ci(release): keep the release page a draft until every gate passes - #1004
The release page now stays a draft until the last gated job of release.yml publishes it, and a repository check refuses any workflow or config that could publish it earlier.
Why
The v0.8.1 release page went public at 17:55:07Z, when release-please created a published release. release.yml (dogfood gate, image smoke, signature verification) started only at 18:01:44Z, because it ran on release: published. The page was public before any gate had run.
What changes
release-please-config.json: draft: true and force-tag-creation: true. release-please creates a draft release and pushes the tag at once, so the next run still finds the previous release.
.github/workflows/release.yml:
Triggers on push: tags: ['v*'] (plus the existing workflow_dispatch) instead of release: published. GitHub sends no workflow event for draft releases.
verify gets contents: write: only callers with push access can see a draft.
New last job publish needs meta, dogfood-gate, image-smoke, build, release-files and verify. It runs gh release edit --draft=false --verify-tag and then reads isDraft back. It is idempotent on a rebuild by dispatch.
New tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py, run by make workflows-verify. Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 input or parse error (fails closed), 3 refused. It refuses:
a config without draft or force-tag-creation;
release.yml triggering on release published or created;
a publishing step (gh release create without --draft, gh release edit --draft=false, gh api on releases with draft=false, a release-creating action without draft: true) whose job does not transitively need every gate;
a publishing job whose if: uses always(), failure() or cancelled();
publishing from any workflow other than release.yml;
a release.yml in which no job publishes.
docs/deployment.md: new section "Release page stays a draft until the gates pass".
Evidence
--self-test covers 13 planted cases, each with the expected exit code and output.
Run against this tree: exit 0 (16 workflows).
Planted case on the real release.yml, publish needing only meta (it would publish before the dogfood job): exit 3, naming dogfood-gate, image-smoke, build, release-files, verify.
The origin/main config and release.yml: exit 3, naming the missing draft, the missing force-tag-creation, the release: published trigger, and the missing publish job.
make workflows-verify docs-verify py-lint rc 0; actionlint rc 0.
Not yet proven
It is not yet proven that a tag pushed by release-please (App token) starts release.yml through push: tags. If it does not, the release stays a draft, which is the safe failure, and gh workflow run release.yml --ref vX.Y.Z -f tag=vX.Y.Z runs the gates and publishes. The next release checks this: its published_at must be later than the time the verify signatures and provenance job finished.
0.8.1 is not released again.
Summary by Sourcery
Keep release pages private until every release gate passes, and enforce the publishing order in CI.
New Features:
Keep GitHub release pages in draft status until all release gates complete successfully.
Add automated policy checks that reject release workflows capable of publishing before every required gate or from an unauthorized workflow.
Bug Fixes:
Prevent release pages from becoming publicly visible before release verification jobs have run.
Enhancements:
Trigger release validation from pushed version tags and publish the draft release through a final gated job.
Harden workflow validation against unsafe release publishing commands, actions, triggers, and template injection.
Pass release workflow values through environment variables to avoid unsafe shell interpolation.
CI:
Run the release publish-order checker and expanded workflow security checks in CI and workflow verification.
Documentation:
Document the draft-release lifecycle, manual rebuild procedure, and publish-order policy.
release-please now creates a draft release and pushes the tag at once
(draft, force-tag-creation). release.yml runs on the tag push instead
of release: published, and its last job, publish, makes the page
public only after dogfood-gate, image-smoke, build, release-files and
verify have passed.
tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py, run by make workflows-verify,
refuses a config without draft or force-tag-creation, a release
trigger on published or created, a publishing step whose job does not
transitively need every gate or runs after a failed one, and any
publishing step outside release.yml.

This PR prevents release pages from becoming public before dogfood, image, build, artifact, and signature-verification gates pass by creating draft releases, running the release workflow from tag pushes, publishing only in a final dependency-ordered job, and enforcing the ordering with a repository-wide workflow/config checker.

Walkthrough
Release Please now creates draft releases and force-creates tags. Pushed version tags start a release workflow that publishes only after required jobs pass. A checker validates release configuration and publication order. Workflow checks also detect template injection, and release-build commands pass selected values through environment variables.
Changes: Draft Release Publication
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Draft release and gated publication .github/workflows/release.yml, release-please-config.json
Release Please is configured to create draft releases and force-create tags. A pushed v* tag starts the workflow. The publish job waits for required gates and verification, clears the draft flag, and checks that the release is no longer a draft.
Publication policy and workflow analysis tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py
The checker validates Release Please settings and release triggers. It detects release-publishing commands and actions, checks publishers for required gate dependencies, and applies input limits.
Checker validation and integration tools/ci/release_publish_order_selftest.py, .github/workflows/ci.yml, Makefile, docs/deployment.md
Planted cases cover checker policy and command analysis. CI and workflows-verify run the self-test and regular check. Deployment documentation describes the draft-release flow, manual dispatch, scan scope, and exit codes.
Workflow Expression Safety
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Pass workflow values through environment variables .github/workflows/release-build.yml, tools/ci/workflow-check.sh, tools/ci/workflow-check_test.sh
Release-build commands use environment variables for selected values. The workflow check includes template-injection findings and guidance to pass expressions through env. A planted case verifies refusal of an expression in a run command.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 9db2b
The release flow now keeps the release page a draft until the required gates pass, and a checker enforces that ordering in CI. The empty release date in smoke builds is replaced by the commit date, so it does not produce a blank build date. The remaining unknown is whether the release-please App-token tag push triggers the tag workflow. The PR documents a manual dispatch procedure as the fallback, and the release stays a draft in the meantime. No merge-blocking risk is established.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 9db2b
The change improves release-page protection by publishing only after the required checks succeed. No introduced or worsened security issue was established. Confidence remains limited by unconfirmed live trigger behavior and the existing ability for concurrent rebuilds to replace release assets.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The directly affected authority covers this repository's release visibility and release assets, with downstream impact on consumers of its images and chart. The inspected change does not introduce application tenant access or a new runtime service boundary.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The privileged publication sink receives the validated tag through an environment variable and runs only after all explicitly listed gates succeed. The new checker rejects detected publishers outside release.yml and selected failure-or-cancellation condition overrides; workflow auditing also adds template-injection findings to its refusal criteria.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Gate ordering does not make the release asset set atomic. Same-tag runs can interleave clobbering uploads with verification, and rebuilding an already-public release can expose replacement assets before verification completes. The base already allowed manual rebuilds and the same clobbering upload, so this is an inherited limitation rather than an established PR regression.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — As follow-on hardening, serialize same-tag release writers and define ownership of the verified asset snapshot, including recovery for partially replaced public assets. Separately confirm the App-token tag-trigger path in a controlled release run. These measures address inherited limitations and unconfirmed runtime behavior, not verified new vulnerabilities.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is thorough. It states the problem (v0.8.1 release page went public before gates ran), lists every file change, and gives evidence from self-test, exit codes, and make/actionlint runs. It also names what is not yet proven and a fallback procedure. It does not follow the repository template: the required '## Description' heading is absent (the author uses '## Why', '## What changes', '## Evidence' instead), and none of the five 'Pre-Merge Verification Checklist' items appear. The checklist items are not addressed. Items such as 'make verify-all', the 3D test requirement for public APIs, 'standardsctl compile-context --verify', and Conventional Commits are not mentioned. The commit override line does use the Conventional Commits format. Because the description is substantive but misses the template's required sections and checklist, the result is a FAIL under the mostly-complete rule only if those gaps are treated as largely incomplete; here the core content is present, so the check is marked PASS on content but the template gaps are noted.

Pull Request Overview
⚠️Resolve issues before merging
Two issues should be addressed before merging: malformed trigger input can escape the checker’s controlled error path, and a mutable test-fixture default can cause state leakage between cases. The policy checker is also a high-complexity file, increasing the value of reliable tests.
The end-to-end tag-push, final publication, and manual rebuild scenarios remain missing, so the central release lifecycle is not fully verified.
About this PR
Add automated integration coverage for the tag-push trigger, successful final publication, and rebuilding an already-published release; these scenarios are currently unverified.

**Tag names execute shell commands**
When a user able to push a matching `v*` tag (or dispatch the workflow) supplies a tag name containing shell syntax, a matching tag containing shell syntax is interpolated into the `run` script before shell parsing, so command substitution executes on the runner before the tag checks and the pusher gets code execution in the workflow job.
Pass the expression through a step environment variable, use the quoted variable in the script, and validate the complete permitted tag format.

**Verifier code can publish early**
When a release tag points to a commit whose checked-out verifier code publishes the release or invokes code that does, the verification step runs the checked-out `tools/release/verify-page.sh` with `GH_TOKEN` and this job's write-capable token in its environment; code in that script can publish the draft before verification completes, so a failed verification can still leave the release public.
Keep the write-capable token out of verifier execution, or run the verifier from a trusted immutable revision and allow only the final publish job to use a write-capable token.

**Unrecognized publishers pass validation**
When a workflow publishes through an unlisted action, indirect script, or direct REST/API request, `step_publish_reason` recognizes only its listed actions and shell patterns, so it misses these publishing paths; `evaluate` then accepts the workflow without requiring the gates, and the release becomes public early.
Make the check reject publishing paths beyond the currently recognized actions and command patterns, including indirect scripts and direct API requests.
Also at `tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py:180`, `tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py:183-200`, `tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py:202`.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Publishing workflows escape validation**
When a publishing workflow is saved with the `.yaml` extension, `evaluate` scans only `*.yml`, so it omits the `.yaml` workflow and the check passes even when that workflow publishes before the gates; comment 8 also notes that scripts beyond the first 500 lines are omitted.
Scan both supported workflow extensions and ensure the checker examines the full workflow scripts.
Also at `tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py:167`.

<issue_to_address>
**Long scripts bypass publication scanning**
When a workflow `run` script puts its publishing command after the first 500 lines, `shell_commands` silently scans only the first `MAX_LINES` lines, and `step_publish_reason` treats the truncated result as complete. A publishing command after that limit is therefore missed, so an early publication can pass the policy check.
Reject scripts exceeding `MAX_LINES` or inspect the entire script before deciding it contains no publishing command.

**Quoted text hides an immediate release**
When a `gh release create` command includes `--draft` as quoted text rather than as an option, `GH_DRAFT_FLAG_RE` treats `--draft` anywhere in the command as the option, including inside a quoted argument such as release notes. `step_publish_reason` then misses the non-draft `gh release create`, allowing an early or out-of-workflow publication to pass the ordering check.
Parse the command's shell tokens and recognize `--draft` only when it is an actual option.
</issue_to_address>
Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 6 findings to address first, and the release-files/verify job now receives a contents: write token, so a compromised or misbehaving step could alter repository contents or releases. Reverting removes that permission for future runs, but it would not undo changes already made with the token.
Blocking findings: .github/workflows/release.yml:48, .github/workflows/release.yml:158, tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py:49, tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py:319, tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py:167, and 1 more

Limit the job-wide contents: write on verify to the draft-page step.
The verify job grants contents: write at job level (lines 156-158). Only gh release download "$TAG" --dir page in the verify the release page step (line 194) needs that scope, because drafts are visible only with push access. The other steps run actions/checkout, sigstore/cosign-installer, tools/release/verify-selftest.sh and tools/release/verify.sh. They need only read access.
To keep the write scope off those steps, move the draft-page check into its own job with contents: write. Keep verify at contents: read. The page check compares against the tag commit that the tag step resolves (steps.tag.outputs.commit), so expose that commit as a job output and pass it to the new job through needs.

- Line 48: The tag expression in the release workflow is interpolated directly
into the shell script before validation, allowing shell metacharacters in a tag
to execute. Update the step containing the TAG assignment to pass the event
input and ref name through environment variables, then select between their
shell-variable values so the existing case validation receives the tag without
direct expression interpolation.

Pass the release tag through env with a strict vX.Y.Z pattern, and
move the release-build expressions into env as well. The workflow
check now refuses zizmor template-injection findings, with a planted
case.
The publish order check scans .yaml workflows too, parses --draft as
a shell token, refuses over-long scripts and malformed trigger types,
uses allow-lists for release actions and gh release subcommands,
refuses mutating gh api and curl calls, and reads repository scripts
a step runs one level deep. ci.yml runs it with its planted cases on
every pull request.

Replace the empty published_at value in the smoke build with a date from meta.
The release trigger was removed, so github.event.release.published_at is empty for every run of this workflow. The image-smoke job passes that empty value as DATE. A smoke image built this way can have a blank main.date value.
The release page is also still a draft at this point, so published_at cannot supply the date. Compute the date from the tag commit in meta, using the same format as release-build.yml (git log -1 --format=%cI). Expose it as an output and pass it here.
Add a date output to the meta job. Set it from the tag commit's timestamp. That job needs the tag commit available, for example through a checkout or a gh api call.

The image-smoke job sets DATE from an unavailable release event field, leaving
the smoke image date blank. Update the meta job to obtain the tag commit
timestamp in the same format as release-build.yml and expose it as a date
output, ensuring the tag commit is available; then set DATE in image-smoke from
that output.

- Around line 265-266: Update gh_release_reason to determine the effective
--draft/-d value from all flag occurrences, using gh’s accepted boolean forms
and the last occurrence, for both create and edit commands. Preserve fail-closed
behavior for unrecognized values, and add planted cases for edit with --draft=0
and create with --draft followed by --draft=False, expecting exit 3.

gh parses boolean flags with Go strconv.ParseBool, so --draft=0, =f
and =False publish a release, and the last occurrence wins. The check
now resolves the final --draft state from all ParseBool spellings and
fails closed on a value gh would refuse. Seven self-test cases cover
the forms; five of them fail against the previous literal match.
Bandit B105 on the gh command-name comparison carries a nosec reason.

- Around line 270-271: Update draft_state to stop interpreting tokens as flags
after the `--` delimiter, treating subsequent tokens as asset arguments; add a
planted test case for `gh release create v1 -- --draft=1` and verify it is not
classified as a draft release.

gh's pflag parser treats every token after "--" as a positional asset
name and consumes the token after a value-taking flag as its value, so
"-- --draft=1" and "--target --draft" create a published release. The
check now stops at "--" and skips the values of every value-taking gh
release create/edit flag (list taken from gh 2.102.1 --help). Three new
refusal cases fail against the previous parser.

Codacy flagged release_publish_order_check.py at 1120 non-comment
lines and read the "--" separator comparison in option_tokens as a
hardcoded password (Bandit B105). The planted cases and fixtures now
live in release_publish_order_selftest.py, which the check loads from
its own directory for --self-test, so the Makefile, CI step and docs
commands stay the same. A missing case module fails the self-test
with exit 1. The loop variable is renamed to arg.

The release page now stays a draft until the last gated job of
release.ymlpublishes it, and a repository check refuses any workflow or config that could publish it earlier.Why
The v0.8.1 release page went public at 17:55:07Z, when release-please created a published release.
release.yml(dogfood gate, image smoke, signature verification) started only at 18:01:44Z, because it ran onrelease: published. The page was public before any gate had run.What changes
release-please-config.json:draft: trueandforce-tag-creation: true. release-please creates a draft release and pushes the tag at once, so the next run still finds the previous release..github/workflows/release.yml:push: tags: ['v*'](plus the existingworkflow_dispatch) instead ofrelease: published. GitHub sends no workflow event for draft releases.verifygetscontents: write: only callers with push access can see a draft.publishneedsmeta,dogfood-gate,image-smoke,build,release-filesandverify. It runsgh release edit --draft=false --verify-tagand then readsisDraftback. It is idempotent on a rebuild by dispatch.tools/ci/release_publish_order_check.py, run bymake workflows-verify. Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 input or parse error (fails closed), 3 refused. It refuses:draftorforce-tag-creation;release.ymltriggering on releasepublishedorcreated;gh release createwithout--draft,gh release edit --draft=false,gh apion releases withdraft=false, a release-creating action withoutdraft: true) whose job does not transitively need every gate;if:usesalways(),failure()orcancelled();release.yml;release.ymlin which no job publishes.docs/deployment.md: new section "Release page stays a draft until the gates pass".Evidence

It is not yet proven that a tag pushed by release-please (App token) starts
release.ymlthroughpush: tags. If it does not, the release stays a draft, which is the safe failure, andgh workflow run release.yml --ref vX.Y.Z -f tag=vX.Y.Zruns the gates and publishes. The next release checks this: itspublished_atmust be later than the time theverify signatures and provenancejob finished.0.8.1 is not released again.
