fix(ci): reconstruct scorecard.yml, whose uses: line was spliced into a permission - #345
Conversation
… a permission The permissions sweep did more damage here than anywhere else in this class. Three things were wrong at once: 1. The `analysis` job's `permissions:` block was de-indented to column 2, so it read as a continuation of the workflow-level mapping rather than as part of the job. 2. The `uses:` key was appended to the END of the `id-token: write` line, making the reusable-workflow call part of a scalar value instead of a key. 3. The result did not parse, so GitHub never read the workflow: the run emitted zero jobs and the Scorecard check never appeared. The gate was ABSENT, not red. Because the `uses:` line was destroyed rather than merely displaced, this one could not be repaired by deleting a line like its nine siblings; the job had to be written out again. The reconstruction keeps this repo's explicit three-key workflow-level block (it never used `read-all`), restores the same pin that was already there (092dedada188f56c5915f74a5fd40aac093742c3), and gives the job the same three permissions as aerie#76, merged 2026-09-13. Verified with `yq` and `actionlint`, both clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0178nN4Nm3neFRy5K9StZKnB

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: Internal

CWE: CWE-732 — Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
Remove secrets: inherit from the Scorecard job. The pinned reusable workflow declares no secrets and does not use the secrets context. It only checks out the repository, runs Scorecard, and uploads results. Do not pass caller secrets to this workflow.

The job-level `permissions:` block REPLACES the workflow-level block, so the reusable workflow's own `actions: read` cannot elevate the caller's token. Without it the caller's effective `actions` permission is `none`, and Scorecard's Packaging check (Actions.ListWorkflowRunsByFileName) can error. Caught by CodeRabbit on palimpsest-license#151; verified against the whole family: 11 of 13 scorecard.yml callers omit it, including aerie which is already on main.

The worst-damaged of the ten. This one could not be repaired by deleting a line.
Three defects at once:
analysisjob'spermissions:block was de-indented to column 2, so it read as acontinuation of the workflow-level mapping rather than as part of the job.
uses:key was appended to the end of theid-token: writeline, making thereusable-workflow call part of a scalar value instead of a key.
Because the
uses:line was destroyed rather than merely displaced, there was nothing todelete — the job had to be written out again. The reconstruction:
read-all),092dedada188f56c5915f74a5fd40aac093742c3),Nothing else in the repo is touched.
Why this was never noticed
A workflow that fails to parse does not go red. GitHub emits zero jobs, so the Scorecard
check run is never created and the context is absent from the rollup.
required ∩ failingis satisfied vacuously, and the board reads clean.
An unrepaired repo therefore looks greener than a repaired one. When this merges you will
see checks appear where there were none before. That is the gate arming, not this PR introducing
failures.
Verification
yq e '.'— parses (it did not before)actionlint— cleanMerging nothing — this is for your review, and of the ten it is the one most worth a human
eye, because it is a reconstruction rather than a deletion.
