The gate workflow carries its own push, pull-request and dispatch triggers
next to workflow_call, so the workflow list shows it once and its page lists
its runs. pester.yml, which only called it, is gone, and so are its entries in
the paths-ignore of ci.yml and codeql.yml. The workflow has no concurrency
group, because a workflow-level group would also bind the runs the publishers
call.

The gates were attached to publishing: they ran only as the first job of the
script publish. Holding that publish back with GitHub's skip-actions marker
dropped them together with CI, CodeQL and zizmor. The stable agent release
published the same scripts without them, the MSI build signed the loader
without them, and no gate page ever showed a run.
- pester.yml, shown as "Bootstrap script gates", runs on pushes to main as
well as pull requests, with one list of every input of the checks.
- publish-scripts.yml: a push whose commit message carries the skip-publish
marker (spelled out in the workflow) runs neither job and uploads nothing;
every check of the push still runs.
- build-agent.yml: a publish_as_stable release waits for the gates, which run
next to the build and are skipped otherwise.
- build-msi.yml: nothing is signed before the gates pass. The loader's own
parse/ASCII step goes, since the gates cover it.
- The reusable workflow is named "Bootstrap script gates (reusable)", since
its runs show under the caller only.

- Loader 1.3 downloads into a protected run folder of its own
(%ProgramData%\AutopilotMonitor-Loader-<8 hex>), runs the installer only when it
is signed by the pinned publisher and declares the installer role and version
2.7 or later, removes the folder after a successful run and never touches the
agent folder. Unbound arguments now reach the installer by name; the array
splat bound them by position.
- Installer 2.7 refuses without elevation and decides before it writes: guards
read HKLM through the 64-bit view (a 32-bit host never saw the deployment
marker), guard 5 is covered by the agent check. An agent's folder stays as it
is, a skip without agent removes the folder, an install starts from an emptied,
protected folder and stages the ZIP in a run folder. It moves the MSI's working
directory out, writes stderr only on failure and removes the copy older loaders
left at the fixed path.
- Help texts of both scripts state what customers need; .CHANGELOG, which made
Get-Help ignore the help, gives way to the Platform Changelog.
- OOBE go-script: the installer's shared helpers, its own elevation check
(#Requires is ignored under irm | iex), a run folder.
- Publish: version read line-anchored, the loader's own check on the exact
publish bytes, installers before loaders, -Channel dev (dispatch input).
- Bootstrap MSI 1.2.0; Test-ShouldBootstrapAgent reads the 64-bit view;
Uninstall removes loader run folders and keeps the Deployed marker.
- Tests: Pester unit suites, an integration harness running the real scripts
(loader 1.2 and the MSI 1.0 runner frozen in TestData), BootstrapContractTests;
the gate runs on windows-2022 and windows-2025, once more as SYSTEM, and against
a real standard user.
[skip actions]: published by a dispatch of publish-scripts.yml, channel dev first.

* Action pins: exact release tag in every version comment (D-331)
setup-node v7.1.0 and upload-artifact v7.0.2 moved the floating v7 tag, so the
"# v7" comments on our still-correct pins (v7.0.0, v7.0.1) stopped naming the
pinned commit and zizmor's ref-version-mismatch raised 11 code-scanning
alerts on main. The other five major-only comments (checkout, setup-dotnet,
cache, attest-build-provenance, functions-action) were one upstream release
away from the same alert.
All 38 major-only comments now carry the tag their unchanged SHA resolves to
(checkout v7.0.1, setup-dotnet v6.0.0, cache v6.1.0, setup-node v7.0.0,
upload-artifact v7.0.1, attest-build-provenance v4.2.2, functions-action
v1.5.7); no SHA moved, Dependabot keeps advancing SHA and comment together.
verify-pins now accepts only a vX.Y.Z comment and names the floating-major
case in its own error.
Verified: zizmor online (GH_TOKEN) reproduced the 11 findings before and
reports 0 ref-version-mismatch after, --min-severity low exits 0; the
verify-pins script passes all 51 uses lines and rejects a major-only comment,
a missing comment and a tag reference in a scratch workflow.

zizmor (static analysis for GitHub Actions) now runs twice: locally before a
workflow commit (hard rule in .claude/CLAUDE.md) and as the `zizmor` job next to
the pin gate in action-pins.yml (zizmorcore/zizmor-action pinned by SHA, zizmor
1.30.1 pinned, SARIF into Code scanning, severity low and above). Like the pin
gate it reports and does not block. zizmor.yml holds the single reasoned ignore.
Baseline fixes so the gate starts green:
- persist-credentials: false on every checkout except combine-rules.yml, the one
job that pushes with the checkout credentials (ignored in zizmor.yml, with reason)
- publish-scripts.yml: id-token: write moves from the workflow to the publish job;
indexnow-notify.yml: permissions: {}
- deploy-mcp.yml: env values referenced as shell variables inside bash steps
instead of template expansion
- pester.yml / publish-scripts.yml: reusable workflow via the self-repository form
$/ (GitHub changelog 2026-07-30); the pin gate treats $/ like ./
- combine-rules.yml: ajv-cli installed with npm ci from rules/scripts/package-lock.json
(no ts-node peer, no lifecycle scripts) instead of an ad-hoc global install;
Dependabot watches /rules/scripts
- azure/login pin comment corrected to the tag the SHA actually is (v3.0.2; v3
moved on to v3.1.0), no runtime change
- Dependabot: 7-day cooldown on every ecosystem (security updates are exempt)

A tag is a mutable pointer owned by the action's publisher. These jobs are not
ordinary CI: they hold the code-signing Key Vault token (D-223), the federated
storage credentials (D-222), and combine-rules.yml holds a contents:write token
that pushes to main. Whoever could repoint v7 would run code with all of that.
azure/login and Azure/functions-action were already pinned; the actions/* and
github/codeql-action references were not, on the usual argument that GitHub owns
them and shares the runner's trust boundary. That argument does not survive the
fact that they run in the same jobs as the signing identity. All seven are now
pinned by SHA with the version in a trailing comment -- the comment is what keeps
the line reviewable, and Dependabot rewrites both together.
action-pins.yml is the guard: pins nobody enforces rot, and no review reliably
catches one @v4 added to a 200-line workflow. It lives in its own workflow because
ci.yml deliberately ignores changes to the other workflow files, so a job placed
there would stay silent for exactly the commits it must inspect. Like CI it reports
rather than blocks -- main is unprotected; making it binding would mean adding it
as a required status check, which is a branch-protection decision.
Verified both directions: 49 references pass against the repo, and a fixture with
@v7, @main and a bare SHA fails with three annotations while the local reusable
workflow refs are skipped.
Two floating tool versions closed while here. wix went from the range 5.* to 5.0.2
-- it writes the bytes of the MSI customers install, where AzureSignTool only signs
them. ajv was the worse one: unpinned, and npm runs lifecycle scripts at install,
so a hijacked release would have executed with the push token before a single rule
was validated; now exact versions with --ignore-scripts.
Line endings: sed -i rewrote the workflow files as LF. Git normalises on commit, so
the content diff is unaffected and indexnow-notify.yml carries no change at all.

The scripts behind download.autopilotmonitor.com/agent/ rotated only on a
publish_as_stable run of build-agent.yml, so a bootstrap fix sat unpublished
until the next agent cutover -- while the WDP bootstrap MSI downloads the
published copy on every enrolling device.
Publish-BootstrapScripts.ps1 becomes the single owner of the chain: dev render
with anchor check, $ScriptVersion bump guard, uploads (eu + fail-soft legacy
mirror, no-cache), the two version oracles, and verification through the alias.
publish-scripts.yml calls it on every push to main touching the sources; the
publish_as_stable branch of build-agent.yml calls the same code, so a release
still lands a consistent set.
Blobs are published in a deterministic CRLF/UTF-8-without-BOM form. Git
normalises line endings on checkout, so raw working-copy bytes would differ per
environment and make every byte comparison -- guard and verify alike -- depend
on where the workflow ran. The form reproduces the currently published bytes
exactly.
The Pester (PS 5.1) and ASCII gates move into the reusable
bootstrap-script-gates.yml and now block the upload; pester.yml keeps the
pull-request view and drops its push trigger. AdminConfiguration
.LatestBootstrapV2ScriptVersion gets exactly one writer.
