Motivation

Address the review findings from #887 without adding the content-hashing system rejected in review. Keep upstream comparison manual and repair the failing report publication job.

Brief description

  • Keep provenance as upstream repository, pinned commit, retained paths, and documented modifications. No stored per-file or whole-tree hashes.
  • Run offline structural validation in CI. Run python3 bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py --verify-upstream manually after re-vendoring. Remove the proposed weekly verification and cross-repository issue automation.
  • Use Git's effective attributes before trusting LFS pointers, including nested rules and overrides. Preserve useful Git failure diagnostics.
  • Recognize Apache grants in LICENSES/ and SPDX-only text. Continue structural checks after the upstream network budget expires; reject duplicate modified-path entries.
  • Rename descriptive pruned_paths entries to pruning_notes. No vendored source bytes change.
  • Serialize report publication and cleanup through one repository-wide queued gh-pages writer lock. Advertise Pages links only after deployment succeeds; otherwise link to run artifacts/logs.
  • Remove obsolete hash fixtures and redundant validator state. Preserve the existing unexpected-submodule regression test.

The existing optional-model/submodule policy is unchanged. Verification compares against a pinned commit, not the newest upstream model. Overlapping filenames in moveit_pro_empty_ws were checked: its workflow lacks these publication/validation jobs, its README is template-only, and its pre-commit config already excludes vendored sources. No upstream-first patch is needed.

How it was tested

Candidate: b277487ff665a01c96c56c8be5b978b1136ac9e7.

  • Python 3.12: python -m pytest bin/tests -q: 132 passed.
  • Offline validator: passed for 9 vendored sources and 2 optional ML submodules.
  • Full pre-commit on changed files and git diff --check: passed on the candidate.
  • Manual upstream comparison passed on cb5fe9015177df787e254a6b46bc90fd01b5deea; the only later change restores an existing test. This is not a fresh network-validation claim for the final SHA.
  • Independent exact-SHA role reviews passed. These were Hermes executors of the named role definitions, not Claude processes. Remote CI is separate and remains authoritative.

    • Serialized Pages publishing and cleanup operations to prevent conflicting updates.
    • Added automated upstream-drift issue reporting when verification fails.

Walkthrough

The change updates vendored dependency metadata, strengthens snapshot validation, adds regression coverage, separates offline policy checks from upstream verification, and serializes GitHub Pages writes with outcome-aware PR reporting.

Changes

Snapshot integrity and CI verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest metadata and snapshot guidance
src/external_dependencies/*/UPSTREAM.yaml, .pre-commit-config.yaml, README.md
Manifests now use pruning_notes. Documentation and hooks describe exact-byte preservation and updated refresh metadata.
Manifest and snapshot validation
bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py
Validation now parses modified paths, detects Apache license material, applies repository-aware Git LFS checks, and continues structural validation after upstream budget exhaustion.
Validation fixtures and regression coverage
bin/tests/test_validate_workspace_dependencies.py
Tests cover LFS tracking, pointer-shaped files, Apache licenses, duplicate paths, malformed attributes, and offline CI policy checks.
CI verification and Pages publication
.github/workflows/ci.yaml, .github/workflows/cleanup-pr-reports.yaml, bin/tests/test_ci_publication.py
CI separates local dependency checks from upstream verification, shares a queued Pages write lock, and reports published links only after successful deployment.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b2774

This change tightens vendored-dependency metadata and snapshot validation, serializes report publishing so concurrent runs no longer clash, and links published report pages only when deployment actually succeeds. The workflow concurrency settings are valid, the offline validation job matches the tests that describe it, and the documented guarantees line up with what the tooling actually checks. No outstanding behavior or operational risk was found.

Explanation

The PR is not low-risk under this check. The authoritative diff changes .github/workflows/ci.yaml and .github/workflows/cleanup-pr-reports.yaml. It changes GitHub Pages deployment behavior and concurrency, adds contents: read permissions and a timeout to the dependency-validation job, changes report publication comments based on deployment outcome, and changes the cleanup writer lock. These are direct CI/CD, deployment, and permissions changes. The PR also changes the CI dependency-validation gate from targeted tests with upstream verification to the full offline test suite.

Use a separator-aware matcher for slash-bearing .gitattributes patterns.

fnmatch.fnmatch allows * to match /, unlike Git attribute matching. For example, meshes/*.bin matches meshes/other/dir/x.bin here, although Git does not apply that pattern across path components. This can make file_is_lfs_tracked pass trust_lfs_pointer=True to effective_file_digest for an untracked pointer-shaped file. Match slash-bearing patterns against the full relative path without crossing separators, and apply patterns without / at any directory depth.

Retarget the CI assertion that checks LFS verification.

The test slice includes verify-upstream-snapshots and other jobs. The assertions can pass when the LFS steps are moved to another job in the slice. Start the slice at verify-upstream-snapshots so the test enforces the job that performs the LFS check.

Addresses the review findings on #887 and the review of this PR.

The required job now runs structural checks only. --verify-upstream moves to a
weekly job that files an assigned issue when it fails, so merging no longer
depends on eight third-party hosts being reachable with no retry, while the
comparison against upstream still happens on a schedule.

Also: LFS pointer text is trusted only where .gitattributes tracks the path,
Apache detection recognizes an SPDX identifier in a LICENSES directory, a spent
upstream budget no longer skips later manifests' offline checks, a duplicate
modified_paths entry is rejected, and unreadable files report an error instead
of a traceback.

Per review, the manifests record provenance rather than content hashes. The
upstream commit is the immutable record of what was pulled, and
--verify-upstream is what checks the files against it.

Update the LFS workflow contract test.

test_dependency_policy_ci_fetches_and_verifies_lfs_objects still extracts validate-workspace-dependencies and requires lfs: true plus git lfs fsck --objects. This PR removes both from that job. The job runs this test at .github/workflows/ci.yaml Line 849, so the PR-local validation job fails before it runs the validator. Point this test at verify-upstream-snapshots.

This example workspace is not pretending to be able to control hardware, so it may not matter that much if the URDFs get a little bit out of date with the latest hardware models. Do we need to track the upstream that closely? I'm not sure that's a requirement.

Updated in b277487 and replied to all four open review threads.

Kept provenance as repository, pinned commit, and paths. Removed the proposed weekly verification and issue-reporting automation; upstream comparison stays manual. This does not require models to track the latest upstream. Fixed effective LFS attributes and the shared gh-pages publication race. The overlapping empty-workspace files need no upstream-first change.

132 tests, full changed-file pre-commit, and the applicable exact-SHA agent gates passed. Remote CI is still pending; human review remains outstanding.

If we want to automate the sync, we should file a separate issue explicitly scoped to that work.

Hopefully better now. I also broke out a refresh function into #958.

This example workspace is not pretending to be able to control hardware, so it may not matter that much if the URDFs get a little bit out of date with the latest hardware models. Do we need to track the upstream that closely? I'm not sure that's a requirement.

I trimmed the scope on this considerably, and the updates are manual now. The follow up PR adds a repo/component refresh function. If we want to have that run on CI, we can file an issue for it.
