Why

OpenSSF Scorecard reads this repository at 7.7. Of the four checks holding it there, Pinned-Dependencies (4/10) is the one a pull request can fix: ten pip install lines in the workflows resolved against PyPI at run time.

What

  • Every pip install in a workflow installs from a hashed lock. requirements/*.txt, written by scripts/lock.sh with uv pip compile --universal --generate-hashes, installed with --require-hashes; then the checkout with --no-deps. One universal lock serves the 3.11 to 3.14 matrix. pyproject.toml's floors are unchanged.
  • Dependabot moves the locks, weekly and grouped, on requirements/ only. Inputs live in requirements/in/ so Dependabot does not mistake them for a pip-tools pair and regenerate the locks with pip-compile.
  • scorecard-gate.yml runs Scorecard's file-based checks on every pull request and fails it if any would come back below what main publishes today. Floors: Pinned-Dependencies, Token-Permissions, Dangerous-Workflow, Binary-Artifacts, Vulnerabilities, SAST, Fuzzing, Packaging, Security-Policy, Dependency-Update-Tool at 10; License at 9 (local mode cannot confirm the OSI listing).
  • Tests: test_every_pip_install_in_a_workflow_is_pinned mirrors Scorecard's rule; test_every_lock_a_workflow_installs_from_exists_and_is_hashed; test_the_scorecard_gate_runs_on_every_pull_request; the Dependabot test now expects the pip entry.

Verified

Check Before After
Scorecard CLI v5.5.0 --local, Pinned-Dependencies 4 10
Every other file-based check at floor at floor
pip-audit --disable-pip --no-deps on all six locks no known vulnerabilities
Fresh venv, pip install --require-hashes -r requirements/ci.txt then --no-deps -e . installs, every extra imports
tests/test_repository_signals.py and the two workflow-facing tests elsewhere 27 passed

Expected effect on the published score

Pinned-Dependencies 4 to 10 moves the aggregate from 7.7 to about 8.1 on the next push to main.

Not in this PR

Code-Review (0) and Branch-Protection (errored) both need a second human with write access approving pull requests; CII-Best-Practices (0) needs the maintainer to register on bestpractices.dev. Those are tracked separately.

Unverified

Dependabot's first weekly run on requirements/ has not happened yet. If it cannot update a uv-written lock in place, scripts/lock.sh regenerates them by hand and the gate keeps the pins honest either way.

…uest

OpenSSF Scorecard reads this repository at 7.7, and Pinned-Dependencies at 4 is the
part a pull request can fix: ten `pip install` lines resolved against PyPI at run time,
so what a workflow installed was whatever was published that morning. Every one of them
now installs from a `requirements/*.txt` that `scripts/lock.sh` writes with `uv pip
compile --universal --generate-hashes`, under `--require-hashes`, and then the checkout
itself with `--no-deps`. One universal lock serves the whole 3.11 to 3.14 matrix. The
version floors in pyproject.toml are untouched: they are what a user may install
against, and the locks are what CI does.

Dependabot gets a pip entry on `requirements/` alone, weekly and grouped. The inputs
live one directory down in `requirements/in/`, because an `x.in` beside an `x.txt` is
a pip-tools pair to Dependabot and it would regenerate the lock with pip-compile, which
knows nothing of `--universal` or of extras read from pyproject.toml.

`scorecard-gate.yml` runs Scorecard's file-based checks against every pull request's
tree and fails it if any would come back below what main publishes today, so an
unpinned install, a widened token, a dropped policy or a vulnerable pin is red before
the merge rather than a lower badge after it. `tests/test_repository_signals.py`
asserts the same `pip install` rule the check does, so the suite catches it first.

Verified: the Scorecard CLI (v5.5.0, checksum-verified) in `--local` mode reads this
tree at 10 on Pinned-Dependencies and at its floor on every other file-based check;
`pip-audit` finds no known vulnerability in any of the six locks; a fresh venv
installs `requirements/ci.txt` with `--require-hashes` and the checkout with
`--no-deps` and imports every extra.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b5d98

CI and release paths can still download and execute an unverified build backend, so the hash-only dependency guarantee should be completed before merge.

Pin the build backend for root editable installs.

--no-deps does not disable PEP 517 build isolation. Add an exact, hash-pinned setuptools requirement to each lock file, then use --no-build-isolation --no-deps -e . for the root installs at lines 58, 245, 311, and 412.

Comment thread .github/workflows/publish.yml
… from PyPI

`--require-hashes` constrains what pip installs and says nothing about the environment pip
and `build` create to run the PEP 517 backend, which fetched setuptools unpinned on every
editable install and on the publish path. CI's own log showed it: "Installing build
dependencies: started". `requirements/in/backend.in` now rides in every lock, every editable
install passes `--no-build-isolation`, every `python -m build` passes `--no-isolation`, and
the tests hold both. Found by CodeRabbit on #165.

Verified: a fresh venv installs `requirements/ci.txt` under `--require-hashes`, installs the
checkout with `--no-deps --no-build-isolation` with no build-dependency fetch, and builds the
sdist and wheel with `--no-isolation`; pip-audit finds nothing in any lock; the Scorecard CLI
still reads Pinned-Dependencies at 10.
