What changed

  • Separate artifact preparation from Cloudflare deployment.
  • Pass the pull-request number through a job output.
  • Restrict deployment permissions and skip fork-originated workflow runs.

Why

Keep untrusted pull-request artifacts away from the deployment step and its Cloudflare credentials while preserving trusted repository preview deployments.

Ref: EC-2063

Split artifact preparation from Cloudflare deployment and pass the pull-request number through a job output. Restrict deploy permissions and skip runs whose artifacts come from fork repositories, keeping untrusted content away from the deployment token.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The preview workflow now separates website preparation from deployment. The prepare job uploads a prepared website artifact and exposes the pull request number. The deploy job downloads the artifact and uses that number for the preview branch and comment.

Changes

Preview workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prepare and deploy preview
.github/workflows/preview.yaml
The prepare job runs for successful same-repository pull-request workflow runs. It downloads only the website artifact, prepares the site, uploads it as website-preview, and exposes the pull request number. The deploy job downloads the prepared artifact and uses the number for the Cloudflare branch and pull-request comment.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5255b

Preview deployments remain limited to successful same-repository pull-request runs and use the triggering run’s PR metadata; no concrete user-impacting regression is evident.

Harden Cloudflare preview deployments

⚙️ Configuration changes 🐞 Bug fix 🕐 10-20 Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Separate artifact preparation from deployment so preparation runs without deployment credentials.
• Deploy previews only for successful, repository-originated pull-request builds.
• Pass the pull-request number between jobs and limit each job’s permissions.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Gate preparation as well as deployment
  • ➕ Avoids downloading and processing fork-originated artifacts in the privileged workflow.
  • ➖ Fork-originated runs would no longer produce a prepared artifact, though they cannot deploy under this PR.
2. Use separate preparation and deployment workflows
  • ➕ Creates a stronger workflow-level boundary around deployment credentials.
  • ➖ Adds workflow coordination and artifact handoff complexity.

Recommendation: The two-job approach is a proportionate way to keep credentials out of artifact preparation while preserving repository previews. Consider gating preparation too if fork artifacts need not be processed at all; separate workflows are more complex than this change requires.

Isolate preview preparation from guarded Cloudflare deployment

• Splits the preview workflow into a read-only preparation job and a deployment job with scoped permissions. The jobs exchange a prepared website artifact and pull-request number; deployment runs only when the successful build originated in the repository.

82-82: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The fork guard on deploy does not protect the prepare job.

The if on deploy blocks the Cloudflare deployment step for fork runs. The prepare job still runs for fork runs. It downloads and unzips untrusted artifacts, and it has actions: read. This is acceptable only if prepare has no secrets. It has none here.

Add the same repository check to the prepare condition. Then fork-originated runs skip all processing, and the guard is not only on the deploy side. This also matches the stated PR goal to skip fork-originated workflow runs.

Proposed fix
-    if: github.event.workflow_run.event == 'pull_request' && github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success'
+    if: github.event.workflow_run.event == 'pull_request' && github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success' && github.event.workflow_run.head_repository.full_name == github.repository

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Tier 1 ~2.0: CI_WORKFLOW_CHANGED and one protected-path hit elevate an otherwise XS change; all other signals low. Tier 2 ~2.0: file has long stable history dominated by automated dependency bumps with no reverts. Weighted (62% T1 + 38% T2) = 2.0. Prior assessment was 2/moderate; signals unchanged. Security-hardening intent (restricting deploy permissions, isolating fork artifacts from Cloudflare credentials) is sound and does not introduce new risk surface.

Previous run

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

CI_WORKFLOW_CHANGED (sub-score 4) and a single protected-path hit (sub-score 3) elevate what is otherwise a minimal XS change; stable Tier 2 signals and returning author keep the composite at 2 (moderate), consistent with the prior assessment.

Previous run (2)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Small CI workflow change with a single protected path hit and CI_WORKFLOW_CHANGED driving moderate risk; stable file history and returning author keep the score low-moderate.

Review

Findings

Medium

  • [protected-path] .github/workflows/preview.yaml — PR modifies a file under .github/, a governance / infrastructure path that always requires human approval. The PR body explains the hardening rationale (isolating Cloudflare credentials from untrusted artifact handling; skipping fork-originated workflow runs) and references EC-2063; the requires-manual-review label is applied. Flagged for the human reviewer regardless of context.

Review

Findings

Medium

  • [protected-path] .github/workflows/preview.yaml — This PR modifies a file under .github/, which is a protected governance/infrastructure path. The PR body provides a clear rationale (isolate untrusted PR artifacts from Cloudflare deployment credentials; skip fork-originated runs; ref: EC-2063), so there is sufficient context for the change. Human approval is always required for protected-path changes regardless of context.

@fullsend-ai-review fullsend-ai-review Bot added the requires-manual-review Review requires human judgment label Oct 7, 2026
Apply the repository-origin check before downloading and unpacking preview artifacts, so fork-originated workflow runs are skipped before any artifact processing.

Use workflow-run metadata for the pull-request number and extract only the website artifact to avoid duplicate paths.
