What:

Add a new required-test-attestations rule data key and three policy rules to the test_attestation package:

  • required_test_attestations_found (deny) — blocks when a currently-required test attestation is missing
  • future_required_test_attestations_found (warn) — warns when a test that will be required in the future is not yet present
  • required_test_attestations_list_provided (deny) — catches misconfigured data; silent when the key is absent (opt-in)

Also includes JSON schema validation, RFC3339 date validation, and 13 new tests.

Why:

When tests move from the build pipeline to their own pipeline, they produce standalone test-result attestations via OCI referrers instead of appearing in the build pipeline's SLSA provenance. Today, required-tasks in tasks.rego enforces that specific tasks ran in the build pipeline, but there is no equivalent mechanism for standalone test attestations. This adds the missing enforcement using the same time-windowed data pattern.

AI Description

• Add time-windowed "required-test-attestations" rule data to declare required test-result
 attestations.
• Enforce missing required attestations (deny) and flag future requirements early (warn).
• Validate rule data via JSON schema + RFC3339 checks, with new tests and docs updates.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Single rule with time-based severity
  • ➕ Reduces duplication between deny/warn rules by centralizing missing-test computation
  • ➕ Avoids having to keep “current vs latest” logic consistent across two rules
  • ➖ Harder to express “deny vs warn” cleanly using existing rule metadata/collections conventions
  • ➖ Would likely complicate messaging (different templates) and docs generation
2. Normalize rule data into a map keyed by effective_on
  • ➕ Simplifies lookups/deduping and can make validation errors more precise
  • ➕ Avoids reliance on array uniqueItems semantics for object equality
  • ➖ More complex rule-data authoring format for users
  • ➖ Would require additional parsing/normalization logic in policy

Recommendation: The PR’s approach (separate deny + warn rules, driven by time-windowed rule data and using the existing lib.time helpers) is a good fit for policy semantics and documentation. The split rules keep severity and messaging straightforward, while the added schema + RFC3339 validation prevents silent misconfiguration.

Action required

1. Unguarded rule data type 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
The new required-test-attestations logic iterates and time-windows
rule_data.get("required-test-attestations") assuming it is an array; if the key is misconfigured
to a scalar/object, these expressions can raise Rego type/evaluation errors. This can prevent
test_attestation.rule_data_provided from emitting a clear format error for malformed configuration
of the new key.

Evidence
The new rules consume the raw rule-data value in array-specific operations (iteration and
time-window helpers). Since rule_data.get returns the configured value as-is, a malformed
non-array value can reach ectime.newest/most_current and arrays.sort_by, which use count() and
object.get() assuming arrays/objects—leading to type errors instead of the intended rule-data
diagnostic.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`required-test-attestations` is schema-validated, but downstream logic still consumes the raw `rule_data.get("required-test-attestations")` value as an array (iteration + `ectime.newest/most_current` + `count`). If a user misconfigures the key as a non-array (e.g., `{}` / `"oops"` / `42`), policy evaluation may hit type errors instead of returning a `test_attestation.rule_data_provided` failure result.

## Issue Context
- `rule_data.get` returns the configured value as-is when present; it does not coerce types.
- `ectime.newest/most_current` (and `arrays.sort_by`) assume array-of-objects inputs.
- The goal is: malformed config should produce a clean `rule_data_provided` diagnostic, not a runtime evaluation failure.

## Fix Focus Areas
- policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego[455-486]
- policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego[381-386]
- policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation_test.rego[912-1350]

### Suggested approach
1. Introduce a raw variable and a normalized/safe variable:
  - `raw := rule_data.get("required-test-attestations")`
  - `_required_test_attestations_data := raw if { is_array(raw) } else := []`
2. Update all downstream consumers (`count(...)`, `ectime.newest/most_current`, and RFC3339 iteration) to use the normalized value or to guard with `is_array(raw)`/`is_object(entry)`.
3. Keep schema validation operating on the raw value so the error message is still generated.
4. Add a regression test where `data.rule_data["required-test-attestations"]` is a scalar (e.g., `"invalid"` or `{}`) and assert:
  - you get a `test_attestation.rule_data_provided` result mentioning `required-test-attestations`
  - evaluation does not error.

Move the warn_results evaluation above the deny_results iteration.

Because some r in deny_results opens iteration before Line 1098, the full test_attestation.warn evaluation (with all mocks) is re-run for every candidate binding. This is what Regal flags as "Non-loop expression in loop".

High

  • [missing-effective-on] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:148 — All three new rules (future_required_test_attestations_found, required_test_attestations_found, required_test_attestations_list_provided) lack an effective_on date in their METADATA custom: annotations. Per AGENTS.md: "New deny/warn rules MUST include an effective_on date in their METADATA annotation (under custom:) to provide a migration window before enforcement begins." While the rules are data-gated (they only fire when required-test-attestations rule data is provided), the documented requirement is explicit and multiple other packages (sbom_cyclonedx, rpm_repos, prefetch_dependencies) consistently include it.
    Remediation: Add effective_on: <future RFC 3339 date> to the custom: block of each new rule's METADATA annotations.

Low

  • [naming-convention] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:492 — The new rule data key required-test-attestations uses hyphens while most other rule_data.get() keys in this file use underscores. However, hyphenated keys with rule_data.get() have precedent (pipeline-required-tasks in policy/lib/tekton/pipeline.rego), and the name is consistent with the related required-tasks pattern.

  • [test-adequacy] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation_test.rego:1283test_required_tests_all_future does not assert the absence of required_test_attestations_list_provided in deny results. Adding not _has_code(results, "test_attestation.required_test_attestations_list_provided") would strengthen the test against regressions where _resolved_required_tests might be changed to only check most_current.

  • [naming-convention] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:36 — The import alias ectime for data.lib.time is used in only 2 other files, while time_lib is more common (6 files). The choice is contextually defensible since the new code uses the same ectime.newest/ectime.most_current functions as the tekton files.

Findings

Low

  • [logic-error] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego — The warn rule future_required_test_attestations_found uses a single _latest_effective_on (the effective_on from ectime.newest) for all warning messages. With 3+ time-windowed entries where intermediate future entries introduce new tests, the reported date for a test introduced in an intermediate entry will be the date of the newest entry rather than the entry that first requires that test. With the typical two-entry setup (one current, one future), the behavior is correct. The issue only manifests in a multi-step rollout scenario with 3+ entries where different future dates each introduce distinct tests.
    Remediation: Compute the effective date on a per-test basis by finding the earliest entry in _required_test_attestations_data that includes each test name, similar to how tekton.task_effective_on works.

  • [technical-documentation-accuracy] design/time-gated-rule-data.md:6 — The document states that most_current "is undefined when all entries are in the future or have unparseable dates." The unparseable-dates claim is incorrect: in the most_current comprehension filter, when time.parse_rfc3339_ns fails on an unparseable date it returns undefined, then undefined > effective_current_time_ns is undefined, and not undefined evaluates to true — so entries with unparseable dates pass the filter and are included, not excluded. In practice, a separate RFC3339 validation rule catches unparseable dates before runtime, so this inaccuracy has no practical impact on policy evaluation.
    Remediation: Remove or correct the "or have unparseable dates" clause in the sentence.

  • [unresolved-merge-conflicts] antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/packages/release_test_attestation.adoc — The file at PR head contains 9 sets of unresolved git merge conflict markers (<<<<<<< HEAD, =======, >>>>>>>). All existing rule Source links have conflicting line numbers between the two sides. One conflict block contains entire new rule documentation sections (required_test_attestations_list_provided and required_test_attestations_found) that exist only on one side and would be lost if the wrong side is chosen. These markers will break the Antora documentation build and render as visible garbage.
    Remediation: Resolve all merge conflicts by selecting the correct line numbers for Source links and ensuring new rule documentation sections are preserved.

  • [unresolved-merge-conflicts] antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/release_policy.adoc — Contains 1 set of unresolved merge conflict markers in the rule index. The HEAD side has only the rule_data_provided reference, while the other side adds references for the two newly added rules (required_test_attestations_list_provided and required_test_attestations_found). Choosing HEAD would exclude the new rules from the documentation index.
    Remediation: Resolve the merge conflict to include all rule references alongside the existing rule_data_provided entry.

Medium

  • [naming-convention] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego — Rule data key uses hyphens ("required-test-attestations") while the 6 other rule data keys in this file use underscores (e.g., "failed_test_attestation_results"). The hyphenated form follows the convention in tasks.rego ("required-tasks", "pipeline-required-tasks"), which this feature is modeled after. Consider whether intra-file consistency or cross-package consistency with the time-gated pattern should take precedence.

Low

  • [test-adequacy] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation_test.rego:1175 — No test covers the "test phased out in a future entry" scenario (e.g., current entry requires ["A", "B"], future entry requires only ["B"]). The deny rule intentionally suppresses enforcement for phased-out tests — matching the tasks.rego pattern with its explicit comment "Don't report an error if a task is required now, but not in the future" — but adding a test would document this behavior and prevent accidental regressions.

  • [fail-open] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.regoectime.newest sorts effective_on timestamps as strings, which only produces correct chronological ordering when all timestamps use the same timezone offset (e.g., all UTC Z). This is a pre-existing issue in the ectime library (documented: "Assumes same date format and time-zone"). The new RFC3339 validation catches malformed dates but does not enforce UTC-only.

  • [edge-case] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:376 — The warn rule reports _latest_effective_on as the date when a test "will be required." With multiple future entries, this is the newest entry's date, not necessarily the earliest date the test first appears.

  • [edge-case] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:413_present_test_names derives from _test_attestations, which excludes attestations without timestamps. A test attestation without a timestamp would not satisfy a required-test check. This is consistent with existing behavior (fail-closed) but is an undocumented interaction with the new required-test-attestations feature.

  • [Technical documentation accuracy] design/time-gated-rule-data.md:7 — The design document states that most_current "is undefined when all entries are in the future or have unparseable dates." The claim about unparseable dates is incorrect: in Rego, time.parse_rfc3339_ns(bad_date) is undefined, so the filter not time.parse_rfc3339_ns(i.effective_on) > effective_current_time_ns evaluates to not undefined, which is true. Entries with unparseable effective_on values pass the filter and are included in the current set — they are NOT excluded. See also: [fail-open analysis] finding on the related runtime behavior.
    Remediation: Correct the sentence to note that entries with unparseable dates are treated as not-in-the-future and included in the candidate set.

  • [fail-open analysis] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:474 — Entries with unparseable effective_on dates are silently treated as current by ectime.most_current(). The _rule_data_errors validation at line 454 correctly reports bad dates as failures, but reporting and enforcement are decoupled — a malformed future date causes the entry to be treated as already effective. This is pre-existing behavior consistent with tasks.rego and the ectime library, not a regression from this PR. See also: [Technical documentation accuracy] finding on the design doc.

  • [scope-creep] design/time-gated-rule-data.md — The PR introduces a new top-level design/ directory that does not exist on the base branch. The document itself is useful (it explains the time-gated rule data pattern), but introducing a new directory convention is an architectural decision beyond the direct scope of the feature ticket.
    Remediation: Consider establishing the design/ directory convention in AGENTS.md or a separate PR.

  • [idiom consistency] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:494_latest_effective_on uses else := "" as its fallback, while the design doc added in this same PR recommends default over else. The sibling helpers _current_required_tests and _latest_required_tests correctly use default ... := [].
    Remediation: Change to default _latest_effective_on := "" followed by a body-only rule to match the documented convention.

  • [missing example data] example/data/rule_data.yml — The new required-test-attestations rule data key is not represented in the example data file. Note: the analogous required-tasks key is also absent from this file, so this is a pre-existing pattern gap.
    Remediation: Add a commented example entry for required-test-attestations.

Findings

Low

  • [logic-error] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:328 — The required_test_attestations_found deny rule's missing_test in _latest_required_tests guard means a test currently required but removed from the newest/future entry will not produce a deny. The test test_required_test_attestation_deprecated confirms this is intentional (deprecation mechanism), but the semantic differs from required-tasks in tasks.rego — consider documenting this behavior explicitly.

  • [test-inadequate] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation_test.rego:1449 — The mock _mock_blob_sast_passed is defined but never referenced by any test. Remove the unused mock or add a test that exercises it.

  • [edge-case] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:384 — The _resolved_required_tests helper would evaluate true for tests: [] since empty arrays are truthy in Rego. The JSON schema's minItems: 1 constraint already catches this, so runtime behavior is correct, but the rule description's claim of catching "empty test lists" is slightly misleading.

  • [naming-convention] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:474 — The new key required-test-attestations uses hyphens while existing keys in this file use underscores. This follows the cross-package convention for time-windowed required-* keys (matching required-tasks in tasks.rego), but diverges from the intra-file convention.

  • [pattern-inconsistency] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:449 — The new _rule_data_errors clause hardcodes the key name in sprintf. The existing clause in this file parameterizes it via a loop variable, though tasks.rego also hardcodes single-key validations similarly.

  • [code-organization] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation_test.rego:911 — New mock functions (_mock_blob_sast_passed, _mock_blob_clair_failed, _mock_blob_two_tests) are defined inline within the EC-1951 test section rather than grouped with other mocks at the top of the file.

Findings

Medium

  • [fail-open] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:322 — The required_test_attestations_found deny rule includes a deprecation guard (missing_test in _latest_required_tests) that requires a missing test to also be present in the newest rule data entry. This means adding a future-dated entry that drops a test silently suppresses enforcement of that currently-required test before the future date arrives. While this mirrors the identical guard in tasks.rego (line 169) and is tested explicitly (test_required_test_attestation_deprecated), it has fail-open implications for the redhat_security collection: someone adding a future entry that omits a test immediately disables enforcement of that test.
    Remediation: Consider whether the deprecation guard should require an explicit deprecation marker (e.g., an exclude field) rather than inferring deprecation from absence in the newest entry. Alternatively, document that operators must understand adding a future entry that removes a test name immediately suppresses enforcement.

Low

  • [edge-case] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:347 — The future_required_test_attestations_found warn rule always displays _latest_effective_on in the warning message. With multiple future entries having different effective_on dates, a test newly required by an intermediate entry shows the date of the latest entry, not when that test actually becomes required. This is a cosmetic issue in the warning message — enforcement is unaffected.

  • [edge-case] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:329 — Entries with invalid RFC3339 effective_on values are treated as current entries by ectime.most_current because time.parse_rfc3339_ns returns undefined for unparseable strings. This is mitigated by the explicit RFC3339 date validation at lines 455–467, which produces a failure-severity error for invalid dates.

  • [naming-convention] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:326 — The new rule data key required-test-attestations uses hyphens, while other keys in this package use underscores (supported_test_attestation_results, etc.). However, this follows the tasks.rego precedent (required-tasks, pipeline-required-tasks) which is the direct analog for the time-windowed pattern.

  • [pattern-inconsistency] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:388 — The existing rule_data_provided rule declares collections redhat and policy_data but not redhat_security. The new rules that consume the validated data (required_test_attestations_found, required_test_attestations_list_provided) declare redhat_security. Schema validation errors for the new key would not fire in redhat_security-only evaluations. The tasks.rego analog includes redhat_security in its data_provided rule.

  • [input-validation] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:418 — The JSON schema defines effective_on as {"type": "string"} without minLength constraints. This matches the tasks.rego schema pattern exactly, and empty strings would be caught by the separate RFC3339 validation.

  • [test-inadequate] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation_test.rego — No test covers the scenario with multiple future entries having different effective_on dates to verify which date appears in the warning message.

  • [fail-open] policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:361 — The required_test_attestations_list_provided rule is silent when the required-test-attestations key is absent entirely (documented opt-in design, matching existing rule data patterns).

1078-1113: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move warn_results evaluation before the some r in deny_results loop.

Regal flags "non-loop expression in loop" here: warn_results := test_attestation.warn with ... is placed after the loop-starting some r in deny_results statement, so it gets needlessly bound inside that iteration instead of being computed once upfront.

I don't think I follow this design choice.

My rough idea was that we would look for tests in the build pipeline and in the new special oci referrers based in-toto attestations, and as long as we find them somewhere, we consider the test was run.

IIUC, this list would force the test to be in at in-toto attestation, and ignore it in the build pipeline, which seems like it would make the transition much more painful.

This would be the list that says which tests should be in the build-pipeline. If they are in the build-pipeline, this would duplicate entries in the required-tasks list, but when the tests are moved to the integration service my thought was we'll need a required test list similar to the required tasks list.

When tests move from the build pipeline to their own pipeline, they
produce standalone test-result attestations. This adds a new
required-test-attestations rule data key with time-windowed entries
and three policy rules to enforce that specific tests ran:

- required_test_attestations_found (deny): blocks when a currently
  required test attestation is missing
- future_required_test_attestations_found (warn): warns when a test
  that will be required in the future is not yet present
- required_test_attestations_list_provided (deny): catches
  misconfigured data; silent when the key is absent (opt-in)

Includes JSON schema and RFC3339 date validation for the new rule
data key, and full test coverage (13 new tests).

Add an activation-time boundary test.

Test an entry with effective_on equal to _current_time. The current tests only use dates before or after the evaluation time. A strict comparison regression would not be detected at the required test activation time. Assert a current denial and no future-requirement warning.
