What

Adds a *.intoto.jsonl SLSA provenance asset to each release.
Relates to opendefensecloud/solution-arsenal#673

Why

Release artefacts are cosign-signed keyless with a *.sigstore.json bundle
per file, which earns 8/10 on OpenSSF Scorecard's Signed-Releases check. The
remaining 2 points need a provenance file present in the release's assets.
We already run actions/attest, but it stores the attestation in GitHub's
attestation store, which Scorecard never inspects — so the check is capped
at 8/10.

Testing

Workflow logic exercised locally with act:

  • the provenance file stays out of checksums.txt
  • cosign skip it
  • it appears exactly once in the upload set

Not locally testable: actions/attest itself needs GitHub OIDC.

For remote testing on a release with attached attestation:
gh attestation verify --bundle -.intoto.jsonl

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Release packages now include a provenance attestation bundle for improved artifact verification.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated release signing behavior to avoid incorrectly signing provenance metadata files.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow now publishes the attestation bundle as an .intoto.jsonl release asset and excludes provenance bundles from the cosign signing loop.

Changes

Release provenance handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Publish and exclude provenance bundle
.github/workflows/release.yaml
The workflow exposes the attestation bundle path, copies it to bin/arc-${GITHUB_REF_NAME}.intoto.jsonl, and skips .intoto.jsonl files during signing.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1b464

The release workflow adds provenance assets with limited scope, but tags containing / can still make asset generation fail, and the verification example needs repository scope. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on these bounded issues.

Add repository scope to the verification example.

gh attestation verify requires --owner or --repo, including with a local --bundle. Use --repo opendefensecloud/artifact-conduit.

Normalize or reject slash-containing release tags.

The v* trigger accepts tags such as vrelease/1.2.3. GITHUB_REF_NAME then creates bin/arc-vrelease/1.2.3.intoto.jsonl, and cp fails because the directory does not exist. Normalize / before copying or reject such tags.
