Pin the reusable workflow to a reviewed commit SHA.

@main is mutable, and this job inherits repository secrets. An upstream change can execute code with this repository’s trust and secret context on every push. Replace @main with a reviewed commit SHA, and review the nested nix-cachix-setup@main reference.

Legitimate, declining here. Both refs you name are org-wide: all sixteen consumers use @main for the workflow, and the workflow itself uses nix-cachix-setup@main. The org does pin the nix shell via RAINIX_SHA (dbcd9d3… today), so the discipline exists and is applied to one of the two refs. Pinning this consumer alone would leave fifteen unpinned and diverge this file from them. Filed as rainlanguage/rainix#368.

@thedavidmeister, understood. The mutable references remain a valid security concern, but an organization-wide fix in rainlanguage/rainix#368 is the correct scope. Keeping this consumer consistent with the other consumers is reasonable for this PR.

Learning: In rainlanguage GitHub Actions workflows, sixteen consumers currently call the shared `rainlanguage/rainix` reusable workflow using `main`, and that workflow uses `nix-cachix-setupmain`. The organization pins the Nix shell through `RAINIX_SHA`. Address reusable-workflow and nested-action SHA pinning as an organization-wide Rainix change, tracked by `rainlanguage/rainix#368`, rather than changing one consumer in isolation.

GitHub Actions reusable workflows workflow_call secrets explicitly passed secret must be defined secrets inherit documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, reusable workflows do not automatically receive access to secrets from the caller workflow [1][2]. You must explicitly provide secrets using one of two methods: explicit mapping or the inherit keyword [3][2]. 1. Explicit Mapping: If you do not use secrets: inherit, you must define the secrets in the reusable workflow under the on.workflow_call.secrets key [4][5]. The caller workflow must then explicitly map the secrets it wishes to pass to the reusable workflow using the jobs.<job_id>.secrets key [3][4]. If a caller passes a secret that is not defined in the reusable workflow's on.workflow_call.secrets configuration, the call will fail with a parsing error [4][6]. 2. Inheritance (secrets: inherit): The secrets: inherit keyword allows a reusable workflow to automatically access all secrets available to the caller workflow (including organization, repository, and environment secrets) [3][7]. When secrets: inherit is used, it is not strictly required to define the secrets in the reusable workflow's on.workflow_call configuration, though it is still considered a best practice to document expected secrets [3][8][5]. Key Considerations: - Security Boundary: Using secrets: inherit is a broad permission grant that exposes all secrets available to the caller to the reusable workflow [9]. This is primarily intended for workflows within the same organization or enterprise and should be used cautiously [3][10]. - Nested Workflows: Secrets are only passed to the directly called workflow [3]. If you have a chain of reusable workflows (e.g., A calls B, and B calls C), workflow C will not receive secrets from A unless they are explicitly passed or inherited at each step in the chain [3][10][4]. - Precedence: When using secrets: inherit, the available secrets are determined by the caller's scope [7]. Environment secrets are read when the job referencing the environment starts, and if a secret exists at multiple levels (organization, repository, environment), the lowest-level secret takes precedence [11].

Citations:

Pass only the secret required by the reusable workflow.

The called workflow uses only secrets.CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN, but its workflow_call declares no secrets. Add CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN to that contract, then replace secrets: inherit with an explicit mapping.

Proposed caller change 
-    secrets: inherit
+    secrets:
+      CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN }}

Confirmed, and it cannot be fixed here. rainix-copy-artifacts.yaml is on: workflow_call: with no secrets: block, while line 15 uses secrets.CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN — so secrets: inherit is currently the only way it can see that token, and there is no contract for a caller to map to. rainix has to declare it first. Filed as rainlanguage/rainix#366, which covers this and both sibling findings on this file.

@thedavidmeister, thanks for confirming and filing the upstream issue. Your analysis is correct. The reusable workflow's workflow_call trigger has no secrets: block. A caller cannot map a secret that is not declared in that contract. secrets: inherit is the only working option until rainlanguage/rainix#366 adds the declaration in rainix-copy-artifacts.yaml. I will not raise this again on this line until that upstream change lands.

Learning: In rainlanguage/rain.extrospection.deploy, `.github/workflows/git-clean.yaml` calls the reusable workflow `rainlanguage/rainix/.github/workflows/rainix-copy-artifacts.yamlmain` with `secrets: inherit`. This is required because the reusable workflow's `on.workflow_call` trigger declares no `secrets:` block, even though it uses `secrets.CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN` internally. Callers cannot switch to an explicit secrets mapping until rainix declares the secret in its `workflow_call` contract. Tracked upstream as rainlanguage/rainix#366.
