feat: add GitHub App auth and ruleset reconciliation - #89
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds GitHub App authentication for CLI and workflows. It adds confirmation-gated ruleset planning and application, a manual workflow, a sample manifest, installer wiring, documentation, and tests. ChangesAuthentication and governance automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds GitHub App authentication and manual ruleset reconciliation, but current behavior can misreport incomplete App credentials, prevent live project synchronization even when usable credentials exist, and leave repository protections stale or partially applied during concurrent changes or failures. Merge should wait for these bounded functional and security-control risks to be corrected or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In @.github/workflows/rulesets.yml:
- Around line 37-46: Update the workflow step around the rulesets plan/apply
commands to pass the dispatch input through an environment variable named
CONFIRMATION, then use the quoted "$CONFIRMATION" in the project_setup rulesets
apply invocation instead of interpolating inputs.confirmation directly in the
shell script.
In `@config/governance/rulesets.json`:
- Around line 12-14: Update the default ruleset manifest’s bypassActors
configuration to remove the hard-coded maintainers team, leaving it empty unless
the installer explicitly substitutes a validated team after installation.
In `@project_setup/github.py`:
- Around line 160-161: Update the live command handlers, including cmd_apply,
cmd_labels_sync, and cmd_project_create, to resolve repository =
repo_arg(args.repo) before creating the client, then pass that repository to
every require_client or require_project_client call so GitHub App installation
resolution works when PROJECT_SETUP_APP_INSTALLATION_ID is unset.
In `@project_setup/rulesets.py`:
- Line 90: Update the plan ID fingerprint in the planning flow to include the
target repository, each planned action, and each action’s resolved ruleset ID
alongside the desired ruleset data. Ensure confirmation IDs differ across
repositories and when a same-named ruleset changes from create to update, and
add coverage for both drift scenarios.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 15-17: Reconcile the README’s authentication documentation with
the GitHub App flow described near the top: update the Projects v2 setup
sections around the existing PROJECT_SETUP_PAT instructions to support the App
credentials and retain PAT/gh auth only as fallbacks, and remove or revise the
statement near the rulesets documentation that says rulesets are not created.
Ensure the documented boundary clearly distinguishes supported App capabilities
and required permissions without contradicting the explicit plan-and-confirm
ruleset workflow.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Pass the repository to existing CLI client calls.
When PROJECT_SETUP_APP_INSTALLATION_ID is unset, Line 161 requires a repository to resolve the installation. Existing handlers such as cmd_apply, cmd_labels_sync, and cmd_project_create acquire a client before passing --repo to the operation. A local GitHub App user can supply --repo owner/repository and still receive the missing-repository exit.
Resolve repository = repo_arg(args.repo) before client creation, then pass repository to require_client or require_project_client in every live command.

- rulesets.yml: pass workflow_dispatch inputs via env vars instead of interpolating them into the shell (template-injection / CWE-78) - rulesets.py: bind plan-id fingerprint to repo + resolved actions/IDs so a confirmation cannot be reused across repos or after create->update drift - config/governance/rulesets.json: drop hard-coded `maintainers` team from the default template; ship empty bypassActors with a substitution note - cli.py: resolve repository before client creation and pass it to require_client / require_project_client in all live handlers so GitHub App installation resolution works without PROJECT_SETUP_APP_INSTALLATION_ID - README: reconcile GitHub App auth boundary for Projects v2 and drop the obsolete "rulesets are not created" limitation - tests: cover cross-repo confirmation reuse and create-to-update drift Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

103-103: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winUse the same App-configuration predicate as authentication.
PROJECT_SETUP_APP_IDalone does not prove that the GitHub App is usable. The authentication path usesapp_is_configured(), which also verifies the required App credentials. If the private key is missing,cmd_doctorreports the App as configured while authentication cannot use it. Reportapp_is_configured()or identify the missing credential.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

201-201: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winDo not force project synchronization into dry-run for App configuration.
When
PROJECT_SETUP_APP_IDis set, this condition preventscmd_project_syncfrom reachingrequire_project_client. The recommended GitHub App path cannot perform live Projects v2 synchronization. A configuration with both App credentials andPROJECT_SETUP_PATalso cannot use the PAT fallback.require_project_client(repository)already accepts thegithub-appsource and otherwise falls back toPROJECT_SETUP_PAT. Gate this behavior on explicit dry-run or on the absence of a usable project-auth path.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
