For this introducing commit, the base commit 4dd9277eb3c0e436cdc9692cadab77a8e5cb5221 contains neither swarm-definition.test.sh nor swarm-definition.sh, so the newly pinned base checkout cannot populate these paths. This unconditional command therefore exits with “No such file or directory” before the review runs; even if it were skipped, the next step invokes the other missing base-owned script. Land the trusted helpers separately first or provide a narrow bootstrap path that does not execute the candidate copy, since the repository rail requires the judging gate to remain immutable.

This path is read from pr-head, which is checked out at the raw github.event.pull_request.head.sha, not the effective merge result. Consequently, a PR branched before errorHandling was added—and which never modifies this workflow—fails here with key not found: "errorHandling", even though merging it would retain the valid definition from the base branch. Validate the pull-request merge ref or skip this contract check when the definition is unchanged by the PR.

Summary
Follow-up to merged #259 (
39dd21345abadfa21d55f57fdc8a6fe85e06b824). Its failedreviewcheck was not evidence about the retry-delay change: the immutable gate launchedmain:workflows/review-swarm.yaml, so the candidate definition was never exercised.This PR keeps that trusted execution model and makes the boundary explicit:
github.event.pull_request.base.sha, so the judge cannot move while a run is live;The candidate validator is a contract check, not a candidate verdict. Runtime execution of a changed review definition becomes authoritative only after that definition is merged and the main-owned gate runs it.
Evidence
bash .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-definition.test.sh— all pass../.github/workflows/scripts/swarm-definition.sh workflows/review-swarm.yaml workflows/review-swarm.yaml—CANDIDATE_DEFINITION_OK;retryDelayMs=60000;timeoutMs=3600000../.github/workflows/scripts/swarm-gate.test.sh— 21 passed, 0 failed.git diff --cached --checkpass.Do not merge until this PR's checks and independent review are green at exact head.
Note
Medium Risk
Changes merge-gate CI behavior and trusted checkout pinning; mistakes could block merges or weaken definition checks, but the design is fail-closed with main-owned tests.
Overview
Pins the immutable gate to the PR base SHA instead of a moving
mainref, so the trusted scripts andworkflows/review-swarm.yamlused to judge a run cannot change mid-flight.When a PR actually patches
workflows/review-swarm.yaml, a new Validate candidate review definition step runs a main-ownedswarm-definition.shcontract check (Ruby/Psych) on the PR-head file against the base definition—enforcing retry strategy, minimum 60sretryDelayMs, and unchangedtimeoutMs—while the cloud swarm still launches../gate-files/workflows/review-swarm.yaml, so the candidate never self-approves.The gate self-test step now verifies Psych is available, runs
swarm-definition.test.shfrom the pinned checkout, and sparse-checkout includes the new scripts; PR #265 can bootstrap with a notice until the validator exists on base.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 50c5ccd. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
Summary by cubic
Fixes review-swarm candidate validation so PRs that modify
workflows/review-swarm.yamlare checked against the trusted base instead of letting the candidate judge itself. The gate now checks out the PR's base SHA (previously a movingmainref) and runs a new main-owned validator that enforces theretrystrategy, a ≥60sretryDelayMs, and atimeoutMsmatching the base, while the actual review run still launches the trusted base definition.Migration
main; afterwards a missing validator or invalid candidate YAML fails the gate closed.Written for commit 50c5ccd. Summary will update on new commits.
