In @.github/workflows/valian-fireway.yml:
- Around line 3-31: The reusable workflow does not declare the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN
secret required by the Slack step (it reads secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN), so add a
workflow_call secrets declaration for SLACK_BOT_TOKEN; specifically, under
workflow_call add a secrets: block with SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: required: true so the
secret is passed into the workflow when invoked.
- Around line 43-53: The workflow is using mutable action refs
(actions/checkout@v6,
valian-ca/github-workflows/.github/actions/setup-pnpm@main,
valian-ca/github-workflows/.github/actions/gcp-github-auth@main,
google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v3); replace each mutable tag with the
corresponding full commit SHA for those actions so they are pinned immutably,
e.g., update the uses entries for actions/checkout, the two valian-ca internal
actions, and google-github-actions/setup-gcloud to reference their specific
commit SHAs (and consider adding Dependabot/Renovate config to automate future
SHA updates).
- Around line 65-73: Change the Slack notification step condition from using the
negated success check to GitHub Actions' failure() so cancellations don't
trigger alerts: update the step with name "notify Slack of failure" (id "slack")
to use if: failure(); also note that secrets can't be directly checked in if
conditions—if you need to guard against a missing SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, populate a
job-level env var from the secret and check that env var in the condition
instead.

Expose SLACK_BOT_TOKEN in workflow_call secrets.
The Slack step (Line 73) reads secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, but reusable workflows must explicitly declare secrets; otherwise the token is unavailable and the action will fail or no-op.

GitHub Actions best practices pinning commit SHA vs tags security
💡 Result:
Short answer
- Prefer pinning third‑party actions to a full-length commit SHA (immutable) for security; tags/branches are mutable and can be moved to malicious code. [1][3]
When tags may be acceptable
- Tag (or semver) pins are OK only for actions/releases that are provably immutable (GitHub immutable releases / “immutable actions”) or when you fully trust and control the action’s repo/author. Even then prefer a process that validates immutability. [2][5]
Practical best practices
- Pin to full commit SHAs for third‑party actions by default. This is the only current guarantee of immutability. [1][3]
- Enforce SHA pinning via enterprise/org/repo allowed‑actions policy when possible. [2][3]
- Automate updates (Dependabot, Renovate, pinning bots) so you can review and merge SHA bumps rather than using mutable tags. [3][8]
- Prefer Verified creators and audit action source code (or use actions from your org). Avoid “unpinnable” actions that pull remote code at runtime. [1][3]
- Block known‑bad actions and use policy blocklists, secrets least privilege, and other workflow hardening (reuse rules, OSSF/scorecards). [2][3]

[8] Guidance on automating SHA pin updates (Dependabot/renovate/pinning tools).
Pin GitHub Actions to commit SHAs to harden supply-chain security.
Using mutable references like @main and major version tags (e.g., @v3) introduces supply-chain risk, as tags can be reassigned to different commits. GitHub's official security guidance recommends pinning all actions to full commit SHAs for immutability. While actions/checkout@v6 (v6.0.1) and google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v3 (v3.0.1) are valid and documented, they should be pinned to specific commit SHAs instead of version tags.
For internal actions in valian-ca/github-workflows (currently pinned to @main), also switch to commit SHAs to enforce consistency and prevent accidental code changes.
Consider automating SHA pin updates using Dependabot or Renovate to keep actions current while maintaining security.

GitHub Actions success() failure() cancelled() step if condition semantics
💡 Result:
Short summary of semantics and gotchas
-
Default: an omitted if on a job or step is treated as if: success() (i.e., run only when prior required steps/jobs succeeded). [1][2]
-
success(): true when all previous steps (in the same job) or all needed jobs (for job-level if with needs:) succeeded. Use to run only on overall success. [2][3]
-
failure(): true when any previous step (or any needed job in a dependency chain) has failed. Note: using failure() in an if overrides the default success() status check. You can combine it with extra predicates (e.g., failure() && steps.foo.conclusion == 'failure'). [2][3]
-
cancelled(): true when the workflow or job was cancelled. Use to run steps/jobs only when cancellation occurred. [2][3]
-
always(): returns true even if cancelled; it forces execution unconditionally (including during cancellation). Because always() still runs when a workflow is cancelled, GitHub recommends using if: ${{ !cancelled() }} when you want "always except when cancelled". [2][4]
-
Evaluation during cancellation: when a workflow is cancelled GitHub re-evaluates job-level and then unfinished step-level if conditions. Jobs/steps whose if evaluates true may continue; others get cancelled. Runners send SIGINT/SIGTERM to canceled steps and eventually kill them. [4]
-
needs: interaction: job-level status-check functions (success/failure/cancelled) consider the status of needed jobs (ancestors). A job without an explicit status-check function behaves like if: success() && (your other conditions). failure() returns true if any ancestor job failed. Skipped ancestors can cause a dependent job to be skipped under success(). [3][5]
Practical rules
- Use explicit status functions when you need behaviour different from the default.
- To run cleanup on failure or cancellation, prefer separate steps with if: ${{ failure() || cancelled() }} or use an always() step but guard with !cancelled() if you must avoid running during cancellation. [2][4]
- Remember YAML quoting rules: use ${{ }} (or quote) when expressions start with !. [6]

🌐 Web query:
GitHub Actions secrets in if condition expression whether allowed
💡 Result:
Short answer: No — GitHub Actions does not allow directly referencing secrets in an if: expression. Use a non-secret value (env var, step output) derived from the secret and test that instead. [1][2]
Why and alternatives:
- Official docs: "Secrets cannot be directly referenced in if: conditionals." Recommend setting secrets as job-level environment variables or producing a non-secret result and using that in if. [1]
- Common workaround: read/inspect the secret in a step (or set an env at job/step level) and emit a boolean output or env var, then use that output/env in later if: checks. (Examples and community discussion). [2][3]
References:

- GitHub Docs — Expressions / if conditionals. [2]
- Community discussion / workaround examples. [3]
Use failure() instead of !success() to avoid Slack alerts on workflow cancellations.
When a run is cancelled, !success() evaluates to true, causing unnecessary Slack notifications. Use failure() to alert only on actual failures. Note: secrets cannot be checked in if conditions in GitHub Actions; if the token is missing, the step will fail. If you want to guard against that, set a job-level environment variable from the secret and check that instead.
