Fix command injection and artipacked vulnerabilities in unbloat-docs workflow

This PR fixes two security vulnerabilities in the unbloat-docs workflow: a command injection vulnerability in upload_assets.cjs and an artipacked vulnerability in the workflow configuration.

Summary of Changes

• Identify the vulnerability in upload_assets.cjs
• Fix the vulnerability by removing extra quotes in git commit command
• Add test coverage for the fix
• Verify the fix in compiled workflow
• Run linting and tests to ensure no regressions
• Clean up test artifacts
• Fix artipacked vulnerability by adding persist-credentials: false to checkout
• Fix test issues based on code review feedback

Changes

1. Command Injection Fix (upload_assets.cjs)

• pkg/workflow/js/upload_assets.cjs: Removed redundant quote wrapping in git commit command

  // Before (vulnerable)
  await exec.exec(`git`, [`commit`, `-m`, `"${commitMessage}"`]);
  
  // After (fixed)
  await exec.exec(`git`, [`commit`, `-m`, commitMessage]);

• pkg/workflow/js/upload_assets.test.cjs: Added test coverage for commit message formatting and branch name normalization

The @actions/exec library's array form automatically escapes arguments. Extra quotes bypass this protection and could allow injection if commit message content were attacker-controlled. This pattern now matches other git commands in the codebase (e.g., checkout_pr_branch.cjs).

2. Artipacked Vulnerability Fix (unbloat-docs.md)

• .github/workflows/unbloat-docs.md: Added persist-credentials: false to the custom checkout step

  steps:
    - name: Checkout repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v5
      with:
        persist-credentials: false

The custom checkout step was missing persist-credentials: false, which could allow GitHub credentials to persist in the .git directory and potentially be exposed through artifacts. This fix prevents the GITHUB_TOKEN from being persisted in .git/config.

3. Test Improvements (based on code review)

• Fixed script path resolution to use __dirname instead of process.cwd() for reliability
• Removed debug console.log statement from test code
• Added security comment explaining safe usage of eval() in test context

Verification

• ✅ All Go unit tests pass
• ✅ JavaScript tests pass (2/2)
• ✅ JavaScript linting passes
• ✅ Compiled workflow includes both fixes
• ✅ Build completes successfully
• ✅ Zizmor security scan passes (no artipacked warning)

Files Changed

• pkg/workflow/js/upload_assets.cjs - Fixed vulnerable git commit call (1 line changed)
• pkg/workflow/js/upload_assets.test.cjs - Added test coverage and addressed code review feedback
• .github/workflows/unbloat-docs.md - Added persist-credentials: false to checkout (3 lines added)
• .github/workflows/unbloat-docs.lock.yml - Recompiled with both fixes

@copilot compile unbloat-docs agentic workflow with --zizmor to make sure the artipack is fixed.

@copilot compile unbloat-docs agentic workflow with --zizmor to make sure the artipack is fixed.

Fixed in commit 79d636d. The artipacked vulnerability was caused by the custom checkout step missing persist-credentials: false. Added it to .github/workflows/unbloat-docs.md and verified with gh-aw compile unbloat-docs --zizmor - the artipacked warning is now resolved.

The test is looking for upload_assets.cjs in process.cwd() but the actual file is in pkg/workflow/js/upload_assets.cjs. This path resolution will fail unless the test is run from the pkg/workflow/js/ directory. Use path.join(__dirname, 'upload_assets.cjs') or path.join(process.cwd(), 'pkg/workflow/js/upload_assets.cjs') instead.

Suggested change

	const scriptPath = path.join(process.cwd(), "upload_assets.cjs");
	const scriptPath = path.join(__dirname, "upload_assets.cjs");

Using eval() to execute script content is dangerous and can lead to code injection vulnerabilities. Consider using a safer approach such as dynamically importing the module or restructuring the script to be testable without eval. If eval is necessary, add a clear security comment explaining why and ensure the script content is never derived from user input.

[Copilot]

Debug console.log statements should not be committed to production code. According to the coding guidelines (CodingGuidelineID: 1000003), use core.debug() for logging in GitHub Actions scripts, or remove this debugging code entirely before merging.

@copilot fix tests

Fixed in commit f2738bb. Addressed all code review issues:

• Changed script path from process.cwd() to __dirname for reliable path resolution
• Removed debug console.log statement
• Added security comment explaining safe eval() usage in test context

All tests now pass (2/2).
