From 64547f761869c80e507daa6bb73befde8f0b79ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pieter Viljoen Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:52:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Name configure.sh's Hub Path in Every repo-config README Invocation (#1006) Fixes #747 `repo-config/README.md` named `configure.sh` bare in several invocations, contradicting `GOVERNANCE.md` "Hub-Hosted Tooling", which requires naming a hub-hosted tool by its path in the checkout and naming the target explicitly. Every invocation that runs `apply` or `check` now reads `repo-config/configure.sh owner/repo release|operational`, matching the convention already used in `OPERATIONS.md`, `AUDIT.md`, `STANDUP.md`, and `RESYNC.md`. The one bare `` `configure.sh`: `` mention left unchanged is the bullet's defining term rather than an invocation, immediately followed by "run from a hub checkout at `main`", matching the leniency the issue itself calls out for a mention that names the file rather than invokes it. Re-verified against the current hub tip rather than the older commit the issue was filed against: the deliberate hazard example the issue also asked to fix (a bare `check operational` with no target) is no longer present in the current file, so no separate fix was needed there. ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Clarified commands by requiring an explicit configuration script path and target repository. - Documented hub-relative payload resolution and registry-based model defaults. - Expanded repository settings guidance, including validation, Dependabot features, and rulesets. --- repo-config/README.md | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/repo-config/README.md b/repo-config/README.md index d6f5e451..a0ad6e41 100644 --- a/repo-config/README.md +++ b/repo-config/README.md @@ -2,8 +2,8 @@ Hub-only repository and branch configuration held as committed files, kept out of `.github/` (which holds the GitHub-consumed configuration: workflows, Dependabot).

From fc1ac3231a0dbcee1ec266db181b0c46c2809cdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pieter Viljoen Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:54:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Fail Closed on Swallowed Host-Setup Precondition-Check Failures (#1007) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Summary Five `host-setup/` sites converted a precondition-check failure into an empty or apparently-safe result with `|| true` or `2>/dev/null`, then proceeded into a download, package install, sudoers-file write, or release upgrade as if the check had passed. This is a recurring CodeRabbit finding, raised across PR #951 and PR #952 and correctly declined both times as pre-existing and out of scope for those PRs. Per `pr-review-conduct`'s outcome 5 ("keeps recurring, so fix the class, not the instance"), this PR fixes the class. ## Per-site disposition Four sites now distinguish "the check ran and legitimately found nothing" from "the check itself failed to run," and fail closed before the mutation they guard: - `host-setup/linux/install-tools.sh` `apt_install_displacing()`: a failed `apt-get -s install` simulation now aborts instead of reading as "no removals" before the real install runs. - `host-setup/linux/install-tools.sh` sudoers scan: `grep` exit 1 (no matches, the ordinary case) still proceeds; any higher exit now aborts before writing or deleting sudoers files. - `host-setup/linux/upgrade-host.sh` `release_preconditions()`: a `dpkg --audit` that fails to run now aborts instead of reading as "no half-configured packages" before the release upgrade. - `host-setup/linux/upgrade-host.sh` `upgradable_count()`: this one only ever backs a `--status` report line, nothing downstream mutates on the strength of it, so a failed `apt list` now reports "unknown" rather than a misleading `0`. `host-setup/bootstrap.sh` `resolve_ref()` stays lenient, now with an inline comment explaining why: it gates no mutation. `download_tree` falls back to fetching `$REF` by name when resolution fails, exactly as it would if `resolve_ref` did not exist, and it has its own `die` on a real download failure. ## Verification - Docker-based `shellcheck` (`koalaman/shellcheck:stable`) and `shfmt -d`: both clean on the three changed files, and via `scripts/docker_lint.py --linter shellcheck --linter shfmt --linter cspell` across the whole repo. - `python3 -m unittest scripts.tests.test_bootstrap scripts.tests.test_host_gate`: 104 tests, all pass. - Live-exercised each fixed function's logic on this Linux host (real run plus a simulated-failure case for each), confirming the real case is unaffected and the simulated failure now fails closed rather than silently proceeding.
