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.

The code-signing identity trusts only environment:release now, so build-agent
release, build-msi sign-loader and release, and publish-scripts publish run in it.
Every job that federates to Azure carries an environment; the ref is no longer a
trusted subject. Help texts of the storage and endpoint helpers follow: the local
build publishes nothing since D-354.

.github/scripts/Get-Endpoints.ps1 defines the storage account (blob and table
derived from its name), the containers, the AdminConfiguration row, the legacy
mirror, the download alias, API, MCP, portal, www, docs and the timestamp
server. Workflows load it once per job; the script publisher and the local
release build call it; the dev-render anchors are built from the alias entry.
deploy-web takes NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL and NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_STATS_MANIFEST_URL
from the registry instead of repository variables and refuses an empty value.
A new Workflow gates job fails on any host spelled out in a workflow or CI
helper; the enforced list is derived from the registry.

* 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.

* bump pointer: internal (D-331 action pin comments)

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.

Start-AutopilotMonitor.ps1 is the new stage 1 -- the file an administrator assigns in
Intune. It carries no enrollment logic: it downloads the published installer, verifies its
Authenticode signature, and runs it in the same process, passing through every remaining
argument. Assigning the installer directly stays supported and unchanged.
The point of the split is that the customer-held artifact stops changing. Today every
bootstrap change forces customers to replace their Intune copy, so the fleet runs a
distribution of script versions we do not control. It is also what makes script signing
worth doing: signing a file that gets swapped by hand each release is a one-off gain,
signing a loader that never changes is permanent.
The loader is deliberately minimal, because it is the one piece that cannot be fixed
remotely -- every guard placed in it would be frozen for years. All guards stay in stage 2.
Verification pins the certificate SUBJECT, never a thumbprint: certificates get renewed and
a deployed loader cannot be, so a thumbprint pin would strand the fleet at the next
renewal. A hash oracle was rejected for a different reason -- it would have to be fetched
from the same host as the script, so it could not survive a compromise of that host, while
the expected publisher travels inside the loader.
Fail-closed on verification, fail-soft on exit: nothing runs without a valid signature from
us (running unverified code as SYSTEM is the risk being removed here), but the loader still
exits 0, because a device without monitoring is acceptable and a failed enrollment step is
not. The accepted cost is that a device which can never fetch or verify stays silent.
Publisher changes:
- every published script is signed (loader, installer, both -Dev renders,
Test-ShouldBootstrapAgent, Grant-AutopilotMonitorAddOn), and signing is the LAST
transformation: it covers exactly the CRLF/UTF-8 bytes Get-PublishBytes produced, so
nothing may normalise or re-encode them afterwards.
- signing is mandatory for a real publish. Only -DryRun may run unsigned, because the PR
gate executes the publisher without any Azure login.
- comparisons against a published copy strip the signature block first. A timestamped
signature differs on every run, so without stripping the version-bump guard and the
drift check would report a change for every unchanged script.
- the bump guard became Assert-VersionBump and now covers the loader as well.
- version.json gains loaderVersion. Additive, no consumer yet: stage 2 is current by
construction, so only stage 1's version says anything about a customer's Intune copy.
- -SignedOutputDir writes the exact uploaded bytes for the CI artifact, in a dry run too --
that is how a signed script gets inspected before it reaches anyone.
publish-scripts.yml logs in with the signing identity first and only to fetch the Key Vault
token (azure/login sets the default az account and the storage login has to be the one that
stays), then publishes and offers the signed scripts as an artifact. build-agent.yml passes
the same parameters on a stable cutover.
Tests: 14 new Pester cases, including that a validly signed script from a FOREIGN publisher
is refused -- that is what an attacker with any code-signing certificate can produce. Full
bootstrap suite on Windows PowerShell 5.1: 43/43.
Not covered: the MSI runner still downloads stage 2 without verifying it, and the customer
docs still describe the direct assignment only.

Every storage write against autopilotmonitoreu -- build-counter CAS, agent ZIP and MSI,
version manifests, customer bootstrap scripts, the AdminConfiguration hash oracle -- now
rides on the existing federated credential (subject repo:.../ref:refs/heads/main) instead
of a long-lived SAS in repo secrets.
The REST calls themselves are unchanged: '?<sas>' became an Authorization header, so the
ETag-CAS of the counters, Content-MD5 and the no-cache contract survive verbatim. That is
also why this is not a rewrite onto 'az storage blob upload' -- it cannot express If-Match,
and two concurrent builds could then mint the same build number.
.github/scripts/Get-StorageAuthHeaders.ps1 is the single place that knows the resource id,
the az invocation and the service version. x-ms-version is mandatory for Entra-authorized
requests (>= 2017-11-09) and for any Table request without a SAS; 2021-08-06 was verified
live against both the blob and the table endpoint of this account.
azure/login added to build-agent, build-msi, publish-scripts (plus id-token: write) and
deploy-web; deploy-backend and deploy-mcp already had it. Publish-BootstrapScripts.ps1
-DryRun acquires NO token: the PR gate runs it without any Azure login, and that must
stay true.
The AdminConfiguration merge lost its "secret not configured" skip branch -- a failure
there now surfaces instead of silently leaving the hash oracle pointing at an older build.
AZURE_BLOB_AGENT_SAS_TOKEN, AZURE_BLOB_VERSIONS_SAS_TOKEN and AZURE_TABLE_ADMIN_SAS_TOKEN
are retired once the first runs are green. AZURE_BLOB_AGENT_LEGACY_SAS_TOKEN stays: that
account lives in the pre-migration tenant, where this principal has no identity -- it dies
with the mirror, not before.
Requires on the SP: Storage Blob Data Contributor on the containers 'agent' and 'versions',
Storage Table Data Contributor on the table 'AdminConfiguration'. Granted 2026-09-08.
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.
