Phase 0 reconciliation against PLAN.md. Companion PR in the experiments repo.

The theme

Three guards were reporting a result they had not earned. Two were green because
they did nothing; one goes red for reasons unrelated to what it checks.

Guard Was Now
size ran build.py first, so a missing build.py failed the job with zero files measured pure git ls-files -z scan, no install, no build; also fails if it walks zero files
claude-review ANTHROPIC_API_KEY never set, preflight skipped the review, workflow reported success on every PR workload identity federation, no credential at all; reports skipped when unconfigured
validate-submission (other repo) ran eda-validate against this repo, so it passed regardless of submission content --submissions DIR, reports the count it examined, --require-nonempty when the PR touched submissions/

The size change is live evidence, not theory: it is the reason size-guard,
link-check and a11y are all red on #9 and #10 right now. One missing
build.py, three red checks, none of them about their own subject.

Authentication

PLAN.md specifies federation over a stored key, and that is now achievable
against the first-party API directly. anthropic_federation_rule_id /
anthropic_organization_id / anthropic_service_account_id are identifiers, not
credentials, so they live in repository variables.

This needs three values from the Claude Console before the review job runs.
Until they are set, zero jobs run and the workflow reports skipped - a grey icon,
never a green tick.

When creating the federation rule, constrain the subject. For pull_request
events the OIDC subject is repo:OWNER/REPO:pull_request with no ref component,
so a ref constraint alone does not separate a fork PR from a same-repo one. Pin
the prefix to this repo and add a repository_owner claim.

One thing worth knowing

The job permissions: block does not constrain Claude. By default the action
mints a GitHub App installation token whose scope is set server-side and includes
contents: write, so contents: read would not have stopped it committing. The
--allowedTools list is the actual control, and it is now explicit.

Permissions posture

No job runs on pull_request_target, and none will. Every workflow declares
permissions: {} at the top level. codeql is now SHA-pinned, since it holds
security-events: write and deploy.yml incorrectly claimed to be the only
write-holding workflow.

Also

  • .claude/agents/ - all seven from the roster, absent from every branch until now
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ - neither repo had any
  • CLAUDE.md becomes a symlink to AGENTS.md

Verification

make check: ruff, ruff format, mypy strict, eda-validate, 127 tests, build. Green.

New tests target vacuity specifically: that the submission $ref resolves
offline with sockets blocked, that a bad nested cell is caught, and that an empty
scan fails when the PR touched submissions/.

Deliberately not in scope: the missing build.py on #9 and #10 is Phase 1/2 work.

Phase 0 reconciliation against PLAN.md. Three of these are guards that were
green, or red, for reasons unrelated to what they claim to check.

size-guard ran build.py before its file-size check, so a missing build.py failed
the job without a single file being measured - which is what is happening on
phase-1/registries and phase-2/baseline right now. Split into `size` (pure
git ls-files scan, no install, no build) and `dist-size`. The job name `size` is
preserved because it is a required status check. The scan now also fails when it
walks zero files, since an empty scan is a broken scan rather than a clean repo.

claude-review authenticated with an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret that was never set,
and resolved that in a preflight job which skipped the review. It has reported
success on every pull request without once invoking Claude. Migrated to workload
identity federation per PLAN.md, which removes the credential entirely. The
preflight job goes with it: `secrets` is not available in a job-level `if:`,
which is why it existed, but `vars` is - so the job gates on configuration
directly and reports SKIPPED rather than green when unconfigured.

The tool allowlist is what makes that job review-only. The `permissions:` block
does not constrain it: by default the action mints a GitHub App token whose
scope is set server-side and includes contents:write, so `contents: read` alone
would not stop Claude committing.

codeql holds security-events: write but floated on @V3, while deploy.yml claimed
in a comment to be the only write-holding workflow. Pinned codeql to SHAs and
corrected the comment.

Also adds the seven subagent definitions from the PLAN.md roster, which were
absent from every branch of both repos, and the issue templates neither repo had.

CLAUDE.md becomes a symlink to AGENTS.md, per convention.

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

Next review available in: 107 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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds offline submission validation and CLI integration, updates workflow authentication, action pinning, size checks, and parser repair, and adds repository guidance, specialized review agents, and structured issue templates.

Changes

Submission validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Offline submission schema validation
pyproject.toml, tools/submissions.py, tests/test_submissions.py
Adds offline JSON Schema resolution, deterministic JSON/YAML discovery, safe parsing, validation errors, and coverage for valid, invalid, malformed, and unsafe submissions.
Validation CLI integration
tools/validate.py, tests/test_scaffold.py, tests/test_submissions.py
Adds submission options, count reporting, failure propagation, argument validation, and isolated CLI tests.

Workflow controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Federated Claude review execution
.github/workflows/claude-review.yml
Replaces API-key authentication with workload identity federation and limits review tools.
Workflow action pinning policy
.github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/deploy.yml
Pins CodeQL actions to commit SHAs and documents the write-permission policy.
Separated committed and build-output size checks
.github/workflows/size-guard.yml
Splits tracked-file and dist/ size validation into separate jobs and checks scan and build outputs.
Maintainer-controlled parser repair
.github/workflows/parser-repair.yml
Adds a manual repair workflow with scoped permissions, test and check requirements, branch push controls, and no pull-request creation.

Repository guidance and review configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repository and EDA domain guidance
AGENTS.md, .claude/agents/eda-domain.md
Documents registry-based domain rules, parsing rules, metric rules, and validation commands.
Specialized review agents
.claude/agents/*
Adds data-integrity, accessibility, performance, planning, repository-scout, and security review configurations.
Structured issue intake
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/*
Adds site bug and data-error forms and disables blank issues.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 7f929

The PR adds automated repository repair and publication, but the workflow can run mutable actions with write-capable permissions and publish without an enforced validation step. The submission validator can also mishandle malformed or non-standard JSON, so the change is not merge-ready until these security and validation issues are fixed.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The experiments repo documents its record as submission.yaml while the schema is
JSON. Scanning only *.json would have left the guard vacuous a second time: a
clean pass because it was looking for the wrong extension.

YAML goes through safe_load. A !!python/object: tag in a submission is a
code-execution attempt, so ConstructorError becoming a reported failure is the
intended behaviour, not something to work around. Note this is the opposite call
from hparams.yaml, which legitimately carries those tags and never reaches here.

In @.claude/agents/eda-domain.md:
- Around line 39-44: The “Saturated” definition in the EDA domain guidance
should use the registry optimum rather than approximately zero baseline error.

…pairs

Two deliberate deviations from PLAN.md, both security-driven.

PLAN.md lists this under the experiments repo, but the parser it repairs is
tools/ingest.py, which lives here. Placed there it would need a cross-repo token
with contents:write on the site repo - a second long-lived credential with write
access to the published leaderboard. Here, the job's own GITHUB_TOKEN suffices.

PLAN.md triggers it on validate-submission failure, i.e. workflow_run. That
cannot serve the case it exists for: the action performs actor write-permission
checks on workflow_run, checking both the run actor and the upstream actor, and a
fork submitter has none - which is exactly when a parser bug surfaces. The
documented workaround, allowed_non_write_users, is labelled by the action's own
docs a significant security risk, and would hand prompt control over a
contents:write job to anyone who can open a PR.

workflow_dispatch instead. Triggering requires write access, and a maintainer
first judges whether it is a parser bug or a bad submission - the same
human-in-the-loop step PLAN.md asks for, one step earlier.
PLAN.md asks for one PR with three defects and all three checks red. That was
done as PR #5 and it passed as written. Two things it cannot show.

A red check is not evidence the check ran. size-guard used to build before
measuring, so a missing build.py failed the job having measured nothing -
indistinguishable from catching an oversized file, and exactly what happens on
phase-1 and phase-2 today. So every assertion greps the job log for the guard's
own error string, never just conclusion == failure.

One PR with three defects shows the guards fail together, not independently. A
guard going red because a different defect broke its setup looks identical. So
three single-defect PRs run first and each asserts the other two guards stay
GREEN.

Re-runnable, because PLAN.md Phase 12 warns protection does not always survive a
transfer, and protection you believe in but do not have is worse than none.

CodeRabbit flagged the tool restriction, correctly. --allowedTools only
PRE-APPROVES: tools left off it remain available and fall through to the
permission mode. Headless mode currently denies that fallthrough, so an allowlist
alone happens to work - but that is an implicit runner behaviour, not a stated
guarantee, and it is one default change away from silently granting Edit and
Write to a workflow that reviews pull requests. --disallowedTools takes
precedence and cannot be overridden, so both workflows now state the denial.

This matters more in parser-repair, which holds contents:write deliberately.
There the difference between 'not listed' and 'denied' is the human-in-the-loop
step itself.

Also corrects the saturation definition in the eda-domain and data-integrity
agents. They said saturated means baseline error is approximately zero;
tools/registry.py defines it as the baseline already being at the optimum and
notes that eight of those cells are tpr/tnr at 100%, where an error-zero test is
false. A review agent carrying the wrong definition would have waved through the
exact bug it exists to catch. Adds the positive-enumeration rationale and the
degeneracy-wins precedence, which still yields 880/232 when reversed and so is
invisible in the totals.
… floating

Three findings from review, all real, all on the untrusted-input path.

NaN and infinities were accepted. json.loads reads the bare literals NaN,
Infinity and -Infinity despite none being valid JSON, and YAML 1.1 reads .nan
and .inf. Either survives schema validation, because JSON Schema's 'number'
accepts them, and then poisons ranking: NaN compares false against every bound,
so the cell sorts unpredictably and can be recorded as beating a baseline. On a
leaderboard other groups cite that is worse than a rejected submission. Rejected
now for both formats by one walk over the parsed record.

UnicodeDecodeError was uncaught. It subclasses ValueError, not OSError and not
JSONDecodeError, so it escaped both handlers and aborted the entire run - one
stray byte in one submission would have taken every other submission's result
with it.

And I wrote the rule 'any workflow holding a write scope is pinned', then left
claude-review and parser-repair on floating tags. Both hold write scopes. Pinned.

size-guard now lists tracked files into a file rather than reading from a process
substitution, which does not propagate exit status - a failing git ls-files would
have yielded an empty loop and read as a clean scan. The zero-files check already
caught that; this makes it fail at the source instead.
