Summary

Trying an app pull request today means someone has to ask its author for a tagged build. With this change, every same-repo pull request that touches the app or the CLI gets one sticky comment with a link to a tagged dev build of its exact head commit (pr-<number>-<sha8>). Each push edits that comment in place, so the link and SHA always match the current head. Label changes don't repost it, and a failed comment never turns the run red.

The new Dogfood build #<number> job in ci.yml runs after changes, only when changes routes macOS or CLI work, and only for pull requests from this repository. Docs- and web-only pull requests and forks get nothing. It needs only the workflow token and runs in seconds on a Linux runner.

The team's build controller reads this job's success from the webhook feed it already receives, confirms from the signed run event that the pull request is from this repository and at that SHA, then queues a low-priority build that a newer push cancels. This repository only posts the link. The job is not required and is not in ci-status, so a failed comment never blocks a merge.

The build uses production sign-in, so Cloud or backend changes still need a tagged build with a development backend, as the comment says.

Testing

  • actionlint .github/workflows/ci.yml: clean.
  • python3 scripts/verify-local.py: 14 of 15 checks passed, Swift parsing skipped (no Swift changes).
  • tests/test_ci_actionlint_covers_every_workflow.py, tests/test_runner_label_policy.py, tests/test_ci_required_checks_are_bounded.py, tests/test_ci_reusable_workflow_permissions.py: pass.
  • Not yet run live: this pull request changes only a Linux job, so changes routes no macOS work and the new job skips here. The first app pull request after merge is the live check.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Eligible pull requests now receive a comment linking to a development build, labeled with the pull request number and commit. The existing build comment is updated when available.
  • CI
    • Development-build posting is non-blocking, so failures won’t prevent other checks from continuing.

Each same-repo pull request that changes the app or CLI gets one sticky
comment with a link to a tagged dev build of its exact head. The build
controller treats the job's success as the build request and verifies the
pull request before building. The job is not required and not part of
ci-status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow adds a conditional dogfood-build job for qualifying pull requests. The job creates a development-build link tagged with the pull request number and head SHA, then updates or creates a marked bot comment.

Changes

Dogfood build posting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build link and pull-request comment
.github/workflows/ci.yml
Adds a job for qualifying same-repository pull requests when macOS or CLI CI is routed. It uses read-only contents and pull-request write permission, then updates a marked bot comment or creates one with the development-build link.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6f68a

An eligible same-repository PR can change the bot workflow and use its token to alter comments on other PRs. Move the posting job to trusted workflow code before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6f68a

The new job can write to pull requests during eligible same-repository PR runs, while the workflow definition can be changed by those PRs. A failed or racing comment update can also leave a link to an older build. Forks are excluded, but the controller’s safeguards and repository approval settings could not be verified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new default PR job gives its workflow script a pull-request-write token. Its same-repository gate and script are in workflow content that an eligible PR can modify, rather than trusted-base content; the token is not limited to the triggering PR.
  • Low · security · inferred: The one-comment, current-head guarantee is not enforced across failed or overlapping runs: an older write can race a newer one, and concurrent reads can create duplicate comments. A stale link matters because it is presented as the build of the PR’s exact head.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The added token’s pull-request-write authority applies at repository scope, not solely to the comment selected by the current script. Reachability is bounded to eligible same-repository PR runs and any further repository execution policy.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An eligible PR author could alter the PR-version workflow script or gate before it uses the new write token. This is a design-level exposure, not a verified exploit or retained Security finding; existing modifiable privileged CI routes and unknown repository policies limit the base-versus-head conclusion.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The current job checks repository ownership and same-repository PR origin, uses a hosted runner, and issues no checkout step. Those checks constrain its current behavior but are not an independent trusted-base enforcement boundary for edited workflow content.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The comment update is read-then-write without conditional mutation or duplicate cleanup. Cancellation mitigates ordinary push overlap but cannot establish that an already-started older API request finishes first; the controller’s recovery behavior is unknown.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep the write-capable comment operation in trusted-base-controlled workflow logic, with PR identity treated as data; verify the current head before updating the link and define reconciliation for duplicate or stale comments.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The workflow adds user-facing rendered Markdown to pull-request comments in .github/workflows/ci.yml (lines 1669–1675), including English prose such as “Dogfood build,” “The link opens this exact commit,” and the production-sign-in warning. The diff adds no locale-specific source or message entries. This violates the rule for rendered Markdown and user-facing metadata, which requires locale-specific consumption and entries for every locale in web/i18n/routing.ts. The marker and localhost URL are literal operational tokens, but the surrounding copy is new user-facing text.

Resolution

Route the dogfood comment’s user-facing copy through a locale-specific source instead of hard-coding it in the workflow. Add matching translated keys for all supported locales—en, ja, zh-CN, zh-TW, ko, de, es, fr, it, da, pl, ru, bs, ar, no, pt-BR, th, tr, km, and uk—in web/messages/en.json, ja.json, zh-CN.json, zh-TW.json, ko.json, de.json, es.json, fr.json, it.json, da.json, pl.json, ru.json, bs.json, ar.json, no.json, pt-BR.json, th.json, tr.json, km.json, and uk.json. Select the appropriate locale when generating the PR comment, while keeping the marker, tag, and localhost URL unchanged.

CI failure attribution

CI passes on 6f68a3515d (run 36376837727 attempt 1).

Written by scripts/ci/classify_failures.py (ci-failure-attribution.yml); signatures are its SIGNATURES table. A machine verdict is the runner's fault, not this PR's.

The unquoted ` #` started a YAML comment, so the job reported as
"Dogfood build" without its number. Label events no longer re-request a
build, and a failed comment no longer turns the run red.

Move the write-token job to a trusted workflow.

The pull_request workflow is evaluated from the pull request merge commit. A pull request author can change this condition and the inline script before the job runs. pull-requests: write is repository-scoped, so the changed script can modify comments on any pull request in the repository.

Remove this job from ci.yml. Move the fixed controller to a separate base-branch workflow triggered by pull_request_target. Do not check out or execute pull request files in that workflow. Keep any routing calculation in a trusted job with read-only permissions.
