Summary

Before: ByronWilliamsCPA/.github's python-ci.yml reusable ran twice per pull request, once from .github/workflows/ci.yml (the ci job) and once from .github/workflows/pr-validation.yml (the core-validation job). After this change it runs once, from ci.yml only.

Also fixes a floating ref: ci.yml called python-ci.yml@main (unpinned). It is now pinned to the current main commit 63197b196b5bf274fa544bf2d3943edf4247d14a, matching org SHA-pinning policy.

Files changed

  • .github/workflows/pr-validation.yml: removed the core-validation job (duplicate of ci.yml's ci job). Updated validate-dependencies' needs: list and shell script to drop all core-validation references, so the required "Dependency & Standards Validation" check does not hit a parse error from a needs: entry pointing at a deleted job.
  • .github/workflows/ci.yml: pinned python-ci.yml@main to @63197b196b5bf274fa544bf2d3943edf4247d14a # main.

Verification

  • Ruleset required contexts for main (gh api repos/ByronWilliamsCPA/Unify/rules/branches/main): Security Gate Validation, Dependency & Standards Validation, Check REUSE Compliance (org ruleset), CI Gate (separate org ruleset). Confirmed producers: CI Gate from ci.yml's ci-gate job, Dependency & Standards Validation from pr-validation.yml's validate-dependencies job (kept, only its needs: and script were edited), Check REUSE Compliance from reuse.yml, Security Gate Validation from security-analysis.yml. None of these four required contexts depended solely on the deleted core-validation job.
  • Compared every input ci.yml passes to python-ci.yml (no-build, python-version, coverage-threshold, source-directory, test-directory, run-integration-tests, run-security-tests, fail-on-llm-tags) against the inputs declared by python-ci.yml at 63197b196b5bf274fa544bf2d3943edf4247d14a (fetched via the GitHub contents API and parsed with yaml.safe_load): all 8 are declared. No workflow_call startup_failure risk from an undeclared input.
  • actionlint run directly against both changed workflow files: ci.yml clean; pr-validation.yml reports only pre-existing shellcheck info/style findings (SC2086, SC2129) in code this PR did not touch the substance of (confirmed via git stash diff against the pre-edit file: same category of findings present before, count reduced from 16 to 13 by the deletions in this PR, none added).
  • python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(...)" confirms both edited files still parse.
  • pre-commit run --files .github/workflows/ci.yml .github/workflows/pr-validation.yml: all hooks passed, including the repo's check-github-workflows JSON-schema validation hook.

This PR does not merge anything and does not change any ruleset or repo setting.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Pinned the Python CI workflow to a specific version for more consistent validation.
    • Streamlined pull request checks by removing duplicate core validation from the PR workflow.
    • Dependency validation now relies on dead-code and link checks, while core validation continues through the main CI workflow.

pr-validation.yml called the org-level python-ci.yml reusable a second
time via the core-validation job, duplicating ci.yml's ci job on every
pull request and roughly doubling PR CI cost (quality checks, unit,
integration, and security tests, coverage combine, LLM governance, and
the Python matrix all ran twice).

Remove core-validation from pr-validation.yml; ci.yml's call is kept as
the single source of truth. Update validate-dependencies' needs list and
its shell script to drop all references to the deleted job, so the
required Dependency & Standards Validation check does not hit a parse
error from a needs: entry pointing at a job that no longer exists.

CI Gate (ci.yml) already gates on python-ci.yml's result and remains a
required status check, so removing the duplicate does not reduce
enforcement.

Also pin ci.yml's python-ci.yml@main to the current main commit
(63197b196b5bf274fa544bf2d3943edf4247d14a) per org SHA-pinning policy.
Verified every input ci.yml passes (no-build, python-version,
coverage-threshold, source-directory, test-directory,
run-integration-tests, run-security-tests, fail-on-llm-tags) is declared
by python-ci.yml at that SHA, so the pin does not trigger a
workflow_call startup_failure from an undeclared input.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The CI workflow now pins the reusable Python workflow to a commit. Pull request validation no longer invokes the reusable workflow or waits for core-validation. Its comments document the CI Gate arrangement.

Changes

CI workflow routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pin reusable workflow
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The ci job references a specific reusable Python workflow commit instead of main.
Remove duplicate validation invocation
.github/workflows/pr-validation.yml
The workflow comments document execution through ci.yml and the CI Gate. validate-dependencies now depends only on dead-code and link-check.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 94ba1

A failed dead-code or link check can be masked by the aggregate validation job passing, weakening pull-request validation until failure propagation is restored.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The validate-dependencies summary step now unconditionally reports success and doesn’t fail the job when needs jobs are non-success, which can mask cancellations/failures for that required check.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the repository’s GitHub Actions setup to avoid running the org-level python-ci.yml reusable workflow twice per pull request, and to comply with SHA-pinning policy by replacing a floating @main ref with a pinned commit SHA.

Changes:

  • Removed the duplicate core-validation reusable-workflow job from pr-validation.yml and updated downstream needs/summary logic accordingly.
  • Pinned the reusable workflow reference in ci.yml from @main to @63197b196b5bf274fa544bf2d3943edf4247d14a.

  • The summary step unconditionally prints “✅ All validation checks passed!” and never fails the job, even if one of its needs jobs is not success (your own branches already handle the non-success case). Also, echo "" is missing >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, so the blank line doesn’t go into the step summary. Consider making the message conditional and exiting non-zero when a needed job didn’t succeed so the check reflects actual failures/cancellations.
            echo "⚠️ Link Check: ${{ needs.link-check.result }}" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
          fi
          echo ""
          echo "✅ All validation checks passed!" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY

Preserve failure propagation for the remaining validation jobs.

Because validate-dependencies uses if: always(), it runs when dead-code or link-check fails. Its check only writes status text and exits successfully, so the aggregate job can pass after a prerequisite fails. Restore the explicit failure check for both jobs and omit only the deleted core-validation condition.

Suggested fix

+                "${{ needs.link-check.result }}" != "success" ]]; then
