Add GitHub Action to enforce architect approval for strict version pins #44117

Copilot · 2025-11-20T17:58:54Z

Implementation Complete ✅

Recent Changes:

Fixed cspell issues in all relevant files:

Added  to the README
Added # cspell:ignore pyproject kashifkhan annatisch johanste to the workflow YAML
The Python script already had the cspell ignore comment

All three files that reference technical terms and architect usernames now have file-specific cspell ignore comments.

Original prompt

Implement a GitHub Action workflow that blocks merging a PR if it introduces a new strict version pin (e.g., package==version) in a main runtime dependency section (install_requires for setup.py, [project] dependencies for pyproject.toml) inside any file matching /sdk//setup.py or /sdk//pyproject.toml, unless an architect—a user in the set {kashifkhan, annatisch, johanste}—has approved the PR. The workflow should:

Only consider main package dependencies and ignore new pins in dev/test/extras or comments

Execute on pull requests touching the relevant files

Analyze the diff to detect only newly introduced or modified pins (changes from broader constraints to strict == as well as additions)

Block merging unless one of the specified architects leaves an approval review.

Also, update CODEOWNERS to require approval from kashifkhan, annatisch, or johanste for /sdk//setup.py and /sdk//pyproject.toml files.

All workflow and CODEOWNERS changes should be compatible with downstream branch protection rules to guarantee enforcement.

Provide a clear workflow file and CODEOWNERS proposal for review.

@copilot help me fix the CI errors

Fixed the CI errors in commit c2684be:

Added pull-requests: write permission - The workflow needs write access to post comments on PRs
Moved README file - Relocated README-strict-version-pins.md from .github/workflows/ to .github/ to avoid CI validation issues with non-workflow files

The workflow should now pass CI checks.

Removed the codeowner names from the README in commit 45517b7. The documentation now refers to "designated architects" instead of listing specific usernames.

@copilot Can we make sure that we are writing clean pythonic code and lets fix the spelling issues or by file ignore them rather than cpsell ignoring the whole scripts path

Made the code more pythonic and switched to file-specific cspell ignore in commit ee75f22:

Code improvements:

Added proper type hints with Optional and return type annotations
Reordered imports (standard library first, alphabetically)
Simplified logic with clearer variable names (is_added, is_removed, is_context)
Removed unused imports
Improved readability throughout

Cspell handling:

Removed .github/scripts/** from global ignore paths
Added # cspell:ignore pyproject comment at the top of the file for file-specific spell check ignore

Reverted the accidental change to eventgrid setup.py in commit f93a1ae. The file now has typing-extensions>=4.6.0 instead of the strict pin ==4.6.0 that was introduced in the testing commit.

Fixed the cspell issues by adding the architect usernames (kashifkhan, annatisch, johanste) to the file-specific cspell ignore comment in commit 044c899.
