Promote Develop to Main

[ptr727]

Summary

Promote the current operational develop snapshot to main through a signed merge commit on a
throwaway branch.

This promotion includes the hub resync (#115): carried fleet content re-vendored against the
current hub, five hub-only files retired, the .github/skills/ tree carried, and six accumulated
Dependabot actions-deps bumps.

Fixes #114: the resync carries the hub's full .editorconfig template, including the
*.bat/*.cmd CRLF exception that was blocking #108's Validate sources job / Lint sources job
check on main. #108 needs its own review re-request once this lands, since its CI ran against
the pre-fix .editorconfig.

Conflict resolution

The direct develop-to-main promotion conflicts in .github/workflows/merge-bot-pull-request.yml,
publish-release.yml, and test-pull-request.yml: Dependabot independently bumped the same
pinned hub-workflow SHA on both branches (main to 2.0.380, develop to 2.0.483, confirmed
2.0.380 is an ancestor of 2.0.483). The throwaway branch starts at current main, merges current
develop, and resolves all three files with the develop version (the strictly newer pin).

• main parent: aa192d213a95d4d507ede71b9e6be02fe99ec44f
• develop parent: cc261d5c6ca87336698f84fcea90ec36ad7aff98
• signed merge commit: 4d99f77c86fbcf3554de360dd7e65f46dc2f9291
• keep develop; never delete it

Closes #114

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2a8b2

This promotion carries new operational guidance and automation behavior, but the current head can allow incomplete linting, expose temporary contents to local users, execute mutable remote hook content, dispatch releases from malformed configuration, and merge changes without current-head review coverage. These security and release-integrity risks make the PR not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners.

High-Level Assessment

The signed throwaway-branch merge is the appropriate promotion strategy because it preserves both branch parents while resolving the three independently advanced workflow pins to the strictly newer develop versions. A direct merge remains conflict-blocked, while rebasing or cherry-picking would weaken the snapshot-promotion history and signed merge provenance.

Description

The added paragraph prescribes review-wait, retry, and effort-setting behavior directly in
.github/copilot-instructions.md. These detailed collaboration rules are not defined in the owning
WORKFLOW.md, so the file exceeds the allowed pointer-only or non-authoritative-summary role.

Code

.github/copilot-instructions.md[51]

+Review effort is user-controlled. The automation observes `Lite`, `Balanced`, or `Max`, including an inherited `Default (<level>)`, and never selects or changes the setting. Effort does not determine coverage or completion. A request can complete without a `copilot_work_started` event, so absence of that event is not a stalled-review verdict. When `wait` returns `PENDING` with `requested=yes`, report the state and rerun `wait` for another bounded interval by default. Do not clear the request automatically because it may be active. If the maintainer directs a retry, remove Copilot in the pull request UI, add it again, and rerun `wait`. This recovery replaces only the review request and never changes the effort setting.

🟢 Approval recommended

The changes consistently align main with the already-described hub resync/promotion intent, remove retired local baselines without leaving references behind, and apply the newer workflow pins plus the .editorconfig fix that unblocks the EOL gate.

Pull request overview

Promotes the current operational develop snapshot to main, bringing main up to date with the hub-resynced fleet baseline (including the expanded .editorconfig that unblocks the EOL gate) and reconciling the pinned hub workflow SHAs by taking the newer develop versions.

Changes:

• Carry the full hub .editorconfig template (including the *.{bat,cmd} CRLF exception) and refresh carried governance/operations/audit guidance to the hub’s current model.
• Retire repo-local repo-config/ payloads and spec/secrets.json in favor of hub-hosted checks (repo-config/configure.sh check, spec/audit.py).
• Update workflow reusable-workflow pins to the newer ptr727/ProjectTemplate commit (# 2.0.483) across CI entrypoints.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Several carried docs now reference hub-only paths (for example registry/repos.json and catalog/snippets/) without clearly qualifying them as hub-only, making the guidance non-actionable in this repo.

Review details

Suppressed comments (3)

Previously missed (3) — in code that hasn't changed since the last review.

WORKFLOW.md:152

• WORKFLOW.md now references registry/repos.json, but that path does not exist in this repository, so the guidance is not actionable for downstream readers. Rephrase to avoid a repo-local path and instead refer to the repo’s hub registry entry (or otherwise clarify the source).
  CODESTYLE.md:21
• This section references catalog/snippets/, but that directory is not present in this repository. Clarify that the canonical hook configs live in the hub’s catalog (or point to a path that exists in this repo) so readers can actually find them.
  GOVERNANCE.md:289
• This paragraph names registry/repos.json and repo-config/configure.sh apply, but neither path exists in this repository. Either qualify them as hub-only paths (run from a hub checkout) or rephrase to avoid implying they are repo-local.

In @.github/skills/merge-and-release/SKILL.md:
- Around line 69-75: Update the releaseTrigger handling in the merge-and-release
instructions to allow dispatch only for supported values: two-phase,
dispatch-only, and publish-on-merge. Treat null, empty, unsupported values, and
none as non-dispatching outcomes, and ensure gh workflow run is never reached
for invalid registry data.
- Line 58: Update both merge commands in
.github/skills/merge-and-release/SKILL.md at line 58 and
.github/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md at line 65 to capture the Merge Gate’s
headRefOid and pass it via --match-head-commit, ensuring merges fail if the PR
head changes after validation.

Apply the same fix in @.github/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md at line 65: The same
captured-head and missing-match enforcement issue applies to the squash merge
procedure.

In @.github/skills/python-codestyle/references/testing.md:
- Around line 3-5: Update the lint-only Scripts profile testing summary in
references/profiles.md to include the required scoped discovery command with -s
<scripts-dir>/tests, while preserving the existing unittest and coverage
conventions.

In @.github/skills/python-codestyle/SKILL.md:
- Around line 90-97: Update the clean-compile documentation to distinguish the
local mutating uv run ruff format step from CI’s non-mutating uv run ruff format
--check gate. Revise the final CI statement so it does not claim CI runs the
same clean-compile commands or imply that CI should run the formatter.
- Around line 170-174: Align the lint-only CI contract in the profile
documentation with the reusable validate-task workflow: document the actual uvx
pyright@latest and pytest behavior, including the skipped pytest condition, and
remove the unsupported uvx mypy and unittest requirements unless the workflow is
explicitly updated to run them.

In @.github/skills/shell-codestyle/SKILL.md:
- Around line 6-8: Update the shell-codestyle guidance to restrict the non-POSIX
-E requirement to Bash scripts only; for extensionless scripts, distinguish Bash
shebangs from POSIX sh scripts and provide a POSIX-safe rule for the latter
without requiring -E.

In `@AUDIT.md`:
- Around line 27-29: Update the audit documentation around the repo-config check
command so it does not claim exact-ruleset validation that the command does not
perform. Attribute duplicate and stray-ruleset assertions to spec/audit.py
ESPHome-Config, or extend the hub check with equivalent validation while
preserving its existing behavior.

In `@GOVERNANCE.md`:
- Line 238: Update the pre-commit hook guidance around the hook’s diff-scoped
prose gates to evaluate the staged index snapshot rather than the working tree,
or explicitly reject files whose staged and working-tree contents differ.
Preserve whole-tree validation in CI as the final backstop.
- Line 239: Update the documented hook behavior around the “doc gates” and
hub-fetch-run.py so commit hooks never fetch and execute mutable scripts from
the ProjectTemplate main branch. Make the hooks execute reviewed local copies,
or fetch the scripts from a reviewed immutable commit or digest with
verification before execution, while preserving the existing fail-closed
behavior.

In `@OPERATIONS.md`:
- Around line 488-490: Update the lint snapshot procedure around lint_root to
retain restrictive temporary-directory permissions instead of making copied
files readable by all users, and add an exit trap that removes lint_root on both
successful completion and early failure.
- Line 491: Remove the unrestricted direct docker run example and require the
shared lint-container wrapper, or document an equivalent invocation that
explicitly disables networking with --network=none and enforces a command
timeout. Update the lint-container documentation around the shown invocation
while preserving the existing read-only workdir mount and argument behavior.
- Line 493: Update scripts/docker_lint.py to support linting a copied snapshot
without requiring .git metadata, accepting an explicit snapshot or file manifest
for file discovery; then update the documented docker_lint.py invocation to pass
that support for the copied snapshot. Do not restore or rely on a live-checkout
mount, and preserve normal repository-based discovery when no snapshot or
manifest is supplied.

In `@WORKFLOW.md`:
- Line 152: Remove the reference to the hub's spec/secrets.json typeMechanisms
mapping from rule D1.6 in WORKFLOW.md, keeping the coverage requirements and
repository-local exceptions intact.

🟢 Approval recommended

The promotion aligns main with the verified hub resync snapshot (including corrected .editorconfig and workflow pins) and removes retired local artifacts without leaving dangling in-repo references.

🔵 Needs a closer look

It is a large promotion touching CI workflow pins and multiple governance/runbook contracts, so it warrants final human review despite no concrete defects found in this pass.

Re the 3 suppressed findings on WORKFLOW.md:152, CODESTYLE.md:21, and GOVERNANCE.md:289 (registry/repos.json, catalog/snippets/, and repo-config/configure.sh apply named without qualifying them as hub-only paths): all hub-owned verbatim-carried content, not this repo's to fix. WORKFLOW.md:152 is filed upstream as ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1092 (item 8). CODESTYLE.md:21's catalog/snippets/ reference was already addressed on #115: it's the comment-and-doc-style skill's hub-hosted-tool exception (a reference snippet the reader copies from a hub checkout), not a local path claim. GOVERNANCE.md:289 is the same shape as WORKFLOW.md:152 (repo-config/configure.sh apply is an instruction the reader runs from a hub checkout, but registry/repos.json alongside it is a bare data-file mention with no exception covering it) - adding it to #1092 as a follow-up item.

Include requiredSecrets in the audit source description

This paragraph lists only publish[] and types[] as inputs. The hub audit also adds the registry entry's requiredSecrets to the required set, while spec/secrets.json supplies baseline and mechanism rules. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

State all registry inputs so an auditor does not omit repository-specific required secrets.

- Line 491: Update the lint snapshot pipeline in the documented recipe to fail
closed by enabling set -euo pipefail before the git ls-files and tar stages, or
explicitly checking the pipeline status before invoking Docker; ensure Docker is
not run when any snapshot-building stage fails.
- Line 492: Update the lint snapshot permission command near chmod -R o+rX
"$lint_root" to avoid granting world-readable and directory-traverse access.
Restrict permissions to the linter’s required UID or group while preserving the
existing cleanup behavior.

🔵 Needs a closer look

It is a large promotion/resync touching governance docs, skills, workflow pins, and config baselines, so it needs final human verification of intent and downstream CI behavior.
