What

Make a Go version bump fail in one obvious place instead of several obscure ones.

Why

From artifact-conduit#483: a Renovate Go bump updates go.mod and flake.nix and leaves
the Dockerfile behind, then CI dies in a workflow that never mentions the wrong file. Two
causes live here:

  • The dev shell resolves goVersion from go-overlay, which flake.lock pins. A Go patch
    released after that lock fails as attribute '1.27.1' missing — at shell-evaluation time,
    so every job dies before running anything, with a message pointing at the overlay's
    internals rather than the fix.
  • Nothing asserts the pins agree, and a minor-level golang: tag never joins Renovate's
    golang version sync group, so the builder image silently stays behind.

Testing

  • scripts/test-check-go-version.sh — 8 cases (agreement, each pin lagging, minor-level tag,
    library without a Dockerfile, two tags in one Dockerfile, nothing to check).
  • Run against the real repos as they stand: ARC, Solar and apiserver-kit all pass.
  • New test-setup-nix job builds the dev shell and asserts the goVersion guard produces
    the readable message.
  • or/throw precedence and the lib.versions.majorMinor / hasPrefix /
    concatStringsSep calls verified against a real nixpkgs lib.

Notes for reviewers

Not just the two fixes. test-actions.yml previously triggered only on **/*.sh, so a
pin bump inside setup-nix/action.yml changed what every consuming repo runs without a
single job executing here. Triggers now cover what this repo ships — the composite actions,
common.mk, scripts/, the flake — and test-setup-nix exercises the action itself.

check-go-version uses the cached-download pattern (ENVTEST_SIDELOAD), not
repo-settings' pipe-to-bash: it is meant for the lint path and must not hit the network on
every run.

Not breaking: the target is new and opt-in, and the flake change only replaces one failure
message with another. Consumers adopt it with a DEV_KIT_VERSION bump once this is released.

Release version: feat:, so this wants a minor (v2.3.0). release-drafter defaults to
patch and its autolabeler does not match improvement/… branches, so correct it at publish.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Go-version consistency validation across go.mod, flake.nix, and Dockerfile. It integrates the checker with Make, improves missing-version errors in the Nix flake, documents the behavior, and adds CI coverage.

Changes

Go version consistency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Go pin validation and coverage
scripts/check-go-version.sh, scripts/test-check-go-version.sh
The checker validates optional Go-version pins, rejects invalid or conflicting values, and reports agreement or missing pins. Integration tests cover these cases.
Make target and usage documentation
common.mk, README.md
Make downloads and runs a versioned checker with overridable paths. The README documents the target, supported pin locations, Docker tag format, and locked overlay behavior.
Nix error handling and CI validation
flake.nix, .github/workflows/test-actions.yml
The flake reports unavailable Go versions with available same-minor versions and update guidance. CI tests the checker, Nix setup, shell evaluation, and error output.

The new validation can report success while overlooking conflicting or invalid Go pins. These parsing gaps should be fixed before relying on the check.

## What
Make the governance workflows reusable, so consumer repos call them from
a small stub instead of carrying copies that drift.
Closes #38. `scorecard` stays a standalone workflow per repo (decided in
#37).

## Why
Each consumer carries its own copy of `update-action-pins`,
`conventional-commits`, `osv-scanner` and the issue automations. The
copies have drifted — `update-action-pins` alone exists in three
variants, and dev-kit's own misses `- uses:` spacing and is gated by a
`paths` filter, which leaves a required check pending forever on PRs
outside those paths.

## Testing
- New `scripts/test-update-action-pins.sh` runs the real check extracted
from the workflow (via `yq`) against 12 cases: quoted refs, sequence
spacing, composite actions, reusable workflows, short SHAs. All pass;
the old matcher fails 2 of them. Wired into `test-actions.yml`.
- `actionlint` clean on all workflows and on the five README stubs (with
a dummy SHA).
- `renovate-dev-kit-lock`: the relock step ran on a Solar checkout with
the flake input bumped to v2.2.0 (`nix flake lock` relocks only
`dev-kit`; a second run commits nothing, so no loop), and the
`createCommitOnBranch` payload round-trips `flake.lock`. **Not run end
to end**: it needs the org's dev-kit GitHub App (Monday).
- Not yet called from another repo — the Solar pilot
(opendefensecloud/solution-arsenal#825) is the first real run.

## Notes for reviewers
- **One stub per workflow**, not grouped by trigger: a workflow has a
single `on:` block and `osv-scanner` runs on PR, push and a schedule, so
shared stubs would need `if:` guards and a union of permissions. A
single `org-checks.yml` was wanted to get one Renovate PR per dev-kit
release instead of one per stub; opendefensecloud/renovate-config#20's
`dev-kit` group now delivers that whatever the stub count.
- dev-kit runs the workflows on its own events from the same files
(`workflow_call` next to the regular triggers). `osv-scanner.yml` is
reusable only; dev-kit didn't scan itself before either.
- Pins bumped to what consumers already use (semantic-PR v6, checkout
v7, add-to-project v2), so switching to the stub doesn't downgrade them.
- **Breaking:** `make repo-settings` no longer installs
`update-action-pins.yml` — it would recreate the copy the stub replaces.
Upgrade path: the stubs in the README's "Governance workflows" section.
- **Check names change** to `<stub job> / <called job>`, e.g.
`update-action-pins / Check action pins`, `osv-scanner / scan-pr /
osv-scan`. Consumers must update `REPO_STATUS_CHECKS` and rerun `make
repo-settings` in the same change.
- Overlaps with #33 in `test-actions.yml` and `common.mk`; whichever
merges second may need a small rebase.

- **New: `renovate-dev-kit-lock.yml`.** Renovate's grouped dev-kit PR
(opendefensecloud/renovate-config#17/#18) bumps the flake input tag but
can't update `flake.lock`, so `nix develop` rewrites it in CI and
`diff-check` fails. This workflow commits `nix flake lock` to
`renovate/dev-kit` via a GitHub App token and `createCommitOnBranch`:
signed by GitHub (`required_signatures`), and it starts CI, which a
`GITHUB_TOKEN` push wouldn't. Needs, before merge:
- an org GitHub App (Contents: write, Pull requests: read) — done:
`dev-kit-bot`, installed on dev-kit and solution-arsenal for now;
extended to the other consumers once it proves itself in the pilot
- org secrets `DEV_KIT_BOT_APP_CLIENT_ID` and
`DEV_KIT_BOT_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` — done, shared with the same two repos
- the app's bot email in renovate-config's `gitIgnoredAuthors` — in
renovate-config#20

## Merge order
This PR is one step in a sequence; the relock workflow and
renovate-config#20's manual `flake.lock` note only look contradictory
without it:
1. **opendefensecloud/renovate-config#20** — dev-kit group, weekly lock
refresh; the dev-kit PR asks a human for the `flake.lock` commit
(interim).
2. ~~#34~~ (merged; this PR is rebased onto it and formatted with its
treefmt setup), then **this PR** and **#39** → release **v3.0.0**. The
relock workflow ships here, but no consumer calls it yet.
3. **Org GitHub App** (done: `dev-kit-bot`; its bot is in
`gitIgnoredAuthors` via renovate-config#20).
**opendefensecloud/renovate-config#19** then drops the manual steps.
4. **Rollout** (pilot opendefensecloud/solution-arsenal#825): a consumer
adds the relock stub only after renovate-config#20 is merged; before
that, the bot commit would make Renovate stop rebasing the branch.

## Not covered here
- dev-kit's own pins: no `renovate.json` yet, and dev-kit doesn't call
`renovate-auto-approve` itself — that's #40.
- dev-kit doesn't scan itself: `osv-scanner.yml` is reusable-only, and
dev-kit had no scan before either. No issue yet.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Automation**
* Governance, commit-check, issue-labeling, project-assignment, and
security-scanning workflows can be reused across repositories.
* Security scans run on pushes, pull requests, and scheduled events;
merge-queue events are no longer included.
* Action pin checks cover additional workflow and action reference
formats, with automated tests for supported cases.
* Renovate pull requests can automatically update the development kit
lockfile when needed.
* **Documentation**
* Added guidance on reusable workflows, permissions, triggers,
requirements, and required status checks.
  * Updated the documented status check for action pin validation.
* **Configuration**
  * Repository setup no longer installs the action pin update workflow.
<!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
The dev shell resolves goVersion from the locked go-overlay, so a freshly
released Go patch failed with `attribute '1.27.1' missing` at shell-evaluation
time, taking down every workflow before any job ran. It now names the available
versions and the fix.

check-go-version asserts go.mod, flake.nix and the Dockerfile agree, and
requires a patch-level golang tag so Renovate can group it with the other pins.

test-actions.yml now triggers on what this repo ships — the composite actions,
common.mk, the scripts and the flake — not only on *.sh, and exercises
setup-nix so a pin bump cannot reach consumers untested.
A file that is absent is skipped on purpose; one that exists but whose pin
cannot be read was skipped too, which hid the drift the check exists to find.

Dockerfile instructions are case-insensitive and may be indented, so `from
golang:...` and an indented FROM were never seen.
An official tag may carry an OS suffix, so golang:1.25.7-alpine3.22 was
rejected as "not patch-level" and, had it passed, would never have compared
equal to go.mod. Parse the version out of the tag and compare on that; a
non-version tag now says so instead of blaming precision.
A repository can pin Go in a second Dockerfile — ARC already has
examples/ocm/Dockerfile — and a check that reads one path would miss it and
would need a list somebody has to remember to update. Discover them instead.

treefmt landed on main while this branch sat unmerged, so its files had never
been through shfmt or mdformat. `make fmt` rewrote them in CI and diff-check
then failed. Whitespace and table alignment only.
