Before: both halves of the API reference pipeline existed and neither reached the other. The SDK built a versioned artifact on the run that published and attached it as sdk-api-docs; this portal rendered one from vendor/sdk-api/. Between them was a person downloading a zip and unpacking it here, described in the SDK's RELEASING.md. Nothing failed when nobody did it: the packages went to the registry either way, /docs/sdk/ went on listing whatever it already had, and the omission kept until somebody noticed the reference was a version behind.

After: the SDK API sync workflow makes that walk. Given the ID of the Release run that published, it downloads the artifact, places it under vendor/sdk-api/, imports it to check this portal can render it, and opens a pull request. SDK API drift watches for the times nobody runs it, reading the SDK's tags weekly and filing an issue when a release is missing its reference here.

This closes the one gap between publishing the SDK's packages and its API reference appearing on the portal.

How: the portal fetches rather than the SDK pushing. The SDK's release job holds the credential that publishes to the registry, and giving it a second one that could write here would widen what a mistake in that job reaches; everything needed to refuse a bad artifact is already in this repository, so the fetching is here too. The pull request is opened with an app token rather than GITHUB_TOKEN, which raises one that starts no checks — the reason vendored-sync.yml files an issue instead — and here the check is the whole point, since the import task refuses a corpus this portal could not render.

Inside the job the same reasoning splits the credential in two, each as narrow as the one thing it does. The reading token is scoped to the SDK with permission-actions: read; the checkout keeps no credentials; and the writing token, scoped to this repository alone, is not minted until the download, the install and the import have all finished, so nothing that runs anybody else's code runs while it exists. It reaches the push through a credential helper rather than a remote URL, since a URL carrying a token is written into .git/config, printed by git remote -v, and copied into the output of anything that reports what it fetched.

Placing the artifact is a task (build/tasks/unpack-sdk-api-artifact.mts) rather than a line of shell, because three things cannot be checked after the fact: that a release is added rather than replaced, since the reference a release shipped with is not this repository's to rewrite; that a directory is named for a release, since that name becomes a public URL; and that nothing arrived by symbolic link. It reads only what node ships with, so the workflow refuses a bad artifact before it installs anything.

The drift check reads tags rather than the registry. Every package in the SDK was published for years from a repository of its own and those versions are served still, so the registry would report a reference missing for releases that never had an artifact at all. changeset publish tags what it publishes in the SDK's own repository, so a tag there is exactly a release the Release workflow built an artifact from. Before the SDK's first tag it reports nothing missing, which is the state today.

This needs a GitHub App before the sync workflow can run — SDK_SYNC_APP_ID and SDK_SYNC_APP_PRIVATE_KEY, installed on sdk with Actions: read and on this repository with Contents: write and Pull requests: write. Deliberately not the app commit-queue.yml uses, which can merge to the default branch. The drift workflow needs nothing and works as soon as this lands.

Tested end to end against a real corpus rather than a fixture: generated all 457 API pages from the SDK at 9b512c6, packaged them with docs:artifact, unpacked them here, imported them, and built the site. /docs/sdk/0.0.0-e2e/api/ rendered 458 pages with their signatures, parameters and examples, and /docs/sdk/ listed the release. 25 new unit tests cover the placement rules and the drift comparison; the suite is 179 tests and green, along with lint, formatting, spelling and the workflow pin check.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated weekly monitoring for SDK API reference drift.
    • Added a workflow to validate and import SDK API documentation from releases, then prepare updates for review.
    • Added validation to prevent malformed, incomplete, duplicate, or unsafe documentation artifacts from being imported.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded SDK API guidance for artifact delivery, validation, synchronization, and manual publication.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for release detection, drift reporting, artifact unpacking, validation, and error handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds SDK release comparison, secure artifact unpacking, scheduled drift detection, and manual SDK API synchronization. The workflows validate artifacts, report missed synchronization through issues, and create pull requests for imported documentation.

Changes

SDK API automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release comparison contract
build/shared/sdk-release.mts, build/shared/sdk-release.test.mts, package.json
Adds SDK tag parsing, semantic version selection, drift reports, tests, and a package export.
SDK API artifact validation
build/tasks/unpack-sdk-api-artifact.mts, build/shared/sdk-unpack.test.mts, package-scripts.yml
Validates downloaded releases and manifests, rejects unsafe or conflicting content, copies valid releases, and reports workflow outputs.
Drift detection and reporting
build/tasks/check-sdk-api-drift.mts, .github/workflows/sdk-api-drift.yml, package-scripts.yml
Reads imported releases and GitHub tags, reports drift or lookup failures, creates deduplicated issues, and fails when release lookup is incomplete.
SDK API synchronization workflow
.github/workflows/sdk-api-sync.yml, vendor/sdk-api/README.md
Downloads and validates a selected artifact, runs import validation, commits documentation, opens a pull request, and documents the workflow.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 710ab

The synchronization workflow limits read access during artifact handling and mints repository write access only after validation. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

- Around line 61-80: The sdk-api-sync workflow currently creates a broad,
persisted App token before validation. Split token usage into operation-specific
steps: mint a read-only token scoped only to sdk for artifact access, set
persist-credentials: false on checkout and validation, then after validation
mint a separate token scoped only to openinf.github.io with the write
permissions required for pushing and opening the pull request.

Comment thread .github/workflows/sdk-api-sync.yml Outdated
DerekNonGeneric pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 19, 2026
The sync job minted one token that could read the SDK and write here,
left it in .git/config, and then ran `pnpm install`. Lifecycle scripts
are a dependency's own code, and anything they can read they can send,
so a compromised one had a credential that could push to this
repository and open pull requests in it.

Two tokens now, each as narrow as the one thing it does. The reading
token is scoped to the SDK with `permission-actions: read`, which is
what downloading one artifact needs and nothing else; without it the
token inherited every permission the app was installed with. The
checkout keeps no credentials, as every other workflow here does. The
writing token is scoped to this repository alone and is not minted
until the download, the install and the import have all finished, so
nothing that runs anybody else's code runs while it exists.

The push is given that token through a credential helper rather than a
remote URL. A URL carrying a token is written into .git/config, printed
by `git remote -v`, and copied into the output of anything that reports
what it fetched.

The SDK builds its API reference on the run that publishes and attaches

The SDK API sync workflow makes that walk. Given the ID of the Release
run that published, it downloads the artifact, places it here, imports

the manifest, confines every path the manifest names, and refuses a
corpus it could not render, so a refused artifact fails the run instead
of becoming a pull request.

This portal fetches rather than the SDK pushing. The SDK's release job
holds the credential that publishes to the registry, and a second one
that could write here would widen what a mistake in that job reaches.
Everything needed to refuse a bad artifact is already here.

Nothing makes the handover happen, so SDK API drift asks the SDK weekly
what it has released and files an issue when a release is missing its

those versions are served still, so the registry would report a
reference missing for releases that never had one.
