  • A raw Terragrunt log posted as a comment is unreadable: every line is wrapped in coloured log metadata and run --all interleaves the units, so reviewers skip the plan they are asked to approve.
  • Repositories rendering that log into a readable report each carry their own copy of the renderer, and the copies have already drifted apart on how failures are reported. One versioned implementation keeps them in agreement.

Walkthrough

Adds a GitHub Action that runs a Terragrunt command with JSON logging, streams command output, and creates a Markdown report. The action publishes the report path and exit code and can append the report to the GitHub step summary.

Changes

Terragrunt report action

Layer / File(s) Summary
Action contract and setup
.github/release-please-*, actions/terragrunt-report/action.yml, actions/terragrunt-report/lib/core.mjs, actions/terragrunt-report/lib/index.mjs, actions/terragrunt-report/README.md, tests/node/terragrunt-report/core.test.mjs
Defines the action inputs and outputs, input validation, and workflow-command helpers. Adds package release configuration and documents action usage and inputs. Tests cover input handling, annotations, outputs, and step-summary writing.
Terragrunt log parsing and report rendering
actions/terragrunt-report/lib/report.mjs, actions/terragrunt-report/README.md, tests/node/terragrunt-report/fixtures.mjs, tests/node/terragrunt-report/report.test.mjs
Parses JSON records, attributes records to units, selects verdicts, and renders Markdown with failure details and output limits. Fixtures and tests cover report content, malformed records, failures, and size limits.
Command execution and report outputs
actions/terragrunt-report/lib/index.mjs, actions/terragrunt-report/lib/main.mjs, actions/terragrunt-report/README.md, tests/node/terragrunt-report/index.test.mjs
Runs the command in a detached Bash process group, forwards cancellation signals, and handles command and rendering status. Writes the report, optionally appends the step summary, and publishes action outputs. Tests cover streaming, exit status, and cancellation.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 148ba

The action is largely sound. Unusual directory names could break how a report renders, and a render failure could leave an old report file in place. The documented workflow avoids the second problem by gating on the report-path output. Both are small fixes that can be handled as follow-ups.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 148ba

The new report can omit plan details from both the report file and job summary while directing reviewers to the summary, and its displayed result can diverge from the command’s exit status. The step does preserve a failing exit status, but how consuming workflows use that status is not established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: Plan details removed by the report budget are also absent from the job summary, although the report directs reviewers there for the complete details. The untruncated run log remains available, but the promised readable fallback does not.
  • Medium · security · inferred: A nonzero command exit can still produce a report without a failure banner when its parsed records contain no error; a zero-exit command with no parseable records can publish an empty report. The separate exit-code output and failing step are countercontrols, but the report is not itself an authoritative execution verdict.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Command authority extends to the invoking runner’s available environment and credentials; the resulting report can be consumed by a comment-posting step with pull-request write permission. Actual production permissions and attacker access are not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If a workflow treats the published Markdown as the plan record, large plan output can leave details unreadable in both that report and the job summary; the untruncated run log is a remaining source. No production approval consumer or attacker-controlled caller is demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Nonblank command validation and fixed JSON logging settings govern input shape and parsing, not who may supply the command. The separate exit-code output and failing step provide a control against treating a nonzero execution as successful when consumers enforce that status.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Cancellation is forwarded to nested processes, and tested failure records produce a failed report while preserving nonzero status. Those paths do not establish that every command failure is represented as a failure in the Markdown.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Produce an unabridged job summary independently of the comment-sized report, or direct reviewers to the untruncated log rather than claiming the summary contains omitted details.
  • proposed — Make command failure and missing plan records explicit in the report contract, and require publishing or approval workflows to consider exit-code as well as report-path.

A rabbit watched the JSON flow,
While Terragrunt logs began to glow.
It tucked each unit in a row,
Kept giant diffs from overflow,
Then hopped away with reports in tow.

- Line 152: In the render-failure catch block in run, remove any existing file
at reportPath before returning an empty reportPath, so a report from an earlier
run cannot remain at that location.

Review comments at @actions/terragrunt-report/lib/report.mjs:
- Line 286: Escape the unit name before interpolating it into the HTML summary
in the report-building flow, replacing ampersands, less-than signs, and
greater-than signs with their HTML entities. Use the escaped value in the
summary while leaving the displayed verdict unchanged.
