ci: retire deprecated per-PR changelog gate - #63
Conversation
The org reusable workflow python-supplemental-checks.yml has marked enable-changelog-check as a deprecated no-op: per-PR CHANGELOG edits caused merge-queue conflicts because every PR edited the same file. The changelog is now generated at release by python-semantic-release from Conventional Commits. Re-pin the supplemental-checks call to the current main SHA of the reusable workflow, drop enable-changelog-check plus its changelog-path and changelog-skip-labels inputs, and enable enable-commit-lint so PR titles and commits stay Conventional-Commits compliant for release-time changelog generation.

🟢 Approval recommended
The workflow update is low risk, uses a valid reusable-workflow SHA, and replaces deprecated inputs with the current supported commit-lint toggle.
Pull request overview
Updates this repo’s PR-validation GitHub Actions workflow to align with the org reusable workflow deprecating the per-PR changelog gate, relying instead on Conventional Commits for release-time changelog generation.
Changes:
- Re-pin the reusable
python-supplemental-checks.ymlworkflow reference to the latestmainSHA. - Remove deprecated changelog-related inputs and enable
enable-commit-lint: trueinstead.

GitHub Actions reusable workflows secrets inherit caller secrets documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, secrets are not automatically passed to reusable workflows [1][2]. To make secrets available, you must explicitly pass them or use the inherit keyword [1][3]. Using secrets: inherit You can use the secrets: inherit keyword in your calling workflow to automatically pass all secrets available to the caller (including repository, organization, and environment secrets) to the reusable workflow [1][4]. Example of using inheritance: jobs: call-workflow: uses: octo-org/example-repo/.github/workflows/reusable-workflow.yml@main secrets: inherit When using inherit, you do not need to explicitly define the secrets in the reusable workflow's on.workflow_call key [1][5]. Alternative: Explicit Pass-through If you prefer not to use inherit, you can pass specific secrets by name [1][6]. When doing this: 1. The calling workflow must map the secrets in the jobs.<job_id>.secrets block [1][7]. 2. The reusable workflow must explicitly declare the expected secrets in its on.workflow_call.secrets block [3][6]. Important Considerations: - Inheritance is not transitive: If workflow A calls B, and B calls C, secrets are only passed to C if they were explicitly forwarded or inherited by B from A [1][5]. - Security: Inheritance provides access to all secrets available to the caller [4]. Ensure that you trust the reusable workflow before granting it access to all your secrets via inherit [7]. - Troubleshooting: If your reusable workflow receives empty values for secrets, it is likely because they were not forwarded via inherit or an explicit mapping [3][6].

Add CI validation for commit subjects
enable-commit-lint validates only PR titles through action-semantic-pull-request. The release workflow runs on pushes to main and master, and python-semantic-release parses commit messages. Unless the merge policy guarantees that every release commit subject comes from the validated PR title, a non-Conventional commit can reach semantic release. Add commit-subject validation or enforce that merge policy.

The pin this branch already carried (09eec5b6) still contains
`--exclude-mail`, which current lychee (v0.24.2, via lychee-action v2.9.0)
rejects outright:
error: unexpected argument '--exclude-mail' found
That fails the Documentation Links job before a single link is checked,
which fails this repo's Dependency & Standards Validation context.
ByronWilliamsCPA/.github#297 removed the flag; 28a710b8 is the resulting
squash commit on main. python-libs is one of only two callers of this
reusable workflow, and both pin by SHA, so this bump is what actually
delivers the fix here.
