Issue

scylla-3.x releases enable Maven debug output and send unsanitized stdout/stderr to the console and uploaded logs. The artifact step is skipped when publishing fails.

Fix

Backport the credential safeguards from #1242, remove debug defaults, enable GPG best practices and retain the upstream Central publishing 0.12.0 pin. Capture and sanitize every Maven invocation in the release job, retaining both output streams in maven-stdout on success and failure.

Retain the current helper across target checkouts and check the selected target before importing signing credentials. Only scylla-3.x and tags whose preceding commit passes the safety check are supported. The target POM must explicitly declare a numeric Central publishing plugin version of at least 0.11.0. Publish SCM changes before uploading artifacts.

Oversized output is withheld while Maven drains normally; its exit status is preserved. Cancellation stops the process group, and incomplete streams produce safe diagnostic logs. Preserve the 3.x matrix, README version stamp and MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE mapping.

Align signing setup with the merged Java driver 4.x configuration: pin setup-java v6.0.1 and use explicit credential environment inputs, with MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE as the passphrase variable.

📝 Walkthrough

The release guard validates release settings and Maven options, runs Maven with captured and redacted output, and writes sanitized logs. Makefile release targets and release workflows use the guard. The release workflow validates supported targets and uploads logs after failures. A new workflow runs the guard and release-script unit tests. The POM enables GPG best-practice checks and updates the Central Publishing plugin.

Disable checkout credential persistence.

The subsequent test command executes repository code. Checkout otherwise persists the job token in Git configuration until cleanup, where that code can read it. Set persist-credentials: false on this checkout. (github.com) Based on learnings, jobs that execute build or test code should not persist checkout credentials.

Reject a non-scylla-3.x dispatch ref.

When target-tag is scylla-3.x, the check accepts any dispatch ref. GITHUB_SHA comes from the selected ref. A commit on another branch can pass the guard and publish. Require GITHUB_REF == refs/heads/scylla-3.x for this target.

Proposed fix
-          elif [[ "$TARGET_TAG" != 'scylla-3.x' ]]; then
-            echo "::error::Use scylla-3.x or a safe 3.x release tag. Other branches are unsupported."
-            exit 1
+          elif [[ "$TARGET_TAG" != 'scylla-3.x' ]]; then

🐞 Bugs (2)



🟠 Medium

1. A release can pass without Central publishing 🐞 Bug
Description
check_pom accepts a Central publishing plugin found anywhere beneath the root POM, including an
inactive profile or pluginManagement. If that is the root's only declaration, the pre-credential
check passes even though the release does not activate the publishing extension.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R92-94]

+    if is_root and not any(plugin.findtext("m:artifactId", namespaces=ns) ==
+                           "central-publishing-maven-plugin" for plugin in plugins):
+        raise Unsafe("pin Central publishing before releasing this target")
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The root publishing check accepts declarations in inactive profiles or plugin management, so it can pass without an active publishing extension.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[91-94]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[237-249]
## Recommended Fix
Require the root Central publishing plugin in the build plugin declarations used by the release, and test that a declaration only in an inactive profile or plugin management does not satisfy the requirement.

2. Existing raw logs remain in release logs 🐞 Bug
Description
write_logs appends sanitized output to stdout.log and stderr.log without inspecting or
replacing their existing contents. When RELEASE_LOG_DIR points to a directory containing raw logs,
those bytes remain alongside the new output, and the artifact step uploads the files if they are in
its configured directory.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R213-214]

+            with (logs / (name + ".log")).open("ab") as output:
+                output.write(data)
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Appending sanitized Maven output preserves any raw content already present in the log files.

## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[207-216]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[388-412]

## Recommended Fix
Ensure existing log contents cannot be retained in an artifact: use invocation-specific fresh files or sanitize existing contents before appending. Add a test with a pre-existing raw log.

Resolved findings
1. Quoted release arguments enable debug logs ✓ Resolved
Description
check_text fails to recognize a wholly quoted -Darguments property, so its value is never added
to the options scan. When .mvn/maven.config contains "-Darguments=-X", the guard accepts it
while Maven can pass the debug option to the release plugin’s nested invocation, which the guard
does not intercept.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[62]

+            option_arguments.append((setting[2] or "") if name == "arguments" else "")
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
A wholly quoted `-Darguments` entry can evade inspection of options forwarded to nested Maven.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[50-64]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[298-308]
## Recommended Fix
Normalize quoting as Maven interprets it before identifying property names and extracting `arguments` values. Add a regression test for a wholly quoted property in `.mvn/maven.config` that forwards `-X`.

ⓘ Copy this prompt and use it to remediate the issue with your preferred AI generation tools


2. Clustered logging options pass the guard ✗ Dismissed
Description
check_text requires another hyphen after its optional boolean prefix, so it misses clustered Maven
arguments such as -BX and -Blraw.log. When those arguments arrive through the guarded command,
MAVEN_ARGS, or .mvn/maven.config, the existing leading--X check also misses them and Maven can
receive debug or log-file options.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R95-97]

+            r"(?:^|[\s=\"'])(?:-[BCNUVXcehoqv])?"
+            r"(?:--?X\b|--?debug\b|--?log-file(?:[=\s]|$)"
+            r"|--l(?:[=\s]|$)|-l(?!lr(?:[\s\"']|$)))", text
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The new scan misses clustered short options such as `-BX` and `-Blraw.log`, allowing logging options through the pre-launch check.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[93-98]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[277-308]
## Recommended Fix
Recognize dangerous short options within valid Maven short-option clusters, including an attached log filename. Test the command line, `MAVEN_ARGS`, and `.mvn/maven.config` paths.

3. A missing publishing plugin passes checks ✓ Resolved
Description
check_policy validates Central publishing declarations it encounters but never requires one to
exist. If the target POM omits the plugin, the pre-credential check succeeds and the release
proceeds to the guarded Maven targets without the required publishing declaration.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[98]

+        if plugin.findtext("m:artifactId", namespaces=ns) == "central-publishing-maven-plugin":
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The pre-credential check accepts a target POM with no Central publishing plugin.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[93-105]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[192-205]
## Recommended Fix
Track whether the root POM declares the Central publishing plugin and reject the target if it does not. Test a POM with the declaration removed.

ⓘ Copy this prompt and use it to remediate the issue with your preferred AI generation tools


4. Release check passes when the publishing plugin version is missing ✓ Resolved
Description
check_policy guards the Central publishing version validation with if version and (...), so a
missing or empty <version> skips the rejection branch. On a release target without an explicit
version, this passes the check before signing and Sonatype credentials are imported, leaving Maven
to resolve a plugin version.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R99-104]

+            version = plugin.findtext("m:version", namespaces=ns)
+            if version and (
+                not re.fullmatch(r"[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+", version)
+                or tuple(map(int, version.split("."))) < (0, 11, 0)
+            ):
+                raise Unsafe("update Central publishing before releasing this target")
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`check_policy` skips Central publishing version validation when `<version>` is missing or empty, allowing such declarations through the pre-credential check. Missing and empty versions must be rejected without resolving inherited configuration.

## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[98-104]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[192-245]

## Recommended Fix
Strip the version text and raise `Unsafe("update Central publishing before releasing this target")` if it is missing or empty, does not match `[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+`, or is below (0, 11, 0). Add tests that remove the `<version>` element and leave it empty, asserting that `check_policy` raises in both cases.

5. A capture failure leaves child processes running ✓ Resolved
Description
capture returns a completed Maven parent's status on an ordinary capture exception without
terminating its process group. If a descendant is still running when a selector or pipe read fails,
the guard closes its pipes and exits while that descendant continues; the repository's
inherited-pipe test demonstrates that a child can outlive its parent.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R393-396]

+        if isinstance(error, Exception) and completed_status is not None:
+            if not logs_started:
+                write_logs([FAILED_LOG, FAILED_LOG], logs)
+            return completed_status if completed_status >= 0 else 128 - completed_status
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
On a capture exception, Maven's parent may have exited while a child in its process group remains active. The completed-status branch returns without cleaning up that child.

## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[390-396]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[796-828]

## Recommended Fix
Preserve the completed Maven status, but terminate and reap any remaining process-group descendants before returning. Add a test with a real child that outlives its parent and a capture failure after the parent exits.

6. Harmless property values block releases ✓ Resolved
Description
check_text treats = as an option boundary, so the new -l alternative rejects the harmless
Maven argument -Dfoo=-l. A guarded Maven invocation with that property fails its safety check
before Maven starts, even though -l is the property's value rather than a log-file option.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R95-97]

+            r"(?:^|[\s=\"'])(?:-[BCNUVXcehoqv])?"
+            r"(?:--?X\b|--?debug\b|--?log-file(?:[=\s]|$)"
+            r"|--l(?:[=\s]|$)|-l(?!lr(?:[\s\"']|$)))", text
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The new Maven option regex mistakes `-Dfoo=-l` for a log-file option because it accepts `=` as an option boundary.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[93-98]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[277-308]
## Recommended Fix
Check Maven option tokens without treating text inside a system-property value as a separate option. Add a safe `-Dfoo=-l` case for each Maven argument source.

7. Unqualified child POMs evade safety checks ✓ Resolved
Description
check_policy traverses a declared child POM but passes it to checks that recognize only elements
in the hard-coded Maven XML namespace. If that child uses unqualified XML elements, its unsafe GPG
or Central plugin overrides are not inspected, and its own modules are not traversed.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R126-129]

+        pom = ET.parse(path).getroot()
+        check_pom(pom, ns, path == root_pom)
+        for module in pom.findall(".//m:modules/m:module", ns):
+            pending.append(path.parent / (module.text or "").strip() / "pom.xml")
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
A declared child POM without an XML namespace is parsed, but its policy settings and nested modules do not match the namespace-qualified queries.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[116-129]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[251-278]
## Recommended Fix
Support unqualified elements throughout child policy checks and module discovery, or explicitly reject a child POM whose namespace cannot be inspected. Add a reactor test with an unqualified child containing an unsafe override.

ⓘ Copy this prompt and use it to remediate the issue with your preferred AI generation tools


8. Unsafe module signing settings pass checks ✓ Resolved
Description
check_policy parses only the root pom.xml, so its GPG and plugin checks never examine
child-module POMs. The release reactor includes modules with their own GPG plugin configuration; an
unsafe override in one of those POMs reaches Maven without being rejected by the pre-credential
check.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[90]

+    pom = ET.parse(root / "pom.xml").getroot()
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The guard checks only the root POM although Maven releases child modules that can configure signing independently.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[88-109]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[205-234]
## Recommended Fix
Discover the POMs in the release reactor and apply the relevant GPG and plugin-declaration checks to each one. Add a test with an unsafe child-module override.

ⓘ Copy this prompt and use it to remediate the issue with your preferred AI generation tools


9. Unwrapped releases can bypass log safety ✓ Resolved
Description
check_policy searches each Makefile line for both $(MVNCMD) and a release: goal, so it accepts
a release recipe that separates them with a shell line continuation. If a release command is
formatted that way, the pre-credential check passes but the recipe runs Maven without the capture
guard, allowing raw output to reach the console.
Code

scripts/release/guard.py[R133-135]

+        for line in makefile.read_text().splitlines():
+            if re.search(r"\$\(MVNCMD\).*\brelease:", line) and "$(RELEASE_GUARD)" not in line:
+                raise Unsafe("release target must use sanitized log capture")
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The policy's line-by-line Makefile check misses an unwrapped Maven release command split across continuation lines.

## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/release/guard.py[131-135]
- scripts/release/test_guard.py[168-180]

## Recommended Fix
Validate complete release recipes rather than individual physical lines, including shell continuations, and add a test in which `$(MVNCMD)` and `release:perform` appear on separate lines.

Trim whitespace before validating the Central publishing version.

Maven trims surrounding XML whitespace from <version> values. The guard validates the raw ElementTree text, so indentation or newlines around 0.12.0 can cause a valid pin to fail.

treating a missing value as empty so the existing missing-version guard remains
effective.

Disable checkout credential persistence.

Fixed. The checkout in the release credential safety workflow now sets persist-credentials: false.

Trim whitespace before validating the Central publishing version.

Fixed. The guard trims the version text before validation. Missing, empty, and whitespace-only values remain rejected, and the numeric version floor is unchanged.

The root publishing check accepts declarations in inactive profiles or plugin management, so it can pass without an active publishing extension.

That is a valid limitation. The guard checks declarations and explicit numeric versions; it does not determine which Maven profiles or publishing extensions are active. The current POM declares Central 0.12.0 directly in build/plugins with extensions=true. This backport retains declaration checks. A direct-only restriction would also reject release-profile configurations; the release plugin already uses releaseProfiles=release.

Appending sanitized Maven output preserves any raw content already present in the log files.

Confirmed when a caller reuses a directory containing raw logs. The supported hosted release job fixes both capture and upload to $RUNNER_TEMP/release-logs; its Maven invocations write there through the guard. Appending retains sanitized output from earlier invocations in that job. Sanitizing arbitrary preexisting log history is outside this captured-job-output guarantee, so the helper makes no such promise.

Maven recognizes aliases and attached boolean prefixes that let logging
options bypass capture. Reject these forms in Maven argument sources
before launch, preserving harmless option names and POM/JVM text handling.

Bound the existing subprocess checks so a stalled guard fails promptly.

Keep ordinary property values out of debug and log-option scans while
checking forwarded release arguments and named unsafe settings. Share
Maven property aliases across policy checks and credential redaction,
while preserving the separate JVM option semantics.

Clean up the cancellation fixture's owned Maven group if its guard fails.

The new Maven option regex mistakes -Dfoo=-l for a log-file option because it accepts = as an option boundary.

Fixed. -Dfoo=-l is accepted in CLI arguments, MAVEN_ARGS, and .mvn/maven.config. Regression tests retain rejection of actual logging and debug flags.

The guard checks only the root POM although Maven releases child modules that can configure signing independently.

Fixed. Policy walks transitive literal module declarations and checks each POM’s explicit GPG and Central settings while allowing inherited root defaults.

A declared child POM without an XML namespace is parsed, but its policy settings and nested modules do not match the namespace-qualified queries.

Fixed. Policy checks and nested-module discovery now handle qualified and unqualified Maven model elements, with regression coverage.

Validate complete release recipes rather than individual physical lines, including shell continuations

Fixed. The Makefile scan joins backslash-continued lines before checking that Maven release goals use the capture guard. Tests cover wrapped and unwrapped continued commands.

Inspect parent and forwarded arguments using their Maven and Plexus
boundaries, preserving property data and the executed command. Reject
active debug prefixes in both views.

Mask unterminated quoted credentials through EOF without changing closed
quote boundaries or Maven status.

Keep the completed publish result when selector or pipe reads fail, while
withholding output behind fixed diagnostics. Preserve cancellation and
running-process failure behavior.

Add deterministic selector/read failure coverage for success, failure,
signals, and cancellation. All 50 release safety tests pass.

Refs: #1254

Consume escaped whitespace in unquoted credential values, including
backslash-newline continuations. Register JSON serialization of supported
URL-encoded secrets so slash escaping cannot expose publishing credentials.

Cover both console streams and log artifacts. All 52 release tests pass.

Refs: #1254

Release properties could enable child Maven logging while passing the
precheck. Inspect known argument and goal carriers from Maven and JVM
inputs with their actual quoting rules.

Clean the owned group after capture errors before returning a completed
Maven status. Keep both sanitized log artifacts when console streams
fail, and cover policy boundaries and append behavior.

All 57 release tests and the credential policy check pass.

A capture failure leaves child processes running

Fixed. The exceptional path now signals Maven’s process group with SIGTERM, then SIGKILL, and waits for Maven before returning the status observed before cleanup or writing fallback diagnostics. The direct wait reaps Maven itself; this does not promise reaping arbitrary grandchildren.

Backport the release credential guard from #1242, remove Maven debug
defaults and enable GPG best practices. Preserve Central publishing 0.12.0
and align setup-java and credential environment inputs with driver 4.x.

Validate release targets and reactor POMs before importing credentials.
Capture and sanitize both Maven streams before console or artifact writes,
retaining logs on success and failure. Preserve completed Maven status on
capture errors and withhold oversized or incomplete output.

Keep the 3.x release matrix, README version stamp and passphrase mapping.
Push SCM changes before artifact uploads and clean up the owned process
group on cancellation or capture failures.
