Problem

Visible changes came with before/after images only when their author took screenshots, and nothing checked that someone looked at what changed before merging.

Changes

CI draws the screens of a pull request and of its base in one job, and a bot posts what changed.

  • Draw screens (macOS) renders the docs images and the scenes with the pull request's app and with its base's, each beside its own resources and examples. Draw website screens captures the four pages of site/ at desktop and phone size, light and dark, with a seeded Math.random and a stopped clock. They run when the app, the scenes, the examples, the website or the comparison change, with the pull request's code and a read-only token.
  • compare-screens.mjs finds the changed pixels and crops before, after and difference images to the change. A page that grew is compared from the top and cropped from its first change.
  • Screens (screens.yml) runs from the default branch with the write token, one reconcile per pull request at a time. It reads the artifacts as untrusted data and re-encodes every image, uploads the changed screens to a monthly pr-previews-YYYY-MM pre-release, keeps one comment up to date, and sets a Visual review status: success when nothing changed, pending until a maintainer adds visual-ok, failure when drawing failed.
  • visual-ok approves the screens the comment showed when it was added. A later push with other screens takes it off, a changed base sends the review back to pending, and closing without merging deletes the images. Running Screens again only brings a pull request up to date.
  • CONTRIBUTING's "Before and after screens" section, AGENTS.md and the pull request template describe it.

The last of three stacked pull requests: #395, #396, then this one.

Testing

  • node --test .github/scripts/*.test.mjs: 59 tests, which the existing Test pull request checks job runs. Every safeguard in the scripts was checked by breaking it on purpose: a test fails each time.
  • A GPT-6.1 Sol review (seven Important findings and one Minor) and several automated security reviews. Every finding is fixed, with a test.
  • Two rehearsals on the fork M4n0x/StableBar, pull requests Support yabai in workspace widgets #6 to feat: scale the bar per display type and hide empty workspace widgets #11 there, on GitHub's runners: a docs-only change (no screens, success, no comment), a starter clock change (6 scenes changed, 18 unchanged), a website change and a page that grows, visual-ok added and removed, a CI rerun keeping the approval, a second push taking the label off, a base change, closing and reopening, a rerun of Screens changing nothing, and a merge keeping the images. A pull request from another fork and failing jobs were not exercised live; the tests cover them.

The comment on the rehearsal's website page that grows, and on the starter clock change (from the first rehearsal, before the table said "image pixels"):

Comment on a page that grows

Comment on the starter clock change

The bot starts once screens.yml is on main, since workflow_run and pull_request_target run the default branch's copy: this pull request draws its screens but gets no comment.

For the owner, after merging: create the visual-ok label, and once it has run for a while, consider requiring Visual review. The pr-previews-* pre-releases show in the Releases list, never as the latest.

Merging

A merge commit, after #396.

@M4n0x
ci: compare screens drawn from a pull request and its base
6cb66ca 
compare-screens.mjs compares every PNG of two folders, the base's and the pull request's. A pixel
changes when a channel moves by more than one step, and a changed pixel with no changed neighbour
is noise. For each changed screen it writes the before, after and difference, cropped to the
changed region, and adds the screens to manifest.json, with a note for a scene the base couldn't
draw. png.mjs reads and writes 8-bit RGB and RGBA PNGs with no dependencies.
@M4n0x
ci: write the screens comment and decide the visual review
f5695c7 
screens-comment.mjs checks an artifact's files (only PNG images and the manifest, each under
10 MB, at most 300), fingerprints the changed screens from their after images, writes the comment
with the changed screens and the unchanged ones folded, and decides the Visual review status:
success when nothing needs a look or visual-ok approved these exact screens, pending while
changed screens wait, failure when drawing failed. Descriptions fit GitHub's 140 characters.
@M4n0x
ci: bind visual-ok to the screens shown and keep artifact text inert
4af35b0 
The pull request's own CI job writes the screens artifact, so its names and messages are
untrusted. A message could add a second data block that approved its own screens, and a new
failure left visual-ok in place.

- readManifest checks the manifest field by field, and every image it names must be in the
  artifact. validateArtifact takes only regular files and a manifest under 1 MB.
- Names and messages reach the comment only in code spans, so they can't mention, link or hide
  anything, and the review line shows none of them.
- The data is the comment's last line, its JSON can't end the HTML comment early, and only the
  bot's own comment is read.
- The fingerprint covers each screen's status and every failure, so a new failure clears
  visual-ok. Label events recompute the status from the data alone.
- A comment too long for GitHub drops the images of its last screens.
- compare-screens reports names the bot can't show as failures, and carries the base's error as
  data.
@M4n0x
ci: capture the website for the before/after comparison
848a293 
capture-site.mjs draws each page of a site folder at desktop and phone size, and the
home page in dark mode too. It answers requests from the folder instead of a local
server, which dropped connections when Chrome opened several at once, and fetches
nothing else. Reduced motion, a fixed clock and a wait for every image to decode
make two captures of one commit match.
@M4n0x
ci: serve the website capture only files inside its folder
2f62d54 
fileFor followed symbolic links, so a link in site/ could serve a file from outside it.
It now compares real paths and serves the real file.
@M4n0x
ci: hold the website's clock and random numbers still for captures
bb67b73 
The redrawn home page animates a canvas scene from Math.random on animation frames,
so two captures of one commit differed. Each document now gets a seeded Math.random,
and each page a clock paused at the fixed time that runs 5 seconds of timers and
frames before the capture. Every page has a dark mode now, so all four are captured
in both modes.
@M4n0x
ci: draw the screens of pull requests and their base
241df70 
Draw screens renders the docs images and the scenes with the pull request's app and
with its base's, each beside its own resources and examples, and compares them into the
screens-app artifact. Draw website screens does the same for the website's pages. Both
run the pull request's code with a read-only token and stay out of the release jobs.
They run when the app, the scenes, the website or the comparison change.

A base build that writes no scenes.json, because it can't draw scenes yet, shows every
scene as new with a note. A broken image on the website now gets a warning instead of
failing the capture, since it shows in the comparison like any other change.
@M4n0x
ci: run the screen scripts when called through a symbolic link
fc3c74b 
Node names a module by its real path, so compare-screens.mjs and capture-site.mjs did
nothing, and exited without an error, when the path they were called by went through a
link, as /tmp does on macOS. They now resolve that path first.
@M4n0x
ci: publish the before/after screens and the visual review status
fc0c0de 
screens.yml runs from the default branch when CI completes on a pull request, and when a
pull request is labelled, unlabelled or closed. It reads the screens artifacts as data,
uploads the changed screens' images to a monthly pre-release, writes one comment, and sets
the Visual review status on the head. visual-ok approves the screens the comment shows; a
later run that draws other screens takes it off. Closing without merging deletes the
pull request's images.

The logic is in screens-bot.mjs, tested against a fake GitHub:
- a fork's run is found by its branch and head, and a run for an older head is skipped;
- a screens job skipped because the release build failed is a failure, not "no screens";
- the comment links the URLs GitHub answers with, since it renames special characters;
- each artifact holds only its own kind of screens, each image named after its screen;
- a failure of the bot itself marks the head with an error status.
@M4n0x
docs: explain the before/after screens and visual-ok
76f0933 
CONTRIBUTING gains a Before and after screens section: what Draw screens and Draw website
screens draw and when, the comment, where the images live and when they're deleted, the
Visual review status, when visual-ok comes off, and that a pull request changing the
drawing decides what its own comparison shows. AGENTS.md and the pull request template
now point visible changes at the bot's comment and at scenes, instead of screenshots.
@M4n0x
ci: fail the visual review when CI's screens jobs are missing or skipped
f9ffd40 
The bot took a job missing from the run as skipped, and a skipped screens job as "no
screens to compare", while the pull request decides its own CI's jobs. It now takes only
runs of .github/workflows/ci.yml, counts a missing job as a failure, and reads the pull
request's changed files from GitHub: a screens job they call for that was skipped fails the
review. A test keeps the bot's file patterns the same as the Check revision job's.

CONTRIBUTING asks maintainers to reload before adding visual-ok, since it approves the
screens the comment shows at that moment.
@M4n0x
ci: crop screens of a new height from their first change, with more c…
79ef7b3 
…ontext

A website page whose height changed was posted as two whole pages, about 2880 by 11840
pixels, without a difference. Screens of one width are now compared from the top: the
crops run from the first change, or from where the shorter one ends, across the full
width, for at most 1,600 rows, with a difference. A new width still shows both whole.

Crops get 48 pixels of context instead of 24, which was 12 points at 2x and 8 at 3x, and
are at least 480 by 160 pixels, moved inside the image near its edges. The comment's
table now says "image pixels", since phone captures are drawn at 3x.
@M4n0x
ci: draw screens when the examples the scenes read change
4ba28af 
A scene can draw a configuration from examples/, as the Essentials clock popup does, but
a change there skipped Draw screens and the review said there were no screens to compare.
examples/ now calls for screens in the Check revision job and in the bot.
@M4n0x
ci: upload only images the bot decoded and encoded itself
2db63e5 
The artifact check looked at a PNG's first eight bytes, so a file holding only the
signature, or anything after it, could be uploaded as a screen. The bot now decodes every
image its screens name, within limits checked before anything is inflated, and uploads
its own encoding of the pixels. The fingerprint hashes the pixels too, so an approval
holds whatever encoder drew them.

decodePNG refuses images over 20,000 by 100,000 or 80 million pixels, chunks cut short,
and image data that inflates past the image's size.
@M4n0x
ci: bind visual-ok to the whole after image, not only its crop
0b966b0 
A crop shows at most 1,600 rows, so a second change further down a long page could leave
the crop, and so the fingerprint and visual-ok, as they were. Changed and resized screens
now carry a digest of their whole after image, and the fingerprint includes it beside the
bot's own digest of the crop. The pull request's CI computes that digest, as it draws
every screen. A comment whose crop stops short says it shows the first 1,600 rows.
@M4n0x
ci: fail the review when drawn screens are missing
47ebccb 
A screens job that succeeded but uploaded no screens passed as "0 screens, none changed",
and an image a scenes report listed but nobody drew went unnoticed. compare-screens now
reports each image the pull request's scenes.json lists that wasn't drawn, and the bot
refuses an artifact that holds no screens, or none of those it always has: docs images
from Draw screens, website screens from Draw website screens.
@M4n0x
ci: spread pull request screens over releases with room
23b972f 
A GitHub release holds 1,000 assets, and every publication chose the month's one release,
so a full month failed every pull request's screens until someone deleted images. Uploads
now go to the first of the month's releases with room, pr-previews-YYYY-MM, then -2 and
on, created as needed. A rerun of a head first deletes its earlier images, wherever they
are.
@M4n0x
ci: reconcile each pull request's screens one event at a time
b754ec9 
Publications and label events ran in separate queues and wrote the same comment and
status, so a label reconcile could restore a stale comment and success over a newer
failure, and a run could publish after its pull request closed and its images were
deleted. A base change kept the status of the old comparison.

Every event now runs one reconcile of its pull request, in one queue per pull request.
plan() reads where it stands: closed, or the newest finished CI run for its head, by run
and attempt, against what the comment shows. The workflow downloads that run's artifacts
and apply() rechecks the pull request and publishes, reviews or cleans up. GitHub keeps
only the newest waiting event, so nothing depends on which events ran: visual-ok
approves when it was added after the comment began showing the screens, by GitHub's
clock, and the same screens on a later run keep that time. A base other than the one the
screens were drawn against sends the review back to pending until a new run.
@M4n0x
docs: describe the screens reconcile, crops of new heights and full r…
8932b9b 
…eleases

The Before and after screens section now says when Screens runs and that running it again
only brings a pull request up to date, how screens of a new height are cropped, that the
images move on to -2 and on when a month's release is full, when visual-ok approves, and
that a changed base sends the review back to pending.
@M4n0x
ci: tie published screens to their own run, base and moment
962ad26 
Three ways the reconcile could approve or publish the wrong screens:
- A run that started before the base changed, published after, recorded the new base,
  and kept an approval given against the old one. The base change now comes from
  GitHub's base_ref_changed events: a run created before the latest one waits for a new
  run, and an approval doesn't carry across it.
- For a fork, the newest run at the pull request's head commit counted, though another
  fork's pull request at the same commit has runs of its own. Only runs from the pull
  request's own head repository and branch count now.
- shownAt was read before the uploads, so a label added during them approved screens
  the comment didn't show yet. New screens now take the time the comment was written,
  from GitHub's reply, and a publication cut short before that is repaired by the next
  reconcile from the comment's last write.
@M4n0x
ci: compare no screens for a branch that several pull requests share
5d8436e 
Two open pull requests from one branch, against two bases, get CI runs with the same head
repository, branch and commit, and GitHub lists every pull request of the branch on each
run, so one pull request's reconcile could publish the other's run, compared against the
other base. The bot now fails the review of both, saying why, until one of them closes.
A failed review's line in the comment now just points above.
@M4n0x
ci: keep a closed sibling's CI runs out of a pull request's screens
7c7b0e4 
Once the other pull request from a shared branch closed, the bot compared screens again,
and its newest run at the shared commit could be the closed one's, drawn against the
other base. The bot now stops whenever another pull request from the branch, open or
closed, is at the same commit, which a new commit ends. A branch reused for one pull
request after another, such as a fork's main, isn't affected: its old pull requests are
at older commits.

The comment now says visual-ok was taken off because it was added before these screens
appeared, which covers a label added too early as well as one for other screens.
@M4n0x
ci: show a reopened pull request's screens again at once
4b36ebb 
Closing deletes a pull request's images, but its comment still named the run it showed,
so on reopening the bot saw nothing new to publish until the reopened pull request's CI
was done. Meanwhile the comment said its images were deleted while the review said
approved. Closing now forgets the run, so the reopen publishes the last run's screens
again, and the same screens keep their approval.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 6b525

Visual review can briefly show an outdated approval if a pull request advances while a base-change event is waiting and pull-request reads fail. The workflow is mergeable with awareness of this narrow reconciliation risk.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 6b525

The design separates pull-request execution from privileged publication and validates images before publishing them. No concrete privilege-escalation or approval-bypass concern was established. Some assurance remains dependent on repository permissions and recovery behavior that were not verified in operation.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The new publisher holds repository content, issue, pull-request, and status write permissions, plus Actions read permission. Intended writes affect preview releases and assets, PR comments and labels, and commit statuses in the base repository. Compromise of this privileged workflow would therefore have broader repository authority than the read-only PR screen producers.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The stale-run branch fallback can wake reconciliation for a current same-branch PR without a matching triggering SHA, but that alone does not establish cross-PR artifact injection. The subsequent selection independently filters the chosen PR's current CI run, rejects same-commit sibling ambiguity, and checks the head again before publication. The fallback's production frequency remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — PR artifacts cross into privileged publication as data, not imported code. The reader restricts file types, names, sizes, manifest fields, and referenced images. Accepted PNGs undergo bounded decoding and fresh encoding before upload; untrusted comment text and stored data are escaped.
  • observed — Approval uses the live label list and GitHub label-history timestamps relative to when the comment showed the content. Lookalike comments from ordinary users are ignored. The failure helper only writes an error status and uses an event-payload fallback only for the same requested PR number.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Error-status handling reduces stale review-state exposure but cannot guarantee invalidation during API failure or workflow interruption. A failed lookup may prevent identifying the current head, and a failed status write can leave the previous status until later reconciliation. Whether this affects merge enforcement depends on repository rules not supplied here.

47-58: Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Report a failed Plan step as an errored Visual review.

Only the Apply step calls bot.failRun. plan() makes several GitHub API calls, for example pulls.get, pulls.list, listWorkflowRuns, listJobsForWorkflowRun and listFiles. If one of these calls throws, the Plan step fails. Apply then does not run, because it has the default if: success(). In that case the new head gets no Visual review status at all, and its CI run already finished, so no later workflow_run event creates one. If Visual review is a required check, the pull request waits for a status that never comes. The failRun docstring in screens-bot.mjs says it exists to prevent exactly this. A manual rerun of the Screens workflow is the only way to recover.

Wrap the Plan step in the same try/catch. Take the pull request number from the event payload when plan() cannot supply it. For fork runs, workflow_run.pull_requests is empty, so that case still has no number. You can close that gap by calling failRun after pullRequestOfRun resolves the number.

Pin the Playwright version.

npm install playwright@1 takes the newest 1.x release on each run. A new Chromium build can change text anti-aliasing. The before and after captures of one run still match, because they share a job. The afterDigest of a later run on the same commit can differ, so the digest-based approval check can remove visual-ok after a rerun with no code change. zizmor also reports an ad-hoc install outside a lockfile.

Pin an exact version, such as playwright@<major.minor.patch>. Raise it in a deliberate change. A lockfile with npm ci also works.

From CodeRabbit's review:
- Only Apply marked a head errored when the bot failed, so a Plan step that failed on one of
  its GitHub calls left the head without a Visual review status, which a required check
  would wait for. The Plan step now finds the pull request as plan() does, for a fork's run
  by its branch, marks its head errored, and fails.
- Playwright installed the newest 1.x, so a rerun weeks later could capture a page with a
  newer Chromium and report text a pixel off as a change, taking visual-ok off. It's pinned
  to 1.64.1, to be raised on purpose.

Both points from CodeRabbit's review are fixed in 6fb68bf:

  • A failed Plan step left no status. Only Apply marked a head errored, so a Plan step that failed on one of its GitHub calls left the head without a Visual review status, which a required check would wait for. The Plan step now catches the failure, finds the pull request the way plan() does (for a fork's run, by its branch, through the new pullRequestNumber), marks its head errored, and rethrows. A test covers a fork's run whose planning fails.
  • Playwright floated on 1. It's pinned to 1.64.1, the version the captures were checked with, so a rerun can't report text a newer Chromium draws a pixel differently as a change. Raising it is a deliberate change.

- Around line 58-59: Update `failRun` so that when its `pulls.get` request
fails, it creates the error status using `github.event.pull_request.head.sha` as
a fallback for open `pull_request_target` base-edit events. Preserve the
existing open-pull-request safeguard for other event types, and add a test where
both `pulls.get` calls fail that verifies the error status is posted to the
event head.

ci: mark the event's head errored when GitHub can't say where it stands
6b52545 
From CodeRabbit's review: when a reconcile failed reading the pull request, failRun read it
again, and if that failed too, no error status was set. After a base change, the head then
kept the old comparison's status. A label, edit or close event carries its pull request, so
failRun now falls back on it. A CI run carries none, and still fails loudly.
