Conversation
Two attempts at starting the suite from a comment both failed on the same misconception, that one workflow could start another and have the result count. A workflow_dispatch run is dispatched off main, so its check attaches to main's head commit while a required status check is judged against the pull request's head: the suite passed and the pull request stayed blocked. Applying a label instead did nothing at all, because GitHub suppresses runs triggered by events its own GITHUB_TOKEN creates. So the suite now runs in the workflow the comment triggers, and publishes its own result as a commit status on the head SHA it tested. Nothing has to trigger anything, and the status lands where branch protection is looking. This is the shape cloudposse uses for the same problem. Several things go away with it: the run-tests label, the single-use consumption that stopped the label starting a run on reopen, the labeled and ready_for_review triggers, and the separate never-skipped gate job that existed only because a skipped required job counts as successful. The docs-only waiver stays and now publishes the same status context directly. It also gains a property the previous shape did not have. An issue_comment workflow always runs the default branch's copy of itself, so a pull request cannot alter the checks that gate it, and the code under test is checked out explicitly from the merge ref. Branch protection needs no change: the context is still Tests Verified, now written as a status rather than derived from a job name.

CodeRabbit found a pwn request in the previous commit, correctly. An issue_comment workflow holds the full secret set and a write token, unlike the pull_request trigger it replaced, where GitHub withholds both from a fork. So checking out refs/pull/N/merge and running it would have handed a fork's code PROTONVPN_PRIVATE_KEY, the Docker Hub credentials, and a token able to publish a passing Tests Verified status. Moving the suite to a comment trigger is what introduced that, and it was mine to catch. The job now resolves the pull request's head repository alongside its SHA, and stops before the checkout unless that repository is this one, leaving a comment saying why. Only the two API steps that run before the guard see a token at all, and they never touch the pull request's code. PROTONVPN_PRIVATE_KEY and the Docker Hub credentials are scoped to the single steps that use them, both after the guard, and the checkout keeps no credentials of its own. Fork contributions therefore cannot have the suite run for them. A maintainer who wants it pushes the branch into this repository and opens a pull request from there, which is the trade any comment-triggered design has to make. actionlint caught the Docker Hub login testing its secret in `if:`, where the secrets context is unavailable; the check moved into the script. Also qualified a comment claiming a GITHUB_TOKEN can never trigger a workflow, since workflow_dispatch and repository_dispatch are the documented exceptions and are exactly why /run-check still works.

Refusing fork code was an over correction. What made the previous commit
unsafe was one job doing two jobs: deciding whether to run (privileged, needs
statuses: write) and running the contributor's code (untrusted). Separate
those and the pwn request goes away without giving up fork contributions.
So the workflow is three jobs now. gate authorizes the commenter, resolves the
head SHA and writes the pending status, and never checks anything out. suite
checks the merge ref out and runs the stack with contents: read and no
statuses: write, so the code it runs cannot mark its own pull request green.
publish maps the suite's result onto the status, again with no checkout. A
secret reaches suite only when the head branch is in this repository, which
takes write access to push to, so that code is trusted the same way this file
is. A fork gets the credential-free VPN mock and anonymous pulls, which is
exactly what it got under the pull_request trigger this replaced, and covers
the same ground: make test_ci excludes the killswitch tier, the only one that
asserts on a real VPN credential.
Authorization is now an explicit login list rather than author_association,
which is how cloudposse does it. Their shared-access-controller.yml holds a
list of about twenty names on the default branch of a repository no pull
request can touch. It also avoids author_association's COLLABORATOR covering
anyone with any collaborator role, read-only and triage included, which is
wider than "maintainers". A permission API lookup would be self maintaining,
but GET /collaborators/{user}/permission wants push access to answer, so it
would mean carrying and rotating a personal access token to save editing one
line of YAML.
Where cloudposse and this part company is what happens after the gate: they
check the fork's own repository out and run terratest with inherited secrets,
which they can afford because those credentials point at a sandbox account.
The ProtonVPN key here is a real credential, so the job boundary does that
work instead.
Anonymous pulls are the ones that meet Docker Hub's rate limit, so the pull
step retries three times with a growing pause. It is idempotent, so a retry
resumes rather than starting over.
…fecycle Two open review comments. refs/pull/N/merge is recomputed on every push to the pull request, so a push landing between the gate resolving head.sha and the suite checking that ref out would test one commit and stamp another. The suite now reads the merge commit's second parent, which is the pull request's head, and stops if it is not the SHA the status will name. That needs the parents present, hence fetch-depth 2: at depth 1 the merge commit is a shallow boundary and git reports it as having no parents at all. The review asked for .merge_commit_sha to be pinned instead. GitHub computes that field asynchronously, so a single API response can pair a current head.sha with the merge of an older head, which is the same mismatch the other way round. Checking beats trusting here, and the check needs no extra API call. Also documents the Tests Verified lifecycle in one voice, rather than calling it red: absent on a head no run has covered, which reads as waiting and blocks the merge, pending once a run is authorized, then success or failure, or success straight from the docs-only waiver.

The reaction goes on the comment through the issues endpoint, not the pull request one, so pull-requests: read was never enough for it. The call was 403ing and its own `|| true` was swallowing that, which is why nothing ever showed it.
The ubuntu-latest image went from podman 4.9.3 (20260707.563) to 5.8.4 (20260729.566), and podman-compose 1.6.0 hangs in `up --detach` against 5.8.4: it creates and names every container, then never returns, and the step dies on its own timeout with nothing else in the log. Reproduced twice in a row on the same commit, having passed on the older image the night before with the same 1.6.0, so the runtime is the variable and not the code under test. 1.5.0 is what every local bench runs against podman 5.8.4, so that is the combination this project is actually developed on, and it is now the one CI installs. The unpinned install is what let a runner image bump change the answer without anything in the repository changing.

Taking main's copy of pull-request-validation.yml wholesale: #42 moved the integration job out of it into integration-tests.yml, so every hunk this branch had against that job applied to code that no longer exists there. The changes get re-applied where the suite actually lives, in the commits that follow.

Filed linuxserver/docker-sabnzbd#274 as a feature request rather than a bug, because the bug framing is what #240 was closed under, with the fix as #275. The vendored patch is identical to that pull request, so it becomes a no-op if the change ships.

… that matters (#69) * Let the container choose SABnzbd's bind address The 5.0.4 bump on #61 turned the suite red on test_sabnzbd_config_disables_ipv6: the running config read `host = ::` where the seeded ini says `0.0.0.0`. SABnzbd is not the culprit. Its DEF_HOST is 127.0.0.1 and validate_host accepts `0.0.0.0` unchanged. linuxserver's start script is: FAMILY=:: if ! test -f /proc/net/if_inet6; then FAMILY=0.0.0.0; fi exec ... SABnzbd.py --config-file /config --server "$FAMILY" `--server` overrides the config file and SABnzbd persists it back, so our value cannot survive a start. `/proc/net/if_inet6` exists here because gluetun keeps IPv6 sysctls enabled for its own DNS listener, which docs/HARDENING.md already records as deliberate. Reported upstream twice, linuxserver/docker-sabnzbd#116 and #240, and closed NOT_PLANNED as intended: forcing it is what stops someone binding 127.0.0.1 and locking themselves out of the web UI. So the test now accepts either value for `host` and keeps `ipv6_hosting` and `ipv6_servers` asserted strictly. Those two are untouched by `--server` and they are what actually governs IPv6: server selection and the [::1] listener. The bind address was never the control here anyway, since the listener sits in gluetun's namespace, which is assigned no IPv6 address and is firewalled. Rejected: disabling IPv6 in that namespace so the container picks 0.0.0.0, which would break gluetun's DNS listener, and vendoring a custom start script, which is a permanent fork of upstream's launcher to control a value that protects nothing in this topology. * Assert the IPv6 control the compose file actually relies on docker-compose-vpn.yml says IPv6 is left enabled in gluetun's namespace because its DNS server binds [::]:53, and that leaks are prevented by no interface holding an IPv6 address plus gluetun's ip6tables rules. Nothing asserted the first half of that. It is also the property the SABnzbd bind address was standing in for, and the better one to test. The bind address belongs to linuxserver's start script, so asserting it proved only what upstream felt like doing, and a listener on `::` reaches nothing while no IPv6 address exists in the namespace. If a provider ever hands one out inside the tunnel, this fails and the bind address becomes worth arguing about again, which the old test would not have caught. Read from /proc/net/if_inet6 rather than `ip -6 addr`, since the image may not carry iproute2, and only scope 00 counts: link-local and host addresses are not routable. * Make SABnzbd's configured bind address stick Defense in depth for the value the image overwrites. The shipped service script passes `--server ::` on every start, `--server` beats the config file, and SABnzbd persists the override back into sabnzbd.ini, so `host = 0.0.0.0` cannot survive a container start. That is what turned the 5.0.4 bump red. patches/sabnzbd/svc-sabnzbd/run replaces the script and narrows the condition: the family address is still imposed when the configured host is missing or loopback, so nobody can bind 127.0.0.1 and lock themselves out of the web UI, which is the case upstream said it was protecting when it closed #240. A reachable value is left alone. Verified against the decision table: empty, localhost, 127.* and ::1 still get --server, while 0.0.0.0, :: and a LAN address are respected. This is not the control that matters here, and the patch is not load bearing. test_vpn_namespace_has_no_global_ipv6_address asserts the property docker-compose-vpn.yml actually relies on, no interface in gluetun's namespace holding a routable IPv6 address, so the bind address is belt rather than braces and the test still accepts either value. docs/TODO.md carries the condition to check before deleting the patch. The file is a complete GPL-3.0 file from linuxserver/docker-sabnzbd. patches/ README.md records it with its license, which is the per-directory breakdown NOTICE.md already points at. * Read the bind host from the right section The first version grepped the file for `^host` and took the first match. The NNTP server entries under [servers] carry their own unindented `host = ...` line, so a reordered ini would have handed a news server's hostname to --server. Demonstrated: on a file with [servers] before [misc], the old expression returns news.example.net. Section tracking fixes it, verified against four shapes: [misc] first, [servers] first, a loopback value, and no host key at all. The patch now also matches the change being proposed upstream line for line, passing a configured host back through --server rather than dropping the flag, so this file becomes a no-op if linuxserver takes it. * Record the upstream issue and pull request Filed linuxserver/docker-sabnzbd#274 as a feature request rather than a bug, because the bug framing is what #240 was closed under, with the fix as #275. The vendored patch is identical to that pull request, so it becomes a no-op if the change ships.

Why
Two attempts at starting the suite from a comment both failed on the same misconception: that one workflow could start another and have the result count.

The suite now runs in the workflow the comment triggers, and publishes its own result as a commit status on the head SHA it tested. Nothing has to trigger anything, and the status lands exactly where branch protection is looking. This is the shape cloudposse uses for the same problem.
The head SHA is resolved from the PR at run time, because an
issue_commentevent carries none of its own.The security problem this creates, and the shape that solves it
A comment triggered workflow holds the full secret set and a write token, unlike the
pull_requesttrigger it replaces, where GitHub withholds both from a fork. Running a contributor's code in the same job as those is a pwn request. An earlier revision of this branch dealt with that by refusing fork code outright, which was an over correction: it meant a fork could never get its required check green.The real fault was one job doing two jobs. So there are three now, and the split is the boundary:
gatestatuses: write, authorizes the commenter, resolves the head, writespendingsuitecontents: read, nostatuses: writepublishstatuses: write, maps the suite's result onto the statusA fork's code therefore never shares a job with a token that could mark its own pull request green, nor with a secret.
