fix(ci): support external contributors in Claude workflows - #557
Conversation
Pass the scoped GITHUB_TOKEN explicitly because the Claude OIDC token exchange rejects users without write access. Isolate untrusted issue and pull request input behind pinned write helpers before using pull_request_target.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds validated GitHub mutation helpers and two restricted Claude workflows. The pull request workflow reviews untrusted PR content and posts comments. The issue workflow triages newly opened issues and updates only the triggering issue. ChangesClaude automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The workflows broaden automation to external contributors, but merge readiness depends on confirming that PR content cannot expose the persisted checkout credential. Issue triage also has bounded input-normalization defects that can suppress labels or post blank comments. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 21-31: Update the normalization in the triage-issue script before
validation: trim surrounding whitespace from the input value, collapse
surrounding whitespace around commas for label lists, and then validate the
normalized value so inputs like “bug, priority:high” are accepted. Ensure the
same trimming makes whitespace-only comment bodies fail the existing empty-value
check, while preserving the current label-character validation and error
handling.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Normalize whitespace before validating the label list and the comment body.
Two small gaps exist in the current validation:
- The regex on Line 28 requires the character after each comma to be alphanumeric. A natural model output such as
"bug, priority:high"is rejected, so the labels are never applied. - The
-z $valuecheck on Line 21 accepts a whitespace-only comment body, so the helper can post a blank comment.pr-review-comment.shstrips whitespace for the same check.
Trim the surrounding whitespace and collapse the whitespace around commas before the checks.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
