Summary

  • Renders the CI badge column via a sized <img> tag instead of plain markdown image syntax: GitHub's actions badge.svg renders at its native ~20px height, illegible next to the table's other columns. Since it's a real SVG, height="28" scales it up cleanly.
  • Hardens how registry.yaml fields are rendered, closing an XSS-shaped issue CodeRabbit found and two related follow-ups:
    • format_ci() and format_repository() now HTML-escape the repository URL before interpolating it into the badge <img src="..."> and the markdown repository link — registry-schema.json's previous repository pattern ([^/]+) allowed characters like " and <, so a crafted value could break out of the HTML attribute or get parsed as raw HTML in the markdown link text.
    • render_readme() now substitutes the generated table via a replacement function instead of a string — passing it as a string makes Python's re module treat literal backslash-digit sequences (e.g. \1) in the data as regex backreferences, crashing generation.
    • registry-schema.json's repository pattern is tightened to GitHub's actual owner/repo charsets (owner: alphanumerics and single hyphens; repo: alphanumerics, ., _, -), closing this class of problem at the source instead of only at each render call site.
  • Adds regression tests for all three (badge escaping, link escaping, regex-backreference safety via the real render_readme()) and schema fixtures for the tightened pattern.

Test plan

  • uvx check-jsonschema --schemafile registry-schema.json --force-filetype yaml registry.yaml tests/registry/valid/*.yaml passes; every fixture under tests/registry/invalid/*.yaml (including the new repository-charset ones) is rejected
  • uv run tests/registry/test_validate.py passes
  • Verified each new/changed test actually catches its bug: reverted the corresponding fix, confirmed the test fails, restored the fix
  • uv run scripts/generate_registry.py regenerates README.md and registry.json with no drift against the committed versions

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

GitHub's actions badge.svg renders at its native ~20px height, which
reads as illegibly small next to the table's other columns. Since the
badge is a real SVG, render it via an <img> tag with an explicit
height instead of plain markdown image syntax, so it scales up
cleanly.

Walkthrough

Changes

Registry rendering safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Restrict repository values
registry-schema.json, tests/registry/invalid/bad-repository-special-chars.yaml
The repository schema now restricts GitHub owner and repository segments to the allowed character set. A fixture covers rejection of special-character repository URLs.
Escape generated registry output
scripts/generate_registry.py, README.md
The generator escapes repository links and CI badge URLs. README table substitution no longer interprets backreferences. CI badges use HTML with alt="Integration tests" and height="28".
Validate rendering safety
tests/registry/test_validate.py
Validation checks cover semantic errors, badge URL escaping, repository-link escaping, and literal backreferences in README output.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3709

Registry output now uses larger HTML CI badges and adds escaping safeguards, but owner validation remains slightly broader than GitHub's owner rules and the README replacement regression test can miss an implementation regression. These are bounded low-risk follow-ups.

registry-schema.json's repository pattern ([^/]+) allows characters
like '"' in the owner/repo segments, so a crafted repository value
could break out of the <img src="..."> attribute in the generated
README.md. Escape the URL with html.escape(quote=True) before
interpolation.

Fixed in 98d9d66: escape the badge URL with html.escape(quote=True) before interpolating it into the <img src="..."> attribute, so a crafted repository value (registry-schema.json's pattern allows quotes in the owner/repo segments) can no longer break out of it.

Two more injection/robustness issues in the same family as the
CodeRabbit-flagged badge src escaping:

- format_repository() dropped the repository field unescaped into a
  markdown link. CommonMark treats raw <tag> sequences in link text as
  HTML passthrough, so a crafted repository value injected HTML into
  the rendered README the same way the badge src did. Escape both the
  link text and the URL.
- render_readme() passed the generated table to pattern.sub() as a
  replacement *string*, which makes Python's re module interpret
  literal backslash-digit sequences (e.g. "\1") as backreferences and
  crash generation (re.error: invalid group reference). Use a
  replacement function instead, which is inserted literally.

Also tightens registry-schema.json's repository pattern to GitHub's
own owner/repo charset (alphanumerics, ., _, -), closing this class of
problem at the source rather than only at each render call site.

Adds regression tests for all three (badge escaping, link escaping,
regex-backreference safety) plus a schema fixture for the tightened
repository pattern.

Fixed two more in d3709d9, same family as the CodeRabbit finding above: format_repository() dropped the repository field unescaped into a markdown link (CommonMark treats raw <tag> sequences in link text as HTML passthrough, so this was injectable the same way), and render_readme() passed the generated table to pattern.sub() as a replacement string, so a literal \1-style sequence in the data would crash generation via Python's regex backreference handling. Also tightened registry-schema.json's repository pattern to GitHub's own owner/repo charset, closing this class of problem at the source. Added regression tests for all three.

Comment thread registry-schema.json Outdated
Comment thread tests/registry/test_validate.py Outdated
Two follow-up CodeRabbit findings on the previous commit:

- registry-schema.json used the same charset for both path segments,
  so it wrongly accepted punctuation-only-valid-in-repo-names (e.g.
  '.') in the owner segment (https://github.com/foo.bar/repo). GitHub
  usernames/orgs only allow alphanumerics and single hyphens; repo
  names additionally allow '.' and '_'. Split into two patterns.
- The regex-backreference regression test reimplemented render_readme()'s
  substitution locally instead of calling the real function, so it
  couldn't actually catch a regression back to pattern.sub(table, readme)
  in the source. Rewrote it to monkeypatch render_row() and call
  generate_registry.render_readme() against a temp file; verified it
  now fails against the reverted code and passes against the fix.

Adds a fixture for punctuation in the owner segment.

Fixed in 26306ea, both correct: (1) the schema used one charset for both owner and repo segments, wrongly accepting punctuation like . in the owner (GitHub usernames/orgs only allow alphanumerics + single hyphens) — split into separate patterns, added a fixture. (2) the regex-backreference regression test reimplemented render_readme()'s substitution locally instead of calling the real function, so it couldn't actually catch a regression in the source — rewrote it to monkeypatch render_row() and call generate_registry.render_readme() directly against a temp file; confirmed it now fails against the reverted code.
