feat(actions): signed-push composite action (verified commits via GitHub App)#509

… GitHub App) Estate primitive for the "AI tools can't operate GitHub" problem: automation commits made with a PAT/GITHUB_TOKEN are Unverified, so any branch requiring signed commits (`required_signatures`) is BLOCKED from merging (e.g. IDApTIK #28). signed-push mints a GitHub App installation token (actions/create-github-app-token) and delegates to Asana/push-signed-commits, which replays local commits through the createCommitOnBranch GraphQL mutation — GitHub signs those itself, so they land as Verified and satisfy the ruleset. - SHA-pinned: create-github-app-token v3.2.0, push-signed-commits v1. - README documents App setup + the ruleset bypass caveat for PR-only/merge-queue. BLOCKED (draft): requires the org to register the App and set APP_ID / APP_PRIVATE_KEY secrets before it can run/verify. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

#510) Follow-up to #509 (which merged the `signed-push` action). Adds a **manual** (`workflow_dispatch`) smoke test that proves the action produces GitHub-**Verified** commits end-to-end. ## What it does 1. Creates a throwaway branch `ci/signed-push-smoke-<run>`. 2. Commits a trivial change locally. 3. Pushes it via `./.github/actions/signed-push` (App token → `createCommitOnBranch`). 4. **Asserts** the resulting commit is `verified=true` (fails loudly if not — the classic "App not installed / wrong secret" case). 5. Deletes the throwaway branch. ## Before running Set on this repo (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions): - Variable **`APP_ID`**, Secret **`APP_PRIVATE_KEY`** — the estate GitHub App. Then: Actions → "signed-push smoke test" → Run workflow (on this branch). Green = Arm B1 works. Validated: `actionlint` clean, YAML parses, checkout SHA-pinned. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds
.github/actions/signed-push— an estate composite action that pushes a branch's local commits as GitHub Verified commits, using a GitHub App installation token +createCommitOnBranch(viaAsana/push-signed-commits).Why (Arm B1)
Automation commits made with a PAT or
GITHUB_TOKENare Unverified. Any branch whose ruleset enforcesrequired_signaturesthen cannot merge — this is exactly why IDApTIK #28 isBLOCKEDright now (all 4 commitsverified=false / unknown_key). A GitHub App authoring commits viacreateCommitOnBranchproduces Verified commits GitHub signs itself, satisfying the rule.The same App also unlocks
.github/workflowsedits (Workflows: write) anddelete_repo(Administration: write), retiring several "GitHub API won't let AI tools operate" blockers at once.Details
create-github-app-tokenv3.2.0 (bcd2ba4…),push-signed-commitsv1 (6e073ae…).required_signatures— the App may need adding to those rulesets' bypass list.⛔ Blocked / not yet verifiable
Requires the org to register the GitHub App and set
APP_ID+APP_PRIVATE_KEYsecrets before it can run. Draft until then. YAML validated (parses as a valid composite action); not runnable in CI without the App.Related
