Inline comments on files beyond the first diff page were rejected locally as "not in the merge request diff". changes_get also returned one page without exposing how to continue.
The position pre-check now searches for the requested old or new path one page at a time and stops at the first match. It retains no earlier pages. Discussion create and draft-note create/update share this lookup and preserve the requested body, position and SHAs.
Before trusting the listing, the helper reads the MR's diff_refs and compares all three SHAs with the position. It reads them again after finding the file or finishing the listing. A changed, missing or unreadable snapshot, a listing error, cancellation, non-advancing pagination or an exhausted page budget makes the pre-check advisory: GitLab judges the original write. Only a complete, stable result can produce the existing informative local file/line error. A matching file with no available patch skips line validation.
The walk is bounded by RQB-013 at 100 actual list calls of 100 files. A match or completed listing on call 100 is valid; call 101 is never sent. Reaching the bound adds no caller quota and does not reject the write.
changes_get publishes pagination metadata in structured output and Markdown. Guidance describes offset continuation, next_page → page, with per_page: 100. The PR-added keyset request option and synthetic endpoint tests are removed. Existing input fields remain unchanged for the separate follow-up discussed in review.

Type of Change
Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
Documentation update
Changes Made
Search the target path with early stopping, bounded requests and before/after snapshot checks.
Keep both snapshot reads: the second detects a push during the search, so evidence from a newer diff cannot justify a local refusal. A successful lookup costs k+2 reads for a match on page k, plus the write. This remains best effort; GitLab validates changes after the final read.
Show page file counts as N, N of total, or N shown, more available.
Exercise served individual tools through RegisterAll and LockdownInputSchemas, including all nine combinations of write operation and diff page.
Make cancellation tests reach page two and the final snapshot deterministically; correct the missing-page fixture default.
Follow test-file naming, add test doc comments and MR read-for-own-use declarations, and regenerate snapshots, request inventory and derived references.
Update the workflow documentation in English and Spanish.
How to Test
Focused behavior and race checks:
go test -count=1 ./internal/toolutil ./internal/tools/mrchanges ./internal/tools \
-run '^(TestMergeRequestDiffForPositionCheck_|TestMRReview_|TestCatalogGroupDescription_MRChangesPagination_|TestActionSpecs_ChangesGetPagination_|TestFormatOutputMarkdown_)'
go test -race -count=1 ./internal/toolutil ./internal/tools ./internal/tools/mrchanges \
-run '^(TestMergeRequestDiffForPositionCheck_|TestMRReview_|TestCatalogGroupDescription_MRChangesPagination_|TestActionSpecs_ChangesGetPagination_|TestFormatOutputMarkdown_|TestMRChangesGet_Pagination)'
go test -race -count=100 -failfast ./internal/toolutil \
-run '^TestMergeRequestDiffForPositionCheck_Cancelled(NextPage|FinalSnapshot)_'
Fresh unit coverage:
go test -count=1 -coverpkg=./cmd/...,./internal/... \
-coverprofile=coverage.out ./cmd/... ./internal/...
go tool cover -func=coverage.out
Validation completed locally on macOS with Go 1.27.3:
All 294 tested unit packages passed; total statement coverage is 99.9%. The lookup, snapshot helper and changed MR-diff handler/formatter functions have 100% coverage.
Focused tests, race checks and 100 repetitions of both cancellation scenarios passed.
make analyze-fix, make analyze (31/31), make build and go build ./... passed.
All 42 PR-applicable generated gates passed, including naming, Godoc, R-PATH, grants, footprint, manifests and testing reference. check-server-json passed after its pinned publisher was installed.
HTTP and STDIO transport E2E passed.
EN/ES parity, site lint, site build, built-HTML validation and accessibility checks passed.
Site dependency audit passed the configured high-severity threshold; it reported one low-severity advisory.
The remaining GPG and repository-script failures were investigated separately, without changing their source or assertions. On Debian 12 / Linux arm64 in Docker, with Go 1.27.3, Node 24.22.1, Python 3.11.2 and GnuPG 2.2.40:
Both TestGPGPublicKey_ tests passed, including the real GPG import, owner and self-signature checks; neither was skipped.
The unmodified Python suite completed with Ran 471 tests, OK (skipped=5): zero failures and zero errors. It ran in an isolated writable source copy with external networking disabled.
The five skips were four Homebrew/Ruby cases and one comma-decimal-locale case because those prerequisites were absent. All five passed in the macOS run.
Commands run inside the Linux environment:
go test -tags e2e -count=1 -run '^TestGPGPublicKey_' -v ./test/e2e/internal/fixture
python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p '*_test.py' -v
The macOS results remain recorded: the GPG fixture fails because its agent socket path is too long; the Python suite reports 163 failures, 4 errors and 9 skips across 471 tests. Investigation identified missing Bash/GNU-tool prerequisites, fixture path assumptions and pre-existing script portability defects. In particular, the i18n script can silently skip execution through a symlink on Linux too; the normal Linux suite does not exercise that invocation. All affected fixture/script sources are unchanged from the PR base. No portability fix, assertion weakening or CI-threshold change is included here.
The Linux reproduction is Debian/arm64, not the GitHub Ubuntu/amd64 runner, and does not replace CI for the published revision. No live GitLab write test was run.

Class P, as computed for a request bound by the register. No class D finding.
VAL-004
RequestBound, not a share or fairness guarantee.
VAL-005
No claim to protect a process-wide resource or one population from another, so no process partner applies.
VAL-006
At 100 list calls, a match or terminal page is accepted. If another page is needed, discard incomplete evidence and let GitLab judge the unchanged write. No table is keyed on caller input.
VAL-007
No new refusal, channel, code, HTTP status, Retry-After or retry class, on HTTP or STDIO. Existing stable-snapshot position errors remain unchanged.
VAL-008
Counts actual diff-list calls within this lookup only. It does not charge an admission, tenant or server quota, and charges no unjudged write.
VAL-009
Fixed source constant mergeRequestDiffPositionMaxPages = 100; 100 files per call. No new setting, flag or MCP parameter, so operator-supplied zero and malformed values do not apply.
VAL-010
Debug diagnostics state why the advisory check was skipped. No new refusal metric or caller/address identity label; existing project/MR context identifies the operation.
VAL-011
The same request bound and advisory fallback apply on STDIO.
VAL-012
No population-protection or fairness claim, so fairness measurement is not applicable. Boundary, early-stop and fallback behavior are covered by regression tests.
GitLab documents a maximum diff_max_files of 3,000, normally at most 30 pages at 100 files per page. The 100-call bound also ends a malformed walk that keeps advertising another page. GitLab's own diff-size limits still apply.

📝 Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Merge request changes can now be retrieved in pages, with pagination details showing whether more results are available and how to request the next page.
Inline comments and draft notes can locate files across multiple diff pages; when a position cannot be confirmed, GitLab can validate the write.
Documentation
Updated tool guidance and examples to explain pagination, page-size options, and inline position checks.
Merge-request diff reads now return one page with pagination metadata. Inline discussion and draft-note position checks search paginated diffs for the target file and verify merge-request diff references before accepting lookup results.
changes_get returns pagination metadata and renders page counts and continuation information. Schemas, tool descriptions, tests, and reference material document page, per_page, and next_page. Supporting test and token counts were refreshed.
Search diff pages against a stable snapshot internal/toolutil/diff_position.go, internal/toolutil/diff_position_test.go, internal/tenancy/*
The diff-position lookup checks expected refs against the merge-request snapshot, searches up to 100 pages, and returns evidence only when snapshot checks succeed. Request-bound decision RQB-013 records the page limit.
Use the lookup for inline writes internal/tools/mrdiscussions/*, internal/tools/mrdraftnotes/*, internal/tools/register_test.go, internal/tools/actiongrants/table_gen.go, docs/development/*, cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths/sent_declarations.go, site/src/content/docs/*/examples/code-review-workflows.mdx
Discussion and draft-note position validation use the targeted lookup. Tests cover paginated matches, missing files, and unavailable evidence. Request records and workflow documentation describe the added snapshot reads and lookup behavior.

**Malformed pagination can stall inline writes**
When gitLab or an intermediary returns a successful response with an increasing `NextPage` indefinitely, `MergeRequestDiffsForPositionCheck` has no page or request-count limit, so a GitLab instance or proxy that keeps returning an increasing `NextPage` makes the loop fetch and accumulate pages until the action deadline, delaying the inline write for up to the configured timeout.
Add a reasonable maximum page/request count and abandon the advisory pre-check when it is reached.

**Valid inline writes are rejected**
When another actor changes the merge request's changed-file set while the helper fetches offset pages, `MergeRequestDiffsForPositionCheck` combines pages from different versions of the diff and reports the listing as complete. The pages can omit the target file, so `validatePosition` rejects a valid discussion or draft-note write before it reaches GitLab.
Avoid treating offset pages fetched across a changing diff as a complete listing when validating the inline position.

+usage: "Get the current file diffs (changes) for a merge request by project_id and merge_request_iid.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Keyset pagination repeats pages**
When a caller uses keyset pagination and receives a page with `has_more` true, the usage guidance tells callers to pass `next_page` as `page`, but keyset responses put the continuation in `next_page_token` and leave `next_page` at zero. Following the guidance requests the first page again instead of advancing.
Update the usage guidance to tell callers to continue keyset pagination with `next_page_token` rather than `page`.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Inline writes fetch unused pages**
When an inline position is valid on an early page of a merge request with many diff pages, `MergeRequestDiffsForPositionCheck` continues requesting pages and appending their diffs even after the target file could be found on an earlier page; `validatePosition` cannot inspect the result until the helper returns. Large merge requests therefore make even an early-page inline comment wait for every page and retain all diffs in memory.
Check and validate a matching file as pages arrive, continuing through all pages only when needed to establish that the file is absent.

Thanks a lot for this, and for the quick follow-up commits. The bug is real. I reproduced it on main with a test that serves a 150-file merge request: an inline comment on file-120.go was refused as "not in the merge request diff", because the pre-check only reads the first page of /diffs. The changes_get half also fixes a quieter problem. It stopped at GitLab's default of 20 files and never said there were more.
I've read the four commits as text against main, and the design in 540e32a is what I'd want:
it stops at the first page that has the file and keeps nothing else;
it caps the walk with a register row;
it checks the position's SHAs against the merge request's diff_refs before it trusts a listing;
it lets GitLab judge the write whenever the evidence is incomplete.
Thank you for adding RQB-013 the way the register expects, and for regenerating the inventory, the grants table, the snapshots and the docs.
I've approved the CI runs, and the one on 540e32a has finished. Everything but the generated job passed, including Compile, golangci-lint, Coverage, the Linux, macOS and Windows tests, both transport e2e modules and the site build; the two summary checks (Checks and CI) fail only because generated did. The generated job stopped at make check-test-file-names on exactly the three files in item 1 below, so the checks after it in that job (such as doc comments, the token footprint, site stats and the testing reference) haven't run yet. The run on 8baa547 is approved and running; the three files are still there, so I expect its generated job to stop at the same step.
I've left the details as inline comments. Where the fix is a change to the commented lines, the comment carries a suggestion you can apply from the page. Three of the test files need to move (item 1), so it's easiest to apply the suggestions in them first and then move the code.
Fails CI
make check-test-file-names, in the generated job, rejects three new files, which is why that job failed on 540e32a. A _test.go has to be named after a module it tests, so please move them:
internal/toolutil/diff_position_lookup_test.go (read as a qualified name over diff_position.go, which needs a build constraint or an external test package): its tests and helpers into internal/toolutil/diff_position_test.go.
internal/tools/mrchanges/pagination_keyset_test.go: TestActionSpecs_* into a new action_specs_test.go; the TestGet_Keyset* tests go away with item 2.
internal/tools/mr_review_metadata_test.go: into internal/tools/catalog_group_metadata_test.go.
go run ./cmd/audit_test_names/ -check-files cmd internal test checks this locally, and go run ./cmd/gen_testing_docs/ -skip-coverage refreshes the counts afterwards.
Please change
Thanks for 8baa547: the usage and both site pages now describe offset paging only, and the page_token guidance is gone. What's left of the keyset continuation is the option itself, its two tests and two bits of the curated text. GitLab pages GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/diffs by offset only, and our live record (docs/development/gitlab-api-live.json) lists just page, per_page and unidiff for it, so next_page_token is never published there. The option came in with 540e32a to answer Sourcery's keyset comment, which started from a wrong premise. Could you also drop:
the toolutil.KeysetContinuation option on the ListMergeRequestDiffs call in mr_changes.go (there's a suggestion);
the two TestGet_Keyset* tests, which only exercise that option (the Link header in the first one is synthetic, as your new comment there says);
in the curated gitlab_mr_review text in tools_meta.json, next_page_token in the changes_get return shape and pagination, page_token in its parameter line. The inline comment says where, and two expectations in mr_review_metadata_test.go change with it.
Two things in cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths/sent_declarations.go:
reasonPositionPreCheck still names MergeRequestDiffsForPositionCheck.
The new GET .../merge_requests/:merge_request_iid read in mrdiscussions and mrdraftnotes needs a read-for-its-own-use row for API::Entities::MergeRequest in each package. They can go next to the API::Entities::Diff rows, around line 1097, with a reason saying the merge request is read only to compare diff_refs with the position.
Without those rows, make audit-1to1-paths reports 128 new undeclared fields.
docs/development/tool-surfaces-and-action-core.md, around line 556, still lists mr_review.changes_get among the actions that declare a content kind. With the override gone, it should read "Four actions" without it.
internal/tools/register_pagination_test.go registers the specs with toolutil.RegisterSurfaceToolFromSpec on a bare server. That is the standalone-tool path, not the individual projection the server serves, and the file is an external test package that no import cycle requires. Could you move these tests into internal/tools/register_test.go (package tools) and drive them through the existing newMCPSession(t, handler, false), which goes through RegisterAll?
Two test details, both inline:
respondMRDiffPage answers 400 when page is missing, but GitLab treats a missing page as page 1. There's a suggestion for it.
The two cancellation tests in diff_position_lookup_test.go call cancel() before page 1 is answered, so the path each one names is not always reached, and their assertions hold either way. The comment has a sketch of a deterministic version.
In the changes_get card, Files shows the page length, so page 1 of a 201-file merge request at 100 per page says "Files: 100". The suggestion on markdown.go makes it "100 of 201" when GitLab sends a total, and "100 shown, more available" when it doesn't.
The description still describes the first design. Could you update it to the final one: the target-path lookup, the diff_refs reads and RQB-013? Could you also add answers to the validation checklist for the new row? docs/development/adding-a-limit.md (step 5) asks a PR that adds a limit to include them. I'll write the squash message myself.
After these, the generated files need one more pass: UPDATE_TOOLSNAPS=true go test ./internal/tools/ -run TestToolSnapshots -count=1, then make update-all and make gen-request-inventory.
A design question, not a request
The two diff_refs reads turn one request per inline comment into three on a merge request of up to 100 files, and into k+2 when the file is on page k. A single read before the search would make that two, or k+1, and would still leave to GitLab any position whose SHAs aren't the merge request's current ones. What it gives up is noticing a push that lands during the search: the pages read after it could come from a newer diff version than the one the SHAs name, so a file that version no longer touches would be refused locally instead of left to GitLab. Since the check is advisory and GitLab judges the write anyway, is that window worth one request less to you? I'm open to either; I'd just like to hear your reasoning.
Nits, take them or leave them
Most are inline suggestions: a short comment above the RQB-013 row, the resp == nil operand that can never be true, named subtests in one test and testutil.ForbiddenHandler(t) in two, testutil.AssertQueryParam in TestMRChangesGet_Pagination, the // sequential: marker that has no effect on a for {} loop, and `true` as code in both site pages. The one that isn't: doc comments on the new tests, as the existing tests in those packages have.
Already on main, not for this PR
Two things I noticed predate your change, so I'll track them in separate issues rather than ask you to fix them here:
mrchanges.GetInput accepts order_by, sort, pagination and page_token, which this route doesn't take.
validatePosition doesn't read position_type, so an image or file position is checked as if it were a text line and can be refused locally.
Thanks again for the careful work and for answering the bots so quickly. Once these are in and CI is green, I'm happy to merge it.
Could you update it to the final one: the target-path lookup, the diff_refs reads and RQB-013?
@jmrplens I have prepared the description around the target-path lookup, both snapshot reads, the advisory fallback and RQB-013, with answers to VAL-001 through VAL-012. I also corrected the content-kind override list to four actions and added doc comments to the new and moved tests. The pre-existing GetInput fields and position_type behavior stay outside this PR as requested.
I'm open to either; I'd just like to hear your reasoning.
I kept the second snapshot read. It detects a push during the walk, so a file missing from a newer diff version cannot cause a local refusal against the position's older SHAs. That costs one extra read: k+2 pre-check requests for a file on page k, plus the write. The search still stops at the first match and retains no earlier pages. This does not make the write atomic with the check; GitLab remains authoritative for changes after the final read.
the generated files need one more pass
Snapshots and all measurement-free generators were refreshed. I ran the full unit suite once with both coverage and request-inventory recording enabled, merged the shards, and reran dependent generation and freshness checks. This produces the requested artifacts without repeating the full suite through both aggregate Make targets. All 42 PR-applicable generated gates now pass, including server.json after the pinned publisher was installed.
The fresh unit run passed all 294 tested packages at 99.9% coverage. Focused race tests, both cancellation scenarios repeated 100 times, all 31 analysis steps, builds, both transport E2E modules and the site's static/build/HTML checks passed. check-server-json also passed after installing its pinned publisher.
I followed up on the GPG and repository-script failures in Debian 12 / Linux arm64 with Go 1.27.3, Node 24.22.1, Python 3.11.2 and GnuPG 2.2.40:
go test -tags e2e -count=1 -run '^TestGPGPublicKey_' -v ./test/e2e/internal/fixture
python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p '*_test.py' -v
Both GPG tests passed, including the actual import, owner and self-signature checks. The unmodified Python suite completed with Ran 471 tests, OK (skipped=5), with zero failures and zero errors, in an isolated writable source copy with external networking disabled. The five skips were four Homebrew/Ruby cases and one comma-decimal-locale case due to missing prerequisites; all five passed on macOS.
The macOS failures are still present: the GPG agent socket path is too long, and the Python suite reports 163 failures, 4 errors and 9 skips. The investigation separated missing Bash/GNU-tool prerequisites, fixture path assumptions and real pre-existing script portability bugs. One i18n entrypoint bug also reproduces through a symlink on Linux, despite the normal Linux suite passing. All affected fixture/script sources are unchanged from the PR base; I kept portability fixes outside this PR and did not weaken assertions or change CI thresholds.
This Debian/arm64 reproduction is not the GitHub Ubuntu/amd64 runner or a CI verdict for the published revision. No live GitLab write test was run.

answered as not met.
I added `cmd/audit_dco`, which judges the commits reachable from `-head`
and not from `-base`. It reads each commit from git with the trailers
git finds in its message, through `git log`'s `%(trailers)` placeholder,
so a sign-off counts exactly when git sees one. git reads the message's
last paragraph as trailers when every line of it is one, or when at
least a quarter of its lines are and one of them is a trailer git writes
itself, as `Signed-off-by` is: a `Signed-off-by` line outside that
paragraph is not a trailer, one sharing the paragraph with a line of
prose is, and so is a key in lower case. A commit passes when one of its
trailers names its author, the name and the email compared without
regard to case. It fails with no trailer, or when its trailers name only
other people or nobody.
`git log` prints each commit's fields between separator bytes, and a
message can carry them. A record ends only where its separator is
followed by a newline, which no field git prints holds, so such a
message is read as git reads it: the byte stays in its field, and a
trailer it ends names nobody. The commits are also listed by `git
rev-list`, and a run where the two lists differ stops, so a sign-off can
never move onto another commit. Text a commit's author chose is printed
with its control characters replaced, so a subject cannot start a
workflow command of its own.
A merge of two parents that brings no change of its own is reported and
not judged. `git show --remerge-diff` prints nothing for it, since its
tree is the one git's own merge of its parents makes, and that is the
merge GitHub's Update branch button writes. Every other merge is judged
like any other commit: one that resolves a conflict, adds or drops a
change while merging, or joins more than two parents, which git does not
remerge. Without that, a pull request could carry its whole change in an
unsigned merge and pass.
A declared bot's commits are exempt in a pull request that bot opened,
and only there. Dependabot is the one declaration in `bots.go`, with the
identity its commits carry and the login that opens its pull requests,
and a commit claiming that identity in a pull request somebody else
opened is judged like any other. The release workflow's version stamp is
pushed to `main` and never sits in a pull request, so nothing judges it
and it needs no declaration.
I decided the description is not judged. GitHub copies the
`Signed-off-by` trailers of a pull request's commits into the squash
commit, below the description and once each: the squash commits of #1512
and #1529, whose descriptions carry no trailer, carry the maintainer's,
and Dependabot's squash commits carry Dependabot's. Asking the
description for its own trailer would only repeat it.
`make check-dco` runs the command on `origin/main..HEAD` by default.
`ci.yml` gains a `✍️ DCO sign-off` job that runs it on every pull
request, with the event's base and head commits, the login that opened
it and annotations. The event of a stacked pull request names the head
of the layer below as its base: each of #1519 to #1525 had the head of
the layer below as its `base.sha`, and the em dash job of #1519 read
`4b110403`, the head of `issue-958a-zero-and-capacity`. So each layer's
pull request judges that layer's commits and no others. The comment on
the em dash job said its base was the stack's base, and I corrected it.
The job skips itself on a push to `main`, and the `checks` job waits on
it and counts that skip as a pass, as it already does for the image
build.
## Documentation
`CONTRIBUTING.md` gains a Developer Certificate of Origin section: what
the sign-off certifies, how to make it with `git commit -s`, how to sign
off commits already made with `git rebase --keep-base --signoff
origin/main`, what the check judges and exempts (a merge that changes
something is concluded with `git commit -s`), and why the squash commit
needs nothing more. The Before Submitting checklist, the review standard
and the acceptance list name it, and the pull request template gains a
checkbox.
`GOVERNANCE.md` lists the sign-off among a contributor's
responsibilities. The site's about page says it in English and Spanish,
linking the CONTRIBUTING section.
The repository settings page gains a Web commit sign-off section. That
setting makes GitHub sign off the commits it makes in its web interface,
such as an applied review suggestion, and it is off today: the page says
so, with the date I read it, and says that until it is on such a commit
needs the trailer typed into its message.
The `git-commit` skill, which `CLAUDE.md` sends commits through, now
commits with `-s` and says why.
The command reference, the repository map, `CLAUDE.md` (the rule, the
tree, and the package count, 309 in the module and 336 directories
holding tracked Go files) and the Copilot instructions name the command.
The testing reference is regenerated once, at the top of the stack.
## Tests
I wrote the tests first. Against stubs of every function, with `ci.yml`
and the `Makefile` as they stood before this layer, 39 of the 40 test
functions fail, 118 tests and subtests in all; the one that passes reads
an empty log, whose answer is the stub's. They now pass and cover every
statement of the package, all 104 conditions and all 80 branches by
gobco, and gremlins kills all 58 mutants.
The cases run over real repositories built in temporary directories:
commits signed off by their author, by somebody else, by nobody and by
`git commit --signoff` itself; a lower-case key; a `Signed-off-by` line
outside the last paragraph and one sharing it with prose; a merge that
brings no change, one that adds a file while merging, one made with
`--strategy=ours` and one of three parents; a merge whose tree the clone
lacks; Dependabot's commit in its own pull request and in a person's;
the separator byte in a subject, inside a trailer value and at the end
of the last trailer; and ranges git cannot read. Three contract tests
hold `ci.yml` (two) and the `Makefile` (one) to the command line the job
relies on.
I also ran the command on this repository's history. From `8f339f4e8`,
the stack's base on `main`, to this layer's head, all 50 commits pass:
the layers below were written before the adoption, and rebasing the
stack onto that `main` with `git rebase --signoff` signed each of their
commits off. Nothing in CI judges the layers below this one, which run a
`ci.yml` without the job, so a commit added to one of them later needs
`git commit -s` all the same. Dependabot's squash commit `065b75b15` is
exempt with `-opened-by 'dependabot[bot]'`.
## What only the maintainer can do
- **#1517.** It is the one other pull request open on 27 October. An
outside contributor opened it, its six commits carry no sign-off, and
only its author can add one. The first CI run a push to it starts after
this merges includes the job, which fails. The ways through are merging
#1517 before this, asking its author to sign off (a comment on their
pull request, which waits for your yes), or limiting the job to pull
requests opened after the adoption, which the decision to adopt the
certificate allows.
- **Web commit sign-off.** It is a repository setting: `gh api -X PATCH
repos/jmrplens/gitlab-mcp-server -F web_commit_signoff_required=true`.
Until it is on, a commit made in GitHub's web interface needs the
trailer typed by hand. Once it is on, the Current state paragraph of the
Web commit sign-off section in `docs/development/repository-settings.md`
and the sentence in CONTRIBUTING that says the setting is off both
change.
- **The acceptance test.** The plan asks for a test pull request whose
unsigned commit fails the job and whose signed commit passes. This pull
request's own run shows the signed half; the unsigned half needs a test
pull request, which I have not opened.
- **The issue.** This pull request refers to #1545, the issue of this
layer, rather than closing it: its work is done once web commit sign-off
is on and a test pull request has shown the job failing, and I close it
then by hand.
## Checks run
- `go test ./cmd/audit_dco/ -count=1 -cover`: 100.0% of statements.
- `make coverage-conditions PKG=./cmd/audit_dco`, in condition mode
(104/104) and branch mode (80/80).
- `make coverage-mutants PKG=./cmd/audit_dco`: 58 killed, 0 lived, 0 not
covered.
- `golangci-lint run --build-tags e2e ./cmd/audit_dco/` and
`golangci-lint fmt --diff`: clean.
- `make check-supply-chain`, `check-godocs`, `check-doc-tool-names`,
`check-action-ids`, `check-test-goroutines`, `check-test-subtests`,
`check-test-file-names`, `check-dead-consts`, `check-md-tables` and
`check-tenancy`: all pass.
- `GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred go test ./... -count=1`: all
pass.
- `make check-dco DCO_BASE=bp-plaintext-listener`: this layer's commit
passes.
- `scripts/check-em-dash.sh diff bp-plaintext-listener` and `make
check-pr-description` on this text: pass.
- markdownlint on every changed Markdown file, `node
scripts/check-doc-links.mjs`, and the site's `i18n:check`,
`facts:check`, `chips:check`, `llms:check`, `version:check`, `build` and
`lint`: all pass.
## On the rebased stack
I rebased the stack onto `main` at `8f339f4e8` on 27 October 2026. The
checks above ran on this layer before that rebase. On the rebased head,
`go build ./...`, `go vet ./...` and `go test ./... -count=1` pass with
the freshness comparisons deferred, as CI runs every layer below the
top, and `make check-dco` passes over every commit from that `main` to
the top of the stack. The committed generated artifacts are regenerated
once at the top of the stack, which runs every gate over the combined
tree.
## After the first CI round
SonarCloud found `runGit` running `git` by its name (S4036) and four
test variables in `cmd/audit_dco/report_test.go` that only fed the
condition below them (godre:S8193). `runGit` now resolves git with
`exec.LookPath` and runs the absolute path, as `cmd/gen_orbit_record`
and `cmd/gen_model_results` already do, and a PATH holding no git is
reported as the lookup's failure, which a new test holds; the four
conditions read the call directly. Both are folded into the layer's
commit. `cmd/audit_dco` stays at 100.0% of statements, 106 of 106
conditions and 82 of 82 branches, golangci-lint is clean, and gremlins
kills the 22 mutants of `git.go` with none lived or uncovered.

…ry source file (#1563)
Refs #1269
## What this changes
Every source file of the repository now opens with two lines, `Copyright
(c) 2026 José M. Requena Plens` and `SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT`,
written as comments of its language. These answer the OpenSSF Best
Practices criteria `copyright_per_file` and `license_per_file`, which
ask every source file to name its copyright holder and its license, the
second in the SPDX form near the top of the file. Until now no source
file said either.
The pull request has three commits: a refactor of `cmd/godoc_tool` that
its mutation gate asked for once this layer touched it; the gate with
its fix mode, the generators' share of the header and what the header
would otherwise break; and the rewrite of the tree made by that fix
mode. The testing reference that counts the new tests is regenerated
once, at the top of the stack.
## The gate
`cmd/internal/fileheader` holds the two statements, `CopyrightStatement`
and `LicenseStatement`, and `Go`, the form a Go file opens with: the two
lines as comments and a blank line. Without the blank line the header
would be read as the package's doc comment, or would join a generated
file's `Code generated` comment. The gate and every generator read the
same constants, so a header a generator writes is the header the gate
holds it to.
`cmd/audit_file_headers` judges the files git holds in its index and the
untracked ones it would add, read with `git ls-files`. I chose git's
list over a walk of the tree because the question is which files the
repository publishes. A walk would read what `.gitignore` keeps out
(`plan/`, `dist/`, `site/node_modules` with its thousands of files
somebody else wrote) unless it named each of them again, and the name
rule of `internal/sourcewalk` leaves out every dot-directory, which
would leave out the scripts under `.github/scripts`. Files of a checkout
nested in the tree are not listed, which is the answer the marker rule
of `internal/sourcewalk` gives a walk. The cost is that the command runs
in a checkout, not in a copy of the tree without its `.git`.
Of those files it judges Go (testdata included), shell, PowerShell, jq,
Python, Ruby, JavaScript and TypeScript in each of their extensions,
CSS, Astro components, Makefiles and the Dockerfile. Markdown, MDX,
JSON, YAML (the workflows included), TOML, the pinned GraphQL schema,
plain text, SVG and images are documentation, data and configuration and
carry no header. Each kind gets the header in its comment syntax, after
what has to stay above it to keep working: a shebang, an encoding
declaration on line 1 or 2 for Python and Ruby, a Dockerfile's parser
directives, a CSS `@charset` rule, and the frontmatter fence of an Astro
component, whose header lives in the frontmatter so that it is not
rendered into the page. In a Go file the header comes before any build
constraint, as in the Go project's own files.
A file fails when its header is not those two lines, in order, exactly
there. It also fails at every comment line whose text opens with the
word `Copyright` or with an SPDX tag other than the header: a second
copy of the header, a header written below the package doc comment, or
the notice of a file somebody else wrote. The word has to end there, so
the doc comment of `CopyrightStatement` is not a notice. Each line is
read alone, without the syntax of the file around it, so a line of a
multi-line string or a heredoc that opens with a comment marker is read
as a comment. The rule errs towards reporting, since a notice it missed
would be a file somebody else wrote stamped with this one. Running it
over the tree found two lines of ours: the doc comment of the constant,
then named `Copyright`, which is why the word has to end there and the
constant is now `CopyrightStatement`, and a line of the gate's own
comment, which I reworded.
`-fix` writes the header into every file that does not open with it and
carries no other notice, followed by a blank line unless the file has
one there already, keeping every other byte and the file's mode. An
Astro component without a frontmatter is given one around the header. A
file with another notice is never rewritten. No file in the tree carries
one today: the module vendors nothing and the site's dependencies stay
in `site/node_modules`.
`make check-file-headers` runs the gate and `make fix-file-headers` its
fix mode. It is step 32 of `make analyze`, and a step of the `generated`
job of `ci.yml`, which runs on every pull request and every push to
`main`.
## The generators and what the header moves
`cmd/gen_action_catalog_manifest`, `cmd/gen_action_grants` and
`cmd/gen_brand` open the Go file each writes with the header, and the
three generated files are regenerated with it, never edited.
`cmd/gen_action_grants/table_stub.go.txt`, the stand-in the generator
compiles in `table_gen.go`'s place, is Go source under a `.txt` name the
gate does not read, and it carries the header by hand in the same
commit. `cmd/godoc_tool`'s `fix -move-package-doc` writes the header
into the `doc.go` it creates.
The same commit changes what the header would break or leave pointing at
the wrong line, so that making the rewrite again on a later `main` loses
none of it. `scripts/setup-orbit-fixtures.sh --help` printed lines 2 to
44 of the script, which with the header would have printed the header
and lost the last three lines of its usage comment; it now prints the
usage comment by pattern, and its help test holds the whole comment.
Three quoted compiler messages name a line the header moves three down:
the `internal/tools/todos` failure quoted in the testing README and in
`upstream-bugs.md` (`49:27`, now `52:27`) and the redeclaration panic
quoted in `scripts/coverage-conditions.sh` (`5:6`, now `8:6`), each
written as the rewrite leaves it. A comment of the e2e suite that named
line 28 of `internal/tools/catalog_filter.go` names the declaration
instead.
Other line references in `docs/development` to positions in this
repository's own files had already drifted before this change, and I
left those as they were: `settings.go:35` in the testing README, for
one, is a comment and not the `err != nil` the README names, and moving
it by three would not make it right.
## The godoc_tool refactor
Touching `godoc_tool` meant holding it to the mutation gate, and on the
base seven of its mutants lived and two were not covered: the finding
and count-table comparators, whose `<` mutated to `<=` cannot be told
apart where the keys are already known to differ, and the case
expression of a tagless switch over the test-function families. The
first commit makes the comparators `cmp.Or` chains of three-way
comparisons and the families a table, and cuts the count table with
`min`; these order and count as before. It also changes one behavior:
`sortFindings` becomes stable. `sort.Slice` could put findings that
share all four keys in either order, so two runs over one tree could
list them differently, and `slices.SortStableFunc` keeps the order they
were found in.
## The rewrite
The third commit was made by `make fix-file-headers`, run afresh on this
layer after the stack was rebased onto `main` at `8f339f4e8` rather than
rebased itself: 3419 files, 3278 of them Go, 54 Python, 36 shell, 18
MJS, 13 Astro, 9 CSS, 5 TypeScript, and the Ruby, PowerShell, JavaScript
and jq files, the Makefile and the Dockerfile. One edit is by hand.
`cmd/audit_test_closed_servers` pins the line of every finding in its
planted module, which the header moves three lines down, so its 64
positions and the three literals beside them move by three; each new
value is what the audit reports. That `main` had not changed the audit,
so the two test files are the hand-edited ones of the first rewrite, and
every other file the first rewrite stamped whose content `main` had not
changed came out of the fresh run byte for byte the same.
## Documentation
`docs/development/file-headers.md` says what the header is, which files
carry it and where, how a generated file gets it, what happens to a file
this repository did not write, how a change of holder or year is made,
and how this rewrite lands. The command reference, the static analysis
reference (its `make analyze` row and the two new targets), the
repository map and the `docs/development` index name the command.
`CONTRIBUTING.md` gains a Copyright and License Headers subsection under
Code Standards and a checklist item, and the pull request template a
checkbox. `CLAUDE.md` gains the rule and the link, the command in the
tree and the package counts (311 in the module, 338 directories holding
tracked Go files). `AGENTS.md` gains the rule among its invariants and
counts 32 analyze steps. The Go instructions say a new file opens with
the header before its `package` clause, the Copilot instructions name
the command, the `create-mcp-tool` skill's templates open with the
header, and the `go-source-documentation` skill and the
`go-source-documenter` agent say the header sits above a file's own
comment and is not a doc comment.
## Tests
I wrote the tests first. Against stubs of every function, with the
`Makefile` and `ci.yml` as they stood before, 14 of the command's 16
test functions failed; the two that passed expect an empty answer, which
is the stubs'. The cases I added later failed first too: the jq cases
before the kind existed; the word boundary's four cases (`//
CopyrightStatement is ...`, `// Copyright_holder ...`, `// Copyright2026
...`, `// Copyrighted material`) under the earlier prefix rule; a
fixture planted beside a user ignore file naming `*.sh`, which lost its
script until the tests' git isolation also replaced the user
configuration directory; the help test of `setup-orbit-fixtures.sh`
against the fixed line range; and `godoc_tool`'s stable-sort test, which
sorts thirty-two findings over two keys and failed against `sort.Slice`
and against `slices.SortFunc`. The three generators' new tests and
`godoc_tool`'s three `doc.go` move tests failed before each wrote the
header; two more `doc.go` expectations, in `godoc_tool`'s bound tests, I
found when the change made them fail, and updated.
The cases run over real repositories built in temporary directories,
with git's system and user configuration and the user's ignore file kept
out: a clean tree, a planted file without the header, a third-party
notice, a header beside another notice, the fix mode writing and keeping
an executable script's mode, the fix mode leaving a file with another
notice and writing nothing over a clean tree, a file deleted from the
working tree, a symbolic link, a directory that is not a repository, and
a file that cannot be stated, read or rewritten. The rule's own cases
cover each kind and each preamble, the header absent and out of place,
and what the fix writes, each fix judged clean afterwards. Two contract
tests hold the `Makefile` and `ci.yml` to the targets and the step.
On the tree itself, the gate passes over all 3432 source files, and with
an untracked Go file and an untracked shell script planted without the
header it fails naming both.
## What only the maintainer can do
- **Landing the rewrite.** Three lines inserted at the top of a file
conflict only with a change to that file's first lines, so the rewrite
conflicts with few pull requests; what it asks of each one is the header
in every source file it adds. The plan has it merge with no other stack
open. I suggest it lands by being made again rather than rebased,
because by then `main` will have gained source files without the header,
and made again it is exactly the fix mode's output over that tree: on
the `main` of that moment, the first two commits rebased as usual, then
`make fix-file-headers` run afresh, then the positions in
`cmd/audit_test_closed_servers` moved again, which `go test
./cmd/audit_test_closed_servers/` names, and the testing reference
regenerated. Everything else the header needs by hand travels in the
second commit, so it is rebased rather than made again.
- **#1517.** It is the outside contribution open on 27 October, based on
`main` at `e3e09d290`. I merged each of the 18 source files it changes
with `git merge-file`, its base against the top of this stack, and none
conflicts. The file it adds,
`internal/tools/mrchanges/action_specs_test.go`, has no header and fails
the gate until its author runs `make fix-file-headers` after rebasing.
- **LICENSE.** It names the holder as "Jose Manuel Requena Plens", and
the header uses the spelling decided for it, "José M. Requena Plens". I
left LICENSE unchanged.
- **The Orbit fixtures.** The Python files under `test/fixtures/orbit`
now carry the header. The fixture projects on GitLab.com keep the
content they were created with, since `scripts/setup-orbit-fixtures.sh`
pushes a fixture only when it creates the project; no recorded answer
depends on their line numbers.
- **The Best Practices form.** `copyright_per_file` and
`license_per_file` can be answered Met once this merges, with `make
check-file-headers` and `docs/development/file-headers.md` as the
evidence.
## Checks run
- `go test ./cmd/audit_file_headers/ -count=1 -cover`: 100.0% of
statements; `make coverage-conditions PKG=./cmd/audit_file_headers` in
condition mode (94/94) and branch mode (56/56); `make coverage-mutants
PKG=./cmd/audit_file_headers`: 65 killed, 0 lived, 0 not covered.
- `cmd/godoc_tool`: 100.0% of statements, 626/626 conditions, 500/500
branches, 246 mutants killed, 0 lived, 0 not covered, after the refactor
commit and again after the gate commit.
- `cmd/gen_brand`, `cmd/gen_action_catalog_manifest` and
`cmd/gen_action_grants`: 100.0% of statements, every condition and
branch, and 56, 7 and 98 mutants killed with none lived or not covered.
- `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...`, `go test -tags e2e -c` over
`./test/e2e/gitlab/...`, and `go test ./... -count=1`: pass.
- `make test-e2e-harness`, `make test-e2e-http` and `make
test-e2e-stdio`: pass.
- `golangci-lint config verify`, `golangci-lint fmt --diff` and
`golangci-lint run` over the tree with the analysis tags, and every
other step of `make analyze`, the new step 32 included: pass.
- `make check-action-catalog-manifest`, `make brand-check` and `make
check-action-grants`: the three generated files are current.
- `make check-mcpb`: pass, and the manifest `mcpb/platform.jq` derives
for each of the three platforms is byte for byte the one it derived
before the header.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p "*_test.py"`: 509 tests
pass.
- The site's `i18n:check`, `facts:check`, `chips:check`, `llms:check`,
`version:check`, `build` and `lint`, and `node
scripts/check-doc-links.mjs`: pass.
- `npx markdownlint-cli2` and `go run ./cmd/format_md_tables/ --check`
on the changed pages: pass.
- `make check-testing-docs`, `make check-dco DCO_BASE=bp-dco`,
`scripts/check-em-dash.sh diff bp-dco` and `make check-pr-description`
on this text: pass.
## On the rebased stack
I rebased the stack onto `main` at `8f339f4e8` on 27 October 2026 and
made the rewrite again on it, as described above. That `main` carries
#1532, which lengthened the usage comment of
`scripts/setup-orbit-fixtures.sh`, printed it as lines 2 to 44 and added
a test of a nested namespace, so the gate commit's change to the same
lines conflicted: the merge keeps the help printed by pattern, and the
help test beside #1532's. The checks above ran on this layer before that
rebase. On the rebased head, `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...` and `go
test ./... -count=1` pass with the freshness comparisons deferred, as CI
runs every layer below the top, `make check-file-headers` passes over
all 3432 source files, and every commit carries a `Signed-off-by`
trailer. The committed generated artifacts are regenerated once at the
top of the stack, which runs every gate over the combined tree.
## After the first CI round
SonarCloud found `listFiles` running `git` by its name (S4036). It now
resolves git with `exec.LookPath` and runs the absolute path, as
`cmd/gen_orbit_record` and `cmd/gen_model_results` already do, and a
PATH holding no git is reported as the lookup's failure, which a new
test holds; the change is folded into the gate's commit.
`cmd/audit_file_headers` stays at 100.0% of statements, 96 of 96
conditions and 58 of 58 branches, golangci-lint is clean, and gremlins
kills the three mutants of `files.go` with none lived or uncovered. The
layers below changed in this round without adding a source file, so the
rewrite commit is the fix mode's output it was, rebased; the gate commit
also moves the line `scripts/coverage-conditions.sh` now quotes from
`internal/tools/todos`, `action_specs_test.go:49:27`, to `52:27`, as it
moves the same quotation elsewhere. `make check-file-headers` passes
over the same 3432 files.

Refs #1269, #1114, #1243, #1129
This is the top of the stack that carries the OpenSSF Best Practices
work of #1269 and the supply-chain layers below it (#1114, #1243,
#1269's Scorecard workflow and #1129's image scan). The layers below
leave the committed generated artifacts stale under the freshness
deferral, and this one regenerates them once, on the tree the merge puts
on `main`. It also carries the fixes the review bots' threads on the
layers asked for, each in a commit of its own (Review fixes, below); it
changes no handler.
The whole stack sits on `main` at `8f339f4e8`, onto which I rebased it
on 27 October 2026, layer by layer and in order. Every commit of it is
signed and carries a `Signed-off-by` trailer: the layers written before
the maintainer adopted the Developer Certificate of Origin got theirs
from `git rebase --signoff`. Where a layer met `main`'s configuration
stack (#1518 to #1525) or the Orbit fixtures' move (#1532) the conflicts
kept both sides, and generated files took `main`'s side to be
regenerated here. The supply-chain stack's own regeneration,
`c-c1-regen`, conflicted with `main`'s testing reference, held nothing
else, and was dropped, so `issue-1129-trivy` is now the top of that
part. The header rewrite of `bp-file-headers` was made again by `make
fix-file-headers` on the rebased tree rather than rebased.
## What it regenerates
Only the testing reference moves, and the action record gains the one
file a review fix reads. The layers and the review fixes add 271 test
functions, 266 under `cmd/` and five in `test/e2e/http`, 41 test files
under `cmd/` and seven packages, so
`docs/development/testing/testing.md` gains them in its totals, its
naming breakdown, its distribution table and the `cmd` coverage table. I
refreshed the counts with `go run ./cmd/gen_testing_docs/
-skip-coverage`, which carries every recorded coverage figure forward
and writes `n/a` for a package no coverage run has measured. The six new
packages that have statements (`cmd/audit_dco`,
`cmd/audit_file_headers`, `cmd/audit_image_vulns`,
`cmd/audit_site_headers`, `cmd/fuzz_targets` and
`cmd/reproduce_release`) carry the 100.0% `go test -covermode=count
-cover` reports for each, and `cmd/internal/fileheader`, which holds
constants alone, keeps `n/a`. A second `-skip-coverage` run keeps every
figure.
Every other generator of `make update-all` runs on this tree and writes
nothing: the brand assets, the action grants, the token footprint, the
site stats, the llms files, the per-domain tool reference in both
languages, the LobeHub manifest, the model corpus ledger and results
page, the action catalog manifest, the benchmark charts and the e2e
coverage record page, and the table formatter after them. The request
inventory, recorded again over the whole unit suite on this tree, does
not move (1680 rows, 976 paths, 1090 of 1090 catalog actions owned by a
package that recorded a request). `go run ./cmd/audit_supply_chain
-record` reads the 32 pinned actions again from GitHub and writes only
the Dockerfile of `hadolint/hadolint-action`, which the review fix for
#1552 reads. The package and file counts in `CLAUDE.md` match the tree:
311 packages in the module, 338 directories holding tracked Go files,
182 under `internal/tools`, 788 non-test and 488 test Go files there.
## Checks on this head
With the freshness comparisons checked
(`GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY` unset):
- `go test ./... -count=1`: 301 packages pass, recording the request
inventory as they run, and `go run ./cmd/gen_request_inventory/ -check`
passes after them (1680 rows, 976 paths). The coverage job's own command
passed with a total of 100.0% of statements on the head before the
review fixes, and `cmd/audit_supply_chain`, the one package whose code
they change, is at 100.0% of statements, 1532 of 1532 conditions and
1118 of 1118 branches under gobco, with gremlins leaving no mutant of
the five files they change lived, uncovered or timed out.
- Every `make` target the generated artifacts job runs, 45 of them with
`check-closed-servers`, `check-supply-chain`, `check-e2e-static` and
`audit-catalog-first`, passes; `check-openplugin`,
`check-server-json-packages` (the eight declared packages),
`check-file-headers` (3434 source files) and `check-dco` (all 73 commits
from `8f339f4e8`) pass locally, since the first two need `jq` and the
network and the last two read git.
- `make analyze` on the remote runner: 30 of 32 steps pass. Step 6,
markdownlint, has no `npx` there, and step 32, the file headers, has no
`.git`; both pass locally, markdownlint over `"**/*.{md,mdx}"`.
- `make test-e2e-http` (780 tests, the 8 that need Docker for a proxy or
a balancer skipped) and `make test-e2e-stdio` (277 tests) pass.
- The server binary and the e2e suite's compiles of the compile job, and
the type-check job's vets for windows/amd64, darwin/arm64 and
linux/arm64, pass.
- Locally: the repository scripts' 517 Python tests, `make
check-em-dash` against `main`, `make check-plan-untracked`, `make
check-mcpb`, the site's `i18n:check`, `facts:check`, `chips:check`,
`llms:check`, `version:check`, `build` and `lint`, and `node
scripts/check-doc-links.mjs` (350 files, 8267 anchors) pass.
- Every layer's head below this one passes `go build ./...`, `go vet
./...` and `go test ./... -count=1` with the freshness comparisons
deferred, as CI runs them.
- `make check-pr-description` passes on this text and on every layer's.
## The release rehearsals
Three layers change what `release.yml` does, and each is rehearsed from
its own branch once the stack is pushed: `issue-1129-trivy` for the
supply-chain layers (the PyPI publish and the image scan),
`bp-release-notes` for the written summary preflight requires, and
`bp-reproducible-builds` for the rebuild compared byte for byte. `gh
workflow run release.yml --ref <branch>` builds, smoke-tests and
dry-runs every publisher from that branch and publishes nothing. Its
race gate runs the unit suite without the deferral, and the packages
whose tests compare a committed artifact pass that way on each of the
three branches and on `bp-image-base`. The review fix to
`scripts/publish-pypi.sh`, whose `--dry-run` the rehearsal's PyPI job
runs, lives on this branch, so the PyPI half of the `issue-1129-trivy`
rehearsal no longer exercises the script `main` will carry, and
`bp-regen` is rehearsed as well for it.
## After the first CI round
The first CI round of the stack asked for fixes in ten layers, each made
in the layer that owns it and folded into the commit it belongs to, or
added as a commit of that layer where it is new work, and every layer
above rebased on it:
- SonarCloud: the duplicated literals of #1550, #1552 and #1557, the
nested anonymous structs of #1553, the eight-parameter functions of
#1558, the tool run by its name from PATH in #1557, #1558, #1562 and
#1563 (each now resolved with `exec.LookPath`, as `cmd/gen_orbit_record`
does), and the test variables of #1562.
- GitGuardian on #1551: the stand-in OIDC token of the PyPI publish
tests is built at run time, and no commit of that layer carries the
literal.
- `windows-latest` on #1555: a file in the release notes directory's
place is refused on every system.
- The whole-tree condition measurement of #1558, which could not measure
31 packages: `scripts/coverage-conditions.sh` stages the two external
test package shapes gobco v1.3.4 cannot read, two tests read the same
thing in gobco's copy as in the source, and the 31 are measured and
recorded. I decided on 27 October to keep that staging, which supersedes
my decision of 6 October to leave the limit to gobco, until gobco
publishes a release with the fixes; upstream-bugs entries 97 and 140,
the script and the testing page say it is temporary.
- #1561 gained the hardened mode the maintainer decided on:
`--allow-plaintext-http` defaults to `true`, and `false` refuses a
plaintext listener off loopback, as register row ADM-015.
This head regenerates the testing reference once more for the tests that
round added. On every layer's head, `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...` and
`go test ./... -count=1` pass with the freshness comparisons deferred,
and every package whose code that round changed is at 100.0% of
statements, with every condition and branch gobco counts there taken and
no mutant lived or uncovered beyond the one constant initializer of
`cmd/server/listen.go` the layer below names.
## Review fixes
The review bots' threads on #1550 to #1562 found ten real gaps, and I
fixed each here, at the top, in a commit of its own, so no layer below
changes and only this pull request runs CI again; every thread, declined
ones included, is answered with the commit or with why it does not
apply. In `cmd/audit_supply_chain` (#1550, #1552, #1555): a GoReleaser
template is a value only the run knows and a build's overrides and a
flags string are read, an absolute `--config`, `dir` or `dist` stays
absolute and is refused, a tag-named image is refused in a job whose
token neither it nor its workflow declares, the images a container
action's Dockerfile builds from are held to their digest, read as
BuildKit binds the file's stages, parser directives and heredocs (the
record gains `hadolint/hadolint-action`'s Dockerfile, whose base is
pinned), a release note crediting an assistant as its author is refused,
and release note headings and fences are read as GitHub renders them.
`TestClient_StatelessAnswersCarryNoSession` holds the stateless
initialize to a JSON-RPC result (#1550), `scripts/publish-pypi.sh`
publishes exactly the six platform wheels, each a regular file (#1551),
the install pages say `make check-repeatable` does not build the
universal macOS binary (#1557), and the Code of Conduct offers the
OpenPGP key for a report sent by email (#1560). Each testable fix came
with a test that failed before it, `cmd/audit_supply_chain` stays at
100.0% of statements, and the testing reference is refreshed for the
seven test functions they add.
## Dependencies
This layer also moves every dependency to its newest release, with no
cooldown, which fixes this PR's CI failure: golang.org/x/net v0.62.0
fixes GO-2026-6860 and GO-2026-6866 in x/net/html, and
check-binary-vulns now reports no advisory on the six binaries. The
other Go moves are tiktoken-go/tokenizer v0.10.0 (whose Codec interface
gained two methods that the cmd/audit_tokens test doubles now
implement), gqlparser v2.5.64, grpc v1.85.0, grpc-gateway v2.33.0 and
their indirect dependencies. The builder image moves to the rebuilt
golang:1.27.3-alpine3.24 digest.
Five actions move: setup-python v7.1.0, markdownlint-cli2-action
v25.0.0, login-action v4.7.0, codeql-action v4.39.1 and
sonarqube-scan-action v8.4.0, with pinned-actions.json re-recorded. The
release tools move to GoReleaser v2.19.0, cosign v3.1.4, oras 1.3.6 and
mcp-publisher v1.8.6, the NuGet validation to the .NET 10.0.403 SDK
(both dnx facts the install page relies on re-verified), and the npm
validation and publishing to Node 24. The PyPI upload's lock is
recompiled (platformdirs 4.13.7, pyasn1 0.6.5).
The site moves to pnpm 12.16.1, Node 24.22.1 and the patch releases of
astro, starlight, markdown-remark, @astrojs/check and typescript-eslint.
The telemetry example moves to collector 0.164.0 and otel-lgtm 0.38.1,
the balancer e2e to HAProxy 3.4, and the e2e Bitbucket fixture to 10.5,
which now starts with basic authentication force-allowed: Bitbucket 10
blocks it by default, and both the fixture's setup script and GitLab's
importer authenticate with it.
Left out on purpose: client-go stays at v3.30.0 because it moves in its
own stack (the server's major tracks it, and a bump moves the served
surface and the fine-grained table); the GitLab CE/EE images stay pinned
because 19.5 is still GitLab's newest release and the fine-grained table
records it; Node 26 is not taken because no 26.x is LTS and it drops
Corepack; TypeScript 7 is refused by the peer ranges of @astrojs/check
and typescript-eslint. The release tools, the SDK and the builder image
were rehearsed with `release.yml` on this branch before merging.
## Before this merges
- **#1517.** It is the outside contribution open on 27 October, based on
`main` at `e3e09d290`. Its 18 changed source files merge with the top of
this stack without a conflict; the file it adds has no header and its
six commits no sign-off, which the header and DCO layers say how to
handle.
Milestone: 3.4.0.

…rting a pending access request as approved (#1567)
Closes#1280
Our access level schemas offered values GitLab refuses, and the two
access request approvals answered two calls wrongly.
`access.approve_project` and `access.approve_group` offered `0=No
access` and then sent no level for it, so GitLab applied its default and
the requester became a Developer. Given a level GitLab does not grant
there (`5` on a project, or on a group that is not a top-level group of
a licensed instance), GitLab answers the approval with `201` and the
requester while the request stays pending, and both actions reported
that as an approval. I read the approval service at v19.5.0-ee to be
sure: it sets the level on the request, the save fails the member's
validation, and the route presents the unsaved record, so nothing in the
answer tells the two apart.
I put the levels each family of routes accepts in one table,
`toolutil.AccessLevelSet` in `internal/toolutil/access_level.go`, read
from the v19.5.0-ee source: the filters and every project write take
Guest to Owner, the group writes take Minimal access as well (only on a
top-level group with a Premium or Ultimate license), an LDAP group link
takes Minimal access on any group, access tokens take Guest to Owner, a
broadcast message cannot target Security Manager, and a custom role
extends Guest to Maintainer.
Every membership access level parameter now publishes its set as an
integer enum and as an `N=Role` list in its description.
`min_access_level` and `shared_min_access_level` get theirs centrally,
since every route that takes them declares the same `values:`, and the
writes through their ActionSpecs. The handlers' hints and the parameter
guidance read the same table. Planner and Security Manager lost their
"(Premium/Ultimate)" label, because Community Edition grants both.
The approvals take `access_level` as optional (`*int`). A level the
scope does not grant, `0` included, is refused before any request, and
leaving it out sends none, so GitLab grants Developer. Minimal access is
the one level a group grants in some places and not in others, and the
approval's answer is the same either way, so a group approval at Minimal
access is refused without a request on the Free tier, reads the group
and is refused on a subgroup before the approval, and otherwise reads
the requester back among the group's members after it, answering a
requester who is not there as a request still pending. Both reads are
marked as optional requests for the fine-grained derivation, and the
member read goes out under the caller's context rather than the
approval's capture, so the membership reported is the approval's own
answer. Each handler still builds `ApproveAccessRequestOptions` itself
from its own input, so the 1:1 audit keeps pairing the two inputs with
client-go's options and R-ENUM judges the levels they offer.
Reading the routes for this found four more corrections beyond the
issue's list, which I made too: a project access token takes Owner from
a creator who holds it (GitLab's own `create_service_spec` asserts it,
and the description said it was invalid), while Planner and Security
Manager are granted only by an Owner of the project or by a member who
holds that role (`Gitlab::Access.level_encompasses?` keeps both outside
the hierarchy, so a Maintainer is refused them with a 400, and the
token's description and hint now say so), a project share takes Security
Manager and Owner (the hint said `10/20/30/40` only), a custom role
cannot extend Owner (`MemberRole` validates against
`options_for_custom_roles`, though `doc/api/member_roles.md` lists it),
and a broadcast message cannot target Security Manager
(`ALLOWED_TARGET_ACCESS_LEVELS` has none, though
`doc/api/broadcast_messages.md` lists it). The curated
`gitlab_member_role` and `gitlab_project` lines in `tools_meta.json`
said the same and are corrected by hand. The R-ENUM exemptions for these
fields now cite the routes and models rather than the API pages, and
name every value the schemas stopped offering. Register row 110 now says
what the server does, and a new row 141 records the two upstream pages,
which nobody has reported yet. The meta descriptions audit's premise
that a numeric value set cannot be an enum stopped holding once these
parameters became integer enums, so its page and comments now say what
does hold: it folds only an enum's string values and judges a numeric
set against the property's own description.
Measuring the touched packages found what no test reached, none of it
written by this branch, which I fixed in three commits of their own:
`groupmembers` built its published action IDs by joining two constants,
an expression no coverage profile reaches, so they are written out whole
and a test holds each to the spec it names; the token scope switch in
`accesstokens` is two ifs, for the same reason; the last case of the
`groupsaml` options switch is now measured both ways; and
`cmd/audit_meta_descriptions`, touched for its comments, exits through
the `osExit` seam the other commands use, so its `main` is measured, and
orders its findings with `strings.Compare` under `cmp.Or`, which orders
exactly as before and leaves nothing for the four boundary mutants the
old `<` comparator could never kill. The `create-mcp-tool` skill says
how a new access level parameter takes its set.
I wrote the tests first and ran them against the parent.
`TestApprove_LevelGitLabWouldNotGrant_IsRefusedBeforeTheApproval` (seven
cases: 0, 5 and 60 on a project, 0 and 60 on a group, 5 on the Free tier
and on a subgroup),
`TestApproveGroup_MinimalAccessLeftPending_IsNotReportedApproved` and
`TestApproveGroup_MinimalAccessOnALicensedTopLevelGroup_IsReadBackAndApproved`
all failed there: every approval was answered as granted, and no group
or member read was sent. The catalog-wide
`TestBuildActionCatalog_MembershipAccessLevels_OfferOnlyWhatTheRouteAccepts`
holds 32 action parameters to sets written as numbers in the test,
independent of the table, and failed on every one of them.
`TestProjectCreate_PlannerFromAMaintainer_IsExplainedAsOwnersToGrant`
failed on the description and hint that said only "no higher than the
caller's own". All of them pass on this branch.
Every touched package is at 100% of statements. gobco reports every
condition both ways: toolutil 4380/4380, internal/tools 406/406, dynamic
1910/1910, projects 1390/1390, groups 970/970, accesstokens 320/320,
enums 156/156, the meta descriptions audit 128/128, memberroles 126/126,
members 104/104, groupsaml 82/82, groupldap 72/72, broadcastmessages
66/66, invites 60/60 and adminspecs 40/40, and accessrequests 128/128
and groupmembers 180/180 measured in a scratch copy without their
external catalog test, which gobco's bridge cannot follow, so those two
are lower bounds. gremlins leaves no mutant lived, not covered or timed
out: on whole packages, 53 killed in accessrequests, 84 in groupmembers,
37 in groupsaml, 8 in adminspecs, 134 in accesstokens, 55 in the meta
descriptions audit, 65 in memberroles, 59 in members, 38 in
broadcastmessages, 34 in groupldap and 33 in invites; on the changed
files of the larger packages, 74 in toolutil's `access_level.go` and
`action_spec.go`, 491 in projects' `projects.go` and `action_specs.go`,
219 in groups' `groups.go`, `sharing.go` and `action_specs.go`, 15 in
dynamic's `example.go` and 4 in the enum audit's `exemptions.go`. Each
of the seven commits builds and passes `go test ./... -count=1` on its
own with `GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred`, and R-ENUM is clean
at each. On the head golangci-lint (with the `e2e` tag) passes on the
touched packages, the three end-to-end packages compile, and these gates
pass: dead constants, test goroutines, case loops, Markdown escaping,
action IDs, R-PATH, meta descriptions, catalog-first, e2e static,
surface quality, SDK context, tenancy, the fine-grained derivation,
R-GRANT, R-INPUT, R-ENUM, closed test servers, godoc, gateway
characters, documentation tool names, test file names, Markdown tables,
markdownlint and the documentation links. `make check-action-grants` and
`gen_testing_docs --check` report the fine-grained permissions pages and
the testing reference stale, which the top of the stack regenerates.
R-PATH passes here against the committed request inventory, which does
not hold the approval's two new reads yet. To see what the top's
regeneration makes of them, I recorded the whole suite into a scratch
inventory: it differs from the committed one by exactly those two rows
(`GET /groups/:group_id` with `with_projects`, and `GET
/groups/:group_id/members/:member_id`), and R-PATH passes on it too,
with the group read adding the 75 fields of `GroupDetail` to the
report's undeclared unsurfaced fields. The top declares that read as one
the package makes for its own use, beside the LDAP link listing's, in
the commit that regenerates the inventory: here the declaration would
answer nothing, and R-PATH fails a declaration that answers nothing.
The CE and EE scenarios compile and run at the top of the stack: the
common one refuses `0` and `5` on a project and `0` on a group on every
surface and finds each request still pending, the CE one refuses Minimal
access on the Free tier, the EE one refuses it on a subgroup and grants
it on a licensed top-level group, and two probes create an Owner-level
project access token and are refused an Owner-based custom role.
This is the bottom layer of the stack, so the generated artifacts (the
tool snapshots, the tool reference pages, the request and action
records, the fine-grained table, the token footprint, the testing
reference and the llms files) are regenerated once at its top. #1517
changes the same generated artifacts, so whichever of the two lands
second regenerates them. The one hand-written file both change is
`internal/tools/testdata/tools_meta.json`, in different tool entries,
and the top adds its declaration to
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths/sent_declarations.go`, which #1517
changes in other blocks.

…t rows of issue 1240 from GitLab's source (#1570)
Closes#1240 (third of three layers).
Issue 1240 lists 65 request parameters that GitLab's API pages mark for
a paid tier while a lower tier's schema offers them. The two layers
below built the declaration table in `cmd/audit_edition_tier` and
answered the 30 group, member, LDAP link and group variable rows. This
layer reads the last 35, on the issue, merge request, notification
settings, push mirror and project pages, against GitLab's Grape params
and services at v19.5.0-ee, and gives each one an answer: a tier tag, a
description, a declaration with the reason, or, where no tier honors the
parameter at all, its removal from the input.
## What changes
Twenty-seven of the rows take a tier tag, so the tier filter prunes them
from the lower tiers' schemas, because GitLab drops or refuses them
below their tier:
- `approver_ids` on `merge_request.list`, `list_global` and
`list_group`, Premium. Enterprise Edition applies the filter on every
tier, but it matches approval rules, which a project gets only through
routes refused without `merge_request_approvers`, so below Premium it
finds the rules left from a licensed time and `None` answers every merge
request.
- `new_epic` on the account-wide and group notification updates,
Premium: stored on every tier, but an epic exists only from Premium.
- On both project creates,
`external_authorization_classification_label`, `use_custom_template`,
`template_project_id` and `group_with_project_templates_id`, Premium; on
the update, the classification label,
`allow_pipeline_trigger_approve_deployment`,
`ci_restrict_pipeline_cancellation_role`, `issues_template` and
`merge_requests_template`, Premium, and
`prevent_merge_without_jira_issue`, Ultimate. The classification label,
the deployment approval, the cancellation role and the Jira requirement
are deleted by `filter_attributes_using_license!` unless the license
carries their feature, and the two description templates by
`verify_issuable_default_templates_attrs!` unless the project carries
`issuable_default_templates`; a custom template is used only where the
license carries `custom_project_templates`, and without it a
`template_project_id` is refused.
- The pull mirror settings, Premium: `mirror` and
`mirror_trigger_builds` on both creates, and on the update those two,
`mirror_user_id`, `only_mirror_protected_branches`,
`mirror_overwrites_diverged_branches` and, unmarked by the page,
`mirror_branch_regex` and `import_url`. Each needs `admin_mirror`, which
needs the `repository_mirrors` feature: on a create,
`EE::Projects::CreateService#setup_pull_mirroring` applies `mirror` and
`mirror_trigger_builds` only for a caller who has it, and on the update
`verify_mirror_attrs!` deletes every pull mirror attribute from a caller
who has not. `repository_mirrors` is also a registration feature, so a
Free self-managed Enterprise Edition instance with Service Ping and
registration features turned on honors every one of these. The tags
follow its license tier all the same, as the pull mirror actions beside
them (`project.pull_mirror_get`, `pull_mirror_configure` and
`start_mirroring`), the group wiki and the group webhooks already do
here. `auto_duo_code_review_enabled` below is answered the other way
because it follows the group Duo settings, which the layer below kept on
every tier with a description, since a Free group with GitLab Credits
keeps them on GitLab.com.
Three parameters stop being offered on any tier, because GitLab honors
them on none:
- `new_epic` on a project's notification update. The page documents the
group and project updates in one table, and only the group's declares
the flag (`EE::NotificationSetting::EMAIL_EVENTS_MAPPING`), so Grape
dropped it from every project update. The flag moved out of the events
the three inputs share into an `epicEvent` only the account-wide and
group inputs embed.
- `repository_checksum_failed` and `wiki_checksum_failed` on the five
project lists. Four of their routes declare both and nothing reads them,
so a list asked for the failed checksums answered every project; a
user's contributed projects declare neither, nor any list filter but
`order_by`, `sort` and `simple`, so Grape dropped both there.
The struct audit's `acceptedMissingInputs` records why those inputs
leave out fields client-go's options carry.
Two rows keep the parameter on every tier with a description that says
which part needs the tier:
- `assignee_ids` on `issue.create`: every tier takes it, and below
Premium, on an unlicensed instance or a Free GitLab.com namespace,
GitLab keeps only the first assignee
(`IssuableBaseService#filter_assignees_using_checks`; on GitLab.com the
namespace's plan decides). `issue.update` goes through the same filter
and says the same.
- `auto_duo_code_review_enabled` on `project.update`: kept where Duo
code review is available to the project, which needs a Premium license
(not the Ultimate the row says) with GitLab Duo, or, on GitLab.com, a
Free group with GitLab Credits, so a tag would take it from that group.
Three rows are not gated, and the declaration table records the source
line that says so: `mirror_branch_regex` on the push mirror create and
update, and `include_hidden` on `project.list`, which Enterprise Edition
applies on every tier, the latter for an administrator. Community
Edition drops both, as it drops every Enterprise Edition parameter,
which the tier model, where Free covers both editions, cannot tell
apart.
The upstream register gains row 142 for the rows where GitLab's page
disagrees with its code, across the whole issue, and the contributor
page of the command says how a parameter no tier honors is answered. A
documentation merge request for the rows the source settles is drafted
and not sent; the rows where Enterprise Edition applies a parameter its
page sells as Premium are a question for GitLab before they are a merge
request.
## How I tested it
The tests came first, and each failed on the parent.

A new CE scenario,

an issue for two project members on every surface of an unlicensed

the top of the stack, and CLAUDE.md and the repository map now count it
among the seven files of the CE package. The other rows rest on what a
Free Enterprise Edition instance does, which no Docker instance of the

only struct tags change, in `cmd/audit_edition_tier` and
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/structs` only declaration data, and in
`internal/tools` only tests, so their condition and mutant records are

…ition tier stack (#1571)
Refs #1280
Refs #1240
This is the top of the access level and edition tier stack. The four
layers below it, the access levels of #1280 and the three layers that
answer #1240, regenerate nothing under the freshness deferral, and this
layer regenerates once every committed artifact they move. It adds no
behavior of its own: one commit, the regeneration and the R-PATH
declaration that can only land with it.
The stack sits on `main` at `6c9066aef`, onto which I rebased it on 28
October 2026, layer by layer and in order. Every commit is signed and
carries a `Signed-off-by` trailer. The five files the layers add carry
the copyright and license header of #1563, written by `make
fix-file-headers` into the commit that adds each one. `main` took row
140 of the upstream register for gobco, so the two rows the layers add
are 141 and 142. The regeneration was made again on the rebased tree
rather than rebased.
## The regeneration
The layers changed the surface every generated artifact describes. The
access level parameters publish the levels each route accepts as integer
enums, the group access request approval reads the group and the
requester for a Minimal access approval, and the group, member, LDAP
link, group variable, issue, merge request, notification and project
parameters are tier tagged or described by tier.
- The tool snapshots of the individual surface and of the opaque,
compact and full meta schemas, which change on the tools those
parameters reach (`gitlab_access`, `gitlab_group`, `gitlab_member_role`
and `gitlab_project` on the opaque meta surface; `gitlab_admin`,
`gitlab_ci_variable`, `gitlab_issue` and `gitlab_user` as well on the
full one).
- The per-domain tool reference of the access, admin, ci-variable,
group, issue, member-role, merge-request, project and user groups, in
English and Spanish, the four llms files, the token footprint with the
README block it writes, and the testing reference, refreshed with
`-skip-coverage`.
- The action request record and the fine-grained table, which gain the
two optional reads of `access.approve_group` (`GET /groups/:id` and `GET
/groups/:id/members/:user_id`), and the fine-grained permissions
reference that prints them.
- The request inventory, recorded again on the whole unit suite with the
freshness checks on and merged: it gains those two reads and the
`new_epic` flag a group notification settings update now sends, and
nothing else moves.
The site stats, the brand assets, the manifests, the model evaluation
pages, the charts and the e2e coverage page regenerate unchanged, and a
second run of every generator over the committed result changes nothing.
## The R-PATH declaration
R-PATH reads the group the approval fetches as a `GroupDetail` the
package never publishes. I declared it beside the LDAP link listing's
existence probe, as a read the package makes for its own use: it is sent
only when `access.approve_group` is asked for `access_level` 5 on a
licensed session, reads `parent_id` alone to refuse the approval on a
subgroup before it is sent, and returns nothing of the answer. The
declaration lands here because only this commit's inventory holds the
read, and a declaration that answers nothing fails the audit.
## How I tested it
With the freshness checks on, on this head: `go test ./... -count=1`
passes (301 packages), `make analyze` passes every step (markdownlint,
which needs Node, and the file header check, which reads git's file
list, run locally on the same tree), every check the "Generated
artifacts" job of CI runs passes, among them `check-tool-reference`,
`check-llms`, `check-footprint`, `check-site-stats`,
`check-testing-docs`, `check-request-inventory`, `check-file-headers`,
`audit-1to1-paths`, `check-action-grants`,
`check-action-grants-derivation`, `audit-1to1-grants`,
`check-e2e-static` and `check-tenancy`, as do `check-server-json`,
`check-server-json-packages` and `check-openplugin`, `make check-dco`
passes on every commit of the stack, `make test-e2e-http` (780 tests, 8
of them skipped for want of Docker on the runner) and `make
test-e2e-stdio` (277 tests) pass, and the e2e packages compile. The site
passes `i18n:check`, `facts:check`, `chips:check`, `llms:check`, `build`
and `lint`, and `node scripts/check-doc-links.mjs` passes.
Against Docker GitLab 19.5.0 both complete runs passed with the skip
gate on, on this stack as it stood on `e3e09d290` before the rebase:
`make test-e2e-ce` ran 1321 tests with no failure and one skip, the
declared opt-in throttle probe; `make test-e2e-ee`, licensed, ran 1650
tests with no failure and no skip. The scenarios the layers added passed
on all three surfaces: on CE, the Minimal access approval refused on the
Free tier, a level the route does not grant refused with the request
still pending, an Owner-level project access token granted to an Owner's
token, and an issue created for two assignees keeping only the first; on
EE, the same refusal and token, the Minimal access approval refused on a
subgroup and granted on a licensed top-level group, and an instance
custom role on an Owner base refused. I did not run them again after the
rebase. What `main` brought in between does not reach those scenarios'
requests: the header lines are comments, the plain HTTP listener check
of #1561 is read only by an HTTP listener while the suite drives the
binary over stdio, the Orbit fixtures moved for the GitLab.com suite,
the Bitbucket fixture's image moved to 10.5 for the import coverage
behind its own profile, and of the dependency updates of #1564 the
binary links `golang.org/x/net`, whose IDNA package `internal/gitlab`
uses, and the gRPC modules of the OTLP exporter, which runs only with
telemetry turned on; the unit suite and both transport suites above run
on them.
## #1517#1517 is open, and the maintainer has asked for changes before merging
it. This stack leaves to it everything it does or was asked to do: the
offset paging of the merge request diffs in `mr_review.changes_get`, the
page walk of the inline comment pre-check under RQB-013 with its check
of the position's SHAs against the merge request's `diff_refs`, and the
curated text, request declarations and test moves the review asked for;
nothing here touches `mrchanges`, `mrdiscussions`, `mrdraftnotes`,
`internal/toolutil/diff_position.go` or the tenancy register. Its unused
`order_by`, `sort`, `pagination` and `page_token` are #1530 and the
pre-check's `position_type` is #1531, both after #1517. Two hand-written
files are changed by both, in different blocks, so a rebase of either is
mechanical: `cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths/sent_declarations.go`, where
this stack adds the access request probe to the existence probes and its
reason after the LDAP one while #1517 adds the merge request rows to the
position pre-check block and their reason, and the
`internal/tools/testdata/tools_meta.json` golden, where this stack
changes the `gitlab_access`, `gitlab_group`, `gitlab_member_role` and
`gitlab_project` entries and #1517 the `gitlab_mr_review` one. Both
change generated files: `tools_individual.json`,
`tools_meta_compact.json` and `tools_meta_full.json`,
`docs/development/request-inventory.json`,
`docs/development/action-requests.json`,
`internal/tools/actiongrants/table_gen.go`,
`docs/development/token-footprint.md` and
`site/src/data/token-footprint.json` with the README token block,
`docs/development/testing/testing.md`, `llms-full.txt`,
`llms-full-individual-tools.txt` and `llms-full-meta-tools.txt`.
Whichever of #1517 and this stack lands second regenerates those files
on top of the other, together with the `mr-review` tool reference, which
only #1517 changes and this stack regenerates unchanged.

…ists, and publish the eight sort orders they document (#1573)
Refs #1165
This is the bottom layer of the first #1165 stack. It classifies every
action that publishes `page_token` by what GitLab 19.5.0 does with a
keyset request on its route, and it changes the two service account
token lists, the two routes where GitLab answers every keyset request
with 405, which the issue's 2026-10-10 decision covers. On those two
lists it removes the keyset input and an `order_by` GitLab never reads,
and it publishes the eight sort orders the routes document in place of
the `asc` and `desc` they could not use.
## The classification
I read every route at `v19.5.0-ee` of GitLab's own source. Each action's
routes come from `docs/development/action-requests.json`, each route was
matched to its Grape `get`, and the endpoint body or the helper it calls
was read for its paginator: offset `paginate` never reads `pagination`;
`paginate_with_strategies` takes keyset with `CursorPager` (cursor
`cursor`) when the relation's class has the requested ordering among its
`supported_keyset_orderings`, falls back to `Gitlab::Pagination::Keyset`
(Project ordered by `id` alone, `id_after`/`id_before`), and otherwise
answers `405 Keyset pagination is not yet available for this type of
request`; `GitalyKeysetPager` serves branches, tags, the tree and,
behind a flag, commits by `page_token`.
`page_token` is published by 202 individual tools, which carry 204
actions (`gitlab_commit_list` serves `repository.commit_list` and
`repository.file_history`, and `gitlab_issue_list_group` serves
`group.issues` and `issue.list_group`).
| Class | Actions | What GitLab does with `pagination=keyset` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| follows keyset | 13 | pages by keyset for every ordering the action
can send |
| 405 by ordering | 5 | pages by keyset for some orderings and answers
405 for the rest |
| 405 always | 2 | answers 405 whatever the request |
| keyset not followed | 1 | answers 405 with the default ordering and,
ordered by `id`, serves a keyset page but never applies the position its
own next link names |
| ignored | 183 | never reads it: 177 routes page by offset `paginate`,
6 are unpaginated or a single object |
The 13 that follow keyset are the three audit event lists (`cursor`),
`branch.list`, `tag.list` and `repository.tree` (`page_token`),
`issue.list` (`cursor`), `package.registry_tag_list` (`last`),
`runner.jobs`, `user.list`, `user.list_service_accounts` and the group
and project service account lists (`cursor`). Two of them carry a
condition: `branch.list` with `search` or `regex` uses the legacy
finder, where keyset needs `branch_list_keyset_pagination` (off by
default) and is ignored, and on `issue.list` an `order_by` outside the
Issue keyset orderings makes GitLab delete `pagination` and answer
offset.
The 5 refused by ordering are `project.list`, `project.list_forks`,
`project.list_user_projects` and `project.list_user_starred`, which
follow keyset only with `order_by=id` (the default is `created_at`, so a
keyset request that leaves `order_by` out is refused), and
`job.list_project`, which follows keyset only ordered by `id`, its
default.
The 2 refused always are `group.service_account_pat_list` and
`project.service_account_pat_list`: `paginate_with_strategies` over a
PersonalAccessToken relation, a class with no keyset ordering that is
not a Project.
The one not followed is `project.list_user_contributed`. Its route
reaches the same paginator as the other project lists, so a keyset
request with the default `created_at` ordering is answered with 405 as
theirs is. With `order_by=id` it is served a keyset page, but the route
builds `ContributedProjectsFinder` with no params
(`lib/api/projects.rb:396`), so the `id_after` or `id_before` its next
link names is never applied and every keyset page is the first one
again. That is the upstream bug register's row 112, and
`project.list_user_contributed` already refuses `pagination` and
`page_token` before any request, so no caller reaches either answer. By
the issue's decision its keyset input should not be offered either. It
shares `userProjectFilterInput` with the two user project lists that do
follow keyset, so removing it means splitting that input in
`internal/tools/projects/projects.go`. I left it to the layer of the
second #1165 stack that removes the keyset input from every list that
cannot use it: that layer changes the file anyway, and it holds this
action to the same rule as the lists GitLab pages by offset.
The table agrees with the 20 `toolutil.KeysetContinuation` call sites.
The 18 actions that follow keyset or are refused by ordering pass it, in
17 sites: one, in `listUserScopedProjects`, serves both
`project.list_user_projects` and `project.list_user_starred`.
`project.list_user_contributed` calls the same helper but refuses keyset
before reaching it, and the two refused always pass none. The other
three sites sit on routes classed ignored. Two of those are dead:
`group.ssh_cert_list` and `project.upload_list` page by offset
`paginate`. The third is not: `repository.commit_list` and
`repository.file_history` follow keyset by `page_token` when
`commits_keyset_pagination` is on, a GitLab.com rollout flag that is off
by default on 19.5.0, so that site has to stay when the offset lists
lose their keyset input.
Three routes behave differently from what I expected before reading
them. Every `order_by` that `/users` declares is a User keyset ordering,
so the users list refuses none. Project issues fall back to offset
rather than answering 405. The audit event lists send no ordering, and
their routes declare none. So the only ordering refusals a caller can
reach are the four project lists above and project jobs.

</details>
The other 183 actions, the ones GitLab pages by offset or not at all,
are listed with their routes in the pull request that removes their
keyset input, since that is where the list is acted on.
`mr_review.changes_get` is classified like the rest (ignored:
`lib/api/merge_requests.rb:719` pages the diffs by offset) and its code
is left alone here: #1517 changes that handler and pages its diffs by
offset, and the unused `order_by`, `sort`, `pagination` and `page_token`
on its input are #1530.
## What changed
`ListPATInput` in `internal/tools/groupserviceaccounts` and
`internal/tools/projectserviceaccounts` now embeds `PaginationInput`
alone, has no `order_by`, and `ListPATs` passes a zero
`KeysetPaginationInput` to `ApplyListOptions`, as the offset-only lists
do. On these routes `pagination=keyset` is answered with 405,
`page_token` without it is ignored by the offset paginator, which reads
`page` and `per_page` alone, and `order_by` is declared by neither
route, so the token finder, which is handed the declared params alone
and orders by `sort`, never saw it. A caller that sends any of the three
is now told the field is unknown before any request is made, and the
published schema of both actions offers `page` and `per_page` and none
of them.
R-INPUT now sees three fields of client-go's `ListOptions` missing from
each input, so I answered them in `acceptedMissingInputs` with one
reason naming the two routes, the paginator, the 405 and the undeclared
`order_by`.
Both lists also published `sort` with the `asc` and `desc` enum the
catalog gives every sort parameter. These routes take a named order, and
document eight: `created_asc`, `created_desc`, `expires_asc`,
`expires_desc`, `last_used_asc`, `last_used_desc`, `name_asc` and
`name_desc` (`access_token_params` in
`lib/api/helpers/personal_access_tokens_helpers.rb`).
`PersonalAccessTokensFinder` sorts by a key of
`PersonalAccessToken.simple_sorts` and leaves the tokens unsorted for
any other value, and `asc` and `desc` are not keys, so the schema
refused every order GitLab applies and admitted only two values it
ignores. The `pat_list` action of each package now overrides the enum
with the eight documented orders, as the three access token lists
already do, and the description names them. That is its own commit,
since it is not about keyset.
`simple_sorts` holds nine more keys, which `PersonalAccessToken`
inherits from `Sortable` and the routes do not document: `id_asc`,
`id_desc`, `created_at_asc`, `created_at_desc`, `created_date`,
`updated_asc`, `updated_desc`, `updated_at_asc` and `updated_at_desc`.
GitLab applies them, and the example request on both documentation pages
sends `sort=id_desc`, a value outside the list printed above it. I kept
the enum to the documented eight, as the access token lists do, said so
in the comment beside it, and recorded the mismatch in the upstream bug
register as row 143, a documentation fix to propose upstream. If we
would rather publish what GitLab applies, the enum can take all
seventeen; R-ENUM cannot tell the two apart, since client-go models the
field as a `*string`.
## How I tested it
I wrote and measured this layer on `e3e09d290` and then rebased the
stack twice: onto `main` at `6c9066aef`, after the OpenSSF Best
Practices stack, and onto `main` at `56758fb71`, after the access level
and edition tier stack (#1567 to #1571). The rebases changed one thing
in this layer, the number of its row in the upstream bug register:
`main` had taken row 140 for gobco, and then row 141 for the custom role
and broadcast message pages and row 142 for the API pages' tier markers,
so the token list row is 143, in the register and in the comment beside
each enum. In the Go files this layer touches, `main` changed the
copyright and SPDX header at their top and, in
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/structs/analyze.go`, added three R-INPUT
answers of its own (the notification `new_epic` and the two project
checksum filters) away from the six this layer adds, which merged
without a conflict. What I ran again after the rebases is at the end of
this section.
Tests first. On `e3e09d290`,
`TestListPATs_KeysetArgument_IsRefusedBeforeAnyRequest` and
`TestListPATInput_Schema_OffersOffsetPaginationOnly`, in each package,
failed for every one of the three fields: the route sent the request to
a mock that forbids any (`mock API was called 1 time(s); the test
forbids any request`) and the schema offered the field (`schema offers
order_by = true, want false`).
`TestActionSpecs_TokenSortEnum_NamesTheEightDocumentedOrders`, in each
package, failed with `pat_list sort enum = [asc desc], want [created_asc
created_desc expires_asc expires_desc last_used_asc last_used_desc
name_asc name_desc]`. All of them pass on this head. The existing keyset
case of the group token list test now checks offset pagination instead,
the project one no longer sends the keyset fields or `order_by`, and the
group one sends `created_desc` rather than `desc`.
On the layer's head before the rebases, with
`GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred` since it is below the stack's
top:
- `go test ./... -count=1`: all 294 packages pass.
- `groupserviceaccounts`, `projectserviceaccounts` and
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/structs`: 100% statement coverage; condition
coverage 158/158, 210/210 and 426/426; mutants Killed 75, 92 and 198,
with Lived 0, Not covered 0 and Timed out 0 in all three.
- `go run ./cmd/audit_1to1/ -gaps-only`: the backlog is byte for byte
the one on `e3e09d290` (20 missing inputs, 0 stale declarations), so the
six new answers are each used and no finding is new. `make audit-1to1`
passes.
- `golangci-lint run --build-tags e2e` and `golangci-lint fmt --diff` on
the three packages, `go test -tags e2e -c ./test/e2e/gitlab/...`, and
`make check-e2e-static`, `check-test-file-names`, `check-test-subtests`,
`check-test-goroutines`, `check-action-ids`, `check-gateway-chars`,
`check-dead-consts`, `check-meta-descriptions`, `check-surface-quality`,
`check-tenancy`, `check-doc-tool-names`, `check-md-tables`,
`check-md-escaping`, `check-sdk-context` and `audit-catalog-first`: all
pass.
- `docs/development/upstream-bugs.md`, for the token list row:
markdownlint and `node scripts/check-doc-links.mjs` pass.
With the comparison checked, `TestToolSnapshots_Individual` and the
compact and full cases of `TestToolSnapshots_MetaParamSchemaModes`
report exactly the two token list tools and the `gitlab_group` and
`gitlab_project` schemas that carry them, which is the regeneration the
top does. The curated `tools_meta.json` does not change.
No catalog action is added or removed, and the e2e scenarios of both
token lists send neither keyset field, `order_by` nor `sort`, so no
scenario changes and no Docker run was made for this layer.
After the second rebase, on this head:
`GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred go test ./... -count=1` passes
(301 packages), `golangci-lint run --build-tags e2e` and `golangci-lint
fmt --diff` pass on the three packages, the e2e packages compile, and
every gate of the list above passes again, `make audit-1to1` included.
`go run ./cmd/audit_1to1/ -gaps-only` writes a backlog byte for byte the
one `main` writes at `56758fb71`, which is the one it wrote at
`6c9066aef` (20 missing inputs, 0 stale declarations). `make
check-file-headers` and `make check-dco` against `main` pass.
Markdownlint and `node scripts/check-doc-links.mjs` pass at the top of
the stack, which holds the register as it is here. I did not measure
coverage, conditions or mutants again: the rebases changed no statement
this layer wrote in the three packages, only the comment that names the
register row and the header lines at their top.
## What is left for the top of the stack
This layer regenerates no committed artifact, under the freshness
deferral. The top regenerates the tool snapshots, the per-domain tool
reference in both languages, the token footprint, the llms files, the
request inventory and the testing reference once. #1517 regenerates some
of the same files (the tool snapshots, the request inventory, the token
footprint, the testing reference and the llms files), so whichever of
the two lands second regenerates them again. The two share no
hand-written file.

…en to them in R-PAGE (#1574)
Refs #1165
This is the second layer of the first #1165 stack, the keyset oracle the
plan's question 27 settled on and the rule that reads it. The live
GitLab record (`docs/development/gitlab-api-live.json`, written by
`cmd/gen_api_live`) now says, for every route, where the code it reaches
calls one of GitLab's keyset paginators and which parameter its next
page is asked by, and it is re-recorded on 19.5.0 at schema version 5.
R-PAGE reads it: it holds every action's `page_token` to the routes the
action sends, and every list GitLab can page by keyset to the
`next_page_token` it is followed by. Nothing in the record could give
that answer before, because GitLab reads `pagination=keyset` without
declaring it: of the 53 routes whose code reaches a keyset paginator at
`v19.5.0-ee`, four declare `pagination` and 22 declare no cursor either.
## What the record says now
Each route whose code reaches a keyset paginator carries a `keyset`
list, one entry per place its code calls one. An entry names the
paginator, the file and line of the call with the line quoted, the
helpers the walk went through to reach it (`present_projects`,
`render_work_items_collection_for`), the parameters the next page is
asked by, and the feature flags the call is behind with their defaults.
A route without `keyset` reaches no keyset paginator, so GitLab answers
it with an offset page whatever `pagination` says; in schema 4 the same
absence meant "not recorded", which is why the version moved, the same
inversion every earlier bump guarded against.
A site says where GitLab can serve a keyset page, not that it does.
`paginate_with_strategies` picks `CursorPager` or `Keyset::Pager` by the
model of the relation it is handed and answers 405 to a model and order
it does not support, and the walk reads code, not the relation a request
builds. So a `paginate_with_strategies` site carries `CursorPager`'s
`cursor` unless the call passes `use_cursor: false`, which assumes a
model with keyset orderings. The two service account token lists page
`PersonalAccessToken`, which declares none: the record gives them
`cursor`, and GitLab answers every keyset request there with 405 and
never reads it. The comments of the field, of `apilive.KeysetSite` and
of the script say so, and R-PAGE declares those routes rather than
trusting the site (below).
The five paginators the walk recognizes are `paginate_with_strategies`,
`GitalyKeysetPager`, a finder executed with `gitaly_pagination: true`
(the internal Orbit commit list), a route writing its own next link or
cursor headers through `Gitlab::Pagination::Keyset::HeaderBuilder` (the
instance audit events, the registry tags, the work item discussions),
and `keyset_paginate` (the work item discussion notes and the MLflow
searches).
The record also carries `keyset_paginators`, which parameter each of
GitLab's library paginators names in its next link. I did not copy those
names into the script: it has `CursorPager`, `Keyset::Pager` and
`GitalyKeysetPager` each write a next link through the method GitLab
calls after serving a page, and reads the parameter back (`cursor`,
`id_after` and `id_before`, `page_token`, and `cursor` for the
`X-NEXT-CURSOR` header). A release that renames one changes the record
rather than leaving it wrong. The source block counts the keyset routes,
and the gate holds the count to the content like the other figures.
## How the walk works
`introspect.rb` takes each route's block from the endpoint Grape built,
compiles the helpers it is served with the way Grape does when it mounts
the endpoint (a runner never mounts one), and reads the instruction
sequence of the block and of every helper of GitLab's own it calls on
the endpoint, following `super` into the CE method an EE module
overrides. It records a site at a call to one of the paginators above;
the cursor of `paginate_with_strategies` is `CursorPager`'s unless the
call passes `use_cursor: false`, the cursor of a route's own next link
is the key of the hash it hands the builder, and the cursor of
`keyset_paginate` is the param it is handed. A feature flag is recorded
on the sites it guards when it is tested as `if Feature.enabled?(:flag)`
or `unless Feature.disabled?(:flag)`, which reads unambiguously from the
branch instructions; that is how the commit list comes out behind
`commits_keyset_pagination`, shipped off. The walk takes about forty
seconds inside the container.
The walk follows calls on the endpoint, never calls on a finder or a
service, so a route a service pages by keyset on its own would read as
paged by offset. That is what the new gate rule is for: a route
declaring a parameter the record knows as a cursor is one that says it
pages by keyset in its own words, and if it records no site, or no site
asked by that parameter, the walk and GitLab disagree. All 31 routes
that declare a cursor at 19.5.0 carry a site asked by it.
## What the gate refuses
`make check-api-live`, and the generator before it writes, refuse a
version 5 record without `keyset_paginators` (what a version 4 script
labeled 5 produces), one below a floor of 35 keyset routes, a site
naming a paginator nothing reads, a site with no file and line or no
cursor, a probe naming no parameter or one nothing reads, and a route
declaring a cursor the record does not follow. A passing run prints one
more line, how many routes reach a keyset paginator and how many only
behind a flag GitLab ships off.
## The re-record
I booted `gitlab/gitlab-ee:19.5.0-ee.0` alone on the remote Docker host,
the digest the record already names
(`sha256:f04c71f565601283971d6472dd466609f4679450526f39aab3e3dcd6d23dc0ec`),
with `go run ./cmd/gen_api_live/ -image gitlab/gitlab-ee:19.5.0-ee.0`.
Apart from the keyset half, the note, the schema version and the
provenance, the record is what it was: entities, routes, features and
both fine-grained halves compare equal under `jq -S`, and the source
figures are unchanged.
The record marks 53 routes. Of the routes this server's actions send, it
marks every one the first layer's classification found paging by keyset
or refusing it (the 13 that follow it, the 5 refused by ordering, the 2
refused always and `project.list_user_contributed`). Each carries the
cursor the classification found, `last` on the registry tags and
`id_after`/`id_before` on the project lists included, except the two
service account token lists, which the classification found refusing
every keyset request and the record gives `CursorPager`'s `cursor`, for
the reason above. Two of the routes it marks are ones the classification
called ignored, and every other route it marks is one no action of ours
sends: the work item REST routes, the MLflow searches, the internal
Orbit routes, `GET /pipelines`, the package pipelines and the admin data
management list. Of the two, the commit list (`repository.commit_list`,
`repository.file_history`) reaches `GitalyKeysetPager` behind
`commits_keyset_pagination`, which the record says is off by default, so
it agrees with the classification on a default instance. `GET /groups`
reaches `paginate_with_strategies` only for an anonymous caller
(`present_groups_with_pagination_strategies` returns early for a
signed-in one); the record names the helper but not that condition,
since an early return is not a shape the walk reads, and this server
always signs in.
## R-PAGE reads it
R-PAGE asked whether a list says where it ends, and a keyset route
raised no finding by design, because the params could not say which
routes GitLab pages by keyset. Its new keyset half (`pagination.keyset`
in the report, `cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths/pagination_keyset.go`)
joins each action to the REST routes it sends through
`docs/development/action-requests.json`, so it judges at the action's
own grain, and reports four problems:
- `page-token-on-offset-route`: the action offers `page_token` and no
route it sends can be paged by keyset, so GitLab ignores the parameter
or refuses it.
- `keyset-route-without-page-token`: a read whose output is a list sends
a route GitLab can page by keyset and does not offer `page_token`.
- `keyset-route-without-next-page-token`: the action offers `page_token`
on a keyset route and its output carries no `next_page_token`.
- `keyset-route-never-followed`: the action offers `page_token` on a
keyset route and no package serving it (its owner, or the package of a
handler or site the request record names) was recorded sending the route
one of the parameters its next page is asked by. This one is at the
inventory's package grain, which the half's `grain` says.
A site behind a flag GitLab ships off counts as keyset: an instance that
turns the flag on, GitLab.com for the commit list, pages the route by
keyset, and the action's `page_token` is what reaches it there.
A route the record marks and GitLab serves this server no keyset page it
can follow is declared in a new category, `keyset-not-followable`
(`declaredKeysetRoutes` in `pagination_declarations.go`), each entry
with what GitLab's handler does at `v19.5.0-ee`, by file and line:
- `GET /groups`: only an anonymous request reaches the keyset branch
(`lib/api/groups.rb:171`).
- `GET /groups/:id/service_accounts/:user_id/personal_access_tokens` and
`GET /projects/:id/service_accounts/:user_id/personal_access_tokens`:
`PersonalAccessToken` has no keyset orderings, so every keyset request
is answered 405 (`lib/api/helpers/pagination_strategies.rb:30-43`).
- `GET /users/:user_id/contributed_projects`: the finder is built
without params, so the next link GitLab writes is never applied
(upstream-bugs row 112).
A declared route is held to as offset: an action offering `page_token`
on one is reported, with the route in its `not_followable`, and a list
sending one without `page_token` is declared. A declaration no finding
uses is stale and fails the gate, like every other declaration table of
R-PATH; the findings themselves report and do not gate, as the
collection half's do.
The route counts read the record's keyset field instead of the params:
`keyset_routes` goes from the 10 routes that declare `per_page` without
`page` to the 53 whose code reaches a keyset paginator, and a route can
count as offset as well. Against the committed record, 202 actions offer
`page_token`. 20 of them offer it on a keyset route, and every one
publishes `next_page_token` and was followed in the unit suite. 182
offer it on an offset route, which is exactly the first layer's
classification of ignored and keyset-not-followed actions without the
commit list. The three lists that send a keyset route without
`page_token`, `group.search` and the two token lists, are declared.
Taking `page_token` out of those 182 inputs is the next stack of #1165.
## Also in this layer
A second commit leaves `cmd/gen_api_live` with no mutant the mutation
run cannot judge. `runnerDetail` cut the runner's stderr under a length
test whose boundary is an equivalent mutant (at exactly the limit the
cut and the whole are the same text), and the two boot defaults
multiplied in package-level initializers, which no coverage profile
records. The tail is now cut with `max` and the defaults are parsed from
`"20m"` and `"10s"`; the values and the behavior are unchanged.
## How I tested it
I wrote and measured this layer on the first layer as it stood over
`e3e09d290`, and then rebased the stack twice: onto `main` at
`6c9066aef`, after the OpenSSF Best Practices stack, and onto `main` at
`56758fb71`, after the access level and edition tier stack (#1567 to
#1571). The rebases changed nothing in this layer's lines. In the Go and
Ruby files this layer touches, `main` changed only the copyright and
SPDX header at their top; what it changed in the `Makefile`,
`docs/development/cmd-utilities.md` and
`docs/development/request-paths.md` lies outside the lines this layer
edits there, and merged without a conflict. The six files this layer
adds (`keyset.go` and its test in `cmd/gen_api_live` and in
`cmd/internal/apilive`, `pagination_keyset.go` and its test in
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths`) now open with that header too, written
by `make fix-file-headers` into the commit that adds each. What I ran
again after the rebases is at the end of this section.
The three generator tests the plan asked for came first and were red on
the stack's first layer, `a35673d89` before the rebases, compiled
against it unchanged:
`TestRunGenerate_ARouteCarryingAKeysetPaginator_ComesOutMarked` (the
route came out with `keyset = <nil>`, and so did the probe and the
count),
`TestRunCheck_ARouteDeclaringACursorTheRecordDoesNotFollow_IsRefused`
and `TestRunCheck_AVersion4RecordLabeled5_IsRefused` (the parent refused
both records only as `schema version 5 and this build reads version 4`).
They edit the fixtures as JSON so they mean the same thing on a build
with no keyset field, and they pass on this branch. Every rule has a
case of its own in `TestKeysetProblems_EachRule_NamesWhatItRefuses`,
with the whole sentence asserted, the floor at its edge and the shapes
19.5.0 records held to pass. The order of the generator's refusals has a
case too: with the fine-grained and keyset refusals swapped, the second
case of
`TestRunGenerate_AKeysetSiteNothingReads_IsRefusedAfterTheFineGrainedHalf`
fails.
The R-PAGE cases read the keyset half as JSON, the way a reader of the
report does, and were red on the parent commit, `1ece15937` before the
rebases (`the pagination check carries no keyset half`, and the route
counts read off the params), compiled against it unchanged; the cases of
the declaration table are new code and could not compile there.
`TestRun_TheRealTree_PassesItsOwnGate` now also holds the summary's
keyset figures to the findings they count.
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths`, `cmd/gen_api_live`,
`cmd/internal/apilive` and `cmd/gen_action_grants/internal/join` are at
100% statement coverage, gobco reads 1114/1114, 254/254, 186/186 and
304/304 conditions, and `make coverage-mutants` reads Killed 564, 216,
102 and 156, with Lived 0 and Timed out 0 on all four and Not covered 0
on the last three. `cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths` also reports 483
mutants not covered, and every one is an `ARITHMETIC_BASE` on a `+`
between string literals in a package-level initializer, on a line this
layer does not change: the declaration tables of `sent_declarations.go`,
`shape_declarations.go`, `endpoint_declarations.go`,
`orbit_declarations.go` and `pagination_declarations.go`, a constant and
a map of `published.go`, and a regular expression of `endpoints.go`. A
`-` there does not compile, which is the tool artifact
`docs/development/testing/README.md` describes; the new declaration
table writes each reason as one literal for that reason, which took out
the 14 it would have added. Before the rebase, `make analyze` passed
every step but markdownlint, which could not start on the remote runner
(`npx: not found`), and the same markdownlint command passed when run
locally on the tree. `make check-api-live`, `make
check-action-grants-derivation`, `make check-action-grants`, `make
audit-1to1-grants`, `make audit-1to1-paths`, `make check-e2e-static`,
`make check-tenancy`, `make check-test-file-names` and `go run
./cmd/format_md_tables/ --check` passed on the head, `node
scripts/check-doc-links.mjs` passed,
`GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred go test ./... -count=1` passed
on the head (294 packages), and the e2e packages compiled.
After the second rebase, on this head:
`GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred go test ./... -count=1` passes
(301 packages), `golangci-lint run --build-tags e2e` and `golangci-lint
fmt --diff` pass on the four packages, the e2e packages compile, and
`make check-api-live`, `make check-action-grants-derivation`, `make
check-action-grants`, `make audit-1to1-grants`, `make audit-1to1-paths`,
`make check-e2e-static`, `make check-tenancy`, `make
check-test-file-names` and `make check-md-tables` pass. R-PAGE's figures
are the ones above: 53 keyset routes, 202 actions offering `page_token`,
20 of them on keyset routes, 182 on offset routes and 3 lists declared.
`make check-file-headers` and `make check-dco` against the first layer
pass. I did not measure coverage, conditions or mutants again, since the
rebases changed no statement of the four packages, and the SonarCloud
commit below changes only the Ruby script, which no Go coverage profile
reads.
## SonarCloud
SonarCloud reported three findings on `cmd/gen_api_live/introspect.rb`
in this pull request, and a fourth commit answers them without changing
what the script records:
- `rubydre:S7815`, a `raise` of a bare string in `next_link_of`: it now
raises `MissingNextLinkError`, a `StandardError` of its own, with the
same message.
- `rubydre:S3776`, `KeysetWalk#scan` at a cognitive complexity of 25
against 15: `scan` keeps the loop over a sequence and hands each
instruction to `scan_instruction`, which reads it in four steps of their
own (`open_guard`, `read_operand`, `read_flag_call` and `follow_call`),
and what it carried in locals from one instruction to the next is a
`ScanState`.
- `rubydre:S107`, `record_site` with ten parameters against seven: it
takes the `ScanState`, the call, the index and the flags.
The script only runs inside a booted GitLab, so I held the new walk to
the old one directly: a harness loads the keyset half of both versions
under one Ruby and walks a fixture whose methods reach every paginator
kind the walk recognizes, flag guards of both recorded shapes and the
shapes it leaves unrecorded (an early return, `if Feature.disabled?` and
`unless Feature.enabled?`), nested blocks, helpers, a call to `super`
and a recursive helper. Over five entry points both versions record the
same 35 sites in the same order, with the same `via`, cursors and flags,
and the probe fails with the same message. `go test ./cmd/gen_api_live/
./cmd/internal/apilive/` and `make check-api-live` pass, and the record
does not change, since it holds a digest of what the script answered and
not of the script.
On that commit SonarCloud then reported `rubydre:S131`, the `case` in
`scan` with no default branch. A fifth commit gives it one that reads
nothing, with a comment saying why: an instruction list holds line
numbers, labels and events, and instructions. The harness finds the same
35 sites and the same error, and the two checks above pass again.
## What the top of this stack does
The contributor documentation of schema 5 and of R-PAGE's keyset half
(the `gen_api_live` section and the R-PAGE paragraph of
`docs/development/cmd-utilities.md`, the `check-api-live` row of
`docs/development/static-analysis.md`, the R-PAGE paragraph of
`docs/development/request-paths.md` and its line in `CLAUDE.md`) and
`docs/development/testing/testing.md` are refreshed at the top of this
stack, with the rest of its regeneration. This layer regenerates no
committed artifact, so `go run ./cmd/gen_testing_docs/ --check` fails
here on the new tests, as the `FRESHNESS` deferral below a stack's top
expects.
## #1517
Nothing here overlaps #1517, which changes neither the record, its
generator nor R-PAGE, and no file of this layer is one #1517 changes.
The merge request diffs route it pages is one the record marks as
offset, as the review of #1517 expected, so R-PAGE reports
`mr_review.changes_get` among the 182 actions offering `page_token` on
an offset route; taking it out of that input is #1530, which waits for
#1517. Whichever of #1517 and this stack lands second regenerates the
artifacts both change.

…lists end to end, and regenerate the stack's artifacts (#1575)
Refs #1165
This is the top of the first #1165 stack. It documents what the two
layers below added, the keyset half of the live GitLab record at schema
5 and the keyset half of R-PAGE that reads it, adds the end-to-end
scenario for the two service account token lists the first layer
changed, and regenerates once every committed artifact the stack moves,
which the layers below leave stale under the freshness deferral.
## The documentation
The contributor pages described schema 4 and an R-PAGE that raises no
keyset finding by design. In `docs/development/cmd-utilities.md`, the
`gen_api_live` section now says what the walk records for each route
(the paginator, the file and line quoted, the helpers it went through,
the parameters the next page is asked by, the feature flags with their
defaults), why a site says where GitLab can serve a keyset page rather
than that it does, and what `-check` refuses of that half. The R-PAGE
paragraph reads `keyset_routes` off the record's `keyset` field (53
routes, 39 of them offset too) rather than off the params (the 10 that
declare `per_page` without `page`), and a new paragraph describes the
keyset half: its four problems and their two grains, the
`keyset-not-followable` declarations, and the figures against the
committed record (202 actions offering `page_token`, 20 of them on
keyset routes that publish `next_page_token` and were seen following it,
182 on routes GitLab pages by offset alone, three lists declared).
`docs/development/request-paths.md` says the same in its R-PAGE bullet,
`static-analysis.md` and the repository map in a line each, and the
R-PAGE clause of `CLAUDE.md` names the rule and nothing more.
On the site, the output format page, in English and Spanish, says that
the two service account token lists, where GitLab refuses every keyset
request, no longer take `pagination` or `page_token`, refuse either
before sending anything and page with `page`, and that the lists still
answering a keyset request with 405 are the ones given an order GitLab
cannot page by keyset.
## The end-to-end scenario
Nothing drove either token list against a real GitLab with a keyset
argument, or with a sort order at all. Two scenarios in
`test/e2e/gitlab/common/keyset_pagination_test.go`,
`TestKeysetPagination_GroupServiceAccountTokens_PageByOffsetAlone` and
`TestKeysetPagination_ProjectServiceAccountTokens_PageByOffsetAlone`,
give a service account three tokens named so they sort in the order they
were made, and on every surface:
- send `pagination: "keyset"`, `page_token` and `order_by`, each held to
a refusal made before any request: the SDK's on the individual surface,
whose schema admits no property it does not list, execute's `Unknown
params` on the dynamic surface, and the meta dispatcher's `unknown
field`;
- follow the list one token a page by page number in `name_asc` order,
holding every page to carry no `next_page_token` and to name the next
page while `has_more` holds;
- read it whole in `name_desc` order, so an order GitLab ignored, which
leaves the tokens unsorted, reads as a failure rather than as a listing.
Both were red on the parent: driving the server built from `e3e09d290`,
the base of the stack before it was rebased onto `main`, against CE
19.5.0, every surface failed at the first argument (8 tests, 8
failures), because that server still sends `pagination=keyset` and
GitLab answers it, `405 {error: Keyset pagination is not yet available
for this type of request}`: `refused as tool_error, and the test
expected invalid_params` on the individual surface and `the error does
not mention "unknown field \"pagination\""` on the other two. That run
was of the scenarios' first version, whose dynamic case expected the
meta wording; the complete CE run of this stack showed that execute
refuses the argument earlier, with `Unknown params: pagination.` and the
list of valid params, and the dynamic case now expects that. With the
final version, the red run on the parent fails again on every surface:
GitLab answers `405 {error: Keyset pagination is not yet available for
this type of request}` for both `group.service_account_pat_list` and
`project.service_account_pat_list`. On the stack's head before the
rebases, the green run of the two scenarios passes.
## The regeneration
One commit, with the comparison checked:
- the tool snapshots of the individual surface and of the compact and
full meta schemas, which change on exactly the two token list tools and
the `gitlab_group` and `gitlab_project` schemas that carry them
(`pagination`, `page_token` and `order_by` gone, `sort` naming the eight
documented orders); the curated `tools_meta.json` does not change;
- the per-domain tool reference of the group and project groups, in
English and Spanish, the three llms files, the token footprint with the
README block it writes, and the testing reference, refreshed with
`-skip-coverage`;
- the request inventory, recorded again on the whole unit suite and
merged: the two token routes are no longer recorded sending `order_by`,
`page_token` or `pagination`, and the group one is now recorded sending
`page` and `per_page`.
The action request record and the fine-grained table, the site stats,
the brand assets, the manifests and the e2e coverage page regenerate
unchanged.
## How I tested it
The stack was written on `e3e09d290` and rebased twice: onto `main` at
`6c9066aef`, after the OpenSSF Best Practices stack, and onto `main` at
`56758fb71`, after the access level and edition tier stack (#1567 to
#1571). In this layer's two hand-written commits the first rebase
changed one place: `main` added rows to the pipe table of
`docs/development/static-analysis.md` and padded it again, so I took
`main`'s table, put this layer's sentence back into the `check-api-live`
row and ran `go run ./cmd/format_md_tables/`. The second changed nothing
in them: what `main` changed in `CLAUDE.md`,
`docs/development/cmd-utilities.md` and
`docs/development/repository-map.md` lies outside the lines this layer
edits there, and merged without a conflict. Both times the regeneration
commit was not carried over: I dropped it and regenerated every artifact
on the rebased tree. It changes the same 15 files as before. The tool
snapshots, the tool reference, the llms files and the request inventory,
recorded again on the whole rebased unit suite, change line for line as
they did on the old base. The token footprint with its README block and
the testing reference move by the same amounts from `main`'s new
figures: 225 fewer tokens on each tier's individual surface, and 37 more
test functions and three more test files under `cmd/`, the stack's own
tests.
With the freshness checks on, on this head after the second rebase: `go
test ./... -count=1` passes (301 packages), and again with
`GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred`. `make analyze` passes 30 of
its 32 steps on the remote runner, and the other two pass locally on the
same tree: markdownlint (step 6, which needs Node) and the copyright and
license headers (step 32, which reads git's file list). Every check the
"Generated artifacts" job of CI runs passes, among them
`check-tool-reference`, `check-llms`, `check-footprint`,
`check-site-stats`, `check-testing-docs`, `check-request-inventory`,
`check-api-live`, `audit-1to1-paths`, `check-action-grants`,
`check-e2e-static`, `check-tenancy` and `check-file-headers`, with
`check-openplugin` and `check-server-json-packages` run locally since
they need the network. `make check-dco` passes for the ten commits of
the stack (the tenth is the second layer's answer to SonarCloud's
`rubydre:S131`, which changes no recorded output). `make test-e2e-http`
(780 tests, 8 skipped because the runner has no Docker) and `make
test-e2e-stdio` (277 tests) pass, the e2e packages compile, and
`test/e2e/gitlab/common` passes `golangci-lint run` and `golangci-lint
fmt --diff`. The site passes `i18n:check`, `facts:check`, `chips:check`,
`llms:check`, `build` and `lint`, and `node scripts/check-doc-links.mjs`
passes.
Against Docker GitLab 19.5.0, the complete CE run (`make test-e2e-ce`
with the skip gate) ran on this stack before the dynamic case of the two
new scenarios was corrected: 1313 tests, and the only failures were
those two dynamic cases, for the wording above. Its skip gate also
failed on four skips, the Bitbucket Cloud and GitHub imports, because
that worktree had no `.env` with their credentials, which the next run
has. The correction touches only that test file. On the stack's head
before the rebases (`25b20c981`), with the skip gate on, the complete CE
run passes 1313 tests (1 skip, which is declared) and the complete EE
run passes 1642 tests (no skips).
I did not run the Docker suites again after the rebases. Since that run,
the server code this stack changes is the same apart from the comment
that names the register row (now 143) and the file headers, and the Ruby
script the second layer's SonarCloud commit splits, which only
`gen_api_live` runs, inside a GitLab it boots. What `main` brought that
those suites exercise is the dependency update of #1564
(`golang.org/x/net` 0.62.0, `google.golang.org/grpc` 1.85.0, `gqlparser`
2.5.64 and `tiktoken-go` 0.10.0 among them, client-go and the go-sdk
unchanged), the Bitbucket Server fixture moved from 9.6 to 10.5 with
basic authentication forced back on, which the import scenarios use, the
copyright and SPDX header in every source file, which is comments, and
the access level and edition tier stack: the access levels each write
offers, cut to what its route accepts, a pending access request no
longer reported as approved, the two checksum filters gone from the
project lists and `new_epic` from a project's notification settings, and
scenarios of its own in `accessrequests_test.go` and
`accesstokens_test.go`. The plaintext listener warning of #1561 is HTTP
mode only, and the e2e suites drive stdio. None of it touches the two
token lists, their packages or the scenarios this stack adds.
## #1517#1517 is open, and the maintainer has asked for changes before merging
it. This stack leaves to it everything it does or was asked to do: the
offset paging of the merge request diffs in `mr_review.changes_get`,
with the pagination block its output gains and without keyset
continuation, the page walk of the inline comment pre-check under
RQB-013 with its check of the position's SHAs, and the curated text,
request declarations and test moves the review asked for. R-PAGE
classifies `mr_review.changes_get` with the rest, among the 182 actions
offering `page_token` on an offset route, no declaration of it names
that action, and nothing here changes it. Its unused `order_by`, `sort`,
`pagination` and `page_token` are #1530 and the pre-check's
`position_type` is #1531, both after #1517. The two share no
hand-written file: this stack changes
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/structs/analyze.go`, the `groupserviceaccounts`
and `projectserviceaccounts` packages, R-PAGE in
`cmd/audit_1to1/internal/paths` (`analyze.go`, `pagination*.go`,
`shapes.go`) and the live record's generator, and #1517 changes
`sent_declarations.go` in the same package, the `mr*` packages,
`internal/toolutil/diff_position.go` and `internal/tenancy`, so a rebase
of either is mechanical. Both change generated files:
`internal/tools/testdata/tools_individual.json`,
`tools_meta_compact.json` and `tools_meta_full.json`,
`docs/development/request-inventory.json`,
`docs/development/token-footprint.md` and
`site/src/data/token-footprint.json` with the README token block,
`docs/development/testing/testing.md`, `llms-full.txt` and
`llms-full-individual-tools.txt`. Whichever of #1517 and this stack
lands second regenerates those files on top of the other, together with
the ones only #1517 changes and this stack regenerates unchanged
(`action-requests.json`, the fine-grained table, `tools_meta.json`,
`llms-full-meta-tools.txt` and the `mr-review` tool reference).

Thanks a lot for this, and for working through every point of the review so carefully; your reasoning for the second diff_refs read convinced me, so it stays.
To land it for 3.4.0 I carried it into #1584: your six commits are one commit there on today's main, with you as co-author (Co-authored-by:). They needed a Signed-off-by: for the DCO job, and adding one meant rewriting your branch, so I opened it from a branch of this repository instead. The conflicts were only generated files, which I regenerated. I'll close this pull request when #1584 merges.
On top I added the file header to the new test, put back the doc comment on why skipping the position check is safe, and gave the five prompts that read a merge request's changed files the same N of total treatment, since they read one page and counted it as the whole diff, and made an exclusion of mr_review.changes_get withhold suggest_mr_reviewers too.
Thanks as well for chasing the GPG fixture and the script suite on macOS, and for the i18n entrypoint that does nothing through a symlink; they're outside this PR, and I'll track them separately.
… toolutil declares (#1643)
Refs #1595
Refs #1603
This is layer A8 of the auditor stack (H7). The type grain of
`-scope=paths` now holds every compared type one level down in both
directions, and the R-OUTPUT field diff reads the converters
`internal/toolutil` declares. Nothing new gates: what reaches the gate
is still a declaration that answers nothing, now at either level.
## What it detects
The nested comparison compared 44 nested types, all of them under the 68
compared types no struct names: `publishedTypesIn` filled `Nested` only
for those, and a payload is named by its envelope, so the other 184
compared types, the merge request a list wraps among them, were never
held one level down. That is how `head_pipeline.name` stayed published
on every merge request although `API::Entities::Ci::Pipeline` sends no
name. The walk now records what every type nests: 294 nested types
compared. The package grain keeps reading one level down from a
top-level type, since it joins on names alone and a name two levels down
silenced nine of its findings.
The nested level now asks the reverse too
(`shapes.typed.nested_unsurfaced`): a key the entity under a property
sends that the nested type does not publish, read on the entity the
record's `using` names, key by key as the top level is, since two routes
of a type can render one property with two entities, with `sdk_models`
from the client-go struct under the same key (`OutputPairing.SDKNested`,
and the same on projections). Both declaration tables gain `Under`, and
a declaration answers a nested finding only when it names the property.
One nested type under one property of two types of a package is reported
once for each, so both finding lists now close their order on the
client-go struct and the endpoints each finding was judged against: four
runs of `-scope=paths` over this tree write the same bytes.
The R-OUTPUT diff reads `internal/toolutil` and reports it as a
`toolutil` entry. `toolutil.NewPipelineOutput` fills `head_pipeline` and
no domain package declares a converter of it, so a key client-go adds to
`gl.Pipeline` reached no finding. `CollectPairs` and
`CollectOutputPairings` are unchanged, so R-ENUM and the type grain do
not move; passing the shared pairs to R-ENUM is left unmeasured here.
## Witness tests
`TestTypedShapeCheck_Repository_HoldsTheHeadPipelineToThePipelineEntity`
(paths, real tree), red on the parent a81f7cd28, where its first
commit's version, the `name` half, copied in on its own fails with `no
nested finding for internal/tools/mergerequests head_pipeline.name, want
toolutil.PipelineOutput's name reported unpublished`, and the same for
`deploymentmergerequests`. Green here, with `head_pipeline.archived`
reported on both, read on `API::Entities::Ci::Pipeline`, sent always and
`sdk_models` false. The parent's report has no `nested_unsurfaced` and
names no `archived` for a merge request. The bump turns `sdk_models`
true, since `gl.Pipeline` models `archived` from v3.36.0.
`TestBuildReport_Repository_ReportsTheConvertersOfTheSharedShapes`
(structs, real tree), copied on its own into the parent, fails there
with `package "toolutil" not found in report` (the parent's report has
153 packages). Green here: a `toolutil` entry exists, and
`PipelineOutput` against `gl.Pipeline` carries the same keys in v3.30.0,
three of them with a type of its own (`detailed_status`, `source` and
`user`), which the bump turns into a missing `archived`.
`TestBuildReport_Repository_PairsTheConvertersTheSharedShapesDeclare`
checks that pair comes from the shared package's own converter, and
`TestCollectOutputPairings_Repository_ReadsTheStructsAMergeRequestNests`
pins `name` and no `archived` under `gl.MergeRequest`'s `head_pipeline`.
Fixtures cover each rule: a list's payload has its part judged; the
reverse is reported under its property and read on the entity that sends
the key, also where two routes, or two routes merged into one shape,
render the property with two entities; `sdk_models` reads the same
property only; a projection answers it from its struct; a declaration
with `Under` answers its finding, goes stale once the key is published,
and is held to its evidence like a top-level one; the summary counts the
nested level apart from the top; two types nesting one type report their
findings in one order; the package grain does not credit what an inner
type nests; and a stand-in `toolutil` converter of `gl.Part` reports
`archived` missing once a stand-in SDK adds it to `Part`, while the SDK
as it stands leaves the pair without a gap.
## Findings on main and how each is answered
`head_pipeline.name` and `head_pipeline.archived` on `mergerequests` and
`deploymentmergerequests` are the witness cases; `archived` is published
in the client-go bump stack, which models it.
The nested level reports 111 published keys GitLab does not send under
their property and 1085 keys it sends that the nested type does not
publish, 642 of them not modeled by client-go either. None gates, and
none is declared here: the design leaves the nested findings beyond
`archived` to B4 or to an issue, so they are listed by nested type in
the follow-up. `summary.typed_undeclared_fields` reads 111, all at the
nested level.
R-OUTPUT gains 42 output pairs with 29 missing and 20 extra fields and
17 type mismatches under `toolutil`, reported like the domain packages'
387 missing and 85 extra fields and 593 type mismatches, and one more
package with gaps (60, from 59). No declaration table goes stale.
## Checks
All green: `go test ./... -count=1` with
`GITLAB_MCP_TEST_SNAPSHOT_PARITY=deferred`, the audit_1to1 tests on each
commit, golangci-lint, markdownlint, the doc link check,
`format_md_tables --check`, `make check-test-file-names`, `make
check-em-dash` and `make check-pr-description`, and `make analyze` steps
2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 32 and 33, plus `-scope=sdk`, `-scope=structs` and
`-scope=enums`. Four runs of `-scope=paths` over the head write the same
bytes.
Statement coverage 100% in `paths` and `structs`; conditions 1060/1060
and 728/728 (gobco). Mutants: `structs` 279 killed, 0 lived, 0 not
covered (the 2 timed out are in `cross_call.go`, which this layer does
not touch); `paths`, limited to the files this layer changes, 286
killed, 0 lived, and 420 not covered, every one an `ARITHMETIC_BASE` `+`
in a package-level const or var initializer of `sent_declarations.go`
(331), `shape_declarations.go` (85) or `published.go` (4), which Go's
coverage does not instrument, and none on a changed line.
## Overlaps
#1584, which carried #1517 into main, added two entries to
`declaredUnsurfaced` for the merge request the two note packages read to
check an inline position. This layer adds the `Under` field and changes
no entry, so an entry without `Under` keeps its meaning, and the rebase
onto main was mechanical: the conflicts were the import block of a test
file and a comment of `shapes.go`, both of which #1574 had changed. No
`apilive` or `gen_api_live` file is touched.

Description
Inline comments on files beyond the first diff page were rejected locally as "not in the merge request diff".
changes_getalso returned one page without exposing how to continue.The position pre-check now searches for the requested old or new path one page at a time and stops at the first match. It retains no earlier pages. Discussion create and draft-note create/update share this lookup and preserve the requested body, position and SHAs.
Before trusting the listing, the helper reads the MR's
diff_refsand compares all three SHAs with the position. It reads them again after finding the file or finishing the listing. A changed, missing or unreadable snapshot, a listing error, cancellation, non-advancing pagination or an exhausted page budget makes the pre-check advisory: GitLab judges the original write. Only a complete, stable result can produce the existing informative local file/line error. A matching file with no available patch skips line validation.The walk is bounded by RQB-013 at 100 actual list calls of 100 files. A match or completed listing on call 100 is valid; call 101 is never sent. Reaching the bound adds no caller quota and does not reject the write.
changes_getpublishes pagination metadata in structured output and Markdown. Guidance describes offset continuation,next_page → page, withper_page: 100. The PR-added keyset request option and synthetic endpoint tests are removed. Existing input fields remain unchanged for the separate follow-up discussed in review.Related Issue

The macOS results remain recorded: the GPG fixture fails because its agent socket path is too long; the Python suite reports 163 failures, 4 errors and 9 skips across 471 tests. Investigation identified missing Bash/GNU-tool prerequisites, fixture path assumptions and pre-existing script portability defects. In particular, the i18n script can silently skip execution through a symlink on Linux too; the normal Linux suite does not exercise that invocation. All affected fixture/script sources are unchanged from the PR base. No portability fix, assertion weakening or CI-threshold change is included here.
The Linux reproduction is Debian/arm64, not the GitHub Ubuntu/amd64 runner, and does not replace CI for the published revision. No live GitLab write test was run.
RQB-013 validation

Existing stable-snapshot position errors remain unchanged.mergeRequestDiffPositionMaxPages = 100; 100 files per call.
