Throwaway negative proof for LAB-1151 (#68): removes the three [bans].deny entries from deny.toml AND introduces native-tls into the graph. Expected: required supply-chain check goes RED via the gate tamper check (no approval marker in this body). Will be closed unmerged and the branch deleted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Added pull request checks to detect unauthorised changes to supply-chain security gates and related workflows.
    • Intentional gate changes require an exact approval marker; unapproved changes fail validation.
    • Added detection for deleted or shadow security workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified local and CI security checks, tamper-evidence behaviour, approval requirements, and known limitations.
  • Testing

    • Added regression coverage for legitimate, unauthorised, unrelated, and workflow-deletion scenarios.

The supply-chain gate read its policy and its own definition from the PR
head, so one commit could violate a ban and remove the ban. Deletion
already fails closed (required context, no bypass actors); this adds the
modification half: a tripwire step that diffs deny.toml and security.yml
against the PR base and fails the required check unless the PR body
carries [gate-change-approved].

Residual (documented in-step and in README): the tripwire itself lives in
the PR head; removing it in the same commit is deliberate evasion, only
closable by an org-ruleset workflows rule — escalated, not self-served.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR updates dependency bans, adds a pull-request supply-chain tamper check, and documents and tests protected-file, shadow-workflow, deletion, and approval-marker handling.

Changes

Supply-chain gate protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency policy update
crates/cachekit/Cargo.toml, deny.toml
The crate adds native-tls version 0.2.18. The dependency ban list removes bans for openssl-sys, native-tls, and toxiproxy_rust.
Pull-request tamper check
.github/workflows/security.yml
The workflow fetches two commits and compares protected files and supply-chain workflow references with HEAD^1. Unapproved changes fail the job. The exact approval marker changes the result to a warning.
Tamper-check validation and documentation
test_tamper.sh, Makefile, README.md, pr_body.md
The regression script tests protected changes, shadow workflows, workflow deletion, unrelated changes, and exact marker matching. Documentation describes the CI behaviour, approval marker, fail-closed handling, and known limitations.

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

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to eee2b

This change disables dependency bans and adds an unconditional native-tls dependency, allowing a prohibited TLS stack and potentially breaking the documented WASM build. The PR is not merge-ready; merge should be blocked until these changes are reverted or corrected.

native-tls 0.2.18 Cargo.toml wasm32-unknown-unknown target dependencies openssl

💡 Result:

The native-tls crate (version 0.2.18) does not explicitly support the wasm32-unknown-unknown target [1]. By design, native-tls acts as a wrapper around platform-native TLS implementations [2][3]. Its Cargo.toml configuration uses conditional compilation to select the backend based on the target OS [4][5]: - It uses SChannel on Windows [4][5]. - It uses Secure Transport (security-framework) on Apple platforms [4][5]. - It defaults to OpenSSL on all other platforms (including Linux, etc.) [4][2][5]. Because the wasm32-unknown-unknown target is not Windows or Apple, the crate attempts to include OpenSSL as a dependency [4][5]. This typically causes build failures when targeting WebAssembly, as OpenSSL is not a native library available in the wasm32-unknown-unknown environment [1]. Consequently, native-tls is generally not suitable for use in wasm32-unknown-unknown projects unless specific workarounds or alternative TLS abstractions (like rustls, which is often used in WASM contexts) are employed [1][6].

Citations:


Remove the unconditional native-tls dependency.

native-tls selects OpenSSL for wasm32-unknown-unknown, which can break the documented WASM build. It also conflicts with this SDK’s rustls-only policy. Remove it from crates/cachekit/Cargo.toml, or target-gate it outside the WASM graph if a fixture requires it.

Restore the ban list before any merge.

deny = [] disables the bans on openssl-sys, native-tls, and toxiproxy_rust. This contradicts the rustls-only policy documented in README.md and allows the new native-tls dependency to pass the ban check. Keep this state only for the throwaway negative proof. Restore all three bans before merging.

Use a private temporary directory for test fixtures.

A local attacker can pre-create /tmp/dummy or /tmp/fake.yml as symlinks. The script can then overwrite a file writable by the developer who runs it. Create one directory with mktemp -d, store both fixtures in it, and remove it with trap.
