* [AI] Harden GitHub Actions workflows against low-severity security issues - generate-release-pr.yml: replace `eval` with an associative array for per-package version tracking. The version input was already moved to an env var in #7433, so this removes the remaining defense-in-depth concern of `eval`ing subshell output. - create-release-notes-file.js: validate the OpenAI-returned category against the known allow-list (Features, Bugfixes, Enhancements, Maintenance), validate the author against the GitHub username regex, and collapse the summary to a single line before embedding it in the markdown body. Prevents indirect prompt-injection via CodeRabbit comments from producing malformed YAML frontmatter. - generate-summary.js: stop logging the full CodeRabbit comment body to CI logs. - netlify-release.yml, i18n-string-extract-master.yml: pass secrets via `env:` blocks rather than as CLI arguments, so they do not appear in argv / process listings. https://claude.ai/code/session_012pZSkUBbabmmuaxbwysW33 * Add release notes for PR #7448 * [AI] Address review feedback on security hardening - create-release-notes-file.js: stop logging the full fileContent body. Only log the target filename plus the (already-validated) category and author metadata, so the model-generated release-note text doesn't end up in CI logs. - create-release-notes-file.js: validate summaryData.prNumber as a positive integer before using it in the file path or commit message, and switch both usages to the validated numeric value. - i18n-string-extract-master.yml: write the Weblate API key into ~/.config/weblate under a [keys] section in a new "Configure Weblate API credentials" step, then drop the per-step env blocks and the --key CLI flag from every wlc invocation so the secret is no longer visible in process listings at all. https://claude.ai/code/session_012pZSkUBbabmmuaxbwysW33 * [AI] Remove debug console.log statements for category in release notes script Remove the four "Debug - ..." console.log calls that printed the raw category env var (value/type/JSON-stringified form) plus the cleanCategory value. They were clutter in CI logs; the existing info-level "Creating release notes file: ... (category: ..., author: ...)" log already surfaces the sanitized category. https://claude.ai/code/session_012pZSkUBbabmmuaxbwysW33 --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
