OSAC-4044: consolidate CI into single orchestrator with alls-green gate - #330
OSAC-4044: consolidate CI into single orchestrator with alls-green gate#330omer-vishlitzky wants to merge 8 commits into
Conversation
Create ci.yml orchestrator that calls all PR-triggered workflows via workflow_call, with central path filtering and a single check gate job. Any check failure blocks merging — no more silent pre-commit or unit test failures slipping through. Changes per workflow: - Replace pull_request trigger with workflow_call - Keep schedule/workflow_dispatch where present - Remove internal changes jobs (orchestrator handles path filtering) - Remove concurrency blocks (orchestrator handles concurrency) - Remove individual gate jobs (orchestrator check gate replaces them) - label-gate: accept caller-event input for merge_group auto-pass Ruleset required checks should be updated to: CI / check Assisted-by: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: omer-vishlitzky <omer.vishlitzky@gmail.com>

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
An unexpected caller-event value passes the gate silently.
caller-event is a free-form string. Both steps are conditional. If a caller passes any value other than merge_group or pull_request, both steps skip and check-labels succeeds. This job enforces lgtm, approved, and jira/valid-reference, so a typo in a future caller turns the gate into a no-op with a green result.
Add a step that fails on unrecognized values.

GitHub Actions reusable workflow caller permissions called workflow permissions can only be downgraded official documentation
💡 Result:
Yes, it is correct that in GitHub Actions, GITHUB_TOKEN permissions passed from a caller workflow to a reusable workflow can only be downgraded (made more restrictive), not elevated [1][2][3]. According to official GitHub documentation, nested reusable workflows require that permissions are maintained or reduced—not elevated—throughout the chain of workflows [4][5]. This means that if a calling workflow grants a certain level of permission (or uses the default permissions), the called reusable workflow cannot be configured to require or use a higher level of permission than what was provided by the caller [1][3]. Key points regarding these permissions: - Token permissions in nested workflows can only be the same or more restrictive than those granted by the parent workflow [1][2]. For example, in a chain of A > B > C, if workflow A grants read access to packages, workflows B and C cannot have write access [1][6]. - If job-level permissions are not specified in the calling job, the called workflow inherits the default permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN [1][3]. - This restriction is a security feature designed to prevent called workflows from gaining unintended access beyond what the caller has explicitly authorized [1][2]. Because of this, if a reusable workflow requires specific permissions (e.g., write access to code), the caller must grant at least those permissions for the call to succeed [7]. If the caller does not specify sufficient permissions, the workflow may fail validation [7].

Remove secrets: inherit from the E2E callers.
The local E2E workflows do not consume or forward caller secrets. The external workflows retrieve test secrets independently from Vault.

.github/workflows/check-floating-tags.yaml(file-level): Line 35 · [critical] logic-error
When called via workflow_call from ci.yml, github.event_name is 'workflow_call', not 'pull_request'. The dorny/paths-filter step gated on 'if: github.event_name == pull_request' is skipped entirely, causing steps.filter.outputs.changes to be undefined. The output defaults to '[]', and the check-floating-tags matrix job is skipped. The check-floating-tags job never runs on any pull request after this change.
Suggested fix: Change the guard to also match workflow_call (e.g., 'if: github.event_name == pull_request || github.event_name == workflow_call'), or remove the if entirely.
.github/workflows/check-generated-code.yaml(file-level): Line 32 · [critical] logic-error
Same pattern as check-floating-tags.yaml. The dorny/paths-filter step gated on 'if: github.event_name == pull_request' is false under workflow_call. The changes output defaults to '[]', and the check-generated-code matrix job is skipped. The check never runs on PRs after this change.
Suggested fix: Same fix - change the if condition to also handle workflow_call, or remove it entirely.
.github/workflows/helm-lint.yaml(file-level): Line 37 · [medium] logic-error
The dorny/paths-filter step is gated on 'if: github.event_name == pull_request', which is false under workflow_call. The downstream jobs have fallback conditions that evaluate to true when event_name is not pull_request, causing ALL matrix jobs to run unconditionally without per-component filtering. This wastes CI resources but does not skip checks.
Suggested fix: Change the if guard on the dorny/paths-filter step to also match workflow_call.
.github/workflows/ci.yml:143: [medium] CI-coverage-regression
The code filter uses predicate-quantifier: 'every' with an exclusion-based pattern. With 'every', the filter returns true only if EVERY changed file matches (is a code file, not excluded). A PR that changes both code and excluded files (e.g., main.go + README.md) would have code == 'false', causing unit tests, integration tests, and e2e tests to be skipped even though code changed. Previously unit-tests and integration-tests ran unconditionally; now they inherit this flawed filter, broadening the impact.
Suggested fix: Change predicate-quantifier from 'every' to 'some'. With 'some', the filter is true if at least one changed file is a code file.
.github/workflows/unit-tests.yml(file-level): Line 41 · [low] dead-code
The internal changes job output should-run evaluates to true unconditionally under workflow_call because github.event_name is workflow_call, not pull_request. The internal dorny/paths-filter step is also skipped. The entire internal changes job is dead code when called from ci.yml, since ci.yml handles path filtering upstream. Same applies to integration-tests.yml.
.github/workflows/ci.yml:133: [low] logic-error
The fulfillment-service filter excludes .claude/** while the old check-pull-request.yaml trigger paths did not. Changes to fulfillment-service/.claude/** will no longer trigger check-pr.
