@kratsg one comment / suggested change that I want your approval on, but then this is good to do.
Adds the switcher.json with all stable releases and configures html_theme_options to use the PyData version switcher widget and version warning banner (shown when browsing non-stable docs). Closes #2516 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Remove the hand-rolled dev-version warning (raw HTML in index.rst and citations.rst, JS detection in custom.js, and CSS in custom.css) now that show_version_warning_banner from PyData Sphinx Theme covers the same use case. Also exempt switcher.json from the docs/_*/ gitignore rule so force-add is not needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

PyData Sphinx Theme show_version_warning_banner compare-versions switcher preferred version_match source
💡 Result:
The PyData Sphinx Theme provides a built-in mechanism to display a version warning banner, which alerts users when they are viewing a version of the documentation other than the latest stable release [1][2]. To implement this feature, you must configure the following in your conf.py and provide a valid version switcher JSON file [1][2]. 1. Enable the banner: Set "show_version_warning_banner": True within html_theme_options in your conf.py [1][2]. 2. Version Switcher Configuration: This feature relies on the version switcher defined in html_theme_options. This includes a switcher dictionary containing: - json_url: The persistent location of your versions.json file [3][4]. - version_match: A string indicating the version currently being viewed [3][4]. This is typically set using Sphinx variables like version or release [3][4]. 3. JSON Requirements: For the warning banner to function correctly, your versions.json file must meet these criteria: - Preferred Version: Exactly one entry in the JSON must have "preferred": true [1][2]. This identifies the latest stable version. - Version Comparison: All entries must have a "version" property that is parsable by the compare-versions node module (e.g., standard semantic versioning strings) [1][2]. When enabled, the theme compares the current version (defined by version_match) against the preferred version [1][2]. If the current version is older, the banner informs the user and provides a link to the preferred version [1][2]. If the version is newer or contains strings like "dev", "rc", or "pre", the banner indicates that an unstable development version is being viewed [1][2]. To keep the banner visible at the top of the viewport while scrolling, you can use the "sticky_banners": True option in your html_theme_options [2][5]. Note that in older versions of the theme, this specific setting may have been named "sticky_version_warning_banner" [1][5].

GitHub Actions pull_request fork workflow checkout untrusted code read-only GITHUB_TOKEN security documentation
💡 Result:
When handling pull requests from forks in GitHub Actions, security is managed by distinguishing between "unprivileged" (pull_request) and "privileged" (pull_request_target) contexts [1][2]. Standard pull_request Workflows Workflows triggered by the pull_request event are considered unprivileged [1][2]. Because the workflow code is pulled from the untrusted fork's branch, GitHub automatically applies the following security restrictions [3]: - GITHUB_TOKEN: The token is automatically downgraded to read-only permissions, regardless of any explicit permissions defined in the workflow file [4]. - Secrets: These workflows have no access to repository secrets [5][2]. - Risk Mitigation: Because the workflow runs in an unprivileged context, it is safe to check out the untrusted fork code [3][1]. Privileged pull_request_target Workflows The pull_request_target event is designed for automation that needs elevated privileges (e.g., labeling or triage) while interacting with pull requests from forks [3]. - Context: These workflows run using the workflow file and context of the base repository's default branch, making them privileged [3][1]. - Security Risk: If a workflow checks out and executes code from the untrusted fork in this privileged context, it creates a "pwn request" vulnerability, where the attacker's code gains access to the repository's secrets and a writable GITHUB_TOKEN [6][2]. - Checkout Protections: As of June 2026, the actions/checkout action (v7+) prevents checking out fork pull request code in pull_request_target and workflow_run workflows by default [6][7][8]. If a specific, advanced use case requires this, you must explicitly opt in by setting allow-unsafe-pr-checkout: true, which should only be done after a thorough security review [6][7]. Best Practices for Security 1. Use the least privilege principle for the GITHUB_TOKEN by explicitly defining permissions blocks [3][9]. 2. Avoid using pull_request_target for tasks that do not strictly require elevated privileges [1][2]. 3. For workflows needing both access to secrets/write-tokens and processing of untrusted fork code, use a two-step approach [4][1]: - Step 1: Use a standard pull_request workflow to process the untrusted code and generate artifacts (unprivileged) [4][1]. - Step 2: Use a workflow_run workflow to consume those artifacts and perform privileged tasks (e.g., posting comments or merging) using the repository's secrets [4][1].

Addresses the bot review findings on PR #2694. Restrict the requests to https://pyhf.readthedocs.io. The docs workflow runs on 'pull_request' and checks out the pull request's own contents, so a fork could edit switcher.json and have CI issue requests to an arbitrary address. Validate the scheme and host up front, enforce it again at the call site so the guarantee does not depend on the caller, and refuse redirects that leave the host. The host is compared for equality rather than by suffix, so 'pyhf.readthedocs.io.example.com' is rejected. This also resolves the CodeFactor report of bandit B310, and catches a relative or mistyped URL, which the theme cannot use for a cross-version link. Validate value types before touching the network. Only key presence was checked, so a JSON list as a 'version' reached 'Counter' and raised 'TypeError: unhashable type', and a non-string 'url' reached 'urllib.request.Request', in both cases printing a traceback instead of a validation error. Require non-empty strings for 'name', 'version' and 'url', and a real boolean for 'preferred'. Structural checks now short circuit the URL checks, so a malformed file cannot steer the requests or crash part way through. Retry transient responses. Every HTTPError was treated as final, so a single 429 or 5xx from Read the Docs failed the docs job even though the retry loop existed. Retry 429 and 5xx with a linear backoff and keep failing immediately on any other 4xx, which is a permanent answer about the URL being checked. Verified with 18 cases covering each of these, and with unit checks that 429 and 503 are retried while 404 and 403 are not. Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5[1m]

Actually, I don't think we want to have the PyData Sphinx Theme version switcher enabled at all, as the ReadTheDocs website (https://pyhf.readthedocs.io/) has its own working version switcher from ReadTheDocs (c.f. #2513 (comment)) and the GitHub Pages website (https://scikit-hep.org/pyhf/) is always going to be the development version as it is deployed from the HEAD of main.
So we don't want for there to be a version switcher there, we just want to retain a banner notifying people they are on a development version. Though ideally we want to do this without still needing the docs/_static/css/custom.css.
Read the Docs serves every version and provides its own version switcher and its
own notification for non-default versions, so pyhf does not need to maintain a
second one. The only deployment that needs to say something for itself is GitHub
Pages, which is published from the default branch and so is always the
development version.
Remove the version switcher and everything supporting it: switcher.json, the
switcher and banner entries in html_theme_options, the CI job and script that
validated the file, and the release checklist steps for keeping it current.
Dropping the 'navbar_end' override also restores the theme's light and dark mode
toggle, which overriding that option had removed.
The theme's 'show_version_warning_banner' cannot replace it, because
'fetchAndUseVersions' only renders that banner when a switcher 'json_url' is
configured:
if (hasVersionsJSON && (hasSwitcherMenu || wantsWarningBanner)) {
Use the theme's 'announcement' option instead, set only when READTHEDOCS is not
in the environment. A local, non-URL value is rendered into the page by the
theme's own template, so this needs no JavaScript and no stylesheet of ours, and
'docs/_static/css/custom.css' goes away with its 'html_css_files' entry.
The 'post_checkout' tag fetch stays. It is no longer needed for a version
comparison, but without it hatch-vcs falls back to "0.1.dev50" and the published
documentation for a release reports itself as that version, so the comment is
reworded to stand on its own.
Verified by building both ways: with READTHEDOCS unset the banner is present in
the page as HTML, and with READTHEDOCS=True it is absent.
Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5[1m]
Gating only on READTHEDOCS meant the announcement covered the GitHub Pages deployment and local builds but not Read the Docs' own "latest", which is built from the default branch and is just as much the development version. Read the Docs was left to speak for itself on the assumption that its notification addon covers this. It does not. Measured against the live site, the 'readthedocs-notification' element is present but renders empty at zero height on both /en/latest/ and /en/v0.7.0/, while the flyout does carry the version list. So the version switcher works, as expected, but nothing marks "latest" as development. Extend the condition to Read the Docs' "latest" and to its pull request previews, which set READTHEDOCS_VERSION to the pull request number. Builds of "stable" and of a release tag stay silent. Reword the text so it reads correctly when the reader is already on readthedocs.io. The link stays the bare URL, which redirects to the most recent release and so lands on that release's own versioned URL rather than an alias. Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5[1m]

The main branch warned readers of the Use and Citations page not to cite a development version. That warning was raw HTML gated by custom.js, both of which this branch removes, and the top of page announcement does not replace it: it says the docs are for a development version but nothing about citation, so a reader arriving at citations.html from a search engine would copy the BibTeX entry with no indication that it is the wrong one to cite. Put it back with sphinx.ext.ifconfig, which is already an enabled extension, so it is resolved when the docs are built rather than by JavaScript in the browser, and rendered as a normal warning admonition so it needs no stylesheet. The gate is the same 'is_development_build' used for the announcement, now registered as a config value so the two cannot drift apart. This is also a slightly wider gate than before. custom.js only added the warning when the URL contained 'scikit-hep.org/pyhf', so it never appeared on Read the Docs, including on 'latest', which is a development version too. Verified by building both ways: the warning is present on a development build and absent on a release build. Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5[1m]
