Summary

Add opt-in, time-gated required test task enforcement using tasks discovered from the build PipelineRun and trusted ITS PipelineRuns associated with verified test-result statements. Ordinary required build tasks remain build-provenance-only.

Key changes

  • Preserve trusted statement/provenance associations during in-toto verification.
  • Discover and normalize task names across build and trusted ITS PipelineRuns.
  • Add current-task denial and future-task warning rules for required-test-tasks.
  • Validate the new rule data with the existing task schema and RFC3339 checks.
  • Cover trust boundaries, multiple ITS runs, source isolation, parameterized task names, one-of alternatives, and time-snapshot transitions.

Verification

  • make ci
  • 1,136/1,136 Rego tests passed
  • Acceptance tests passed
  • 166 files linted with no violations

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release policy discovers trusted ITS PipelineRun test tasks and enforces scheduled required-test-tasks requirements. Trust APIs return statement/provenance records. Tests cover provenance, discovery, validation, effective dates, alternatives, and disabled enforcement. Documentation and navigation describe the new rules.

Changes

Required test-task enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verified provenance records
policy/lib/intoto/trust.rego, policy/lib/intoto/trust_test.rego
Trust helpers return verified statement/provenance records and support predicate filtering. Tests cover trusted, filtered, and untrusted attestations.
PipelineRun task discovery
policy/release/lib/attestations.rego, policy/release/lib/attestations_test.rego
The policy classifies v0.2 and v1 PipelineRun attestations, extracts normalized task names, and combines build and trusted ITS sources.
Scheduled test-task evaluation
policy/release/tasks/tasks.rego, policy/release/tasks/tasks_test.rego
The tasks package validates schedules, selects current and future requirements, and emits denial or warning results for missing tasks. Tests cover dates, alternatives, parameters, malformed data, and omitted configuration.
Policy documentation and navigation
antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/packages/release_tasks.adoc, antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/release_policy.adoc, antora/docs/modules/ROOT/partials/release_policy_nav.adoc
Documentation and navigation list the new rules, configuration, effective dates, and source references.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d6bdd

Required-task enforcement can select the wrong schedule when RFC3339 timestamps use different offsets, potentially omitting tasks that should be enforced. Timestamp comparison should be corrected before merging.

Compare effective_on values by instant, not raw string.

Validation accepts RFC3339 values with offsets, but data.lib.time.newest sorts effective_on strings lexically. The required-task selectors call this helper, so mixed offsets can select an older task schedule and omit required tasks. Raw equality also allows equivalent instants to bypass duplicate detection.

Reject non-UTC values, or compare parsed nanoseconds in duplicate detection and schedule selection. Add tests for equivalent offsets and mixed-offset ordering.

Findings

Low

  • [Missing retirement guard / pattern asymmetry] policy/release/tasks/tasks.rego:231 — The deny rule for required_test_tasks_found omits the required_task in latest_required_test_tasks.tasks guard that the analogous required_tasks_found rule uses (line 205). In the build-task rule, this guard prevents denying a task that is currently required but scheduled for removal in a future entry. The test test_current_required_test_task_remains_denied_until_replacement_is_effective explicitly validates this stricter (fail-closed) behavior for test tasks, confirming it is intentional. Adding an inline comment explaining the deliberate divergence would help future readers.

  • [missing example data] example/data/required_tasks.yml:99 — The example data file demonstrates pipeline-required-tasks and required-tasks but does not include an example for the new required-test-tasks key. Users relying on these examples to configure their data sources will not discover the new key. Consider adding a required-test-tasks section with sample entries following the same effective_on/tasks format.

[low] Missing retirement guard / pattern asymmetry

The deny rule for required_test_tasks_found omits the required_task in latest_required_test_tasks.tasks guard that the analogous required_tasks_found rule uses. The test test_current_required_test_task_remains_denied_until_replacement_is_effective explicitly validates this stricter (fail-closed) behavior, confirming it is intentional. An inline comment explaining the deliberate divergence would help future readers.

Suggested fix: Add an inline comment on the deny rule explaining that the retirement guard is intentionally omitted for test tasks, e.g. # Unlike required_tasks_found, test tasks remain denied until the newer entry becomes current.
