright.yml: E2E tests triggered after docker-build completes
security-pr.yml: Trivy binary scanning for PRs
supply-chain-pr.yml: SBOM generation + Grype vulnerability scanning
The skip condition used github.ref to detect the beta-release branch,
but for PRs github.ref is "refs/pull/N/merge", not the branch name.
Added github.head_ref to env variables for PR branch detection
Updated condition to check both REF and HEAD_REF
This ensures E2E tests run for PRs from feature/beta-release branch
The DNS provider API endpoints were returning 404 in CI because the
encryption service failed to initialize with an invalid key.
Changed CHARON_ENCRYPTION_KEY from plain text to valid base64 string
Key "dGVzdC1lbmNyeXB0aW9uLWtleS1mb3ItY2ktMzJieXQ=" decodes to 32 bytes
Without valid encryption key, DNS provider routes don't register
This was causing all dns-provider-types.spec.ts tests to fail
Root cause: AES-256-GCM requires exactly 32 bytes for the key
The E2E test "should show script path field when Script type is selected"
was failing because the locator didn't match the actual UI field.
Update locator from /create/i to /script path/i
Update placeholder matcher from /create-dns/i to /dns-challenge.sh/i
Matches actual ScriptProvider field: label="Script Path",
placeholder="/scripts/dns-challenge.sh"
Also includes skill infrastructure for Playwright (separate feature):
Add test-e2e-playwright.SKILL.md for non-interactive test execution
Add run.sh script with argument parsing and report URL output
Add VS Code tasks for skill execution and report viewing
