chore: add consolidated SBOM generation workflow

  • Single sbom.yml workflow replaces duplicate sbom-release.yml
  • Pinned syft version (v1.41.0) for supply-chain integrity
  • Uses GITHUB_TOKEN for release asset management
  • Idempotent: deletes existing SBOM asset before re-upload
  • Fixed shell syntax (no stray quoted string)
  • Runs on v* tag pushes only

Shell syntax error: the last line is a bare quoted string used as a command, so the step will fail with "or manually create a release draft.": command not found. The intent was clearly to continue the previous echo message. Fix by merging into a single echo:

echo "Ensure the tag was created by the release-please process or manually create a release draft."

actions/upload-release-asset is archived on GitHub and its @v1 runtime is node12, which GitHub-hosted runners no longer support — the step will fail to run. It also does NOT accept a tag_name input: its required input is upload_url (the asset endpoint URL), so tag_name: ${{ github.ref_name }} here will be rejected and upload_url will be missing. This workflow will not attach anything. Prefer a maintained action that resolves releases by tag, e.g. softprops/action-gh-release (pin to a SHA / tagged release) with files: sbom.spdx.json, or the gh release CLI:

run: gh release upload "${{ github.ref_name }}" sbom.spdx.json --clobber

Note also that sbom.yml in this same PR already uploads sbom.spdx.json to the same release on the same tag trigger — see the duplication comment.

There are two workflows in this PR - sbom.yml and sbom-release.yml - that both trigger on 'v*' tag pushes, both generate a file named sbom.spdx.json, and both upload that same-named asset to the same GitHub release. On a real tag push they run concurrently and race to create/overwrite the single sbom.spdx.json asset (a second upload of an existing asset name fails with a 422, while the other deletes-then-reuploads). Ship exactly one workflow; delete the other. sbom.yml is the more complete one (deletes + re-uploads), so sbom-release.yml is likely redundant - but note sbom-release.yml cannot work at all anyway (see its upload step comment).

Supply-chain / security: anchore/syft-action@master is a moving ref (not pinned to a SHA or tagged release) and syft-version: 'latest' installs an unpinned tool version. This repo pins every action to a commit SHA (see zizmor.yml/ci.yml) and runs zizmor + scorecard audits; a moving @master + latest dependency will be flagged and defeats reproducibility. Pin the action to a SHA and a fixed syft version (or install syft at a pinned version).

All six inline comments are posted. The review is complete. Here is my summary.

Summary

Requesting changes

This PR adds SBOM generation/attachment to releases plus two ADRs. The SBOM automation has real correctness and security problems that must be fixed before it will actually work — or be safe — in this repo.

  • Broken upload step (sbom-release.yml:26): actions/upload-release-asset@v1 is archived, runs on the now-unsupported Node 12 runtime (step will fail), and it does not accept tag_name — its required input is upload_url. This workflow cannot attach anything.
  • Duplicate/conflicting workflows (sbom.yml:10): both sbom.yml and sbom-release.yml trigger on v* tags and both upload the same sbom.spdx.json to the same release, racing on a single-named asset. Ship exactly one.
  • Shell bug (sbom.yml:91): the last line is a stray quoted string used as a command → "command not found"; the two echo lines need merging.
  • Supply-chain: unpinned deps contradict the repo's SHA-pinning/zizmor/scorecard posture — anchore/syft-action@master + syft-version: 'latest' (sbom-release.yml:18) and curl | sh from raw.githubusercontent.../main (sbom.yml:39). Pin the action and syft version.
  • Scope (ADR 013:1): the paging-headers ADR is unrelated to this SBOM chore and describes a core Go change not present here — worth its own PR for a clear history and focused review.

The recommended consolidation: keep a single workflow (the fuller sbom.yml), use gh release upload ... --clobber or a SHA-pinned maintained action, pin syft, and fix the trailing shell line. The two ADRs are formatted and wired into the index/sidebar correctly.

SYFT_VERSION is never set in this step, so the install URL is broken. The env: SYFT_VERSION: v1.41.0 is declared only on the next step ("Generate SBOM", lines 43-44). Here it is unset, so the URL resolves to raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/v/install.sh, which 404s and the step fails. Move the env (or a hard-coded version) onto this Install step. Note also that even if it were set here, v$SYFT_VERSION with value v1.41.0 would expand to vv1.41.0 — drop the leading v from the value or from the URL template.

Shell syntax error: a bare quoted string on its own line. Line 93 is a stray "or manually create a release draft." used as a command, so this step will fail with command not found (and the preceding notice is split across two echoes). Merge it into the previous line:

echo "Ensure the tag was created by the release-please process or manually create a release draft."

Unpinned actions deviate from the repo convention. Every action in this repo is pinned to a commit SHA with a # vX.Y.Z comment (see ci.yml: actions/checkout@3d3c42... # v7.0.1, actions/setup-go@b7ad1dad... # v7.0.0), and the zizmor/scorecard CI enforces that. actions/checkout@v4 and actions/setup-go@v5 here use moving minor tags and will both be flagged. Pin both to a commit SHA with the version comment.

Supply-chain: curl-pipe-to-sh from a moving URL with no integrity check. This pipes install.sh fetched from raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/v$SYFT_VERSION/install.sh straight into sh, with no pinned version in this step and no checksum verification -- a supply-chain anti-pattern the repo zizmor/scorecard posture and SHA-pinning convention expects you to avoid. Prefer a SHA-pinned action (e.g. anchore/syft-action pinned to a commit hash for a fixed syft version) or download the exact-version release asset and verify its checksum. This also combines with the SYFT_VERSION scoping bug on the same line -- fix both together.

All four inline comments posted. I have two verified actionable shell/correctness bugs (SYFT_VERSION scoping + line 93), plus the supply-chain/pinning deviations (curl|sh, unpinned actions) which align with the zizmor findings already on the PR. I rated these as genuine — the SYFT_VERSION scoping bug is the most important because the workflow cannot run as written.

Here's my final review summary:


Requesting changes

This workflow cannot run successfully as written — there's a scoping bug that breaks the syft install, plus a shell syntax error, and the unpinned dependencies contradict the repo's zizmor/scorecard posture.

  • SYFT_VERSION is set on the wrong step (line 39) — the env: SYFT_VERSION: v1.41.0 is on the next step ("Generate SBOM", lines 43-44), so the Install step expands it to an empty value (URL 404s). And v$SYFT_VERSION with value v1.41.0 would yield vv1.41.0 anyway. Move the env/hardcoded version onto the Install step and drop the double v.
  • Shell syntax error (line 93) — a stray quoted string is used as a command and will fail with command not found; merge it into the preceding echo.
  • Unpinned actions (lines 28, 33)actions/checkout@v4 / actions/setup-go@v5 use moving minor tags where the repo SHA-pins every action with a version comment (see ci.yml); these will be flagged by zizmor.
  • Supply-chain (curl | sh, line 39) — installs syft from a moving raw URL with no checksum verification; prefer a SHA-pinned action or a pinned release download with checksum validation.

Fix the install scoping + the trailing shell line (both are hard failures) and align pinning, then this is solid.

Closing in favor of #765 (identical change on the validly-named branch chore/sbom-release-workflow, whose CI checks pass). The branch name sbom-release-workflow fails the branch-policy '/' check and cannot be renamed because chore/sbom-release-workflow already exists.
