/cve-check answers 'what are we exposed to that an upgrade would fix?' without
running an upgrade: per-recipe, resolve the available window for EVERY image
(sidecars included), run the advisory scan over it, adjudicate whatever pass 1
could not decide, publish a report. Read-only — no PRs, no CI, no merges.
/cve-check-and-upgrade does that sweep, then runs /recipe-upgrade only on the
recipes whose upgrade actually closes a CVE, worst severity first, and reports
on both. --min-severity high for just the urgent ones; --dry-run prints the
queue and stops. Never merges.
Deliberate choices, each written into the skills:
- externals are SWEPT but never upgraded here — a security sweep that skipped
deployed software would misreport exposure, but we don't maintain them.
- an unknown count never justifies an upgrade AND is never treated as clean;
it goes to the Addendum.
- no upgrade available means 0 CVEs, not '?'.
- subagents are told which CVEs justify their upgrade, so the PR says why it
exists — a PR naming the RCE it closes gets reviewed sooner.
recipe-report.py grows a page kind: 'cve' files as cve-DATE.html so a sweep
can't overwrite a weekly edition, while BOTH appear in the same archive index,
suffixed 'full report' / 'CVE check'.
/help and /cc-ci-status updated to route to them.
Operator decision: no policy difference between cc-ci and recipe-maintainer. On
inspection ARM already agrees (recipe-upgrade-cron-all: 'PRs are reviewed and merged
manually by a human afterwards... never merges anything'; 'no human review in the
middle' = skip the mid-run plan confirmation only). Wrappers previously framed this
as a cc-ci override over ARM auto-merge flows — wrong reading; now stated as ONE
unified rule. /help conventions updated to match.
The repo already vendored ARM as the references/recipe-maintainer submodule (old
repo name recipe-maintainers/recipe-maintainer, pinned 460eba0). Rather than carry
two copies, drop the just-added vendor/ duplicate and:
- retarget references/recipe-maintainer to
ssh://git.autonomic.zone/recipe-maintainers/autonomic-recipe-maintainer.git
(same lineage — 460eba0 is an ancestor) and bump to latest acd5cfb, which also
refreshes the parity-test SOURCE reference the tests cite.
- gen-cctest-skills.py + all 30 cctest-* wrappers + /help now point at
references/recipe-maintainer.
- JOURNAL.md: pending session entries (server-update policy addendum, tests-update,
orchestrator-update, upgrade-run notes).
One operator interface for both toolkits (operator decision 2026-08-04):
- vendor/autonomic-recipe-maintainer: ARM pinned as a submodule at acd5cfb (latest).
- scripts/gen-cctest-skills.py: generates a cctest-<name> wrapper pair
(.opencode canonical + .claude thin) for every ARM skill — frontmatter carries ARM's
own description tagged [recipe-maintainer/cctest]; body points at the canonical
submodule SKILL.md, sets cwd/sandbox context, and states the policy overrides
(auto-merge-style ARM flows need per-run operator opt-in; never touch cc-ci infra
from an ARM skill; submodule is read-only here). Re-run after every submodule bump.
- 30 cctest-* wrappers generated.
- /help: cctest family section + situation-table rows + the cc-ci-vs-cctest rule of thumb.
cctest = the recipe-maintainer test server; these skills run against it + the ARM
sandbox, never against the cc-ci CI server/swarm.
