[formal-spec] replace-label-compliance/README.md — Formal model & test suite — 2026-07-11

### Summary

The `replace-label-compliance` specification defines normative compliance fixtures for the `replace-label` safe-output type in GitHub Agentic Workflows. It formulates three core RL requirements (RL-001 glob semantics, RL-002 allowlist enforcement, RL-003 blocklist ordering) as structured YAML test scenarios that serve as the ground truth for conformance testing. This formal analysis extracts the underlying predicates — type invariants on label strings, partial-order properties on evaluation stages, and decision-function postconditions — and maps them into a Go testify suite that can run in-process without any JavaScript runtime dependency.

### Specification

- **File**: `specs/replace-label-compliance/README.md`
- **Focus area**: Label access-control decision pipeline for the `replace-label` safe-output type
- **Formal notation used**: F\* (pre/post contracts) + Z3-style SMT predicates + TLA+ for stage ordering

### Formal Model

<details>
<summary><b>Predicates and invariants (illustrative notation)</b></summary>

**P1 — GlobSemantics** *(from §4.1.2 RL-001, fixture rl-001)*
```fstar
// Star (*) matches any sequence of characters within a label name;
// character classes ([a-z]) are supported.
predicate GlobSemantics (pattern label : string) =
  gobwasGlob.Match pattern label
```

**P2 — AllowlistPermits** *(from §4.1.2 RL-002, fixture rl-002)*
```fstar
// An empty allowlist is universally permissive.
// A non-empty allowlist is restrictive: the label MUST match at least one pattern.
predicate AllowlistPermits (allowlist : list string) (label : string) =
  allowlist = [] \/ exists p <- allowlist, GlobSemantics p label
```

**P3 — BlocklistRejects** *(from §4.1.2 RL-003, fixture rl-003)*
```fstar
// A label MUST be rejected if it matches ANY blocked pattern.
predicate BlocklistRejects (blocklist : list string) (label : string) =
  exists p <- blocklist, GlobSemantics p label
```

**P4 — BlocklistBeforeAllowlist** *(from §4.1.2 RL-003 "security boundary")*
```tla+
-- TLA+ ordering invariant
LABEL_VALIDATION_ORDER ==
  /\ IF BlocklistRejects(blocked, label) THEN decision = DENY
     ELSE IF ~AllowlistPermits(allowlist, label) THEN decision = DENY
          ELSE decision = ALLOW
-- Corollary: a label blocked AND allowed is always denied
BlockOverridesAllow ==
  BlocklistRejects(blocked, label) => decision = DENY
```

**P5 — SchemaRequiredFields** *(from §4.2 RL-004, RL-005)*
```z3
; label_to_remove and label_to_add must be non-empty after trimming and
; must not exceed 128 characters.
(assert (and
  (> (str.len (str.trim label_to_remove)) 0)
  (<= (str.len label_to_remove) 128)
  (> (str.len (str.trim label_to_add)) 0)
  (<= (str.len label_to_add) 128)))
```

**P6 — RepoMaxLength** *(from §4.2.1 RL-006)*
```z3
(assert (<= (str.len repo) 256))
```

**P7 — CountGateExclusive** *(from §5.2 RL-010, RL-011, RL-012)*
```fstar
// count must be strictly less than max; equality means rejection.
// Default max = 5.
predicate CountGatePermits (count max : nat) = count < max
lemma DefaultMax : CountGatePermits 0 5 = true
lemma GateClosed  : CountGatePermits 5 5 = false
```

**P8 — LabelSetComputation** *(from §5.7 RL-029, RL-034)*
```fstar
// New label set = (current \ {label_to_remove}) ∪ {label_to_add}, deduplicated.
// When label_to_remove is absent the operation still succeeds.
let computeNewLabelSet (current : list string)
                       (toRemove toAdd : string) : list string =
  let without = List.filter (fun l -> l <> toRemove) current in
  List.dedupe (without @ [toAdd])
lemma MissingRemoveProceeds :
  ~List.mem toRemove current =>
  computeNewLabelSet current toRemove toAdd = List.dedupe (current @ [toAdd])
```

**P9 — StagedNoWrite** *(from §5.6 RL-027, RL-028)*
```fstar
// When staged = true, no GitHub write API must be called.
predicate StagedPrecondition (staged : bool) (apiCallsMade : nat) =
  staged = true => apiCallsMade = 0
predicate StagedResult (result : handler_result) =
  result.success = true /\ result.staged = true
```

**P10 — SingleRESTCall** *(from §6 RL-036, RL-043)*
```fstar
// Label replacement is executed via exactly one PUT call; separate add/remove
// calls are forbidden.
predicate SingleAtomicCall (putCalls addCalls removeCalls : nat) =
  putCalls = 1 /\ addCalls = 0 /\ removeCalls = 0
```

**P11 — BlocklistAppliesSymmetrically** *(from §4.1.2 RL-003)*
```fstar
// The blocked list applies identically to both label_to_add and label_to_remove.
predicate BlockedSymmetric (blocked : list string) (toAdd toRemove : string) =
  (BlocklistRejects blocked toAdd => decision_add = DENY) /\
  (BlocklistRejects blocked toRemove => decision_remove = DENY)
```

**P12 — RequiredLabelsGate** *(from §5.5 RL-024)*
```fstar
// All required-labels must be present on the item; absent required labels cause
// a skip (not a hard failure).
predicate RequiredLabelsSatisfied (required current : list string) =
  forall l <- required, List.mem l current
predicate GateSkip (skipped : bool) = skipped = true
```

**P13 — TitlePrefixGate** *(from §5.5 RL-025)*
```fstar
// The item title must start with required-title-prefix; otherwise skip.
predicate TitlePrefixSatisfied (prefix title : string) =
  prefix = "" \/ String.startsWith title prefix
```

**P14 — AddDeduplication** *(from §6.1 RL-041, RL-042)*
```fstar
// label_to_add appears exactly once in the final labels array.
lemma AddedOnce (result : list string) (toAdd : string) :
  List.count toAdd result = 1
```

**P15 — HardErrorOnSetLabelsFail** *(from §7.2 RL-046)*
```fstar
// REST call failure is a hard error; workflow must not be silently skipped.
predicate HardError (result : handler_result) =
  result.success = false /\ result.error <> None
```

### Usage

1. Copy `replace_label_compliance_formal_test.go` to `pkg/workflow/`.
2. Replace any `// stub` types with real handler result types from the production codebase.
3. Run: `go test ./pkg/workflow/... -run FormalCompliance`

### Context

- Spec processed: `specs/replace-label-compliance/README.md`
- Formal notation: F\* (pre/post contracts), Z3 (SMT arithmetic/string constraints), TLA+ (stage ordering)
- Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/29158344025

Predicate / Invariant	Test Function	Description
P1 — GlobSemantics	`TestFormalGlobSemantics`	Star and char-class glob matching from fixture rl-001
P2 — AllowlistPermits	`TestFormalAllowlistEnforcement`	Empty vs non-empty allowlist, add and remove directions
P3 + P4 — BlocklistRejects + BlocklistBeforeAllowlist	`TestFormalBlocklistOrdering`	Blocklist takes priority over allowlist; symmetric for add/remove
P5 — SchemaRequiredFields	`TestFormalSchemaRequiredFields`	Missing/empty/too-long label_to_remove and label_to_add
P6 — RepoMaxLength	`TestFormalRepoMaxLength`	repo field ≤ 256 characters
P7 — CountGateExclusive	`TestFormalCountGate`	count < max allowed, count = max rejected, default max = 5
P8 — LabelSetComputation	`TestFormalLabelSetComputation`	Correct set arithmetic; missing-remove proceeds
P9 — StagedNoWrite	`TestFormalStagedMode`	staged=true returns success+staged=true, no writes
P10 — SingleRESTCall	`TestFormalSingleRESTCall`	Verify exactly one PUT; no separate add/remove
P11 — BlocklistAppliesSymmetrically	`TestFormalBlocklistSymmetry`	blocked applies to both label_to_add and label_to_remove
P12 — RequiredLabelsGate	`TestFormalRequiredLabelsGate`	All required labels present → proceed; missing → skip
P13 — TitlePrefixGate	`TestFormalTitlePrefixGate`	Matching prefix → proceed; non-matching → skip
P14 — AddDeduplication	`TestFormalAddDeduplication`	label_to_add appears exactly once in output
P15 — HardErrorOnSetLabelsFail	`TestFormalHardErrorOnRESTFail`	REST failure yields success=false, non-nil error
Edge: Exact glob no-wildcard	`TestFormalGlobExactNoWildcard`	Exact pattern 'bug' does not match 'bug-fix'
Edge: Alias fields	`TestFormalItemNumberAliases`	issue_number/pr_number/pull_number resolve correctly
Edge: Cross-repo restriction	`TestFormalCrossRepoRestriction`	repo not in allowed-repos is rejected
