Throwaway negative proof for LAB-1151 (#68): keeps the job named supply-chain but drops --all-features from the cargo deny command. 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

    • Strengthened pull request checks to detect unauthorised changes to security policies and workflows.
    • Added approval requirements for sensitive supply-chain configuration changes.
    • Improved validation for workflow tampering and fail-closed handling of deleted workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified how local security checks align with CI enforcement.
    • Documented supply-chain audit behaviour, tamper-evidence controls, approval requirements, and known limitations.

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 security workflow now compares pull-request changes with the base commit, checks gate tampering, and requires an approval marker for authorised changes. cargo deny checks default features. The Makefile and README document the updated CI and local behaviour.

Changes

Supply-chain gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow gate validation
.github/workflows/security.yml
The workflow checks out two commits, runs cargo deny without --all-features, and rejects unapproved changes to gate-defining files or workflows referencing supply-chain.
Gate behaviour documentation
Makefile, README.md
The documentation describes audit continuation, PR-only tamper validation, approval markers, deletion handling, impersonation protection, and bypass limitations.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 73e29

The required supply-chain validation no longer checks optional features, so a prohibited dependency could pass CI when enabled outside the default feature set. Restore full-feature checking before merging.

Restore all-feature dependency checks.

Line 115 checks only the default feature set. A banned crate introduced behind an optional feature can now pass the required supply-chain check. Restore --all-features so CI enforces the policy documented in deny.toml and README.md.

Proposed fix
-        run: cargo deny --locked check
+        run: cargo deny --locked --all-features check

kody code-review Bug medium

WHAT: changed=$(git diff --name-only HEAD^1 HEAD ... | tr '\n' ' ') runs under set -o pipefail but the command-substitution exit status is never checked (no set -e / no explicit failure handling), so if HEAD^1 cannot be resolved the substitution yields an empty string. WHY: when the merge-base parent is unresolvable (shallow-fetch race under queued re-runs, a checkout that isn't the expected merge ref, or the base commit not present at depth 2), git diff exits non-zero, changed becomes empty, and the very first branch prints 'Gate files unchanged vs PR base.' and exits 0 — the tamper check fails OPEN and lets a gate-file modification through, which is the exact opposite of its fail-closed contract. HOW: capture the diff into a temp and abort on git failure before evaluating, e.g. run git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^1 >/dev/null || { echo '::error::cannot resolve PR base'; exit 1; } first, or changed=$(git diff ...) || { echo '::error::gate diff failed'; exit 1; }.

Negative proof complete: supply-chain went RED via the gate tamper check (https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-rs/actions/runs/33334283209/job/99318271916) after dropping --all-features while keeping the job name. Closing unmerged.
