Summary
Proposes a versioning strategy for how consumer repositories should reference
shared reusable workflows: use
@main, with tags only for breaking changes.This ADR is in "Proposed" status and requests feedback from maintainers.
Key argument
SHA-pinning shared workflows reintroduces the per-repo maintenance burden that
shared workflows are designed to eliminate. With
@main, a fix to the sharedworkflow automatically benefits all ~29 consumer repos. With SHA pins, every
consumer must be updated individually.
Context
As of July 2026, nine consumer repositories SHA-pin
reusable-backport.yml, and their pins have already drifted across two different commits (161f3bevs46ed94f) — most consumers silently miss the latest workflow fixes. The open migration PRs use@main. This ADR proposes standardizing on@mainwith clear rationale.Note
The ADR is a self-contained RST file under
Documentation/Decisions/; the repository has no rendered documentation structure yet (the merged #3 turned out to be the README instead), so render/toctree integration can follow separately.Feedback requested
@mainacceptable for your workflow stability requirements?mainas a concrete first step toward this.)
