ci: harden GitHub Actions permissions, add job timeouts, concurrency and coverage reporting

Overview

This pull request hardens and optimizes the repository's continuous integration pipelines across several critical dimensions:

  1. Least-Privilege Token Permissions:

    • Adds top-level permissions: contents: read to .github/workflows/ci.yml and .github/workflows/zero-action-smoke.yml to prevent unintended privilege escalation from default workflow token scopes.
  2. Defensive Job Timeouts:

    • Adds explicit timeout-minutes (5 to 15 minutes) across all jobs to prevent runaway socket stalls, infinite loops, or deadlocks from blocking CI runners for up to 6 hours.
  3. Concurrency Control:

    • Adds concurrency with cancel-in-progress: true on PR events, automatically terminating obsolete intermediate runs when new commits are pushed.
  4. Windows Runner Performance:

    • Removes unnecessary choco install make overhead on Windows runners in the smoke matrix; runs native go test ./... and zero-release directly.
  5. Test Coverage & Summary Reporting:

    • Collects atomic test coverage (-coverprofile=coverage.out) and publishes an automated summary directly to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY.

Validation

  • Validated on clean main branch.
  • Passes all jobs cleanly across Linux, macOS, and Windows runners.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests

    • Automated quality checks now run in dedicated validation jobs.
    • Unit tests include race detection and coverage reporting.
    • Cross-platform smoke testing has been streamlined for more consistent results.
    • Performance checks now have clearer time limits and report handling.
  • Security

    • Vulnerability scanning continues with improved report collection and execution safeguards.

Walkthrough

The CI workflow adds concurrency cancellation and read-only permissions. It separates quality checks, race-enabled tests, and cross-platform smoke tests. Performance and security jobs gain timeouts, artifact handling, and updated action annotations.

Changes

CI workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Quality, testing, and smoke job separation
.github/workflows/ci.yml
Quality checks and race-enabled tests run in dedicated jobs. The smoke matrix retains cross-platform tests and binary execution without platform-specific Make validation.
Performance and security job hardening
.github/workflows/ci.yml
Performance and security jobs gain timeouts, read-only permissions, updated action annotations, and report handling. Vulnerability scanning remains blocking.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e4248

The workflow changes are generally mergeable, but the coverage-reporting step should be corrected because shell-lint violations could fail required CI checks and the published table currently mislabels and hides coverage details. This is a bounded follow-up rather than a release-blocking risk.

36-44: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reuse make fmt-check instead of re-implementing the format check.

The Makefile already defines fmt-check as gofmt -l $(git ls-files '*.go'). The inline step uses gofmt -l ., which scans every directory in the worktree, including untracked and generated files. The two definitions can produce different results and drift over time. The neighbouring steps already call make deadcode and make lint-static, so calling make here is consistent.

       - name: Check formatting
         shell: bash
-        run: |
-          unformatted="$(gofmt -l .)"
-          if [ -n "$unformatted" ]; then
-            echo "::error::gofmt needed on:" >&2
-            echo "$unformatted" >&2
-            exit 1
-          fi

In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Around line 83-98: Update the coverage summary block in the workflow run
script to quote every $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY expansion and group the repeated echo
output under a single redirection block, preserving the existing summary content
and loop behavior.
- Around line 87-96: Update the coverage summary generation to label the first
column as File rather than Package, matching go tool cover -func output. Remove
the arbitrary tail -n 25 truncation so all function rows are emitted, or sort by
coverage before intentionally limiting to the lowest-coverage functions;
preserve the details block and existing row formatting.
