Summary

Add opt-in, time-gated required test task enforcement using tasks discovered from the build PipelineRun and trusted ITS PipelineRuns associated with verified test-result statements. Ordinary required build tasks remain build-provenance-only.

Key changes

  • Preserve trusted statement/provenance associations during in-toto verification.
  • Discover and normalize task names across build and trusted ITS PipelineRuns.
  • Add current-task denial and future-task warning rules for required-test-tasks.
  • Validate the new rule data with the existing task schema and RFC3339 checks.
  • Cover trust boundaries, multiple ITS runs, source isolation, parameterized task names, one-of alternatives, and time-snapshot transitions.

Verification

  • make ci
  • 1,136/1,136 Rego tests passed
  • Acceptance tests passed
  • 166 files linted with no violations

Jira: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/EC-2160

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release policy discovers trusted ITS PipelineRun test tasks and enforces scheduled required-test-tasks requirements. Trust APIs return statement/provenance records. Tests cover provenance, discovery, validation, effective dates, alternatives, and disabled enforcement. Documentation and navigation describe the new rules.

Changes

Required test-task enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verified provenance records
policy/lib/intoto/trust.rego, policy/lib/intoto/trust_test.rego
Trust helpers return verified statement/provenance records and support predicate filtering. Tests cover trusted, filtered, and untrusted attestations.
PipelineRun task discovery
policy/release/lib/attestations.rego, policy/release/lib/attestations_test.rego
The policy classifies v0.2 and v1 PipelineRun attestations, extracts normalized task names, and combines build and trusted ITS sources.
Scheduled test-task evaluation
policy/release/tasks/tasks.rego, policy/release/tasks/tasks_test.rego, policy/lib/time/time.rego, policy/lib/time/time_test.rego
The tasks package validates schedules, compares parsed RFC3339 instants, selects current and future requirements, and emits denial or warning results for missing tasks. Tests cover dates, alternatives, parameters, malformed data, and omitted configuration.
Policy documentation and navigation
antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/packages/release_tasks.adoc, antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/release_policy.adoc, antora/docs/modules/ROOT/partials/release_policy_nav.adoc
Documentation and navigation list the new rules, configuration, effective dates, and source references.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2161b

The PR adds opt-in, time-gated enforcement for required test tasks while preserving existing build-task behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Review

Findings

High

  • [api-contract] policy/release/lib/attestations.rego — The new _statement_subject_matches_image rule references input.image.digest, but this field is not used anywhere else in the codebase (0 grep matches). The established pattern throughout the codebase is image.parse(input.image.ref).digest (see policy/release/test_attestation/test_attestation.rego:318 which performs the exact same subject-digest matching operation). The acceptance sample (policy-input-golden-container.json) confirms input.image has keys config, parent, ref, signatures, source — no digest key. If the runtime does not populate input.image.digest, the rule will never be satisfied, causing its_pipelinerun_attestations to always be empty and silently disabling the entire ITS test-task enforcement mechanism. The tests mock this field with with input.image.digest as "sha256:abc123" which conceals the issue.
    Remediation: Replace input.image.digest with image.parse(input.image.ref).digest, matching the established pattern in test_attestation.rego. Add import data.lib.image to attestations.rego.

Previous run

Review

Findings

Low

  • [logic-error] policy/release/tasks/tasks.rego:231 — The required_test_tasks_found deny rule omits the required_task in latest_required_test_tasks.tasks guard present in the analogous required_tasks_found rule (line 205). The test test_current_required_test_task_remains_denied_until_replacement_is_effective confirms this is intentional — retired test tasks remain denied until the replacement epoch becomes current. The asymmetry is undocumented.
    Remediation: Add a code comment explaining the intentional asymmetry with the build-task deprecation pattern.

  • [stale-doc] THREAT_MODEL.md:44 — Lines 44–47 and 105–108 state that only the test_attestation package uses lib/intoto's verified_statements path. After this PR, policy/release/lib/attestations.rego also uses verified_statement_provenances_by_predicate for ITS PipelineRun task discovery.
    Remediation: Update both occurrences in THREAT_MODEL.md to include the tasks package's usage.

  • [missing-doc] example/data/required_tasks.yml — No required-test-tasks example entry exists. Users referencing this file as a configuration template won't see the new key's expected format.
    Remediation: Add a commented-out or minimal required-test-tasks example entry.

Previous run (2)

Review

Findings

Low

  • [Missing retirement guard / pattern asymmetry] policy/release/tasks/tasks.rego:231 — The deny rule for required_test_tasks_found omits the required_task in latest_required_test_tasks.tasks guard that the analogous required_tasks_found rule uses (line 205). In the build-task rule, this guard prevents denying a task that is currently required but scheduled for removal in a future entry. The test test_current_required_test_task_remains_denied_until_replacement_is_effective explicitly validates this stricter (fail-closed) behavior for test tasks, confirming it is intentional. Adding an inline comment explaining the deliberate divergence would help future readers.

  • [missing example data] example/data/required_tasks.yml:99 — The example data file demonstrates pipeline-required-tasks and required-tasks but does not include an example for the new required-test-tasks key. Users relying on these examples to configure their data sources will not discover the new key. Consider adding a required-test-tasks section with sample entries following the same effective_on/tasks format.

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Moderate risk: despite XXL size and large blast radius, the PR is well-structured with matching test files (36% ratio), documentation updates, no security-sensitive or protected paths, an established author, and an opt-in time-gated design that limits deployment risk.
