摘要

#102 政策选项 (2) 的文档落盘(决策=ADR-0045):

  • 新增 standards/automation/app-permissions.md:①App 永不持有 workflows/administration 权限(威胁模型:workflows:write=可修改审判自己的 gate;机器执法已由 expected-state must_not_have + drift-check §6 承担);②CI 工作流变更的 owner 凭据通道(常态=agent 产 diff→owner apply;owner 显式授权会话=先例 AI_Web_School PR#51;通道不豁免任何机器门禁);③agent 遇工作流变更需求的动作序列。
  • AGENTS.md 索引行同步(automation 目录条目描述扩充,ADR-0045)。

配套已落地:AI_Web_School PR #51 已合并(test-freeze 并入 gate.needs,回迁完成,T-W5-034 验收五条全绿——见 #102 关闭评论)。Closes #102

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 文档
    • 新增 App 权限与 CI 工作流变更规范。
    • 明确禁止自动化 App 持有高权限,并要求相关工作流变更通过负责人授权、Pull Request、门禁和规则集流程。
    • 更新规范索引,扩展 ADR 引用范围至 ADR-0045。

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4f2f0

The policy currently allows a PAT-based agent submission path that conflicts with the repository’s documented App identity rules, which could weaken permission, expiry, revocation, and audit guarantees. Align the two governance documents or explicitly define the exception and its safeguards before merging.

High-Level Assessment

The approach is appropriate: the detailed security policy lives in the automation standards, while AGENTS.md remains a concise index. Referencing existing expected-state and drift-check enforcement avoids duplicating machine policy, and both owner credential paths retain standard PR controls.

9-13: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

修正 GitHub API 行为描述。

当前文字把“创建包含工作流文件的 tree”和“提交或更新该变更”混为一谈。GitHub 的 Create a tree 接口要求 Contents: write;工作流权限限制取决于后续实际写入、提交或更新 ref 的接口。因此不应断言 tree 一旦包含 .github/workflows/** 就必然返回 403。(docs.github.com)

请将表述改为“提交或更新包含 .github/workflows/** 的变更时,按具体 API 的权限要求处理;缺少权限时可能返回 403”。

建议修改
- GitHub 侧的自然结果:App 创建的 tree 一旦包含 `.github/workflows/**` 即 403
- (Resource not accessible by integration)——这是**预期行为**,不是故障;
+ GitHub 侧的限制取决于具体写入 API。提交或更新包含

核验 owner 凭据是否真的不能绕过门禁。

本段只声明 owner 凭据不豁免机器门禁。请在合并前核验 .github/workflows/gate.ymltest-freezeneeds 关系以及 ruleset 的 bypass_actors。如果 owner 或 PAT 可以绕过 required checks,当前“不豁免任何机器门禁”的事实性表述不成立。

请在合并前人工确认本治理契约变更。

AGENTS.md 是组织行为契约。请由 owner 确认 ADR-0045 和新增索引条目已获批准,并确认 standards/automation/app-permissions.md 是预期规范入口。本评论不评价格式或风格。

消除 PAT 例外与 AG-1 契约的冲突。

AGENTS.md Line 8 将 cloudbrid-agent GitHub App 定义为 agent 的写仓库身份,并规定令牌来源、单仓作用域和 1 小时有效期。本段却允许 owner 使用 PAT 授权 agent 提交,且没有同步更新该硬规则或限制 PAT 的安全边界。

请二选一:

  1. 删除 agent 使用 PAT 的例外,只保留 owner 手工 apply。
  2. AGENTS.md 和本规范中明确该例外,并规定最小仓库权限、有效期、吊销方式、审计记录和禁止绕过门禁的条件。

否则两个治理文件会允许不同的写入身份。

Remediation recommended

1. owner PAT bypasses approved token scripts 📘 Rule violation ⛨ Security
Description
The new policy permits an owner to authorize an agent with a PAT without requiring scripts/ghcb or
scripts/gh-app-token.sh, and without requiring a fine-grained, short-lived, least-privilege
credential scoped to a single repository, securely injected and revoked after the session. A classic
or broadly scoped owner PAT could elevate the agent from a restricted App token to every repository
and API permitted by the owner’s credentials, enabling credential leakage or operations outside the
PR gate.

PR #19 accepted enforcing repo-scoped tokens and secure credential handling, matching this security
concern.

PR-#19

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
PR Compliance ID 2778539 requires agent credentials to be obtained exclusively through an approved
script and scoped to a single repository; the existing App-token flow enforces that repository
boundary while protecting private-key injection and local caching. The added policy expressly
permits an owner PAT without preserving those controls, despite GitHub security guidance favoring
fine-grained PATs limited to specific repositories, minimum permissions, and the shortest possible
validity period.

Rule 2778539: Agent operations must obtain GitHub tokens via approved scripts with single-repo scope

scripts/gh-app-token.sh[25-30]
scripts/gh-app-token.sh[39-42]
scripts/gh-app-token.sh[192-199]
🌐 GitHub recommends selecting only minimum PAT permissions, setting the shortest necessary expiration, and preferring fine-grained PATs over classic PATs.
🌐 GitHub documents that fine-grained PATs can be restricted to one resource owner, selected repositories, and specific permissions.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The owner-authorization path permits an agent to use an unspecified PAT directly, bypassing the approved token-acquisition scripts and the existing App flow’s single-repository, least-privilege boundary.

## Issue Context
Agent GitHub operations must obtain credentials through `scripts/ghcb` or the legacy `scripts/gh-app-token.sh` with explicit repository scope. Retain the owner-applies-diff path, or document an approved-script-based, repository-scoped authorization mechanism; if PAT authorization remains, allow only short-lived, fine-grained, single-repository credentials with only the permissions needed to submit workflow changes, require secret-manager injection, prohibit logging or persistence, and revoke the credential immediately after the authorization session. Where supported, prefer auditable, expiring temporary authorization over a long-lived owner PAT.

GitHub 的 Git Trees 文档明确说明创建 tree 后还必须创建 commit 并更新 branch;权限文档则只规定编辑 Actions 文件需要 Workflows 权限,并未保证

governance/expected-state.json[41-50]
🌐 GitHub states that after creating a tree, callers must commit it and update a branch reference for the tree to become a repository change.
🌐 GitHub requires the Workflows repository permission when an App needs to access or edit files under .github/workflows, but does not state that creating a Git tree is necessarily the rejecting operation.
