From 002b93e3d7dcbaa0ec34400d619c7939591fe9ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jonathan D.A.

The estate's signal-discipline standard puts repository-level measurements in the PERIODIC tier: on a schedule against the default branch, feeding one dashboard — not on every event. Measured across 303 scorecard workflows before this sweep: 199 push, schedule, workflow_dispatch 93 branch_protection_rule, schedule, push 1 push, pull_request, schedule, workflow_dispatch 1 schedule, workflow_dispatch <- the target shape So roughly 292 repositories ran a full posture scan on EVERY push to the default branch. That is pure cost: a supply-chain score cannot meaningfully change between two consecutive merges, and it never gated anything. WHAT IS DELIBERATELY KEPT: schedule the point of the tier workflow_dispatch manual re-run when one is actually wanted branch_protection_rule event-driven re-measurement of precisely what Scorecard scores. It fires on a settings change, not per pull request, so it does not violate the PERIODIC rule — and it keeps the score honest after exactly the change most likely to alter it. Only `push` and `pull_request` are removed. `pull_request` existed in one repository and was the genuine violation; `push` was the cost. Related, and the reason this matters beyond minutes: Scorecard was ALSO required as a `code_scanning` tool in 78 repositories at alertsThreshold=all, while producing code-scanning results in essentially none — because it does not emit per-commit SARIF. That made it an estate-wide merge blocker asking to do something it does not do. Those requirements have been removed separately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 Signed-off-by: Jonathan D.A.
