📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds a protected Depot authority-sentinel path for same-repository pull requests. It validates runner selection, cache endpoints, trusted-seed restoration, and PR poison-marker isolation. It also adds manual canary modes, documentation, and regression tests. ChangesDepot authority sentinel
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds CI cache-backend attestation, but the current URL validation still accepts alternate numeric representations of loopback addresses, allowing a backend that should be rejected to pass the guard. This concrete security-boundary gap, together with still-open validation concerns, should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Possibly related PRs

501-550: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the duplicated attestation function into a composite action.
The
attest_cache_endpointfunction is duplicated verbatim inseed_authority_marker(lines 338-387) andverify_pr_write(lines 501-550). Divergence between the two copies would weaken one phase silently. Neither job checks out the repository, so a composite action under.github/actions/is the reuse mechanism that keeps the no-checkout property. The existing.github/actions/configure-sccache-gha/action.ymlshows the pattern already used in this repository.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

87-92: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winUse the line-anchored
_job_blockhelper instead of rawindexslicing.
self.workflow.index(" runner:")matches the substring anywhere in the file. A key indented by four or more spaces, such asrunner:, contains" runner:"and matches first. The slice then starts inside the wrong block and the assertions verify the wrong region. The same risk applies to" seed_authority_marker:"and" verify_pr_write:".The class already defines
_job_block, which anchors on line start underjobs:. Reuse it here and at Lines 147-150.♻️ Proposed refactor
- audit_start = self.workflow.index(" runner:") - seed_start = self.workflow.index(" seed_authority_marker:") - verify_start = self.workflow.index(" verify_pr_write:") - audit = self.workflow[audit_start:seed_start] - seed = self.workflow[seed_start:verify_start] - verify = self.workflow[verify_start:] + audit = self._job_block("runner") + seed = self._job_block("seed_authority_marker") + verify = self._job_block("verify_pr_write")Line 98 then needs a stable label, for example

2342-2345: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winRecord why the sentinel cache steps are exempt from the native-cache gate.
The job-set update is correct. However
eligible_consumers["ci-quality-slice.yml"]still lists only"Swatinem/rust-cache@". The newauthority_sentineljob addsactions/cache/restore@andactions/cache/save@steps to the same workflow. Forci-web-slice.ymlandci-platform-checks-slice.yml, those same markers are listed and must carryallow_native_github_cache. The sentinel steps must bypass that gate, because the job probes cache authority directly.The exemption is currently implicit. A future change that adds
actions/cache/restore@markers for this workflow would fail on the sentinel step for a reason that is not documented. Add a short comment or an explicit assertion that scopes the gate check to the non-sentinel jobs.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

In @.github/workflows/ci-quality-slice.yml:
- Around line 330-332: Update the authority validation condition in the
endpoint-checking workflow to reject the entire IPv4 127.0.0.0/8 loopback range,
IPv6 loopback forms, and IPv4-mapped IPv6 loopback addresses; preserve valid
non-loopback authorities and add regression cases covering 127.0.0.2 and
IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
In @.github/workflows/depot-canary.yml:
- Around line 338-393: Update attest_cache_endpoint in
.github/workflows/depot-canary.yml at lines 338-393 and 497-556 with identical
grammar changes: accept both http:// and https:// endpoints, skip validation
when an individual ACTIONS_CACHE_URL or ACTIONS_RESULTS_URL variable is absent,
and require at least one of the two variables to be present before proceeding.
Keep the ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN check and endpoint validation behavior otherwise
unchanged.
In `@scripts/tests/test_depot_authority_sentinel.py`:
- Around line 419-432: Replace the HEAD-based workflow comparisons in the depot
authority sentinel test with an explicit expected workflow shape, including job
names and each job’s runs-on expressions, so assertions remain effective after
merge. Remove the git-history dependency and ensure the checks do not fail in
shallow or archive checkouts; update the related baseline_jobs assertion as
well.
