 name: MoQ draft drift
 
+# Notices when the IETF advances the MoQ Transport draft past the version this repo targets.
+#
+# Supply-chain posture (matches public-repo-guard.yml, the house standard in this repo):
+#   * The drift-check script is VENDORED-FIRST. If `scripts/check-moq-draft-version.sh` exists in
+#     the repo, that file runs and nothing is fetched — the gate is reviewable in-tree.
+#   * When it is absent, the fallback fetch is pinned to a COMMIT SHA (not `main`) and its SHA-256 is
+#     verified before the file is made executable. Previously this pulled `main` unpinned with no
+#     integrity check, so anyone who could push to wave-av/wave-moq-edge — or anyone who compromised
+#     it — got code execution in every repo that adopted this template, on every PR.
+#   * `actions/checkout` is pinned to a commit SHA, not a mutable `v5` tag.
+#   * The job declares least-privilege `contents: read` and does not persist the checkout credential.
+#
+# Refreshing the pin: bump SCRIPT_COMMIT to the new wave-moq-edge commit and set SCRIPT_SHA256 to
+#   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wave-av/wave-moq-edge/<sha>/scripts/check-moq-draft-version.sh | shasum -a 256
+# Both values change together, in a reviewed commit. A pin that is bumped without the digest is the
+# same hole with extra steps.
+#
+# Note on `pull_request`: this trigger runs with a read-only token and no secrets, so executing a
+# contributor's vendored script is ordinary CI behaviour. Do not convert this to
+# `pull_request_target` — that would hand a fork's code a write-scoped token.
