Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 e3041f5481 fix(ci): let the lockfile bot own the sandbox provider lockfiles (#19522)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The repository has a supply-chain rule: contributors do not commit
lockfiles. A bot and verified Dependabot commits write them.
> - The rule checks only the root `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
> - The sandbox providers are outside the root workspace, so they have
two more pnpm lockfiles. Pull requests edited them by hand, for example
#12791, #18839 and #19489.
> - This pull request makes the same rule and the same bot cover those
two lockfiles.
> - The benefit is one lockfile rule for every managed pnpm lockfile,
and no lockfile edits in contributor pull requests.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The lockfile policy and the lockfile refresh bot.

**Subsystem affected**

CI: `.github/scripts/lockfile-trust.mjs`,
`.github/workflows/refresh-lockfile.yml`, and the sandbox provider
installs.

**Current behavior**

`lockfile-trust.mjs` blocks contributor edits to `pnpm-lock.yaml` only.
A contributor can edit
`scripts/typecheck-sandbox-providers/pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/pnpm-lock.yaml`, and CI
passes. The refresh bot does not update these files.
`typecheck:test-programs` fails on a stale provider lockfile and tells
the contributor to commit a new one.

**Proposed behavior**

The policy blocks contributor edits to all three lockfiles. The refresh
bot regenerates all three after merge. CI resolves a stale provider
lockfile in place for the run, as it does for the root lockfile.

**Reason and benefit**

Lockfile content comes only from the bot or from verified Dependabot
commits. Contributors do not need to run pnpm in special folders.

**Breaking changes**

None. A pull request that edits a provider lockfile now fails the policy
check. Remove the lockfile change from the pull request. The bot commits
it after merge.

## What Changed

- `lockfile-trust.mjs` now exports `LOCKFILES`: the root lockfile, the
shared sandbox provider lockfile, and the Daytona lockfile. The policy
blocks contributor edits to each of them. A Dependabot pull request must
match a verified Dependabot commit for each lockfile that it changes.
The `merged` command and the reporting-lock proof still use only the
root lockfile.
- `check-pr-lockfile.mjs` (advisory check) uses the same list.
- `refresh-lockfile.yml`:
- A job-level `LOCKFILES` env lists the same three files. A test checks
that it equals the policy list.
- A new step regenerates the two provider lockfiles with
`--resolution-only --ignore-scripts --no-frozen-lockfile`.
- The unexpected-changes check, the change check, and `git add` cover
all three lockfiles.
  - The release-age gate checks the added versions in every lockfile.
- A held refresh saves all three lockfiles at their repository paths,
with a `source-locks.sha256` file. The next run reuses them only if
every master lockfile is unchanged. An artifact in the old format is not
reused.
  - The PR title is now `chore(lockfile): refresh pnpm lockfiles`.
- `check-lockfile-release-age.mjs` accepts more than one
`--base`/`--head` pair.
- `scripts/typecheck-test-programs.mjs`: if the frozen install of the
provider workspace fails, the script resolves the lockfile in place and
installs frozen again.
- `scripts/build-standalone-public-packages.mjs`: the same fallback
applies to a package with a committed lockfile (Daytona). `release.sh`
already restores tracked files when it exits.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md` and `doc/RELEASE-AUTOMATION-SETUP.md` describe the
managed lockfiles. They also say that the Pi and Kimi distribution
lockfiles stay hand-managed, because they hold attested provider pins.

## Verification

- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs
scripts/__tests__/build-standalone-concurrency.test.mjs`: 731 tests
pass. New tests cover:
- the policy for provider lockfiles, including a real git history with a
Dependabot commit and a later hand edit
  - the workflow and policy lists match
  - the unexpected-changes check, run with bash against a fixture
- a held refresh round trip, and its invalidation when a provider
lockfile changes on master
  - the release-age gate across lockfile pairs
  - the inline fallback in both install scripts
- `node --test scripts/typecheck-test-programs.test.mjs`: the install
tests pass. Two tests fail locally only because this worktree has no
root `node_modules` (no `tsc`). They also fail without this change.
- I ran the new bot commands on master with pnpm 9.15.4. No package
version changed. pnpm 9.15.4 removes `libc:` fields and adds
`deprecated:` notes, so the first refresh is a metadata-only change. The
release-age gate passes it because it adds no versions.
- I ran the release-age and held-lock steps locally with bash against
this commit. The gate reported `eligible=true`, and `sha256sum --check`
accepted the saved hashes.
- The workflow YAML parses, and `bash -n` accepts every `run` block.
- Not testable before merge: the policy job loads `lockfile-trust.mjs`
from the base branch, so the new rule applies only to pull requests
opened after this merges. The refresh workflow runs only on master.

## Risks

- The release build now resolves a stale Daytona lockfile in place, from
the registry. The root release install already resolves without a frozen
lockfile, so this is the same level of trust.
- The paid runner e2e job still installs Daytona with
`--frozen-lockfile`. After a Daytona manifest change merges, its Daytona
cases fail until the bot's refresh merges. This matches the rule that
paid jobs refuse a new root lockfile until its refresh merges.
- Dependabot pull requests for the provider entries in #19489 change a
provider lockfile. They pass only if each lockfile matches a verified
Dependabot commit, the same as for the root lockfile.
- Low risk otherwise: the bot keeps its existing token, environment, and
merge rules.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 7d194e901f feat(ci): merge lockfile refresh PRs through a dedicated bot (#18238)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - CI owns `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Contributors do not commit it, so a
poisoned lockfile cannot come in from a community PR.
> - `refresh-lockfile.yml` regenerates the lockfile from the manifests
on master and opens a PR.
> - That PR waits on required checks and code owner review. A
`GITHUB_TOKEN` push does not start the checks, so a maintainer must
merge each PR by hand.
> - The PR content comes only from manifests that maintainers already
reviewed on master. A human review adds little.
> - This pull request lets a dedicated GitHub App merge the refresh PR
at once, without CI or review.
> - A release-age gate holds the merge when the refresh adds a package
version that is less than 3 days old on npm.
> - The benefit is a lockfile loop that closes itself, without a bypass
for any identity that other workflows can use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12115 (the same stuck-PR problem, fixed there by starting the
checks). Refs #18219 (an example refresh PR that needed a manual
approval and merge).

**What happened?**

Each lockfile refresh PR stays open until a code owner approves it and a
maintainer merges it. The required checks `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`
also do not start, because the workflow pushes with `GITHUB_TOKEN`.

**Expected behavior**

The refresh PR merges with no human action and no CI run, unless it adds
a package version that is too new to trust without review.

**Steps to reproduce**

Merge a manifest change to master. Look at the `chore/refresh-lockfile`
PR that the workflow opens. It stays blocked.

## What Changed

- `refresh-lockfile.yml` runs in a new `lockfile-refresh` environment.
Only `master` can use this environment.
- The workflow creates a token for a dedicated lockfile bot app after
dependency resolution is complete. The token has only contents and pull
request write access.
- The workflow merges with `gh pr merge --squash --admin
--match-head-commit <sha>`, not `--auto`. It merges only the commit that
it pushed.
- New `.github/scripts/check-lockfile-release-age.mjs` compares the base
and refreshed lockfiles. It looks up the npm publish time of each added
package version. The bot merges only when every version is at least 3
days old. A lookup error, a missing publish time, a non-registry
version, or a resolution that is not a plain registry tarball also holds
the merge.
- When the gate holds the PR, the workflow posts or updates one report
comment on the PR and does not merge.
- A daily schedule runs the refresh again, so a held PR merges after its
versions are old enough.
- A held run uploads its lockfile as a `held-pnpm-lock` artifact. The
artifact records the hash of the master lockfile it started from. The
next master run resolves from it only while master still has that
lockfile, so held versions stay while their manifests do not change, and
a maintainer's lockfile correction replaces them. The workflow does not
read the PR branch for this, because users with write access can push to
it.
- The generated PR body now describes the gate.
- `tests/runner-e2e/OPERATIONS.md` now says that the bot can merge the
report-lock correction without review, under the same gate.
- New `lockfile-refresh-merge.test.mjs` pins the merge safeguards: the
environment, the step order, the gate conditions, and
`--match-head-commit`.
- `doc/RELEASE-AUTOMATION-SETUP.md` §8.1 tells an admin how to create
the app, the environment, and the ruleset bypass. It also tells why we
do not use `github-actions` or `commitperclip` for the bypass.

## Verification

- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/check-lockfile-release-age.test.mjs
.github/scripts/tests/lockfile-refresh-*.test.mjs` passes (17/17).
- I ran the gate against the real lockfile diff of #18219 and the live
npm registry. With 3 days, all 7 added versions passed
(`eligible=true`). With 60 days, it held all 7 `turbo` 2.11.10 versions
(9.1 days old) and wrote the report.
- The workflow YAML parses. actionlint did not run, because it is not
installed locally and Docker was not available.
- No live run yet. After the admin setup in §8.1, run the workflow with
`workflow_dispatch` on master, or merge a manifest change. Then make
sure that the bot opens and merges the refresh PR.

## Risks

- **Setup order.** An org admin must do the steps in §8.1 before this PR
merges. If not, the next refresh fails at the token step, and the PR
stays open for a manual merge, as it does now.
- **No CI on lockfile changes.** A bad resolution can land on master
without a check. The next manifest PR or the canary release shows the
problem.
- **Release-age gate limits.** The gate stops only fast-detected attacks
on new versions. A malicious version that stays undetected for more than
3 days still merges without review. Lockfile changes that add very new
versions now wait for a maintainer or up to 3 days.
- **Bypass scope.** The app bypasses the master ruleset only in pull
request mode. It cannot push to master directly. Only the master-only
`lockfile-refresh` environment holds its key. If the key leaks, the
holder can merge any open PR past review. Rotate the key if you think it
leaked.
- **More master runs.** A merge by an app token starts push workflows on
master. A merge by `GITHUB_TOKEN` does not. After each lockfile merge,
the canary release runs, and the refresh workflow runs again with no
change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edit, GitHub CLI).
