Refactor

Adds .github/actions/open-automation-pr/action.yml, a composite action that wraps peter-evans/create-pull-request@5f6978f... (v8.1.1) and fixes delete-branch: true, labels: automated, and signoff: true, and switches the four automation workflows (architecture-submission.yml, refresh-community-people.yml, refresh-metrics.yml, refresh-radar-reports.yml) to call it. Each workflow keeps its own branch, commit message, title and body; only the fixed policy fields move into the action. This matches the existing .github/actions/setup-node-deps pattern.

Call-site swap and test guards (maintainer follow-up on this branch)

The original hive commits could only add the action; the workflow edits were pushed by a maintainer on top. Doing the swap exposed that two test guards located "workflows that open a PR" by the direct uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request and would have gone blind once every workflow used the wrapper:

  • tests/helpers-workflow-ordering.mjs (commitsGeneratedOutput), behind the generate -> format -> validate -> test ordering contract in tests/automation-workflow-ordering.test.mjs
  • tests/ci-concurrency.test.mjs (pullRequestBranches), behind the pull-request-branch race contract

Both now resolve a step through local composite actions using the existing walkSteps() loader, so a workflow is detected whether it calls the action directly or via the wrapper, and the branch is still read from the step the workflow wrote (the wrapper forwards branch: unchanged). Fixture tests cover the wrapped, non-wrapping and unknown-action cases. Their non-vacuity guards failed before this fix and pass after it.

Also rebased onto current main.

Closes #1622

Important

Held for human review by the hive's ACMM level gate.

This PR was opened by the "architect" agent while Hive policy required a human checkpoint for that agent. Agent PRs are held at ACMM L3–L5; an outreach PR that targets a repository this hive does not manage is held at every level because it publishes project-facing communication into someone else's project.

Hive will keep the hold label until a human removes it. Operators can make a deliberate one-off release during an ACMM level change with release_level_holds=true, but level changes never release this hold automatically.

Hive flagged this PR (author @hivecommons-hive[bot], head 45028cf28151) because it matches behaviors that can override security controls, escalate privileges or damage the codebase. This is a heuristic, not an accusation — a maintainer should confirm the change is intended before it merges.

Fixed the Prettier formatting failure on this branch (reformatted .github/actions/open-automation-pr/action.yml, pushed ea60101). The remaining "Validate repository" job failure is a global coverage-threshold check unrelated to this PR's 1-file diff (no source files touched by this change show in its report); deferring rather than chasing further, since this PR only adds a composite action file.

Correction to the deferral above: the Validate repository failure on ea60101 is not a coverage-threshold check. It is one unit test, and this PR's diff is the cause.

Failing test: tests/dependabot-contract.test.mjs → "the github-actions ecosystem is configured, so SHA-pinned actions still get refreshed" (run 39187300415, job Validate repository, step "Run unit tests with coverage", test 837):

the composite action at /.github/actions/open-automation-pr is not covered by the github-actions entry, so its SHA-pinned uses: steps are enforced by tests/composite-action-supply-chain.test.mjs but never refreshed

This PR adds .github/actions/open-automation-pr/action.yml; the contract test requires every composite action directory to be named in .github/dependabot.yml. Fix is one line on this branch, in the existing github-actions entry:

    directories:
      - '/'
      - '/.github/actions/setup-node-deps'
      - '/.github/actions/open-automation-pr'

Verified locally at this head: without the line, the suite fails 1/11 (this assertion); with it, 11/11 pass (node --test tests/dependabot-contract.test.mjs). I cannot push to this lane's branch, so leaving the verified fix here for the owning lane to apply.

Fixed the failing Validate repository check: this PR's new .github/actions/open-automation-pr/action.yml SHA-pins peter-evans/create-pull-request, but the directory wasn't added to .github/dependabot.yml, so tests/dependabot-contract.test.mjs (and the pin-refresh mechanism itself) would never see it. Added /.github/actions/open-automation-pr to the github-actions entry's directories. Still hold-gated for human review.

Priority: P2, partial. The composite action is only the first half of #1622; the four workflow call-site substitutions are still required before the duplication finding is resolved.

Follow-up: this PR adds the shared composite action and Dependabot path, but it does not yet complete #1622. The four call sites remain in .github/workflows/architecture-submission.yml, refresh-community-people.yml, refresh-metrics.yml, and refresh-radar-reports.yml; each still invokes peter-evans/create-pull-request directly. Keep #1622 open until those calls are replaced with ./.github/actions/open-automation-pr using the existing values. The issue records that this lane cannot push workflow-file changes; the remaining work needs a maintainer or an agent with workflow permission. No merge requested.

Centralize the peter-evans/create-pull-request@v8.1.1 step used by four
automation workflows (architecture-submission, refresh-community-people,
refresh-metrics, refresh-radar-reports) into a single composite action
that fixes delete-branch, labels and signoff, matching the pattern already
used by .github/actions/setup-node-deps.

Each workflow still needs updating to call ./.github/actions/open-automation-pr
instead of peter-evans/create-pull-request directly; that edit touches
.github/workflows/** and is out of reach for this lane's contributor-tier
token, so it is left for a human or an ISSUES_PRS_MERGE agent per issue #1622.

Dependabot's github-actions ecosystem entry only discovers SHA-pinned
actions under the repository root (.github/workflows) and explicitly
listed composite action directories. The new
.github/actions/open-automation-pr/action.yml composite action pins
peter-evans/create-pull-request by SHA but was not added to that list,
so its pin would never be refreshed. Add the directory entry so
tests/dependabot-contract.test.mjs passes.

Replace the four direct peter-evans/create-pull-request steps in
architecture-submission.yml, refresh-community-people.yml,
refresh-metrics.yml and refresh-radar-reports.yml with
./.github/actions/open-automation-pr, keeping each workflow's branch,
commit message, title and body unchanged. The fixed delete-branch,
labels and signoff values now live in one place.

Two test guards found their workflows by the direct `uses:` and would
have gone blind on the swap: the generate/format/validate/test ordering
contract (helpers-workflow-ordering.mjs) and the pull-request-branch
race contract (ci-concurrency.test.mjs). Both now resolve a step
through local composite actions with walkSteps(), so a workflow is
detected whether it calls the action directly or via the wrapper, and
the branch is still read from the step the workflow wrote. The fixture
tests cover the wrapped, non-wrapping and unknown-action cases.

🔒 Hold-gate integrity: branch changed while hold-gated — fresh review required

This PR's branch moved while it sat hold-gated: the head recorded when the hold was applied was 45028cf28151, but the branch now sits at 78ff7d727810. The diff a reviewer saw under the hold is no longer the diff that would merge, so auto-merge is blocked and the hold label has been re-applied.

Commits not present in the hold-time snapshot (4):

  • c1add286a93e by hivecommons-hive[bot] — refactor: add shared open-automation-pr composite action
  • c3eb0f4d4e0a by hivecommons-hive[bot] — fix: reformat open-automation-pr action.yml per prettier
  • a9365e86d4f1 by hivecommons-hive[bot] — fix: cover open-automation-pr composite action in dependabot config
  • 78ff7d727810 by mrbobbytables — ci: open automation PRs through the shared composite action

Authors not in the hold-time author set: mrbobbytables

A human should review the FULL diff at the current head — a rebase or force-push renames every commit, so everything above needs eyes even if it looks familiar. Removing the hold label after that review is the fresh approval: the guard has re-pinned its snapshot to the current head, so a clean lift re-opens the merge lanes.

Read the full diff against the tree at merge-base and ran the affected test suites locally — this looks correct to me.

What I verified:

  • Action extraction is faithful. .github/actions/open-automation-pr/action.yml pins peter-evans/create-pull-request@5f6978f… (v8.1.1), the exact SHA every workflow used inline before, and moves only the fixed policy fields (delete-branch: true, labels: automated, signoff: true). All four call sites keep their own branch, commit-message, title, body; nothing was dropped or reworded in the swap.
  • The test guards stay live through the wrapper. pullRequestBranches (tests/ci-concurrency.test.mjs:166) and commitsGeneratedOutput (tests/helpers-workflow-ordering.mjs:121) now resolve steps through opensPullRequest, which descends via walkSteps. Their production callers (ci-concurrency.test.mjs:237,412; automation-workflow-ordering.test.mjs:201) pass no options, and walkSteps defaults to loadLocalActions() (tests/helpers-workflows.mjs:91-104), so the real repository wrapper is followed. The branch is still read from the workflow's own step (step?.with?.branch on the wrapper call), not the forwarded ${{ inputs.branch }} — the fixture at ci-concurrency.test.mjs:857-897 pins exactly this.
  • Dependabot coverage for the new action directory is added (.github/dependabot.yml:31), matching the setup-node-deps precedent.
  • Tests: node --test on ci-concurrency, workflow-ordering-helpers, automation-workflow-ordering and composite-action-supply-chain — 51/51 pass at head 78ff7d7.

One informational note, not a defect: LAUNCH.md:119-120 still narrates the create-pull-request steps and historical issue #568 in past tense; it remains accurate since the wrapper forwards the same action, so no change needed.

Body and diff agree (the claimed call-site swap and guard fixes are all present). Approval itself is a maintainer's signature — @mrbobbytables, this is ready for that decision once the queued CI completes.
