On a fork that adds a root pnpm:devPreinstall hook, this install runs attacker-controlled code after .trusted has been checked out but before its script is moved and executed; pnpm explicitly documents that this hook runs during pnpm install, including in CI (pnpm lifecycle scripts). The hook can replace .trusted/.github/scripts/auto-changeset.sh or poison GITHUB_PATH, causing the later reset/rebuild to be skipped. Because the exported patch contains only changes relative to the fork head and the privileged workflow starts from that head, contributor-supplied committed dist files would then survive without appearing in the validated patch. The trusted operations need isolation from install hooks rather than relying on files and tooling that remain writable in the same runner.

When an untrusted build replaces an existing regular dist file with a symlink, git diff --cached --summary emits mode change 100644 => 120000 <path>, which does not match mode (120000|160000). The patch therefore passes this guard and the privileged job commits the symlink, despite the stated regular-files-only invariant. Git documents --summary as a human-oriented summary of mode changes, while raw output exposes both modes directly (git-diff documentation); validate the destination mode rather than matching only the create-mode form.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Fork release branches carry dist output produced while fork-controlled code ran. The bot comment, however, presents that output as a trusted CI build, so maintainers might merge it without reviewing it. Correct the message and fix the stale-branch comment before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to The new flow can promote fork-controlled executable output into release branches without independently establishing its build provenance. Those branches can also enter write-capable same-repository automation when their release PRs receive qualifying labels. Human review and final merge remain important controls, but branch creation alone does not make the code trusted. Retained concerns

- Around line 122-125: Update the workflow’s release push step to expose an
output only after the push succeeds, and gate the PR comment step on that output
instead of the remote branch-existence check. This prevents a no-op run from
commenting about a stale release branch.
- Around line 146-149: Update the provenance message in the `build_inputs`
workflow block to state that the release branch’s `dist` comes from the
untrusted fork PR job and must be reviewed before merging; remove the claim that
it was rebuilt from source or is a trusted CI build.

A bump label on a PR from a fork was skipped: the changeset job only runs for same-repo branches, because GITHUB_TOKEN cannot push to a fork. That left fork PRs with no CI versioning, and with no automated release branch.
Fork PRs now go through two steps:
auto-changeset.yml/fork-build(pull_request, read-only token, no secrets): builds the fork's source with the versioning script from the base branch. The job resets touched packages' committeddistto the base copy before rebuilding. The fork controls build inputs, so maintainers must review the resulting source anddist. The result is uploaded as a patch.auto-changeset-fork-release.yml(workflow_run, write token): runs nothing from the fork. It checks the artifact against the run's head SHA and the open PR, applies the patch as data, rejects anything outside.changeset/*.mdandpackages/*/{dist/**,package.json,CHANGELOG.md}(package.json may only move versions and semver/workspace@ecency/*ranges; no symlinks or hidden renames), and pushes the PR head plus the fork job's build artifact torelease/pr-<N>for maintainer review. It then comments on the PR with a link to open the release PR and lists changed build inputs (tsup and TypeScript config, package.json, lockfile, package scripts) the PR changed. Merging the release PR also marks the fork PR as merged.The untrusted build deliberately stays on
pull_requestrather thanpull_request_target, so fork install scripts cannot write the base branch's Actions cache.Same-repo PRs use the versioning script from the base branch, including when the PR branch predates that script. The inline script moved to
.github/scripts/auto-changeset.shand the label condition moved to agatejob. Workflow permissions are now read-only by default, with write granted per job.Regression tests cover fork dist reset, no-op bumps, patch path and mode checks, hidden renames,
.gitattributesmasking, and manifest edits. The curation desk date test was also corrected after its fixed fixture date expired.Summary by CodeRabbit
