The current shared test workflow fails during Composer Audit because phpro/grumphp-shim is blocked by the repository's allow-plugins policy. The failure happens before PHPUnit runs: https://github.com/php-fast-forward/http-client/actions/runs/37701358717/job/113065345169.

This caller change enables the required per-version commit statuses and supplies contents: read, actions: read, and statuses: write for the isolated publisher introduced by php-fast-forward/dev-tools#362. Dependabot runs do not request status publication. Unneeded contents/pages/id-token write permissions are removed.

The plugin-free Composer Audit and dependency-health corrections live in php-fast-forward/dev-tools#362. This PR is the repository-specific companion, separate from the Dash artwork PR #1. Merge the actions-read-only compatibility PRs config#5, enum#6 and framework#10 first, then dev-tools#362, and only then this caller. This prevents granting a status-write token to the old test implementation. Until the shared correction reaches main, this PR's checks still reproduce the Composer failure.

The standalone test-statuses.yml lifecycle workflow supplies Dependabot statuses from the default branch. It accepts same-repository Dependabot push requests, starts and completions; revalidates repository, source SHA, workflow path/name/ID and attempt through the GitHub API; and rejects stale runs and attempts. Current active attempts receive pending statuses, including reruns. Completed attempts publish actual conclusions only after all three jobs validate. Delayed start events read fresh API state and cannot overwrite a completed result with pending. It has no checkout, artifact/cache download, dependency installation or caller-code execution. This repository requires the bare PHP 8.3/8.4/8.5 statuses; pull-request merge runs and fork PRs are excluded. The copy matches the central resource in dev-tools#362 and becomes active only on the default branch.

The final lifecycle publisher passed 130 scenarios / 1,130 assertions on each of PHP 8.4 and 8.5 (260 executions / 2,260 assertions total). Verified failed/canceled runs with no matrix receive terminal failures; full reruns cannot reuse old successes after a failed resolver; legitimate partial/dependency-only retries retain prior tests. Extra observed PHP versions are rejected and Run metadata is rechecked before each POST. The canonical template is now optional under resources/github-actions-optional, so dev-tools:sync does not install it in incompatible customized consumers. The configured complete version list is explicit for these twelve audited repositories. Actual API contracts were confirmed. Real lifecycle publication remains pending default-branch installation.

Validation: actionlint and git diff --check pass. The publisher permission contract was also tested in real GitHub Actions: the same pinned reusable workflow with actions: none fails at startup (https://github.com/php-fast-forward/dev-tools/actions/runs/37701792651), while actions: read succeeds (https://github.com/php-fast-forward/dev-tools/actions/runs/37702214640). No package code, dependency allowlist, or branch protection is changed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated automated test checks to use narrower permissions. Dependency update runs no longer publish required statuses through the reusable test workflow; other runs continue to do so.
    • Added status reporting for dependency update test runs in the current repository. Checks now report pending status while running and success or failure when complete, with safeguards against outdated or invalid run results. These changes affect automated checks and do not alter app functionality.

Walkthrough

The test workflow now grants read access to contents and actions and write access to statuses. It sets required status publishing based on the actor. A new workflow validates eligible Dependabot test runs and publishes per-PHP-version statuses for pending and completed runs.

Changes

Dependabot test status publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow setup
.github/workflows/tests.yml, .github/workflows/test-statuses.yml
The test workflow updates its permissions and sets publish-required-statuses to false for Dependabot and true for other actors. The new workflow handles eligible Dependabot test-suite runs with per-SHA concurrency and limited permissions.
Run identity and lifecycle validation
.github/workflows/test-statuses.yml
The workflow validates event inputs and run metadata, detects superseded runs, and publishes pending statuses for current non-completed runs.
Matrix result resolution and publication
.github/workflows/test-statuses.yml
The workflow resolves per-version results from test and control jobs, validates the results, rechecks the source run, and publishes success or failure statuses.

Dependabot status publication mostly works. However, some rerun or dispatch timings can leave required checks stuck in pending until someone reruns the workflow manually. The shared test workflow also tracks a mutable branch while it has status-write access. Both issues are bounded and can be fixed quickly, ideally before merge.

A rabbit checks each version's trail,
It waits while test-run statuses sail.
It reads the jobs, confirms the run,
Then marks each lane when checks are done.
With quiet paws, it hops away,
As statuses greet the day.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep runs that are not from Dependabot out of the shared concurrency group.

The concurrency block is set for the whole workflow. GitHub evaluates it before the job-level if on lines 16-19. Every workflow_run event for the same head_sha enters the group dependabot-test-statuses-<sha>. This includes workflow_dispatch runs and runs by human actors.

cancel-in-progress: false still allows only one pending run per group. A newer queued run cancels the older pending run. Example sequence:

  1. A Dependabot completed event is queued behind a running publisher job for the same SHA.
  2. A workflow_dispatch run on the Dependabot branch head sends its requested event.
  3. That event replaces the pending Dependabot completed job.
  4. The if then skips the dispatch job.

The workflow_dispatch run does not count as a newer push run (line 136 filters event=push). As a result, no other run finalizes the Dependabot statuses. The pending statuses from the earlier lifecycle events stay on the SHA and block the required checks until someone reruns the workflow manually.

Put only eligible events into the shared group. Give every other event a unique group.
