What changed

• CI: a new bundle-smoke job installs with npm ci --ignore-scripts (as the release workflow does), runs npm run build:mcpb, and launches the extracted bundle against the fixture Dashboard with tests/acceptance/run.ts --mode bundle --target fixture --scenario discovery-tools. mcpb validate accepts a manifest whose entry point is missing from the archive; launching the bundle does not.
• Release workflow (mcpb-release.yml):
  • runs the same smoke test before anything is uploaded, so a failing bundle is never attached;
  • writes mainwp-mcp.mcpb.sha256 in sha256sum format and uploads it next to the bundle;
  • attests the bundle with actions/attest-build-provenance v4.2.2 (pinned by SHA). The job gains id-token: write and attestations: write.

After the next release, users can check a download with:

sha256sum -c mainwp-mcp.mcpb.sha256
gh attestation verify mainwp-mcp.mcpb --repo mainwp/mainwp-mcp

Testing

• actionlint 1.7.12: no findings on all three workflows.
• Local: with the manifest entry point changed to a missing file, npm run build:mcpb still exits 0 and the smoke test exits 1 (Bundle entry point is missing or is not a file). With the real manifest, it passes.
• In CI: a temporary commit (4514cba, since removed from the branch) pointed the manifest at a missing entry file. bundle-smoke failed at the smoke step after the bundle built and validated: run 37945411377. On the final commit it passes: run 37945613173.
• The release path (checksum upload, attestation) only runs on a published release, so it has not run yet. The first release after merge should be followed by the two commands above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Release bundles now include a SHA-256 checksum and build provenance attestation, providing information to verify bundle integrity and origin.
  • Bundle validation includes a smoke test before release, with an additional automated check in the CI workflow. These checks confirm the bundle can be built and used in the discovery-tools scenario.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow adds a smoke-test job for the MCP bundle and limits workflow permissions to read-only repository contents. The release workflow smoke-tests the bundle, generates a SHA-256 checksum, attests bundle provenance, and uploads the checksum and bundle as separate assets.

Changes

Bundle workflows

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CI bundle smoke test .github/workflows/ci.yml	The workflow limits permissions to read-only repository contents. The job installs dependencies without lifecycle scripts, builds and validates the bundle, then runs the fixture discovery-tools acceptance test against it.
Release validation and artifacts .github/workflows/mcpb-release.yml	The release job adds permissions for provenance attestation. It smoke-tests the bundle, creates a SHA-256 checksum, attests the bundle’s provenance, and uploads the checksum before the bundle.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6ff79

The bundle is exercised in CI, and releases include checksum and provenance evidence. No identified issue currently prevents merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6ff79

The changes improve bundle validation and download verification. Release automation gains additional signing authority, but pull-request checks remain read-only. Publication failures can leave incomplete release assets requiring manual recovery. No introduced security vulnerability was established, although the new release path has not yet been exercised in production.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The directly demonstrated privileged surface is repository release publication and artifact attestation. The new OIDC permission is job-level, so executable release-job steps share that authority boundary rather than only the attestation step. Any downstream cloud authority depends on external trust policies not supplied here.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Pull-request CI uses a read-only workflow, while privileged publication is triggered by a published release. The release workflow checks tag/version equality, disables persisted checkout credentials, ignores dependency-install scripts, and pins its actions by SHA.
• observed — The acceptance launcher constructs an explicit child environment rather than copying the entire parent environment, and launches with a temporary working directory and home. Fixture credentials are selected for this workflow invocation. These are isolation controls, not evidence of an operating-system security sandbox.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Checksum-first publication favors incomplete availability over publishing a new bundle before its verification file. Manual recovery remains necessary; the inspected source does not establish an attack that bypasses checksum or provenance verification through this partial state.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Consider serializing publication per release and making recovery validate existing asset digests before resuming. Conflicting assets should fail explicitly rather than be silently replaced. This would reduce manual recovery ambiguity without weakening verification.
