Fork pull requests stop failing checks they could never pass

DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1035

Head SHA: 1ebd1e3e3e0d3653b0f27262db495f7fe8cfc2cc

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Merged PR; unpublished blog draft. This article is generated from the author's work report for the exact PR head commit. Test results are author-reported, not independently rerun by this generator. Merge status is not proof of deployment or runtime correctness.

Work report

Fork pull requests stop collecting red checks that can never pass: the three bot workflows that need repository secrets now skip when the pull request head repository is not this repository, while same-repo pull requests and issue events keep their current behaviour.

What changed

• .github/workflows/project-auto-add.yml: a job-level condition skips pull_request events whose head repository is a fork; issue events are unchanged.
• .github/workflows/project-auto-status.yml: the pr-opened and pr-merged jobs gain the same fork guard, because PROJECT_TOKEN is withheld on pull_request events from forks.
• .github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml: the claude-review job skips fork PRs, where CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN arrives empty and the action fails before reviewing anything.
• Rebased on main d15d6d8 on 2026-09-20 and the dev-enforcement archive move was dropped, because ci(release): six release workflows, audited by running them rather than reading them #1054 rewrote that workflow on main and it parses again.
• Branch refreshed against main on 2026-10-01 via update-branch (merge commit) after feat(queen): MY RUNNERS cabinet on the leaderboard tab #1205 and ci(record-demos): fix the VHS install and render the tapes from this checkout #1224 landed; no code changes, only the required head_sha refresh in this report.

Context and reasoning

Every pull request opened from a fork in this repository carried red checks that had nothing to do with the change: three jobs asked for repository secrets that GitHub deliberately withholds on pull_request events from forks, and failed before doing any work.

The change adds one job-level condition to each secret-bound job, so a pull request whose head repository is not this repository skips those jobs instead of failing them, while same-repo pull requests and the issue-driven project automation behave exactly as before.

A fourth failure from the same family, the dev-enforcement workflow that had not parsed since March, was going to be archived by this branch; #1054 rewrote the file on main instead, so the branch was rebased and that part dropped rather than carried further.

Reported verification

• [passed] Command: python3 -c 'import yaml,sys; [yaml.safe_load(open(f)) for f in sys.argv[1:]]' .github/workflows/project-auto-add.yml .github/workflows/project-auto-status.yml .github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml. Result: All three edited workflows parse and each guarded job carries an if condition. Evidence: Local run 2026-09-20 on commit 533f7af over origin/main d15d6d8
• [passed] Command: python3 -c 'import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open(".github/workflows/dev-enforcement.yml"))'. Result: The workflow parses on this branch with jobs title-check and pr-status, the rewrite that landed in ci(release): six release workflows, audited by running them rather than reading them #1054, so archiving it is no longer warranted and that part of this branch is gone. Evidence: Local run 2026-09-20; the file on this branch is byte identical to the copy on main d15d6d8
• [passed] Command: git diff origin/main HEAD --stat. Result: Three workflow files changed, eleven insertions and two deletions, no other path touched. Evidence: Local run 2026-09-20 in the rebased worktree; the earlier rename of dev-enforcement.yml no longer appears
• [passed] Command: GitHub Actions run of the guarded jobs on this pull request from the dmitrii-f-t27 fork. Result: add-to-project, pr-opened and claude-review all report skipping instead of failing. Evidence: Checks on this PR from 2026-09-16 (run 35071039921 and siblings) show the three jobs as skipping, because pull_request workflows run from the PR merge ref and the PR exercises its own guards

Limits and open questions

• Fork PRs will no longer be auto-added to project deps: Bump @anthropic-ai/sdk from 0.40.1 to 0.72.1 in /vibee-electron #6 or receive a Claude review; switching the two project workflows to pull_request_target would restore board updates with secrets available, but that is a policy choice for the repository owner.
• The Brain CI gate (brain health NOT MEASURED, no Score line from tri stress --health) fails on every run, fork or not, and is out of scope here.
• Whether the rewritten dev-enforcement workflow behaves correctly on fork pull requests is not measured here; its pr-status job carries continue-on-error, which is why this branch stopped touching it.
