Chris Farhood 25fe4107e6 fix: address QA findings on detect-pipeline workflow
- Fix subdirectory matching: use prefix match for .github/* paths
  instead of exact dirname match (fixes .github/workflows/ not matching)
- Upgrade tj-actions/changed-files from v44 to v47 (Node 24 support)
- Extract detection logic into scripts/detect-pipeline.sh for testability
- Add 22 automated tests in scripts/test-detect-pipeline.sh covering
  infra-only, plugin code, mixed, and edge cases
- Add test-detection-logic CI job to run tests on every PR
- Update README.md to reference v47

# GitHub Actions Workflows
This directory contains reusable and repo-specific GitHub Actions workflows for the privilegedescalation organization.
## Available Tools on Runners
### Always Available
- `curl` - HTTP client (use this instead of `gh` CLI for API calls)
- `jq` - JSON processor
- `bash` - Shell
- `git` - Version control
- `docker` / `podman` - Container runtime (depending on runner)
### NOT Available (must install if needed)
- `gh` CLI - GitHub CLI is **not** pre-installed on runners. Use `curl` with the GitHub API instead.
## Best Practices
### GitHub API Calls
Instead of using `gh` CLI (which is not installed), use `curl` with the GitHub API:
```yaml
- name: Set PR label
env:
GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
PR_NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
run: |
curl -sf \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${GH_TOKEN}" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
"https://api.github.com/repos/${REPO}/issues/${PR_NUMBER}/labels" \
-d '{"labels":["label-name"]}'
```
### Workflow Validation
Run actionlint locally before pushing:
```bash
actionlint -color .github/workflows/*.yaml
```
### Reusable Workflows
- `plugin-ci.yaml` - Standard CI for Headlamp plugins
- `plugin-e2e.yaml` - E2E testing for Headlamp plugins
- `dual-approval-check.yaml` - Checks for CTO and QA approval
- `detect-pr-pipeline.yaml` - Detects Pipeline A vs Pipeline B based on changed files
## Workflow Naming Convention
- Use kebab-case: `my-workflow.yaml`
- Be descriptive: `plugin-ci.yaml` not `ci.yaml`
- For reusable workflows, keep the name clear about its purpose
## Required Gates
All PRs must pass:
1. `actionlint` validation (workflow YAML syntax)
2. Shell script validation (if scripts are used)
3. Any repo-specific CI checks
## Common Patterns
### Getting Changed Files
Use `tj-actions/changed-files`:
```yaml
- name: Get changed files
id: changed-files
uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v47
with:
files_separator: '\n'
```
### Setting Job Outputs
```yaml
- name: Set output
id: detect
run: |
echo "pipeline-type=pipeline-a" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
```
Access in downstream jobs: `${{ jobs.job-name.outputs.pipeline-type }}`
