Replace the static comment-pending + comment-results two-job pattern
with a live-updating comment system that polls the GitHub Actions API
every 15s, re-assembles the review comment from whatever results are
available, and upserts it via the <!-- hermes-ci-review-bot --> marker.
The comment updates in real time as each job finishes — no waiting for
the full pipeline.
Every CI job that wants to appear in the review comment emits a
review_status output — a JSON array of objects, each with a source
and a results array:
[
{
"source": "review-label-gate",
"results": [
{"kind": "action_required", "title": "...", "summary": "...",
"how_to_fix": "..."},
{"kind": "info", "title": "...", "summary": "..."}
]
},
{
"source": "ci timing",
"results": [
{"kind": "warning", "title": "CI timings", "summary": "...",
"detail": "...", "link": "..."}
]
}
]
One job can emit multiple results of different kinds. The source field
is used to exclude the corresponding job from the synthesized error
list (case-insensitive, hyphen-normalized matching against GitHub
Actions job display names).
| job | source | kind (on failure) | section |
|----------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------|
| review-labels | review label gate | action_required / info | Action required |
| lockfile-diff | lockfile-diff | action_required | Action required |
| ci-timings | ci timing | warning / info | Warnings |
| supply-chain scan | supply chain | error / (none) | Job failures |
| supply-chain dep-bounds | supply chain | action_required / (none) | Action required |
| osv-scanner | osv scan | warning / (none) | Warnings |
| uv-lockfile-check | uv.lock check | action_required / (none) | Action required |
| history-check | unrelated histories | action_required | Action required |
| contributor-check | contributor attribution | action_required | Action required |
Jobs that find nothing emit [] (empty array) — no noise info items.
A single comment-live job polls the GitHub Actions API every 15s,
classifies jobs into (completed, pending), assembles the comment, and
upserts it. Merges review_status outputs from all needs jobs via
toJSON(needs.*.outputs.review_status), and downloads the ci-timings
artifact when it becomes available. Shows commit SHA + message below
the header.
The assembler has ZERO job-specific knowledge. It just:
1. collect_from_statuses() — flattens all nested status objects into ReviewItems
2. collect_failed_jobs() — synthesizes errors for failed jobs with no declared status
3. _attach_job_urls() — fills in per-job log links for ALL items
4. render_comment() — groups by severity, renders with group headers
Each item shows links inline next to the title: View report (job-emitted
URL) and View job (auto-attached logs link). Each info item is its own
collapsible <details> block.

ci: centralize path-gating behind single orchestrator + all-checks-pass
gate
Replace the scattered per-workflow detect-changes pattern with a single
ci.yml orchestrator that runs the classifier once, then conditionally
calls sub-workflows via workflow_call based on lane outputs. A final
all-checks-pass job (if: always()) aggregates all results so branch
protection only needs to require one check.
Changes:
- New .github/workflows/ci.yml orchestrator (detect + conditional calls
+ all-checks-pass gate)
- Extend classify_changes.py with scan/deps/mcp_catalog lanes, absorbing
supply-chain-audit's internal changes job
- Update detect-changes/action.yml to expose the new lane outputs
- Convert all 10 PR-gated sub-workflows to workflow_call-only triggers,
removing their push/pull_request triggers and per-step detect-changes
guards (gating now happens at the orchestrator level)
- lint.yml + supply-chain-audit.yml receive event_name as a
workflow_call
input to replace github.event_name (which is "workflow_call" inside
called workflows)
- supply-chain-audit.yml: remove internal changes job + *-gate jobs
(orchestrator handles gating, booleans arrive as inputs)
- contributor-check.yml: remove internal filter step
- Update test_classify_changes.py for 6-lane output + new supply-chain
test cases
Consolidate per-package package-lock.json files into a single root-level
workspace lockfile. Update all consumers:
- Nix: shared src/npmDeps/npmDepsHash in lib.nix; devshell hook stamps
package.json paths then runs npm ci from root; individual .nix files
use mkNpmPassthru attrs instead of per-package fetchNpmDeps.
- Python CLI: new _workspace_root() helper so _tui_need_npm_install,
_make_tui_argv, _build_web_ui resolve lockfile/node_modules from the
workspace root.
- Desktop: replace --force-build/mtime heuristic with content-hash build
stamp (_compute_desktop_content_hash via pathspec). Remove --force-build
flag.
- Dockerfile: single root npm install; no per-directory lockfile copies.
- CI: nix-lockfile-fix and osv-scanner reference root package-lock.json;
apps/dashboard → apps/desktop.
- Tests: new test_tui_npm_install.py; desktop stamp tests in
test_gui_command.py; updated assertions in test_cmd_update.py,
test_web_ui_build.py, test_dockerfile_pid1_reaping.py.
- Docs: remove --force-build from desktop flag table.
Deleted: apps/desktop/package-lock.json, ui-tui/package-lock.json,
ui-tui/packages/hermes-ink/package-lock.json, web/package-lock.json.
Adds two supply-chain controls that complement our existing pinning
strategy (full-SHA action pins, exact-version source dep pins via
uv.lock / package-lock.json) without undermining it.
.github/workflows/osv-scanner.yml
Detection-only scan of uv.lock and the ui-tui/website package-locks
against the OSV vulnerability database. Runs on PRs that touch
lockfiles, on push to main, and weekly against main so CVEs
published after merge still surface. Uses Google's officially-
recommended reusable workflow pinned by full SHA (v2.3.5).
Findings upload to the Security tab; fail-on-vuln is disabled so
pre-existing vulns in pinned deps do not block merges — we move
pins deliberately, not under CI pressure.
.github/dependabot.yml
Scoped to github-actions only. Action pins must be moved when
upstream publishes patches (often themselves security fixes);
Dependabot opens a PR with the new SHA + release notes for normal
review. Source-dependency ecosystems (pip, npm) are deliberately
NOT enabled — automatic version-bump PRs against uv.lock /
package-lock.json would fight our pinning strategy. CVE-driven
security updates for source deps are enabled separately via the
repo's Dependabot security updates setting (GitHub UI), which
fires only when a pinned version becomes known-vulnerable.
