Summary

  • remove the impossible ambient shell ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN precheck while preserving strict dual-endpoint attestation
  • prove the PR Node credential/write path by saving, clearing local state, and fully restoring the exact poison key with miss-as-error and exact marker validation
  • document the runner Node-action credential boundary and retain trusted-main cross-scope verification

Validation

  • just ci-validate (460 tests, 7 skipped)
  • focused sentinel/canary/cache contract tests
  • actionlint
  • embedded Bash syntax checks
  • git diff --check

Security posture

This remains fail closed. PR Depot runners stay disabled unless the protected sentinel protocol completes successfully; strict HTTP, non-GitHub, non-loopback, numeric-port, explicit-path endpoint attestation is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR removes ambient ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN requirements from cache endpoint attestation. Pinned cache actions now provide credentials. Protected PR probes restore poison markers and validate cache hits and exact marker contents.

Changes

Cache attestation flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Token-free endpoint attestation
.github/workflows/ci-quality-slice.yml, .github/workflows/depot-canary.yml, ci/DEPOT_MIGRATION.md
Endpoint checks no longer require ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN after validating cache URL structure. Pinned cache actions prove credential access through restore and save operations.
Poison-marker cache proof
.github/workflows/ci-quality-slice.yml, .omo/specs/pr-ci-optimization.md, ci/DEPOT_MIGRATION.md, ci/ci.md, .agents/skills/manage-ci/references/current-inventory.md
Protected PR probes clear local markers, restore saved poison keys, require cache hits, and validate exact marker bytes before trusted-seed decisions.
Attestation test coverage
scripts/tests/test_depot_authority_sentinel.py, scripts/tests/test_depot_canary_workflow.py
Tests verify token-free attestation, restore ordering, cache-hit requirements, and marker validation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e9d77

The PR changes CI sentinel validation and related documentation without a supplied concrete runtime, security, or availability defect. A bounded documentation follow-up remains for an incomplete sentinel-input description, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness.

- Around line 278-280: Complete the input-binding sentence in the spec text so
it explicitly states that the manual inputs bind to both the configured sentinel
ID and the exact merge ref described in the preceding sentence. Update the
surrounding wording near the existing runner/ipaddress and PR probe sentence
fragment to read as one coherent sentence without changing the established
binding behavior.
