From 86a58d8f3e393babfa184f3892de708a2c39da91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amr AbuSair Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 13:02:53 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] chore(compliance): archive legacy license-cla-check.yml MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Moves license-cla-check.yml into workflows/old/, which disables it (GitHub only scans .github/workflows/*.yml directly, not subdirectories). Confirmed dead before archiving: - Only exists in vmware/.github (org-wide code search returned 1 file) — its pull_request_target/issue_comment/pull_request triggers only ever fired on PRs against this repo, never any other repo in the org. - Its cla-gate job (contributor-assistant/github-action, a separate CLA mechanism from the current policy_selector.py system, with its own document and signature store) is not referenced by any of the org's 4 Rulesets (active, evaluate, or disabled) — nothing requires it. - Its own signature store path (signatures/version1/vmware/.github/cla.json) has never existed in this repo's git history — nobody has ever successfully signed through it. - On a real recent PR (#59), cla-gate returned "failure" for an org member that the current system correctly bypassed — direct evidence it's stale, not just unused. - The bundled license-check job (REUSE linter) only ever ran against this same single repo with no evidence of active reliance, so it's retired alongside cla-gate rather than split out.
