Outcome

Consolidates the sound intent of #661, #682, and #683 onto current main without importing their stacked/conflicting history.

  • adds a NUL-safe language-policy invariant gate
  • masks quoted historical substrings instead of discarding whole lines
  • discovers tracked workflows before requiring a YAML parser
  • fails closed when workflows exist but no parser is available
  • uses a portable byte-level forbidden-control check
  • wires both gates into the reusable governance workflow
  • adds executable positive and negative fixtures

Planted controls

Verified locally:

  • quoted history: pass
  • quoted history plus a live violation on the same line: fail
  • blockquoted history: pass
  • blank policy cell: fail
  • no workflows and no parser: pass
  • workflow present and no parser: fail
  • valid workflow YAML: pass
  • invalid workflow YAML: fail
  • all 157 currently tracked Standards workflows: parse

Also passed just validate, just test, bash -n, and git diff --check.

Supersedes #661, #682, and #683 after merge.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated checks to keep project language-policy requirements consistent.
    • Added validation to ensure workflow configuration files contain valid YAML.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved detection and reporting of policy drift, unsupported content, missing validation tools, and invalid workflow syntax.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for policy content variations, missing workflows or parsers, valid configurations, invalid YAML, and automatic temporary test clean-up.

Walkthrough

The PR adds language-policy and workflow-parsing validation scripts, tests pass and fail cases, and runs both checks from the reusable governance workflow.

Changes

Governance gates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Language-policy validation
tools/policy/check-language-policy.sh
The script scans tracked CLAUDE.md files and checks runtime mappings, table content, and enforcement entries.
Workflow parsing validation
tools/policy/check-workflows-parse.sh
The script finds tracked workflows, selects an available YAML parser, checks YAML parsing, detects forbidden control characters, and returns failures.
Workflow wiring and gate tests
.github/workflows/governance-reusable.yml, scripts/tests/policy-gates-test.sh
The reusable workflow fetches and runs both checks. The test script uses isolated Git fixtures to verify valid and invalid policy and workflow cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05c16

External repositories using the reusable governance workflow can fail before policy validation runs because the workflow does not fetch the new policy script. Merge should wait until the sparse checkout includes that script.

Pull Request Overview

This PR improves governance by implementing 'fail closed' logic for workflow validation and refining language policy checks to ignore historical context. However, a critical logical error in the has_forbidden_control function within check-workflows-parse.sh prevents diagnostic messages from being correctly reported.

While the PR is generally up to standards, there is a notable gap in the language policy validation: certain invariant checks are performed against raw files rather than filtered content, which undermines the goal of ignoring historical quotes. Additionally, the test suite is currently missing scenarios for mandatory 'Bun' policy entries, and the primary policy scripts are flagged as complex and uncovered by automated tests.

About this PR

  • The test suite (policy-gates-test.sh) does not verify failure cases for missing mandatory Bun/Deno policy entries, nor does it explicitly test the forbidden control character detection message.

Test suggestions

  • Found: Language policy passes when violations are inside quotes or blockquotes
  • Found: Language policy fails when a violation occurs outside of quoted text on the same line
  • Found: Language policy fails if a table contains an empty first cell (blanking scar)
  • Missing: Language policy fails if required 'Bun' or 'Deno (use Bun)' entries are missing
  • Found: Workflow check passes if no workflows are tracked, even without a YAML parser
  • Found: Workflow check fails if workflows exist but no supported YAML parser is found
  • Found: Workflow check fails on invalid YAML and reports forbidden control characters if present
  • Missing: Unit test coverage for logic in tools/policy/check-language-policy.sh
  • Missing: Unit test coverage for logic in tools/policy/check-workflows-parse.sh
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Missing: Language policy fails if required 'Bun' or 'Deno (use Bun)' entries are missing
2. Missing: Unit test coverage for logic in tools/policy/check-language-policy.sh
3. Missing: Unit test coverage for logic in tools/policy/check-workflows-parse.sh

🔴 HIGH RISK

The diagnostic logic for forbidden control characters will never trigger because the END block overrides the success exit code. Use a flag to track the match and exit correctly in the END block:

Try running the following prompt in your coding agent:

Fix the awk script in has_forbidden_control to use a variable (e.g., 'found') to track matches and exit with !found in the END block, ensuring exit 0 is returned only when a forbidden character is detected.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

This invariant check is both brittle and inconsistent: using grep -F fails to account for Markdown formatting (like cell padding), and evaluating the raw file instead of the filtered $live variable risks false positives from historical quotes. Consider using a regex that accounts for optional whitespace and piping the $live variable into the check.

fail "$file" 'Policy directs runtime dependencies into deno.json.'

⚪ LOW RISK

The trailing dot in the first alternation matches any character. Using a word boundary \b or escaping the dot is safer to avoid matching unintended extensions like .tsx.

that path in the sparse checkout, or select the current standards revision when
running in this repository, while retaining the standards self-lint fallback.
Ensure the existing invocation of check-language-policy.sh resolves
successfully.

In `@tools/policy/check-language-policy.sh`:
- Line 34: Update the policy invariant checks in the language-policy script to
inspect the historical-text-masked content rather than the raw file, including
the checks around the table and enforcement patterns. Preserve detection of
active policy violations while ignoring quoted or blockquoted historical text,
and add fixtures covering quoted table and enforcement-text examples.

In `@tools/policy/check-workflows-parse.sh`:
- Line 44: Update the awk logic used by has_forbidden_control so it tracks
whether a forbidden control byte was found and exits from END using that found
flag, rather than unconditionally exiting 1. Add a workflow fixture containing a
forbidden control byte to verify detection while preserving success for clean
workflows.
