Summary

  • Fixes a false positive codeowners-org-leads-not-first compliance finding in scripts/compliance-audit.sh
  • The gh_api() retry wrapper was forwarding gh api stdout unconditionally — including the error JSON body emitted on a 404 response
  • Callers like check_codeowners() received concatenated 404 JSON blobs instead of an empty string, making found=true for a missing file and treating the error JSON as CODEOWNERS content
  • Fix: capture output into a variable and only echo it when exit code is 0

The CODEOWNERS file at .github/CODEOWNERS was already correct (* @petry-projects/org-leads); no CODEOWNERS change is needed.

Test plan

  • Re-run the compliance audit against this repo after merge — the codeowners-org-leads-not-first finding should be absent
  • Verify all other gh_api call sites are unaffected (callers that use || echo "" or redirect stdout to /dev/null still work correctly)

Closes #208

Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Made the compliance audit script more reliable: command output is now consistently captured and returned, with retries preserved on failure to improve audit result consistency.
  • Chores
    • Added new ignore patterns to the repository configuration.

…se positives

When gh api returns a 404, it outputs the error JSON to stdout (not
stderr). The previous gh_api() forwarded all stdout unconditionally,
causing callers like check_codeowners() to receive concatenated 404 JSON
blobs instead of empty strings. This made found=true for a missing file
and treated the error JSON as CODEOWNERS content, triggering a false
codeowners-org-leads-not-first finding.

Fix: capture output into a variable and only echo it when the exit code
is 0, so failed API calls produce no stdout.

Closes #208

Walkthrough

The PR captures gh api "$@" stdout in the compliance audit script's gh_api retry wrapper and echoes it on successful calls; it also adds duplicate .dev-lead/ entries to .gitignore.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the gh_api() retry wrapper in scripts/compliance-audit.sh to prevent gh api stdout (including error JSON bodies from failed requests like 404s) from being forwarded to callers, which previously caused false positives in checks like check_codeowners().

Changes:

  • Capture gh api output inside gh_api() and only emit it when the command succeeds (exit code 0).

Summary

Single-line CI workflow change pinning petry-projects/.github/.github/workflows/agent-shield-reusable.yml from the mutable @v1 tag to the exact commit SHA 0cb4bba11d7563bf197ad805f12fb8639e4879e4, with the # v1 human-readable comment retained and the with: required-files: AGENTS.md input preserved. Verified via gh api repos/petry-projects/.github/git/refs/tags/v1 that the pinned SHA matches the actual commit currently behind the v1 tag. Conforms to the org action-pinning policy and follows the same pattern as the recently merged #127 (auto-rebase-reusable.yml SHA pin).

Linked issue analysis

Closes #114 — a compliance-audit finding for unpinned-actions-agent-shield.yml flagging that agent-shield.yml had 1 action not pinned to SHA. The PR addresses exactly that line; no other unpinned references remain in this workflow.

Findings

No issues found.

  • SHA pin verified against upstream tag v1 (matches 0cb4bba11d7563bf197ad805f12fb8639e4879e4).
  • Repo-specific with: inputs preserved unchanged.
  • No secrets, permissions, or trigger surface modified.
  • Pre-existing missing trailing newline on the file is unchanged by this PR; out of scope.

CI status

All required checks green: AgentShield, Claude Code, CodeQL (Analyze actions), Dependency audit (ecosystem detect), SonarCloud / SonarCloud Code Analysis (Quality Gate passed, 0 new issues), CodeRabbit. Dependabot auto-merge and ecosystem-specific audit jobs correctly skipped (no matching ecosystems / not a Dependabot PR). CodeRabbit posted a rate-limit notice but its status check reports SUCCESS; gemini-code-assist skipped due to unsupported file type. Mergeable: yes; merge state BLOCKED only on the required human review.
