• 🟡 (00:30) Review began by capturing the exact changed-file inventory and content fingerprints, with a plan to inspect every listed file, run all 3 required checks, and compare the final worktree against the initial snapshot.

• 🟡 (00:31) Passing test-file counts were: src/modules/__tests__/approval-attestation.js 5; src/publish/__tests__/validate-approval-attestation.js 9; src/publish/__tests__/authorize-approval.js 7; src/modules/__tests__/update-issue.js 6; src/modules/__tests__/process-end-state.js 4; src/publish/__tests__/workflow-action-pinning.js 16; src/modules/__tests__/approval-authorizer.js 15; src/publish/__tests__/current-accepted-event.js 2; src/publish/__tests__/record-ci-ready-attestation.js 3; src/publish/__tests__/record-auto-approval-attestation.js 2; src/modules/__tests__/post-workflow-details.js 1; src/libs/__tests__/github.js 2; src/modules/__tests__/details-from-context.js 5; src/publish/__tests__/auto-approval-workflow.js 2; src/publish/__tests__/ci-poller-workflow.js 3; and src/publish/__tests__/publish-workflow.js 2.
• 🟡 (00:31) yarn lint ran eslint src .github --ignore-pattern '!.github' and passed with no reported errors in 1.18s.
• 🟡 (00:31) git diff --check produced no output, indicating it passed.
• 🔴 (00:31) User requires manually dispatched workflows to always run trusted code: “Always run trusted code.”
• 🔴 (00:31) User requires that a release never be moved to ci-ready after it changes: “Never move a release to ci-ready after it changes.”
• 🔴 (00:31) User requires mutation fencing such that a renamed or re-approved issue never reaches ci-ready.
• 🟡 (00:31) .github/workflows/auto-approve.yml defines auto-approve non-sdks, triggered only for newly opened issues when the actor is sentry-release-bot[bot] or getsantry[bot] and the title starts with publish: ; job auto-approve runs on ubuntu-latest in the production environment with contents: read and issues: write.
• 🟡 (00:31) .github/workflows/auto-approve.yml pins actions/checkout@11d5960a326750d5838078e36cf38b85af677262 and actions/create-github-app-token@bcd2ba49218906704ab6c1aa796996da409d3eb1; checkout is sparse to auto-approve-repos.txt, and app-token inputs use vars.SENTRY_INTERNAL_APP_ID and secrets.SENTRY_INTERNAL_APP_PRIVATE_KEY.
• 🟡 (00:31) .github/workflows/auto-approve.yml runs node src/publish/record-auto-approval-attestation.js with APPROVAL_TOKEN, APPROVAL_ISSUE_NUMBER, APPROVAL_ISSUE_REPOSITORY, APPROVAL_ISSUE_TITLE, and AUTO_APPROVER; on success it posts ${{ steps.attestation.outputs.auto_approval_attestation }} as an issue comment.
• 🟡 (00:31) .github/workflows/auto-approve.yml extracts the repository from publish: <repo>@... using sed, checks it with exact fixed-line matching via grep -qxF against auto-approve-repos.txt, and only then adds the accepted label using the generated Internal App token.
• 🟡 (00:31) .github/workflows/ci-poller.yml includes a trusted-code checkout safeguard because workflow_dispatch can target any ref; the checkout action is pinned to actions/checkout@d23441a48e516b6c34aea4fa41551a30e30af803.
• 🟡 (00:31) .github/workflows/ci-poller.yml binds each polling cycle to the current accepted-label event before inspecting CI, revalidates expected accepted-event details including EXPECTED_ACCEPTED_ACTOR, and prevents changed, renamed, or re-approved releases from reaching ci-ready.
• 🟡 (00:31) .github/workflows/ci-poller.yml communicates failed approval verification with: Approval is invalid or could not be verified. Re-add the accepted label to retry after resolving the issue.
• 🟡 (00:32) .github/workflows/cocoapods-keepalive.yml defines CocoaPods Token Keep-Alive, scheduled daily at midnight UTC with cron "0 0 * * *" because CocoaPods sessions currently expire after 3 days of inactivity (VALIDITY_LENGTH).
• 🟡 (00:32) .github/workflows/cocoapods-keepalive.yml job keepalive/Refresh CocoaPods Session runs on macos-15 in the production environment with contents: read, supplies COCOAPODS_TRUNK_TOKEN from secrets.COCOAPODS_TRUNK_TOKEN, installs CocoaPods using gem install cocoapods, prints pod --version, and refreshes the session with pod trunk me > /dev/null 2>&1.
