Companion to JiwaniZakir/eda-schema-leaderboard#12.

The main finding

validate-submission's schema job ran uv run eda-validate with no argument,
from working-directory: .site. eda-validate takes no path and its checks
operate on the leaderboard repo's own files, so it validated the leaderboard
and never opened the submission
. Any submission at all would have passed it.

It had also never been exercised - this repo has had zero pull requests, so the
guard was untested as well as vacuous.

Now:

uv run eda-validate --submissions "$GITHUB_WORKSPACE/submissions" [--require-nonempty]

It prints the number of records it examined, and --require-nonempty is passed
when the PR actually touched submissions/, so an empty scan fails. "Found
nothing" must not read as "found nothing wrong".

submissions/ is now committed for the same reason: a missing directory is a
reported failure, not "nothing to check".

notify-site had the same shape

SITE_DISPATCH_TOKEN was unset, so it printed a notice and exited 0 - success on
every push to main while never dispatching. The site's repository_dispatch path
is consequently untested. A repository variable now gates the job: skipped
when off, hard failure when on with the credential missing.

To enable, a fine-grained PAT scoped to the site repo with Contents: read/write,
stored as SITE_DISPATCH_TOKEN, plus SITE_DISPATCH_ENABLED=true. This is the
only sanctioned stored credential in either repo - GITHUB_TOKEN cannot dispatch
cross-repo, and the federation used for the Claude action covers Anthropic only.

Branch protection gap, to fix after merge

This repo currently requires exactly one status check: size. schema is not
required
, so a submission failing schema validation can merge today. I will add
it once these job names exist on main, then enable enforce_admins.

Also

  • CODEOWNERS, Dependabot for Actions, CodeQL - none of which existed here
  • PR template and an ingest-failure issue form
  • CodeQL is SHA-pinned; its analyze job holds security-events: write

Note on scope

parser-repair.yml is not here despite PLAN.md listing it under this repo.
It lives in the site repo, because the parser it repairs is tools/ingest.py.
Putting it here would require a second cross-repo write credential. Reasoning is
in the workflow header and in the companion PR.

derive.yml is deliberately absent - the current PLAN.md lists three workflows
for this repo, not four.

…ting green for free

The schema job ran `uv run eda-validate` with no argument from inside .site.
That validated the LEADERBOARD's own registries and baseline, printed success,
and never opened the submission. Any submission would have passed it. It has
never been exercised either, since this repo has had zero pull requests.

It now passes --submissions pointing at this repo's submissions/ tree, and prints
how many records it examined. When the pull request actually touched submissions/
it also passes --require-nonempty, so an empty scan is a failure rather than a
silent pass - "found nothing" must not read as "found nothing wrong".

submissions/ is committed rather than left empty for the same reason: a missing
directory is now a reported failure, not "nothing to check".

notify-site had the matching problem. SITE_DISPATCH_TOKEN was unset, so it
printed a notice and exited 0 - success on every push to main while never
dispatching, leaving the site's repository_dispatch path untested behind a green
tick. A repository variable now gates the job, so it reports SKIPPED when off and
fails hard when on with the credential missing.

Also adds CODEOWNERS, Dependabot for Actions, CodeQL, a PR template and issue
templates, none of which this repo had. CodeQL is SHA-pinned because its analyze
job holds security-events: write.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@JiwaniZakir, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 104 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Repository governance and submission processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contribution and submission contract
.github/CODEOWNERS, .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/*, .github/pull_request_template.md, .github/dependabot.yml, submissions/README.md
Added ownership rules, issue intake forms, pull request guidance, Dependabot settings, and submission requirements.
Submission diff and scan validation
.github/workflows/validate-submission.yml
The workflow now identifies changed submission paths, validates the selected path, requires nonempty scans when applicable, and reports tracked file counts.
Workflow security and site notification
.github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/notify-site.yml
Added scheduled and event-driven CodeQL analysis. Gated site dispatch on a repository variable and made missing-token handling fail explicitly.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9dc20

The submission guard currently treats submissions/README.md as a submission record change, causing the non-empty check to fail and blocking this documentation-only bootstrap PR. The change should detect record files while still covering deletions before merge.

You are seeing this message because GitHub Code Scanning has recently been set up for this repository, or this pull request contains the workflow file for the Code Scanning tool.

What Enabling Code Scanning Means:

  • The 'Security' tab will display more code scanning analysis results (e.g., for the default branch).
  • Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results.
  • You will be able to see the analysis results for the pull request's branch on this overview once the scans have completed and the checks have passed.

For more information about GitHub Code Scanning, check out the documentation.

Comment thread .github/workflows/validate-submission.yml Outdated
analyze (python) failed on its first run with exit code 32: 'CodeQL could not
process any code written in Python'. This repo holds data, not code - there is no
Python here until a submission arrives carrying predict.py.

Ports the site repo's detect job. The Python leg now starts by itself the moment
a submission lands, rather than sitting red until someone remembers to re-enable
it, or being deleted for being noisy on the one repo where untrusted Python is
the entire point.
…DA install

The first run of this workflow proved the point it was written to make. It
printed 'validate: 3 checks, 0 failures' with no submission count: the site's
main still had the old argument-less entry point, which does not reject an
unknown flag - it never looked at argv at all. So --submissions was silently
ignored, nothing was validated, and the check went green.

A guard on the guard: the step now fails unless the output carries the count
line. Absence of that line means we validated nothing, whatever the exit status
says. This also protects the ordering dependency, since this workflow checks out
the site repo's default branch and can therefore run against a validator older
than the flag.

Also drops --all-extras, which pulled torch and the whole CUDA stack - about
2.5 GB, measured from the run log - to validate JSON. Wrong instinct on the one
runner that handles untrusted submissions: every installed package is attack
surface and none of it was needed.
--require-nonempty fired on this very PR, which adds submissions/README.md and no
records. The pathspec counted any changed file under submissions/, so a docs
change looked like a submission change and the empty scan was reported as the
vacuity failure it is designed to catch.

The trigger now asks the same question the scanner answers: only .json, .yaml and
.yml count, matching tools/submissions.py SUFFIXES.
