What

Fixes the five-workflow startup_failure cluster on main and trues the README up to what is actually on disk.

The two startup-failure mechanisms

  1. Empty Actions allowlist — the repo policy is selected with patterns_allowed: [], so any workflow referencing a non-GitHub-owned, non-verified action (dawidd6/action-send-mail, haskell-actions/setup, peter-evans/repository-dispatch, plus the third-party actions inside the standards governance reusable) was rejected at plan time with 0 jobs. Fixed in repo settings (13 patterns added, all SHA-pin-enforced anyway via sha_pinning_required); the prior state is backed up.
  2. Caller permissions narrower than the called reusable requestsscorecard-reusable requests security-events: write + id-token: write; a called reusable workflow cannot escalate past the caller's grant, so the run died at startup. scorecard.yml now grants them. (This is why hypatia-scan.yml, whose reusable only asks security-events: read that the caller already granted, kept running while Scorecard/Governance died.)

Also in this PR

  • Bump all five standards reusable pins d135b05a44c93a — picks up the report-only Hypatia gate ("warn, fix forward") and the baseline-validation job that skips cleanly when no .hypatia-baseline.json exists. Both are required status checks on main, so without this every future PR deadlocks (this morning's Hypatia scan failure was the pre-#449-stopgap gate failing on any finding).
  • Remove invalid timeout-minutes from reusable-call jobs in secret-scanner.yml / mirror.yml — same class as cartridges#70; unsupported keys on a uses: job invalidate the whole workflow file.
  • Pin trufflesecurity/trufflehog@main → v3.95.6 SHA (repo requires SHA pinning; @main was rejected).
  • Gate instant-sync dormant behind vars.INSTANT_SYNC_ENABLED — its FARM_DISPATCH_TOKEN was retired in the 2026-06-30 credential rebuild; re-arm by setting the variable once the replacement fine-grained PAT exists.
  • README truth-up: 101→114 registry adapters (disk count), 547→824 tests + 68 properties (disk count), disclose that ~10 adapters target planned registries for hyperpolymath's own languages via git fallback, point the OPSM UI section at the in-repo opsm-ui/ directory (the hyperpolymath/opsm-ui GitHub repo does not exist), and reword "Formal Verification" to "Formal Methods … proofs tracked in PROOF-NEEDS.md" (the Idris2 ABI is a totality-checked model; correctness theorems are still open). Historical release notes are left as-released.

Verification

  • All five reusables re-inspected at a44c93a for permission requests and required inputs (governance/hypatia/secret-scanner/mirror need only contents: read; callers already secrets: inherit where the reusable wants it).
  • Adapter and test counts measured from disk: ls opsm_ex/lib/opsm/registries/*.ex | wc -l = 114; grep -c 'test "' = 824, property " = 68.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Two mechanisms were killing five workflows at startup (0 jobs):

1. Empty Actions allowlist: the repo policy is "selected" with
   patterns_allowed=[], so every workflow referencing a non-GitHub-owned,
   non-verified action (dawidd6/action-send-mail, haskell-actions/setup,
   peter-evans/repository-dispatch, and the third-party actions inside
   the standards governance reusable) was rejected at plan time.
   Fixed in repo settings (patterns added); backup of the prior state
   kept in the session job dir.
2. Caller permission grants narrower than the called reusable workflow
   requests: scorecard-reusable needs security-events:write +
   id-token:write; a called workflow cannot escalate past the caller,
   so the run died at startup. scorecard.yml now grants them.

Also in this change:
- Bump all five standards reusable pins d135b05 -> a44c93a. This picks
  up the report-only Hypatia gate ("warn, fix forward") and the
  baseline-validation job that skips cleanly when no
  .hypatia-baseline.json exists - both are required status checks on
  main, so PRs were otherwise deadlocked.
- Remove invalid timeout-minutes from reusable-call jobs in
  secret-scanner.yml and mirror.yml (same class as cartridges#70).
- Pin trufflesecurity/trufflehog@main to the v3.95.6 SHA
  (sha_pinning_required is on; @main was rejected).
- Gate instant-sync dormant on INSTANT_SYNC_ENABLED: its
  FARM_DISPATCH_TOKEN was retired in the 2026-06-30 credential rebuild.
- README: correct stale counts to disk truth (114 registry adapters,
  824 tests + 68 properties), disclose the ~10 planned-registry
  adapters that resolve via git fallback, point the OPSM UI section at
  the in-repo opsm-ui/ directory (the separate GitHub repo does not
  exist), and reword "formal verification" to the honest "formally
  modelled" per PROOF-NEEDS.md.

The newly-adopted governance suite's workflow security linter anchors on
head -1; nine files had the copyright line first. Swap so the SPDX line
leads, matching the passing convention.

…uests (#63)

Secret Scanner was the last `startup_failure` on main: the gitleaks job
in `secret-scanner-reusable` requests `pull-requests: write` + `actions:
read`, and a called reusable workflow cannot escalate past the caller's
grant. Same mechanism as the scorecard fix in #61 — this caller was
missed because it wasn't among the sampled failing runs. One-line
permissions grant.
