ci(lint): fail on org repo literals not on a committed allowlist

[mattmillerai]

ELI-5

This repo is public, so writing a private repo's name into a file here publishes it. Until now the only thing stopping that was a rule in AGENTS.md that a reviewer had to remember. This PR turns the rule into a CI check: every Comfy-Org/<name> written anywhere in the tracked tree has to be on a short committed list of names we've confirmed are safe to publish. Anything else fails the build with the file, line and the exact text. Adding a name means editing the list, which shows up in the diff — so publishing a name becomes a decision someone reviewed, not an accident.

The list is an allowlist, never a denylist. A denylist would have to contain the private names in order to match them, so the lint would itself be the leak.

What's in here

• .github/lint/check-org-repo-literals.sh — the lint. git greps the tracked tree for org-prefixed repo literals, normalizes each name (case, a .git suffix, trailing periods — not a trailing -/_, which are legal at the end of a real slug), and fails with file:line:match for anything not on the allowlist. Exit 0 clean / 1 findings / 2 configuration error. shellcheck -x clean, works on bash 3.2 and 5.
• .github/lint/org-repo-allowlist.txt — the list. One name per line, each with a trailing # comment saying why it's safe, grouped into real public repos / documented exceptions / CODEOWNERS team handles / documentation examples / Hugging Face model namespaces / test fixtures. Team handles live in their own @-scoped namespace, so a CODEOWNERS slug never clears a bare reference to a repo of that name.
• .github/lint/README.md — the rule, how to add a name, why this isn't public-repo-hygiene, and the known limitations.
• .github/workflows/test-org-repo-literals.yml — runs shellcheck + the lint + four smoke-test steps (45 assertions: exit-status, normalization, the token boundary, the team/repo namespace split, over-broad allowlist entries, the "the scan could not run" configuration errors, the git grep production path with a hostile grep.* config, and — new this round — the workflow-command escaping of a hostile tracked path, the hyphenated sibling owner, a bare-repo root, GIT_DIR in the environment, the per-hit cost bound and the findings cap), with no paths: filter. The leak surface is the whole tree (past leaks sat in scripts/, .github/dependabot.yml and a component README), so gating this on workflow-file paths would exempt exactly the files most likely to carry one.
• AGENTS.md / CONTRIBUTING.md — the convention bullet now says the rule is CI-enforced and where the allowlist lives; the Commands/Before-you-open-a-PR blocks gained the command; the "every test workflow is path-filtered" sentence was corrected, since this one deliberately isn't.

Stated limitation

The guard only catches org-prefixed literals. A bare repo name — a cloud-style word written with no Comfy-Org/ in front of it — cannot be linted without committing a denylist that is itself the leak. Bare-name discipline remains with review and AGENTS.md. This is stated in the script header, the README and AGENTS.md as well as here.

Second limitation, same place: the name class is ASCII, so a name whose tail is non-ASCII (a homoglyph dash, a long s, CJK text) is read only as far as its ASCII prefix. The scan is pinned to LC_ALL=C so that limit is identical on every machine instead of a function of the runner's locale — without that pin, grep -i folds U+017F/U+212A into [A-Za-z] in a UTF-8 locale and not in the POSIX one, and the same tree would pass locally and fail on CI. The class cannot simply be widened to high bytes: measured against the tracked tree, 10 literals run into a high byte and only 5 are the deliberate homoglyph fixtures — the rest are an ellipsis, a curly apostrophe and CJK text written flush against a real public name in prose, which widening turns into unfixable findings.

Third limitation: both scan paths pass -I, so a tracked blob git classifies as binary is never read. One .gitattributes line can take a whole file type out of scope. Text is the only surface this lint claims, and the script header and README now say so rather than letting a green run overstate it.

Fourth limitation: only a literal written whole is caught. An org literal assembled at run time — printf '%s/%s' '<org>' '<name>', "${ORG}/<name>" — never matches, so it needs no allowlist edit while the run still reports its scope clean. This is not hypothetical: the smoke tests below use exactly that spelling on purpose, which makes it the house style for org literals in this repo's workflow files. It stays fully human-readable in the source, so review is what catches it.

Fifth limitation: a left boundary is not an owner-name boundary. The org segment must start a token, which excludes Not<org>/x — a different owner whose name ends in ours — but - is legal in a GitHub owner name and is not an identifier character, so the hyphenated sibling Not-<org>/x still satisfies the boundary and is read as one of ours. That is a false positive, not a miss: the failure mode is a red CI on a reference that has nothing to do with us, never a leak. It is kept rather than fixed so the boundary class stays byte-identical to public-repo-hygiene's REPO_REF_RE — a name must not pass one checker and fail the other — and widening it is a change to both. Both spellings are pinned by the smoke tests.

Sixth limitation: a team @ is judged by position, not by grammar. An @ glued to the tail of an identifier (user@<org>/<name>, email-shaped) still reads as a scope, so such a literal can draw on the @-scoped team entries. Reaching a private name through that needs the name spelled exactly like an allowlisted team slug. public-repo-hygiene reads the @ from the same position and carries the same residual.

Judgment calls

• A new workflow rather than widening test-workflow-pins.yml. Both were offered. A repo-wide guard bolted onto a workflow named for pin linting would run the Python pin suite on every docs change and read as mis-scoped; a separate check also gives a legible name in the checks list. It is named test-org-repo-literals.yml rather than repo-hygiene.yml to avoid colliding with the existing public-repo-hygiene.yml reusable workflow, which is a different thing.
• This is not a second copy of public-repo-hygiene. That checker is the rigorous, org-wide implementation of this same default-deny idea and is what every other repo should adopt. This repo cannot adopt it as a caller: it is that checker's own home, so its tests and docs deliberately commit fake-private fixture names, quote internal collaboration-tool hosts, and carry ticket-style ids by convention — all three of its categories, all intentional. I measured it: running that checker over this tree reports 1232 findings, of which 894 are ticket-style ids, 246 are org repo/team references (its own fixtures, doc examples and the names this allowlist now covers) and 92 are internal collaboration-tool links quoted in its own docs and tests. This lint is the one category this repo can enforce on itself today, and the script header, the README and AGENTS.md all say new detection belongs in the org-wide checker rather than here.
• The allowlist is seeded from an actual scan of main, not from a guess. Every entry corresponds to a literal that is really in the tree today, and I read the surrounding context for each one before listing it. The seeding is a superset of what was originally sketched, because the org-wide checker and its fixture corpus landed here after that sketch was written.
• Case-insensitive matching, both halves. GitHub resolves owner names case-insensitively, so comfy-org/<name> reaches the same repository; matching only the canonical spelling would be a one-keystroke bypass of a default-deny control. Turning this on surfaced 6 additional literals a case-sensitive scan missed. It also removes the need to list a name twice for its casing.
• The org segment must start a token, using public-repo-hygiene's REPO_REF_RE left boundary verbatim rather than a boundary invented here — the two checkers then agree on what counts as a reference, including the trade that _ reads as identifier-continuation. Without it grep -o reads this org's name out of the middle of a different owner's (Not<org>/whatever) and reddens CI on a reference that has nothing to do with us. grep -E has no lookbehind, so the boundary character is consumed by the match and dropped in the loop; the team/scope @ is read from that position. The boundary may itself be a colon (uses:, see:<org>/x), which puts a fourth colon on a file:line:match line, so the right-anchored split detects and corrects that case — pinned by a test asserting the reported LOCATION, not just the exit status.
• An over-broad allowlist entry is a configuration error (exit 2), not a blanket clear. One character is otherwise all it takes to neuter the control while still looking like an ordinary allowlist edit. The guard tests behaviour rather than spelling — an entry that clears either of two unrelated probe names is rejected — so it covers **, ?*, [a-z]*, [a-y]*, [!z]* and *[a-z] as well as *, without depending on having enumerated the spellings. Either, not both: requiring both honoured any glob that missed one probe, and [a-y]* is a single keystroke from [a-z]*. The two probes differ in first character, last character and separator, so a glob anchored at any of those positions trips one of them. All seven spellings are pinned by a smoke test.
• Team handles are a separate namespace from repo names. An @-prefixed allowlist entry clears only an @-prefixed literal, so a slug listed for a CODEOWNERS fixture does not also clear a literal reference to a private repo of that name. A plain entry still clears either spelling, because @<org>/<name> is also how npm and GitHub Packages write a package scope — @<org>/comfy-cli appears 81 times here as exactly that. This is the same asymmetry public-repo-hygiene documents.
• Test-fixture families are enumerated, not globbed. A secret-* line would pre-approve an unbounded set of names on a list whose whole value is that each name was reviewed once. All 58 fixture names that actually appear in the tree are individual lines; a new one reddens CI until someone adds it, which is the intended cost.
• The scan fails closed. git grep/grep exit 1 for "no matches" and >1 for a real error; swallowing the latter would report a clean tree because the scan never ran, and a green run reads as coverage.
• unreviewed-merges is allowlisted as a documented exception, not as a public repo — it is published by decision as the SOC-2 tracker destination. Its line points at the README and docs/callers/detect-unreviewed-merge.md, which already publish the name, and states the decision rather than a visibility: "X is private" is itself the private detail, and an entry's own line is the one place this scan structurally cannot look (the entry clears it), so the allowlist header now says what belongs there.
• The per-hit work is bounded by failing closed, not by truncating. A name past GitHub's 100-character repo-name limit after normalization is reported without being compared, because normalizing an unbounded match is quadratic — measured at over two minutes for one tracked line of <org>/comfy-cli plus 400 KB of periods, against the job's timeout-minutes: 10, which turns a lint into an inconclusive run. Truncate-then-compare would have been the obvious fix and is a widening: that same line would have normalized down onto the allowlisted comfy-cli. An over-long name cannot be a real repo, so reporting it can never clear one. Round 5 moved the order: the documented .git/trailing-period strips now run before the exact test, bounded by 8 bytes of headroom, because measuring first forced <org>/<98-char-name>.git into the over-long branch — which skips both allowlist comparisons, so the finding named a remedy that could not silence it. Past the headroom the peel is still refused rather than run, so the quadratic bound is unchanged. Two assertions cover it — a stopwatch and a verdict check — because the cheap way to pass the stopwatch alone would be to truncate and clear.
• The finding line carries a constant unapproved: prefix. A tracked path is untrusted input to the runner, and at column zero a file named ::stop-commands::x.md is a workflow command that suppresses every ::error after it. The prefix makes that unreachable; the annotation's file= value is percent-escaped for the same reason.

Verification of the deny path

This change's user-facing outcome is a build failure, so the premise worth falsifying is "these literals are not legitimately in use". I ran the lint against every tracked file on main rather than only the files this diff touches: it is green, so no existing legitimate reference is denied by it, and nothing had to be scrubbed out of the tree to make it pass. The five smoke tests then prove the opposite direction — that it does fail — on an unlisted name, on a lowercased org spelling, and on a wildcard allowlist entry.

Residual

• Bare repo names are still unguarded. A private repo name written without the org prefix passes this lint untouched, and by design always will. That half of the AGENTS.md convention remains review-enforced. If it needs machine enforcement, that is a different mechanism (a secret-backed roster comparison, not a committed denylist) and its own piece of work.
• Non-ASCII name tails are read as their ASCII prefix. A name spelled with a homoglyph can clear on an allowlisted prefix here. Three such fixtures already live in the tree and are allowlisted by their prefix with the codepoint named in the comment. Closing this properly needs the offset-aware scan .github/public-repo-hygiene/check_public_repo_hygiene.py already implements; the right fix is to reuse that, not to grow this script.
• This repo is still not enrolled in public-repo-hygiene.yml, and this PR does not change that. It has the reusable workflow, the checker, the tests and a caller-bump fleet, but no self-enrollment caller — the same two-step enrollment gap AGENTS.md warns about. Enrolling it would require deciding what to do about the 894 ticket-id findings and the fixture corpus measured above, which is a scoped decision rather than a lint edit. Category 3 is now covered here; categories 1 and 2 are not covered on this repo at all.
• AGENTS.md is over its own integrity checker's hard ceiling and this PR makes it slightly longer. It was 305 lines before (ceiling: 200) and is 317 after — python3 .github/agents-md-integrity/check_agents_md.py --root . fails on it, and has been failing on it, because this repo runs that checker for consumers but not on itself. Pre-existing and out of scope here; trimming it is a real piece of work, not a drive-by.
• A git failure still falls through to grep -r. The scan branch is now chosen from rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree's output rather than its exit status, which fixes the bare-repo and .git-path roots, but an actual git error (safe.directory refusal, a broken config, no git binary) also leaves the output non-true and takes the fallback, which reads untracked and ignored files. The fallback does at least read $root — which is what the OK line claims — and the branch is unreachable in CI, where the checkout is always a work tree owned by the runner user. Distinguishing "git refused" from "not a repo" is a separate decision about whether a safe.directory refusal should be exit 2.
• A runner-level core.attributesFile is still honoured. The four GIT_CONFIG_* injection channels are unset, but that restores git's default config search rather than disabling it, so a core.attributesFile in the runner's $HOME/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig still marks files binary and takes them out of git grep -I. Pointing GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL/GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM at /dev/null plus GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1 would close it, and is deliberately not done: it would also drop a runner's legitimate safe.directory, which makes rev-parse fail and silently takes the grep -r fallback on every run. A PR cannot write the runner's config, so this sits on the trusted side of the same boundary the checkout does.
• A newline in a tracked path is refused, not scanned, on the grep -r path. The record-shape and digit checks make it exit 2 rather than report a fabrication, so such a file is never scanned there. On the git path it is scanned normally (git C-quotes the path into one record) and reported with a C-quoted location. Renaming the file is the fix; supporting it would mean NUL-delimited output on both paths.
• $hits still buffers the whole scan output before the hit loop starts, and the per-hit loop stays linear in the hit count (limitation 11, now carrying the measurement: ~5.4 ms per hit past the print cap, so the job's timeout-minutes: 10 is reached at roughly 110,000 hits in one scan). That is inherent to capturing the scan's exit status, which is what makes it fail closed; streaming would restructure that. With the per-hit work now linear and the emission capped at 200 printed findings, what remains is memory proportional to one grep -o output.
• Two local suites could not be run for want of tools on this machine, and neither is touched by this diff: scripts/area-label/tests/test_lib.sh (needs yq) and .github/coderabbit-config/tests (needs the pinned jsonschema, which is installed from requirements.txt in CI). Both run normally in CI.
• Two short ASCII prefixes are still allowlisted as prefixes. comfy-type and mod are the ASCII heads of public-repo-hygiene's deliberate homoglyph fixtures, so a private name spelled <org>/mod<U+2010>… would clear on mod. core-engine, the third, moved into the @-scoped team namespace and no longer clears a bare repo reference at all. Reaching the remaining two needs someone to write a homoglyph on purpose, which the script's TAMPER BOUNDARY block already places outside what this lint controls; real closure is the offset-aware scan public-repo-hygiene implements.

Provenance

• Authored by: agent-work loop
• Verified: Rounds 1–3: bash .github/lint/check-org-repo-literals.sh on the full tracked tree: 0 findings, with the allowlist file itself in scope; shellcheck -x on the script: clean; actionlint on the workflow: clean. The script re-run under bash 3.2 and bash 5, and under LANG=C, C.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8: identical result in all six combinations. All four smoke-test steps replayed locally from the workflow YAML, under both bash 3.2 and bash 5: 26/26 assertions passed at that point — an unlisted name, a lowercased org spelling, a trailing--/_ variant of an allowlisted name, a bare reference spelled like a team slug and a literal glued to a colon all exit 1; a plain allowlisted name, a .git+period spelling, an @-prefixed team slug, a reference naming nothing and an UNHYPHENATED reference to a different owner whose name ends in ours all exit 0 (the hyphenated spelling is limitation 5 above, pinned separately as a known false positive); the allowlist entries *, **, ?*, [a-z]*, [a-y]*, [!z]* and *[a-z] each exit 2; a work tree with no tracked files, an unenterable root, a root holding only binary blobs and an unreadable allowlist each exit 2; on the git grep PRODUCTION path a tracked unlisted name exits 1 and a tracked allowlisted name exits 0; and both the colon-boundary case and a repo configured with hostile grep.column/grep.fullName still report the fixture's own file:line (fixture.md:2). The grep.* pin was confirmed load-bearing by running the same git grep with and without it (f.md:2:4: … vs f.md:2: …). Multibyte boundary characters (an em dash, CJK text) still produce a correctly-located finding. python3 .github/workflow-pins/check_workflow_pins.py: OK, 11 workflows, 0 findings. unittest suites cursor-review 194, agents-md-integrity 46, groom 365, public-repo-hygiene 165, refresh-reviewers 48, workflow-pins 265: all OK. Shell suites bump-callers 437, preflight 278, paths-contract 70, pr-derisk 63: 0 failed (paths-contract needs a __pycache__-free tree — a stale one from running the Python suites fails it, which is the artifact and not the code). The homoglyph measurement quoted above was taken by re-running the scan over the tracked tree with the name class widened to high bytes and diffing the matches. Round 4 re-verified everything from scratch after 6295758: shellcheck -x clean; actionlint on the changed workflow clean; the lint green on the full tracked tree (0 findings) under LANG=C, C.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8; python3 .github/workflow-pins/check_workflow_pins.py OK (11 workflows, 0 findings) and its 265 unittests OK. All four smoke-test steps replayed from the workflow YAML under both bash 3.2 and bash 5: 45/45 assertions pass in each, 90 total, zero ::error lines. Step 3 was additionally replayed with id stubbed to report uid 0: 4 of its 6 assertions still run and only the two chmod ones skip, against 1 of 6 before. Each fix was reproduced failing first: ::stop-commands::a,b.md emitted a column-zero workflow command and an unescaped file=; Not-<org>/<unlisted> exited 1 while Not<org>/<unlisted> exited 0; rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree printed false and exited 0 for a bare repo and for a path under .git, both dying with the wrong message; GIT_DIR=b/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=b git -C a grep -l -e '' listed b's files, and end to end a clean root reported a dirty repo's finding; 400 KB of trailing periods ran past two minutes (profiled to 62 s in ${hit##*:} alone, and the two-expansion rewrite ${value%%"${value##*[!.]}"} measured quadratic as well) and now completes in ~2 s. Cap boundary measured exactly: a 100-character name reports "not on the allowlist", a 101-character one "longer than GitHub's 100-character repo-name limit"; a 250-finding fixture prints 200 lines, reports 250 and exits 1. Edge cases re-checked green: a multibyte (em dash, CJK) boundary character, a literal % in a tracked path, a colon in a real directory component, and a colon boundary and a colon in the path together — all still report the correct file:line. Round 5 re-verified from scratch after 3a37181: shellcheck -x clean; actionlint on the changed workflow clean; the lint green on the full tracked tree (0 findings) under bash 3.2 and bash 5; unittest suites cursor-review 194, agents-md-integrity 46, groom 365 all OK and the bump-callers shell suite 437 passed / 0 failed. All five smoke-test steps replayed from the workflow YAML: 63/63 assertions pass (45 before), zero ::error lines. Every new assertion was then replayed against the pre-fix script and fails there, while the four fail-closed controls pass on both, as they must. Each fix was reproduced failing first: <org>/<98-char>.git and <org>/<100-char>. both exited 1 as over-long with the allowlist skipped; GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=core.attributesFile pointing at one *.md binary line made the unfixed script print the clean-tree OK line and exit 0 for a literal it never read; a tracked file named a:bc<LF>d.md produced ::error file=a,line=./a::… c is not on … — a fabricated literal at a path that does not exist, with the raw path in line=; git -C docs -c grep.fullName=false printed x.md where true prints docs/x.md; and <org>/foo.<org>/private-name scanned as one match named foo.<org>. Performance measured directly: 2000 unapproved literals in one tracked file went 18.4 s → 11.7 s (8.6 ms → 5.4 ms per hit past the print cap, against 2.1 s at 200 hits). Round 6 re-verified after eb1bcbe: shellcheck -x clean (including the one new # shellcheck disable=SC2254), actionlint clean, the lint green on the full tracked tree under bash 3.2 and bash 5, and the other suites unchanged (cursor-review 194, agents-md-integrity 46, groom 365, bump-callers 437 passed / 0 failed). All five smoke steps replayed: 70/70 assertions pass (63 before), and every new one was replayed against the round-5 script and fails there. Each round-6 fix was reproduced failing first: GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS="'core.attributesFile=…'" made the round-5 script print the clean-tree OK line and exit 0; a tracked file named a:1:foo<LF>x.md printed the fabricated finding oo at file=a,line=1 for a path that does not exist; the allowlist entries public-name_<org>, public-name<org> and a bare <org> were all accepted; and --root <repo>/docs validated that repo against this repo's allowlist. The git grep C-quoting premise was checked directly ("a:1:foo\nx.md":1:<org>/private-name — one record, not two), and SC2254 was checked against the build CI uses: shellcheck --include=SC2254 exits 0 on the two $org_glob/* patterns and fires on the new $org_glob/) one.
• Deviations: none against the requested scope. The allowlist is a superset of the originally sketched seed set (seeded from a real scan instead), a name is not listed twice for its casing (matching is case-insensitive), and the CI wiring is a new minimal workflow rather than a widened test-workflow-pins.yml — both were offered as implementer's choice. Review round 1 changed three defaults from the first pass: fixture families are enumerated rather than globbed, team handles got their own @-scoped namespace, and the over-broad-entry guard tests behaviour rather than the single * spelling. Review round 2 changed four more: the over-broad guard rejects on either probe rather than both, the org segment must start a token (public-repo-hygiene's boundary verbatim, with the colon-boundary parse fix that needs), the grep -r fallback fails closed on a root with nothing scannable, and an unreadable allowlist is exit 2 rather than exit 1 — plus git grep's output-format config is now pinned and a fourth smoke step exercises the git production path. Review round 4 fixed seven of eight threads and answered the eighth on the thread: the claim that [ … ] && longest=… as a loop body's last command aborts under set -e is the opposite of bash's documented behaviour (a command before the final && of an &&/|| list is exempt from -e), measured on bash 3.2 and bash 5 both as bash -e script and in-script, with a bare false body as the contrast that isolates it. Two items from those threads were deliberately not fixed and are recorded under Residual instead of as follow-ups, because neither is reachable in CI: the git-failure fallback and the $hits buffering. Review round 5 fixed all nine threads: the length test moved after normalization (with MAX_STRIP bounding the peel), GIT_CONFIG_COUNT/GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL/GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM joined the GIT_DIR unset, a non-numeric line field became a refused parse rather than an escaped finding, grep.fullName was pinned true instead of false, the allowlist loader gained two entry rejections (/, and a name ending in .<org>/-<org>), the per-hit head-slice fold became a glob built once from $ORG, and two stale comments were corrected. One was fixed only in part and is recorded rather than filed: the per-hit loop stays linear in the hit count, and neither suggested bound was taken because both trade the true finding count — the number a red run's summary turns on — for a truncated one; the cost is now stated as limitation 11 with its measurement, and no follow-up ticket was filed because it is not reachable under current code. Review round 6 fixed six of seven threads: GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS joined the unset (a fourth injection channel delivering the same fail-open), the record's shape is validated rather than just its line field, the merged-token entry guard became the complete org-suffix test rather than a sample of separators, --root below a work tree now resolves the scanned repo's own allowlist, two tests that were passing for the wrong reason were rewritten to pin what they claim, and the allowlist file's own header — the copy a contributor actually opens — was brought in line with the other two. The seventh was rejected with evidence: SC2254 does not fire on the two $org_glob/* case patterns (CI's required shellcheck -x step passed on that exact file, and --include=SC2254 exits 0), because a pattern ending in * reads as intentional globbing. The mechanism is real, and the new $org_glob/) pattern it does fire on carries a directive. No Linear follow-up was filed this round. Everything not fixed is under Residual above.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a75b6

The new repository-publication guard can miss literals stored in LFS-tracked text files and can be affected by inherited Git attribute settings, allowing the intended check to pass without scanning all claimed content. The workflow and environment handling should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge; the documentation scope also needs a small clarification.

[mattmillerai]

Pushed 057f488 addressing all 10 panel findings; re-applied cursor-review for a second pass.

Fixed (9): trailing--/_ stripping (normalization could widen a match); the wildcard guard, now a behavioural test that catches **/?*/[a-z]* and not just *; the team/repo shared namespace, split via a captured @ and @-scoped allowlist entries; the secret-* family glob, now 58 enumerated lines; the cd fail-open in the non-git path; the untracked-subtree fail-open in the git path, plus a success message that states the scope actually scanned; the allowlist :(exclude) pathspec, dropped so the files own rationale comments are scanned; the undocumented -Ibinary-blob coverage hole; and the smoke tests, which asserted "any non-zero" and leaked::error file=` annotations on successful runs.

Not fixed (1): the homoglyph-prefix thread. I attempted the suggested fix — widening the name class to high bytes — and measured it against the tracked tree: it produces 10 findings of which only 5 are the fixtures in question, the rest being an ellipsis, a curly apostrophe and CJK text written flush against a real public name in prose. Details and the measurement are in the thread. core-engine, one of the three prefixes, was narrowed into the @ namespace as a partial fix. No follow-up ticket filed: reaching the rest needs a deliberately-written homoglyph, which the script`s TAMPER BOUNDARY block already places outside what this lint controls.

The three smoke-test steps now carry 15 assertions and all pass on ubuntu-latest. Not merging — review-gated.

Pushed 6295758 for review round 4 — seven of the eight threads fixed, the eighth answered on the thread with a measurement. Re-applied cursor-review for a fifth pass.

Fixed (7): the tracked path reaching both output lines unescaped (constant unapproved: prefix so a ::stop-commands::… filename cannot emit a workflow command at column zero, plus percent-escaping of the annotation properties); the per-hit cost, which was quadratic and reproduced at over two minutes for one tracked line against a 10-minute job timeout — profiled to ${hit##*:} rather than the trailing-period peel, so the split is now ${hit%:*} + an offset and a name past GitHub's 100-character limit is reported without being normalized (failing closed, since truncate-then-compare would have been a widening); the scan branch chosen from rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree's output instead of its exit status; GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE/GIT_INDEX_FILE unset next to CDPATH, having measured that they override git -C and made the scan read a different repository while the OK line still reported --root as its scope; script_repo_root resolution as exit 2 rather than set -e's exit 1; the root-skip that took the whole smoke step with it (4 of 6 assertions now run as root, against 1 of 6); and the unreviewed-merges rationale, which stated a confidentiality attribute in a public file.

Recorded, not fixed (1): the hyphenated sibling owner Not-<org>/x is read as one of ours — a false positive kept for byte-parity with public-repo-hygiene's boundary class, now limitation 8 with both spellings pinned.

Answered (1): [ … ] && longest=… as a loop body's last command does not abort under set -e — a command before the final && of an &&/|| list is exempt, measured on bash 3.2 and bash 5 both as bash -e script and in-script, with a bare false body as the isolating contrast.

Smoke tests 26 → 45 assertions, green under both bash 3.2 and bash 5 (90/90 across the two). Two items are recorded under Residual rather than filed as follow-ups because neither is reachable in CI: the git-failure fallback path and the $hits buffering.

Pushed 3a37181 for review round 5 — all nine threads addressed: eight fixed outright, one fixed in part and measured.

Fixed (8):

• The length test ran before normalization (Medium, 4/8). <org>/<98-char>.git, and a 100-character name followed by a sentence period, were forced into oversize — which skips both allowlist comparisons, so the finding named a remedy that could not silence it. The strips now run first, bounded by a new MAX_STRIP=8 bytes of headroom so the quadratic peel still never sees unbounded input; past the headroom the peel is refused rather than run. Both bounds still fail closed, pinned by two assertions that pass on the pre-fix script too.
• GIT_CONFIG_* could shrink the scan and fail open. GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=core.attributesFile pointing at one *.md binary line made the unfixed script print the clean-tree OK line and exit 0 for a literal it never read. Now unset next to GIT_DIR; GIT_CONFIG_KEY_n/_VALUE_n are inert once the count is gone.
• A non-numeric line field is a refused parse (exit 2), not an escaped finding. Reproduced exactly: a tracked file named a:bc<LF>d.md emitted ::error file=a,line=./a::… c is not on … — a fabricated literal, a path that does not exist, and the raw path inside the properties the escaping exists to protect.
• grep.fullName pinned true, not false. Measured: git -C docs … fullName=false prints x.md where true prints docs/x.md, so --root docs was emitting an annotation GitHub resolves against the repo root and drops.
• Two new allowlist-entry rejections. One containing / is compared against the bare name and can never match — yet it is the spelling the tool invites. One ending in .<org>/-<org> is the shape of a merged literal, and allowlisting the token such a finding quotes would clear the second, never-examined name with the run green.
• Merged literals documented as limitation 10, with the rejection above as the fix for the part that actually loses a name.
• Two stale comments. The glob rejection is now correctly described as defence-in-depth (entries are compared with exact equality, so nothing reaches the comparison as a pattern), and a duplicated COST-bound block described a test that was not below it.

Fixed in part, and measured (1): the per-hit cost past the print cap. The head-slice printf | tr is gone — it is a glob built once from $ORG — removing two forks from every hit: 18.4s → 11.7s for 2000 hits in one tracked file (8.6ms → 5.4ms per hit past the cap). The loop stays linear in the hit count, which is now limitation 11 with the number: timeout-minutes: 10 is reached at roughly 110,000 hits in a single scan. I did not take either suggested bound — head -n N on the scan and skipping the work past the cap both trade the true finding count for a truncated one, and that count is the number a red runs summary turns on. No follow-up filed: it is not reachable in this tree, whose largest tracked file is under 600 lines.

Smoke tests 45 → 63 assertions, green under bash 3.2 and bash 5. Every new assertion was replayed against the pre-fix script and fails there; the four fail-closed controls pass on both, as they must. shellcheck and actionlint clean; the other suites unchanged (cursor-review 194, agents-md-integrity 46, groom 365, bump-callers 437).

Pushed eb1bcbe for review round 6 — six of seven threads fixed, the seventh rejected with the CI evidence that disproves it.

Fixed (6):

• GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS was a fourth injection channel (Medium, 7/8) — the one round 5 missed. It is how -c propagates to child git processes and git reads it unconditionally, so it delivers the identical fail-open with GIT_CONFIG_COUNT already unset. Measured: the round-5 script prints the clean-tree OK line and exits 0 for a literal it never read. Also documented what the unset does not do — clearing GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL/GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM restores gits default config search rather than disabling it. The /dev/null + GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1 form was deliberately not taken: it would also drop a runners legitimate safe.directory, which makes rev-parse fail and silently takes the grep -r fallback on every run.
• A numeric line field did not prove a record parsed (Medium, 7/8). Reproduced: a tracked file named a:1:foo<LF>x.md printed unapproved: a:1: oo … — a fabricated literal at a path that does not exist, exit 1 rather than the promised exit 2. The record shape is now validated: after the boundary drop the match must still begin with the org prefix. The comments premise was wrong too and is corrected — git grep C-quotes newline/tab/\/" whatever core.quotePath says, so the split is a grep -r behaviour only and the git paths single record is a real finding, now asserted as exit 1 so the refusals cannot swallow it.
• The merged-token entry guard was a sample of separators, not the rule (Medium, 5/8). The name class holds _, and <org>/<org>/private merges to a bare <org> — both were accepted as entries. A merged token always ends at the / that starts the second name, so the org suffix alone is the complete test. Verified no current entry ends in it, and <org>.github.io, foo.bar and a-b-c still clear.
• --root below a work tree used the wrong allowlist (Low). It now resolves the scanned repos top level via rev-parse --show-toplevel before falling back to this scripts own repo, which is what the comment above it always claimed.
• Two tests were passing for the wrong reason (Low ×2) — a fair hit on my round-5 work. The 120-character case exited 1 merely for being unlisted, so deleting MAX_NAME would have left it green; it is now its own allowlist entry. The subtree fixture wrote a placeholder list and passed while the script silently used this repos list; its list now holds a name absent from this repos, so clearing it is only possible via the scanned repos own file.
• The allowlist files own header (Nit) — the copy a contributor actually opens, and the stalest of the three. Rewritten to match: exact-equality comparison, glob rejection as defence-in-depth, plus the two newer exit-2 shapes.

Rejected (1): SC2254 on the two $org_glob/* case patterns. It does not fire on them — shellcheck --include=SC2254 exits 0, and CIs own required shellcheck -x step passed on that exact file (job 97835895923) — because a pattern ending in * reads as intentional globbing. The mechanism is real, though, and round 6 gave it something to bite: the new $org_glob/) pattern does trigger it, and carries a directive.

Smoke tests 63 → 70 assertions, green under bash 3.2 and bash 5. Every new assertion was replayed against the round-5 script and fails there. shellcheck and actionlint clean; other suites unchanged (cursor-review 194, agents-md-integrity 46, groom 365, bump-callers 437).

🟡 Medium — The shape check that reply added sits inside the *) boundary-drop arm and only asserts the match begins with the org prefix, so it misses both neighbouring arms and can itself be satisfied by a fabrication: on the fallback path a tracked file a:1:Comfy-Org/x<LF>y.md yields the fragment ./a:1:Comfy-Org/x, which takes the column-0 arm with no shape test at all and is printed against a path that does not exist; a:1:@​Comfy-Org/backend<LF>y.md takes the @​ arm with is_at=1 and is silently CLEARED against the team entries; and a:1: Comfy-Org/unlisted<LF>y.md reaches the guarded arm and passes the prefix test. None of these is the exit 2 the comment and the README promise for this whole class. No test on the record's content can separate a fabricated fragment from a real one — either keep the path out of the record (enumerate with grep -rIlZ/find -print0 and scan each file separately) or narrow the comment, README and limitation text to say the refusal is best-effort. Raised by 3 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial, kimi-k3-max adversarial, gpt-5.6-sol-max edge-case).

↩︎ re-raise of #224 (comment) (round 6)

[github-actions]

🟢 Low — GIT_ATTR_SOURCE (git ≥ 2.40) is a fifth env channel to the same fail-open and is not unset here: it redirects every .gitattributes read to a named tree-ish, so a tree carrying *.md binary has git grep -I skip those files while first_scannable still clears on a .txt/.sh and the OK line still claims "the tracked files under '$root'". HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME reach the same place with no GIT_CONFIG_* variable involved at all (git's per-user attributes default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes, then $HOME/.config/git/attributes), which makes the block's closing "the env is hardened; the runner's own config is trusted" wider than the four names it covers. Add GIT_ATTR_SOURCE to the unset and the README list, and scope that sentence to the variables actually handled. Raised by 4 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial, claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case, kimi-k3-max adversarial, kimi-k3-max edge-case).

[github-actions]

🟢 Low — actions/checkout defaults lfs: false, so an LFS-tracked text file is checked out only as its small pointer stub and git grep scans the stub rather than the publicly downloadable object — the rest of the tree still satisfies first_scannable, so an unapproved literal living in that object passes this always-on leak gate green. Either set lfs: true on the checkout, or have the script recognize a valid LFS pointer and treat it as unscanned the way limitation 3 treats a binary blob. Raised by 2 of 8 reviewers (gpt-5.6-sol-max adversarial, gpt-5.6-sol-max edge-case).

[github-actions]

🟢 Low — Allowlist entries are loaded without the trailing-period/.git normalization the scan applies to a literal, so an entry copied out of a finding is accepted while being inert: the finding quotes <org>/foo.git, the / spelling is now rejected with "write just <name>", and the resulting foo.git line can never match anything because the scan compares foo. That is the same live foot-gun the / rejection was added for — an accepted line plus a rerun insisting the name is missing from a file that visibly contains it — one shape further out; normalize the entry at load time, or reject it naming the spelling that works. Raised by 1 of 8 reviewers (gpt-5.6-sol-max edge-case).

[github-actions]

🟢 Low — The new third lookup is invisible from a run log: this error still names only '$root' and '$script_repo_root', so a --root inside a work tree whose top level has no list is told the lint looked in two places when it looked in three, and the OK line, each finding's why and the summary all print the caller-supplied $allowlist_rel, so all three resolution outcomes emit byte-identical text — which is exactly why round 6's wrong-allowlist bug could pass green. Print the resolved $allowlist and add $root_repo_top to this message when it is non-empty. Related: || true on --show-toplevel leaves $root_repo_top empty after --is-inside-work-tree already answered true, and the run then falls through to this repo's list rather than refusing. Raised by 2 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial, claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case).

[github-actions]

⚪ Nit — This comment explains a guard the code does not have: there is no -d test on $root_repo_top — the empty-output case is caught by [ -n "$root_repo_top" ] and existence by the elif's [ -f … ]. Drop the clause or add the test, so a later reader neither goes looking for it nor assumes $root_repo_top was already validated as a directory. Raised by 1 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case).

[github-actions]

⚪ Nit — The CI-enforced (BE-8192) badge attaches to a sentence naming three surfaces — workflow files, commit messages and PR text — but the lint reads tracked file contents only, so two of the three are structurally outside it while the one stated carve-out is bare names, which invites the reading that everything else in that sentence is now machine-checked. Scope the claim to tracked file contents, the way the script's own KNOWN LIMITATIONS block does. Raised by 1 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial).

Merged main (a02bb3e..) — it had heavily condensed AGENTS.md (297→150 lines) since this branch forked. Re-applied this PR's four AGENTS.md additions (Commands lint line, .github/lint/ Layout entry, the CI-enforced note in the caller-rosters bullet, the Deeper-docs link) onto the new structure rather than taking either side wholesale.

That surfaced a semantic conflict: check-org-repo-literals.sh (this PR) now fails on six fixture/doc-example repo literals main introduced after this branch forked (some-private-repo, other-private-repo, nope-private, github-workflows-ops, ComfyUI.md, ComfyUI.internal — all in public-repo-hygiene's docs/tests, none real repos). Added them to org-repo-allowlist.txt with the same fixture/doc-example convention the rest of the list uses.

Verified: check-org-repo-literals.sh clean on the full tree (0 findings); check_agents_md.py --root . passes (161 lines, under the 200 hard ceiling); check_workflow_pins.py OK; unittest suites agents-md-integrity (46), public-repo-hygiene (196), workflow-pins (308), cursor-review (305) all OK; bump-callers shell suites (bump-callers 437, preflight 278, paths-contract 70) all 0 failed. Re-applied cursor-review for a fresh pass over the merge.

actions/checkout still leaves LFS text as pointer stubs.

actions/checkout defaults lfs: false. An LFS-tracked text file is therefore checked out as a small pointer stub, and git grep scans the stub instead of the publicly downloadable object. The rest of the tree still satisfies the scannability probe, so an unapproved literal that lives in that object passes this always-on gate green. Set lfs: true on the checkout, or teach the script to treat a valid LFS pointer as unscanned, the way limitation 3 treats a binary blob.

This pointer-stub sprite is still hiding in plain sight — no imp magic needed to spot it twice.

Scope the CI-enforced badge to tracked file contents.

Line 101 names three surfaces: workflow files, commits, and PR text. The badge follows that sentence, so it reads as if CI now checks all three. The lint reads tracked file contents only, so commit messages and PR text stay outside it. The one stated carve-out is bare names, which strengthens the wrong reading. State the scan surface, the way the script's KNOWN LIMITATIONS block does.

Scope it tight, or the badge will bluff — a claim with too much cuff.

📝 Proposed wording

-  **CI-enforced (BE-8192)**: `test-org-repo-literals.yml` fails any org-prefixed
-  repo literal whose name is not on `.github/lint/org-repo-allowlist.txt`, so

The finding(s) below could not be anchored to a line the reviewed diff carries, so they are reported here instead of inline:

.github/workflow-pins/check_workflow_pins.py:792 — 🟡 Medium — In a YAML single-quoted scalar \ is an ordinary character and '' is the escape for a literal quote, but _quote_scan applies one escape rule to both quote characters — so name: 'bypass\' leaves the scan inside a scalar YAML has already closed, and name: 'don''t fail' closes one YAML keeps open. BE-9129 makes such a desync durable rather than line-local, and it is not only a strip question: while a quote is carried open, after_open_quote suppresses BOTH the quoted and the plain ref: continuation windows, so a ref: "${{ split across the lines below records no site at all.

.github/cursor-review/post-review.py:1058 — 🟡 Medium — This is the one POST that never passes through clamp_review_body, so unlike the other three exit paths it gets neither the 60,000-char cap nor the surrogate scrub: an oversize header/panel_summary (built from the unbounded --ledger-note/--notice plus per-cell model and error strings) 422s here, and a lone surrogate anywhere in it raises on encode instead. On the all-failed branch this review is the only artifact naming which cells errored, so route body_text through clamp_review_body and pass truncated= the way the other paths do.

.github/cursor-review/post-review.py:1179 — 🟡 Medium — Every non-403 failure reaches this fallback, not just an anchor-position 422: a transient 5xx or a lost connection whose write actually committed publishes a second, duplicate review that nobody can un-post, and an ordinary transient failure needlessly strips every anchor from a payload that was fine. The not comments branch immediately above names that duplicate risk as its own reason to skip the retry, so classify the response and drop anchors only for an anchor-validation 422.

.github/cursor-review/post-review.py:747 — 🟡 Medium — The containment here is only a > prefix per line, and GFM still passes allowlisted raw HTML through, so a model-supplied body carrying </blockquote> (e.g. x</blockquote> then ## Forged verdict) closes the quote during HTML tree repair and the following heading renders as top-level content under the review bot's identity. Escape the raw HTML delimiters (at least <) or render the body as literal text before quoting it, and extend BodyStructureTest, which today only covers the markdown-level escapes.

Raised by 1 of 8 reviewers (gpt-5.6-sol-max adversarial).

.github/cursor-review/post-review.py:431 — 🟡 Medium — The newly read diff is the one unbounded input in a script that budgets everything else: anchorable_lines holds diff_text.split("\n") for the whole patch and then one Python int per right-side line, so a PR adding a multi-MB file of blank or comment-only lines — discounted by ignore_comments against diff_size_cap, so it can pass the size gate — becomes tens of millions of list entries plus set members and can OOM the step before any POST or summary fallback runs. Bound the bytes/lines read, or test membership only for the handful of coordinates the findings actually cite.

.github/workflow-pins/check_workflow_pins.py:1142 — 🟡 Medium — On the strip = False arm (a quote left open after text) the fold appends each continuation line raw, including whatever sits PAST the scalar's closing quote — so WORKFLOWS_REF: "${{ / 'main' }}" # inputs.workflows_ref registers an alias from a mention that exists only in a trailing comment, and a later ref: ${{ env.WORKFLOWS_REF }} is then reported as an unguarded input checkout on a compliant workflow. ref_checkouts handles exactly this case with _strip_after_carried_quote; reuse it here so the two readers cannot disagree.

.github/workflow-pins/check_workflow_pins.py:2812 — 🟢 Low — The mention arm closes the window on the first line whose fold names the input and computes fallback = _pins_to_job_workflow_sha(line) from that physical line rather than from joined, so ref: >- / ${{ inputs.workflows_ref || / job.workflow_sha }} never sees the second operand: fallback is False and a job covered only by the job.workflow_sha fallback guard is reported unguarded, while the byte-identical one-line spelling passes. Wait for the expression to balance before judging — the same ${{-vs-}} test the key-line arm already applies via unclosed.

.github/cursor-review/post-review.py:950 — 🟢 Low — MAX_ERROR_MESSAGE_CHARS bounds safe, but header is unbounded, so header + 40,000 can exceed MAX_REVIEW_BODY_CHARS and clamp_review_body then cuts the END — taking the closing fence and the Re-trigger by removing… line that the message-side budget exists to preserve, and leaving an unterminated fence that renders the rest of the posted review as code. ErrorReviewSummaryContractTest drives exactly that shape with a 30,000-char header but asserts the instruction survives only in the SUMMARY, never in posted[0]["body"]; budget the header too, or assemble the fence and tail after clamping the head.

.github/cursor-review/post-review.py:829 — 🟢 Low — body is run through encodable() two lines down but path is not, and validate_finding upstream checks only type/non-empty/length — so a lone surrogate (json.load produces one from "\ud800") reaches json.dumps as a literal \ud800 in comments[].path, and the same path also reaches the review body through render_code_ref, where clamp_review_body's scrub replaces it. The inline comment and the body copy then disagree about the finding's location, which is the two-channels-disagree failure the body scrub was added to prevent; scrub path at the same point. This is also why posted_body != review_body overstates itself as "truncated" — a scrub with no length cut trips the banner and the redundant whole-review summary write.

🟢 Low — GIT_ATTR_SOURCE (git ≥ 2.40) is a fifth channel to the same fail-open and is still not unset: it redirects every .gitattributes read to a named tree-ish, so a tree carrying *.md binary has git grep -I skip those files while first_scannable clears on a .txt/.sh and the OK line still claims "the tracked files under '$root'". HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME reach the same place with no GIT_CONFIG_* variable involved at all (git's per-user attributes default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes, then $HOME/.config/git/attributes), so the block's closing claim that the environment is hardened overstates what four unsets buy.
