Why

The repository still ran contributor-assistant/github-action with a hardcoded allowlist that predates Google Jules. Every Jules pull request failed the cla check because google-labs-jules[bot] was not allowlisted and a bot cannot post the signing comment. The legacy workflow also needed contents: write on pull_request_target.

What

  • Replace .github/workflows/cla.yaml with the organization-standard github-script gate used in dicechess-engine (bot accounts and OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR are exempt, contents: read only).
  • Add .github/cla-signatures.json (the in-repo signature registry) and CLA.md (the agreement the gate refers to).
  • Remove the empty legacy registry cla-signatures/version-1/signatures.json.

Note: pull_request_target workflows run from the base branch, so the new gate first executes on the next pull request after this merges.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a version 1.0 Contributor License Agreement, records a contributor signature, removes the previous empty registry, and replaces the CLA Assistant workflow with read-only pull request validation.

Changes

CLA verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLA contract and signature registry
CLA.md, .github/cla-signatures.json, cla-signatures/version-1/signatures.json
Adds CLA v1.0 terms and signing instructions. Records one signature in the new registry format. Removes the obsolete empty registry.
Pull request CLA validation
.github/workflows/cla.yaml
Adds a read-only pull_request_target check. The workflow validates the base-branch CLA version and PR-head signatures, handles exemptions and malformed data, and reports the CI: CLA result.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d816

The new CLA gate may accept incomplete signatures while unnecessarily publishing contributor personal data. Remove the unused email and enforce the required signature fields before merging.

Remove the unnecessary email address.

Line 7 stores personal data that the workflow does not use and that CLA.md does not require. This exposes the address to every repository reader and retains it in repository history. Remove email unless the registry has a documented collection purpose and contributor notice.

Validate the complete signature entry before success.

Line 104 accepts { "github": "<author>", "claVersion": "1.0" } even though the signing instructions require a full name and an ISO date. This lets a pull request pass with an incomplete signature record. Require an object with non-empty github and name, plus a valid YYYY-MM-DD date, before accepting the matching CLA version. Do not require email, because the agreement does not require it.

Replace contributor-assistant/github-action, which relied on a hardcoded
allowlist and needed contents: write on pull_request_target, with the
github-script CLA workflow already used in dicechess-engine. Bot accounts
(google-labs-jules[bot], dependabot[bot], ...) and repository insiders are
exempt; outside contributors sign by adding themselves to
.github/cla-signatures.json in their first pull request, as described in
CLA.md.

The legacy signature registry was empty, so nothing is migrated.
