Summary

  • Add a reusable workflow_call zizmor scanner for the calling repository's workflows/actions, with pinned actions and non-persistent checkout credentials.
  • Support SARIF uploads (category zizmor) and read-only annotation mode; fork PRs always use annotations without privileged triggers or tokens.
  • Intentionally inherit the caller's explicitly scoped job token. The caller defaults to permissions: {} and grants only mode-specific permissions; the provider cannot elevate them. This supports read-only annotation callers without statically requesting upload permissions.
  • Document caller examples, update/rollback guidance, and check-name compatibility.
  • Add 13 dependency-free regression tests, read-only/SARIF lint fixtures, and a pinned CI workflow for contract tests and actionlint.

Rollout

This is the provider change for centralize-actions-security-scanning, separate from the Renovate work.

After this PR merges, follow-up PRs will pin its merged SHA:

  • gitify-app/website, gitify-app/gnome, and gitify-app/gitify: replace duplicated zizmor workflows.
  • gitify-app/kde: add missing scanning coverage.
  • gitify-app/.github: add a separate pinned self-scan caller.

All five repositories are public and support SARIF reporting. Existing required checks do not reference the duplicated zizmor job name; no branch-protection settings are changed here. Reusable job names and analysis keys will be verified during rollout.

Validation

  • node --test tests/zizmor-workflow.test.mjs: 13 passed.
  • Actionlint 1.7.12 with ShellCheck 0.11.0: passed for new workflows and both caller fixtures.
  • Offline zizmor 1.30.1: no unsuppressed findings in the new workflows/fixtures.
  • Two fixture-only self-repository ignores are documented because the pinned actionlint does not support the newer $/ syntax. Production caller references will use full SHAs.
  • git diff --check: passed.

Local tests evaluate the workflow's actual boolean expressions for push, same-repository PR, fork PR, disabled upload mode, and unavailable head metadata. They are not a substitute for live SARIF upload, caller-local config, and fork-PR checks; those remain rollout verification tasks.

The existing Renovate workflow and configs are unchanged. Its unrelated existing ShellCheck directive diagnostics were not folded into this change.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!
