fix(release): attach provenance to the draft before the gate inspects it - #494
Conversation
The first release through the assurance stages (v0.28.0) reported two
pre-release gates as failed:
release-assets 22 of 23 expected release assets are attached
(multiple.intoto.jsonl -> not attached to the release)
release-provenance slsa-verifier could not verify the build provenance
Neither was a problem with the release. The provenance file was uploaded by
the `publish` job, in the same step that makes the release public, and the
pre-release checks run before that. They inspected a draft that was always
one file short and had no provenance to verify, so both gates failed on every
release by construction. With enforcement on, no release could have been
published.
The upload moves into its own job, `attach-provenance`, which runs before the
draft is verified. `publish` now only flips the draft to published. The new
job leaves an already-attached file alone, so it can be retried on its own.
The verification command itself had never run against a real provenance file
either, so it was run here against the published v0.28.0 assets, with the
same slsa-verifier version the workflow installs: both linux/amd64 archives
pass. With the file present when the gate looks, the two checks pass.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe release workflow now attaches provenance to the draft release before verification. Publishing depends on the attachment job and no longer uploads provenance. ChangesRelease provenance flow
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Provenance is now attached to the draft release before verification, which fixes the ordering problem. However, if an upload fails partway through, a retry can treat the leftover empty file as a successful attachment. The release could then ship without usable provenance, especially while checks run in report-only mode. Validate the asset state before merging.

- Line 269: Update the provenance asset lookup to treat only fully uploaded
assets as attached by checking the asset state, not just its filename. If the
matching asset is in the starter state, delete it before retrying the provenance
upload; preserve the existing behavior for completed assets.

The retry check in `attach-provenance` matched the provenance file by name. GitHub documents that an upload which fails partway can leave an empty asset behind in the "starter" state under that same name, so a retry would have found it, called it attached, and handed the pre-release gate a file with nothing in it -- and every retry after would have skipped it again. A match now has to be a finished upload with content. Anything else under that name is deleted and uploaded again. The decision was run against the real v0.28.0 asset list and three altered copies of it: a completed upload is left alone, a starter placeholder and an empty "uploaded" asset are removed and re-uploaded, and a missing file is uploaded. Also corrects the comment on the `provenance` job, which still said the `publish` job does the upload. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>

The first release through the assurance stages, v0.28.0, published a report with two pre-release gates failed (report, tracking issue #493):
release-assetsmultiple.intoto.jsonlmissingrelease-provenanceNeither was a problem with the release. The provenance file was uploaded by the
publishjob, in the same step that makes the release public. The pre-release checks run before that, so they inspected a draft that was always one file short and had nothing to verify. Both gates failed by construction.v0.28.0 only published because it ran with
RELEASE_ASSURANCE_ENFORCE=false. With enforcement on, no release could be published, so that variable must stayfalseuntil this merges.Fix
The upload moves into its own job,
attach-provenance, which runs beforeverify-draft.publishnow only flips the draft to published. The new job leaves an already-attached file alone, so it can be retried by itself.Verified
actionlintis clean.PASSED: SLSA verification passed.Not verifiable before the next release: the job ordering itself, since
verify-draftonly runs on a tag. The next release should again run report-only; enforcement can be turned on once its report shows these two checks passing.Not in this PR
The third failed gate in that report,
sbom-interoperability, is a real finding and a separate one: the merged SPDX export is rejected by the official validator for using SHA256 in external document references. It belongs inbomly-sdk.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
