fix(cla): store signatures off master, where a bot can write them - #3
Merged
Conversation
CLA Assistant records a signature by committing `signatures/version1/cla.json` directly to the branch it is pointed at. That branch was `master`, which a ruleset covers: every push needs a status check, and a bot commit carries none. So the write was rejected — "Repository rule violations found" — the signature was never stored, the check stayed red, and no outside contribution could be merged. The action's own error says it: the branch where signatures are stored must not be protected. Signatures now live on the unprotected `cla-signatures` branch, which holds that one file and a README explaining why it is off to the side.

CLA Assistant records a signature by committing
signatures/version1/cla.jsondirectly to the branch it is pointed at — no pull request, no checks. That branch wasmaster, which a ruleset covers, so the write is rejected:The consequence is not cosmetic: the signature is never stored, the
clacheck stays red for the contributor, and re-signing cannot help. No outside contribution can be merged.Signatures now go to the unprotected
cla-signaturesbranch — an orphan branch holding that one file plus a README saying why it sits off to the side, so nobody later "tidies it up" by protecting it. There was nosignatures/version1/cla.jsononmasterto migrate; no write had ever succeeded.This PR's own
clacheck will still fail —pull_request_targetruns the workflow from the base branch, so it uses the old config. The fix applies from the first PR opened after this merges.Same change as imqueue/redis-broker#2, rolled across every @imqueue repository with a CLA workflow and a protected default branch.
