Motivation

Follow-up to #887, which merged with review findings outstanding. This addresses the ones on code this repository owns: bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py, the CI job, and .pre-commit-config.yaml. Findings on the contents of vendored third-party trees are out of scope, since this repository vendors those trees rather than owning them.

Brief description

The upstream fetch comes off the PR gate. validate-workspace-dependencies had no path filter and was required on everything, so a docs-only PR still ran eight git init / fetch / sparse-checkout sequences against third-party hosts, with no retry. One rate limit or renamed branch blocked unrelated merges. One pin is a personal fork, sjahr/ridgeback.

The job is now two. The required one runs structural checks with no network. --verify-upstream moves to verify-upstream-snapshots, keyed to the same weekly cron as integration-test-weekly rather than the 6-hourly one, since drift moves slowly and each run fetches eight external repositories. It does not run on push, which would turn an unreachable upstream into a red main.

A new upstream-drift-issue job files or updates an assigned issue when it fails, mirroring weekly-failure-issue. Without it, moving the check off the gate would just mean nobody hears about failures. It files against moveit_pro through a cross-repo App token because this repository has issues disabled.

What that trades. Comparison against upstream now happens weekly rather than on every PR. The manifests record provenance, not content hashes: commit is the immutable record of what was pulled, and --verify-upstream is what checks the files against it. An earlier revision of this PR added per-file and whole-tree digests to close the pre-merge gap; per review they were more machinery than the problem needs, since the same author writes both the file and its hash, so they were removed.

Validator fixes.

  • Pointer-shaped bytes are trusted only where .gitattributes tracks the path. effective_file_digest accepted any pointer-shaped text as proof of content equality. Upstream that is right, because the fetch sets GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1. On the candidate side git has already smudged a real LFS file, so pointer text there is an ordinary file shaped like a pointer, and the validator was accepting its embedded oid as upstream content it never matched.
  • Apache detection missed phoebe_ws, which writes its grant as LICENSES/Apache-2.0.txt with a COPYING reading "licensed under Apache-2.0". The filename filter skipped the LICENSES directory and the content match wanted the literal "Apache License", so unclassified_apache_modifications never ran on the one tree vendoring NASA Apache-2.0 material. Turning it on surfaced 12 modified paths carrying no license classification. That repository's own COPYING says only src/phoebe_sim/description/assets/trainer_hatch/** is Apache-2.0 and the rest is BSD-3-Clause, so those paths are now declared in apache_excluded_paths.
  • Exhausting the upstream budget used to stop the loop, taking every later manifest's offline check with it, so fixing one manifest produced an unrelated failure on the next run. Only the upstream fetch stops now.
  • A path declared twice in modified_paths was accepted, and the last entry silently won. It is now rejected.
  • An unreadable file raised PermissionError and aborted the run instead of reporting an error.
  • pruned_paths is renamed pruning_notes. The validator parsed it, type-checked it, and never read it, so its entries read as enforced when nothing consumed them. The contents are prose rather than paths.

Not addressed

  • Deletion reconciliation. Nothing flags a file that exists upstream and is missing from a vendored tree on the PR path. --verify-upstream catches it weekly.
  • The moveit_pro_sam3 dependency ban. validate_optional_model_dependencies forbids any package.xml from declaring it while 20 files reference it, and lab_sim carries 7 permanent test skips citing that rule. Fixing it moves the CI build closure and deserves its own review. Related to the "too strict, will become a roadblock" note on this PR.
  • Nested .gitattributes are ignored. lfs_tracked_patterns reads only the repository root. No vendored tree ships one today, but a future re-vendor that retains one would get the wrong answer about which paths are LFS-tracked.
  • Pin drift and re-vendoring tooling. Tracked in PickNikRobotics/moveit_pro#22309.

How it was tested

  • python3 bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py passes.
  • python3 bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py --verify-upstream passes against all 8 real upstream repositories.
  • pytest bin/tests/test_validate_workspace_dependencies.py: 115 passed.
  • pre-commit run on every changed file: all hooks pass.

Two tests fail locally and pass in CI: test_cyclic_declared_vendored_path_fails_offline and test_unsafe_retained_symlink_fails_offline[link]. Both are pre-existing on main and come down to the Python version. Python 3.13+ resolves a symlink loop without raising, so the validator reports "missing" where the tests pin the older "could not be resolved" wording. Both paths still error, and CI pins 3.12. I left them alone, because the fix is error-string churn unrelated to these findings.

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated verification for vendored dependency snapshots, including Git LFS integrity, license classification, and upstream drift detection.
    • Added automated issue reporting when scheduled or manual upstream verification identifies drift.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded dependency maintenance guidance with upstream metadata, retained paths, validation commands, and timing expectations.
  • Chores

    • Updated dependency metadata terminology and validation coverage for modified files and snapshot integrity.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates vendored dependency metadata and validation. The validator adds Git LFS-aware hashing, Apache license detection, and modified-path parsing. CI adds scheduled upstream verification and drift issue reporting.

Changes

Snapshot integrity and upstream verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest metadata and license contracts
bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py, src/external_dependencies/*/UPSTREAM.yaml
Manifests now use pruning_notes. Validation parses modified-path entries and detects Apache license files.
LFS-aware upstream comparison
bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py
The validator reads .gitattributes, applies repository-aware LFS hashing, validates upstream entries, and continues structural checks after the upstream budget is exhausted.
Validator fixtures and regression coverage
bin/tests/test_validate_workspace_dependencies.py
Tests cover digest-bearing modified paths, tracked and untracked LFS pointer-shaped files, Apache license detection, and updated manifest fixtures.
CI monitoring and repository guidance
.github/workflows/ci.yaml, .pre-commit-config.yaml, README.md
CI separates local validation from scheduled upstream verification and reports deduplicated drift issues. Documentation and hooks preserve vendored bytes and describe dependency refresh validation.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to cbc5c

Required CI can fail while offline validation still accepts unpinned modified content, and LFS snapshots may be misclassified. These issues should be fixed before merge.

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.

GitHub Actions expressions needs.<job_id>.result cancelled always() success skipped documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, status check functions like success, failure, cancelled, and always are primarily used within if conditionals to control the execution flow of jobs and steps [1][2]. Key Concepts and Usage: Status Check Functions (in 'if' conditionals): - success: Returns true when all previous steps have succeeded [1]. This is the default condition applied if no other status function is specified in an if conditional [1][2]. - failure: Returns true when any previous step of a job fails [1]. For dependent jobs, it returns true if any ancestor job fails [1]. - cancelled: Returns true if the workflow was cancelled [1]. - always: Causes the step or job to always execute, regardless of whether previous steps or dependent jobs succeeded, failed, or were cancelled [1][3]. It is often used to ensure cleanup tasks run [1]. Job Dependencies (needs.<job_id>.result): - In workflows, you can use needs.<job_id>.result to check the status of a dependent job [4]. The possible values for this property are success, failure, cancelled, or skipped [4]. - By default, if a job fails or is skipped, all downstream jobs that depend on it are also skipped [3]. To override this and allow a job to run even if a dependency failed or was skipped, you must use the always function in the job-level if conditional [3]. Important Considerations: - Avoid using always for tasks that could suffer from critical failures (e.g., fetching sources), as the workflow might hang until it times out [1]. The recommended alternative for running regardless of outcome is if: ${{!cancelled }} [1]. - When referencing a job's result for conditional logic, remember that a job skipped due to path or branch filtering will report a status of success [5]. - For debugging, GitHub Actions provides job condition expression logs (available for job-level if conditions) which show the evaluation of the expression (e.g., Evaluating, Expanded, Result) [6].

Do not create a drift issue for a canceled verification.

When verify-upstream-snapshots is canceled, its result is cancelled, so the current condition can run upstream-drift-issue and open a false drift issue. Require needs.verify-upstream-snapshots.result == 'failure' instead.

actions/create-github-app-token v3.2.0 permission-issues unspecified default permissions installation

💡 Result:

In the actions/create-github-app-token action, the permission-* inputs allow you to explicitly define a subset of permissions for the generated GitHub App installation token [1][2]. ### How Permissions Work * Default Behavior: If no permission-* inputs are provided, the generated token inherits all permissions currently granted to the GitHub App installation [1][2][3]. * Explicit Configuration: When you specify permission-* inputs (e.g., permission-issues: write), the action requests a token restricted to exactly those permissions [2][4]. * Important Constraint: The permissions requested via permission-* inputs must be a subset of the permissions already granted to the GitHub App installation [1][5]. Attempting to request a permission that the installation does not possess will result in an error [1][3]. ### Common Permission Issues * "Permission" Enforcement: Prior to version 2.0.4, the permission-* inputs did not consistently restrict the token, meaning users often had broader access than intended [4]. Since this was fixed, workflows that relied on "inherited" (implicit) permissions may fail if they attempt actions not explicitly included in their new, restricted permission-* definitions [6][4]. * Missing Permissions: If your workflow fails with a 403 or "Resource not accessible by integration" error, the generated token likely lacks a specific permission required for the API endpoint you are calling [4][7]. * Troubleshooting Tip: To identify the missing permission, you can temporarily remove all permission-* inputs to allow the token to inherit all installation permissions [6]. If the workflow succeeds, you can then re-add permissions one by one until you identify the specific one required [6]. * Consult API Docs: Always verify the specific permissions required for the GitHub REST API endpoint you are using, as these are often more granular than what might be obvious from the action's inputs [7]. * Installation vs. App Permissions: Remember that GitHub App installation permissions are distinct from the app's overall permissions [1][5]. If you add new permissions to a GitHub App, an administrator must approve them for existing installations before the action can use them [1][3]. The v3.2.0 release (May 2026) focused on enterprise support and input validation rather than changes to the core permission system [8]. If you are encountering issues, ensure that the permissions are correctly defined according to the permission-<key> syntax [1][2].

Limit the generated App token to issue access.

upstream-drift-issue passes this token to actions/github-script for issue searches, comments, and creation. Without permission-issues: write, actions/create-github-app-token@bcd2ba49218906704ab6c1aa796996da409d3eb1 inherits all permissions granted to the installation. Add permission-issues: write to the action inputs.

Implement SHA-256-bound modified_paths entries.

The validator accepts a bare path and never compares a declared digest with candidate content. The fixture helper also ignores _content. Therefore offline validation cannot detect modified vendored bytes as required by this PR; a changed file can be listed as modified without a content pin.

  • bin/validate_workspace_dependencies.py#L252-L272: parse and validate a strict path-plus-SHA-256 entry, then verify the declared digest against the candidate file during structural validation.
  • bin/tests/test_validate_workspace_dependencies.py#L582-L584: render the digest in modified_entry and add valid-entry and digest-mismatch coverage.

Resolve effective Git attributes before trusting an LFS pointer.

lfs_tracked_patterns(REPOSITORY_ROOT) reads only the root .gitattributes, while snapshot_files(..., verify_lfs_tracking=True) uses file_is_lfs_tracked before trusting pointer content. This can miss nested LFS rules and ignore later attribute overrides, causing valid pointers to produce false modified-path errors. Resolve effective attributes per path with Git-compatible precedence.

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.
