RCA and scope

DiskSage ContextualWisdomLab/disksage#473 was blocked by central CodeQL status/wake HTTP403. Live app + installation metadata confirms OpenCode's app is owned by anomalyco, with Actions/read and statuses/read. This organization cannot change the external app's grants.

The owned cwl-noema-review app4291520 already has security_events/read on all repositories. Keep its existing separate target-scoped analysis reader. Add separate target-scoped statuses/write and Actions/write tokens for receipt publication and exact run-wide settlement. Require the returned status creator to match the owned app; other principals are rejected. Preserve existing credential fallback when optional minting fails. No personal credentials are copied.

Foundation and ownership

This branch ordinarily merges canonical #2405 head 2fb6ec7faf8f42d40384ede2c84658b67ac8a359, preserving its source ancestry. Its complete terminal proof and v2 base/head/run/source/workflow identity are required before the new owned publisher can be trusted. Preserve main's required-run timestamp history filter and live closed/superseded-state tests during integration. #2405 remains a separate canonical owner; this PR must not claim its predecessor CI as current acceptance.

Verification

  • Before foundation integration:108 affected tests passed with GITHUB_ACTIONS=true.
  • Integrated source:116 affected CodeQL/required-workflow tests passed with GITHUB_ACTIONS=true; actionlint and whitespace checks passed.
  • Runnable extracted Bash tests reject an impostor using the owned status credential, retain a single exact-run wake, reject stale owned receipts, and preserve the separate analysis reader.
  • Normal-mode integrated source:116 passed in75.94s at exact head0538e10dd35a48121484e3ede695c6d9d31c3f51.

Deployment acceptance (incomplete)

Source ready for review; deployment acceptance remains Proposed. Requires owned-app Actions/write and Commit statuses/write grant + installation acceptance; current grants are read-only. No new Code Scanning permission is required. Requires #2405 foundation on protected main and real unchanged-head scan/GHAS/SARIF/receipt/wake canary. Local tests do not prove credentials or deployment.

See docs/adr/adr-0032-owned-codeql-status-and-settlement-authority.md. Existing authority issues:#2276 and#1929. Earlier request to change the external OpenCode app was withdrawn after ownership verification.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CodeQL dispatch receipts are bound to the live base, head, required run, workflow, and merge source. Clean terminal results also require GHAS identity and SARIF preservation proof. The workflows add optional target-scoped Noema credentials for status publication and required-run settlement.

Changes

CodeQL settlement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bind dispatch receipts to live PR identity
.github/workflows/codeql-pr.yml, tests/test_codeql_pr_workflow_contract.py, tests/test_code_scanning_required_workflow_contract.py
The coordinator checks live base and merge SHAs. It uses the codeql-scan-v2 payload and accepts verdicts only when receipt context and description match the PR head, required run, workflow, and producer source. Contract tests cover current and stale identities.
Require terminal GHAS and SARIF proof
.github/workflows/codeql-pr.yml, .github/workflows/codeql-scan-dispatch.yml, tests/test_codeql_pr_workflow_contract.py, tests/test_codeql_scan_dispatch_workflow_contract.py, CHANGELOG.d/20260927-codeql-terminal-proof.md, docs/doctoring/codeql-terminal-proof-2352.md, docs/product-technical-gap-baseline.md
A successful gate also requires successful GHAS configuration identity and SARIF preservation evidence. Settlement rejects a successful gate if the required GHAS identity proof is missing or unsuccessful. Tests and documentation specify the terminal-proof and fallback conditions.
Use target-scoped Noema credentials
.github/workflows/codeql-scan-dispatch.yml, tests/test_codeql_scan_dispatch_workflow_contract.py, docs/adr/adr-0032-owned-codeql-status-and-settlement-authority.md
The workflow optionally issues separate Noema tokens for status publication and Actions settlement, and tries them before fallback credentials. Receipt creators are restricted to the listed Noema identities. Tests check the token permissions and creator validation.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0538e

A failed CodeQL scan may be unable to publish its failure receipt even when the owned app has been configured. Make the status token available on that path before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0538e

The new receipt and run checks strengthen the normal path, but granting an organization-wide app write permissions increases the consequences of compromise of its existing private key. Deployment permissions and live behavior still need verification.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: Accepting write grants on the already organization-wide installed app expands a compromise of its private key from analysis-read access to trusted status publication and Actions reruns across installed repositories. Target-scoped tokens limit this workflow's normal operations, but not what a holder of the app key can mint.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — If the proposed installation permissions are accepted, compromise of the existing owned-app key can affect status trust and Actions authority beyond one target repository; the workflow's repository-scoped minted tokens do not scope the key itself.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A holder of the app key with accepted statuses:write grants could mint an installation token and publish as a creator trusted by the required workflow. No key compromise or live grant acceptance is established by this review.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Dispatch requires an allowed matching actor and sender, an organization target, live PR identity, and an exact producer merge revision; settlement checks the target run again before mutation. These checks counter redirection by payload fields alone.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Optional token-mint failures retain credential fallbacks; missing clean-scan proof blocks settlement rather than granting a clean result. The changed contract fixtures do not establish how external minting and permissions behave during a live failure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before accepting organization-wide write grants, verify key isolation and rotation or revocation procedures, then use the planned live canary to confirm creator identity, terminal proof, and one exact-run wake.

Deploying exact head 6952dcc1c83264badc200848fe4e18d9fb89bcc3 under the user's explicit bypass authorization for central CI recovery. Latest protected main eb59914a0b8bf37b2abfb4ac0c083d1043a263dc changes Noema preflight only; neither CodeQL workflow overlaps and GitHub reports MERGEABLE. Canonical #2405 complete-proof foundation is included by ordinary ancestry, so receiver trust and proof enforcement deploy atomically. CodeRabbit's one finding is acknowledged as addressed at this head.111 focused tests passed normally and111 in GITHUB_ACTIONS mode; actionlint and diff check passed.

Hosted checks remain queued and no formal APPROVED review is claimed. Owned app installation now has Actions/write, but statuses/read remains; no canary or deployment acceptance is claimed. Status write owner update is pending. Preserve target-scoped permission requests, existing fallback and exact-run proof.
