Currently, "required checks" on PRs are hidden from maintainers, and can get out of sync with the reality of a repo. To fix this, we're adding a .github/required-checks.yml file, which lists the checks that must pass before a PR can merge into main.

When this file is changed, the ruleset that manages branch protection automatically gets synced up. The new Required checks workflow checks that all the checks listed in required-checks.yml exist.

(Sidenote: I'm increasingly wary of agents that have access to GitHub mistakenly (or potentially nefariously) doing things that could do us damage or cause us to have unexpected or high costs. That's why I'm using CODEOWNERS on a more frequent basis for files that are always worth just getting a second pair of eyes on. It's not a reflection on trust for maintainers 🙂)

The file adds the following Required Checks:

  • configlet / configlet
  • i18n / completeness
  • check
  • test
  • Validate required checks (rather recursively, I admit!)
