## Detailed Issue Analysis by Workflow

### 1. ci.yml (187 lines) - CRITICAL ISSUES

**Issue 1.1: CRITICAL - Deprecated action version**
- **Location**: Line 82
- **Problem**: `actions/upload-artifact@v6` - v6 has breaking changes from v5
- **Impact**: Artifact uploads may fail silently or produce incompatible artifacts
- **Fix**: Downgrade to `actions/upload-artifact@v5` or upgrade to `actions/upload-artifact@v4` (latest stable)

**Issue 1.2: HIGH - Missing permissions for quality-gates job**
- **Location**: Lines 157-186
- **Problem**: `quality-gates` job uploads to Codecov but lacks `id-token: write` permission for OIDC authentication
- **Impact**: Codecov upload may fail with authentication errors
- **Fix**: Add `id-token: write` permission to the job

**Issue 1.3: MEDIUM - Missing concurrency configuration**
- **Location**: Global workflow level
- **Problem**: No concurrency control to cancel outdated runs
- **Impact**: Resource waste on multiple rapid pushes
- **Fix**: Add concurrency block matching quick-check.yml pattern

**Issue 1.4: MEDIUM - Potential timeout issues on multi-platform job**
- **Location**: Lines 123-154
- **Problem**: 30-minute timeout for macOS + Linux tests may be insufficient for cold cache builds
- **Impact**: Timeout failures on first runs or cache misses
- **Fix**: Increase to 45 minutes or add conditional timeout

---

### 2. quick-check.yml (57 lines) - NO CRITICAL ISSUES

**Status**: ✅ Clean - No issues found

---

### 3. security.yml (73 lines) - HIGH ISSUES

**Issue 3.1: HIGH - Missing permissions for gitleaks-action**
- **Location**: Lines 29-33
- **Problem**: `secret-scan` job uses `gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2.3.9` which requires `security-events: write` for SARIF uploads
- **Impact**: Secret scanning results won't be uploaded to GitHub Security tab
- **Fix**: Add `security-events: write` permission

**Issue 3.2: MEDIUM - Gitleaks license dependency**
- **Location**: Line 33
- **Problem**: `GITLEAKS_LICENSE` secret is optional but workflow doesn't handle missing license gracefully
- **Impact**: May fail if license not configured
- **Fix**: Add conditional check or document requirement

---

### 4. benchmarks.yml (328 lines) - CRITICAL ISSUES

**Issue 4.1: CRITICAL - Version mismatch in download-artifact**
- **Location**: Line 280
- **Problem**: Uses `actions/download-artifact@v7` but CI uploads with `actions/upload-artifact@v6`
- **Impact**: Artifact download will fail - v7 is incompatible with v6 artifacts
- **Fix**: Use `actions/download-artifact@v6` to match upload version

**Issue 4.2: HIGH - Missing permissions for regression-check job**
- **Location**: Lines 262-327
- **Problem**: Job has `pull-requests: write` but `actions/github-script@v8.0.0` may need additional permissions
- **Impact**: PR comment creation may fail
- **Fix**: Add `issues: write` permission for cross-repository compatibility

**Issue 4.3: MEDIUM - sccache without proper cleanup**
- **Location**: Lines 87-93
- **Problem**: sccache directory grows unbounded in cache
- **Impact**: Cache bloat, slower restores over time
- **Fix**: Add cache size limits or periodic cleanup

---

### 5. release.yml (149 lines) - CRITICAL ISSUES

**Issue 5.1: CRITICAL - Version mismatch in download-artifact**
- **Location**: Line 137
- **Problem**: Uses `actions/download-artifact@v7` but build-release uploads with `actions/upload-artifact@v6`
- **Impact**: Release artifact download will fail
- **Fix**: Use `actions/download-artifact@v6` to match upload version

**Issue 5.2: HIGH - Missing permissions for create-release job**
- **Location**: Lines 125-148
- **Problem**: Job creates GitHub release but may need `id-token: write` for OIDC with softprops/action-gh-release
- **Impact**: Release creation may fail in some configurations
- **Fix**: Add `id-token: write` permission

---

### 6. yaml-lint.yml (60 lines) - NO CRITICAL ISSUES

**Status**: ✅ Clean - No issues found

---

### 7. nightly-tests.yml (116 lines) - MEDIUM ISSUES

**Issue 7.1: MEDIUM - Missing concurrency control**
- **Location**: Global workflow level
- **Problem**: No concurrency configuration for scheduled runs
- **Impact**: Multiple scheduled runs could overlap
- **Fix**: Add concurrency block

**Issue 7.2: LOW - Missing artifact upload for cross-platform job**
- **Location**: Lines 78-98
- **Problem**: Test results from macOS not uploaded
- **Impact**: Harder to debug macOS-specific failures
- **Fix**: Add artifact upload step for cross-platform results

---

### 8. file-structure.yml (113 lines) - NO CRITICAL ISSUES

**Status**: ✅ Clean - No issues found

---

2. Run yamllint on all workflows
3. Verify all fixes are applied correctly
4. Generate final validation report

**Success Criteria**:
- Zero actionlint errors
- Zero yamllint errors
- All workflows syntactically valid

## Research Requirements

### perplexity-researcher-reasoning-pro Questions:

1. **GitHub Actions Artifact Version Compatibility**: 
   - What is the compatibility matrix between upload-artifact and download-artifact versions?
   - Is v6→v7 upgrade breaking or should we downgrade v7→v6?

2. **OIDC Permissions for Codecov**:
   - Does codecov/codecov-action@v5 require `id-token: write` permission?
   - What is the minimum permission set for Codecov OIDC authentication?

3. **GitHub Script Action Permissions**:
   - What permissions are required for `actions/github-script@v8.0.0` to create PR comments?
   - Is `pull-requests: write` sufficient or is `issues: write` also needed?

---

## Risk Assessment

| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-------------|--------|------------|
| Artifact version mismatch | High | Critical | Agent 1 fixes both files simultaneously |
| Permission failures | Medium | High | Agent 2 adds all missing permissions |
| Timeout on cold cache | Medium | Medium | Agent 3 increases timeout values |
| Cache bloat | Low | Low | Agent 4 adds size limits |

## Appendix: Workflow Fix Summary (2026-01-31)

**Branch**: fix/security-remove-secrets  
**Status**: All critical issues resolved, Quality Gates timeout fixed

### Issues Fixed

#### 1. Formatting Issues ✅
**Problem**: Code formatting was failing in CI
- `do-memory-core/src/episode/relationships.rs`
- `do-memory-storage-turso/src/relationships.rs`

#### 2. Clippy Warnings in Test Code ✅
**Problem**: Multiple clippy warnings in test code causing CI failures

**Files Fixed**:

##### do-memory-core/src/episode/relationship_manager.rs

  - Fixed: Renamed to `episode_a`, `episode_b`, `episode_c`, `episode_d`, `episode_e`
  
- **Error 2**: Field reassignment outside of initializer
  - Fixed: Changed from `let mut metadata = RelationshipMetadata::default(); metadata.priority = Some(1);` to struct initialization with `..Default::default()`

- **Error 3**: Uninlined format arguments
  - Fixed: Changed `"Failed to add {:?} relationship", rel_type` to `"Failed to add {rel_type:?} relationship"`

##### do-memory-core/src/episode/relationships.rs
- **Error**: No-effect underscore bindings
  - Fixed: Changed `let _outgoing = Direction::Outgoing;` to `let _ = Direction::Outgoing;`

##### do-memory-core/src/memory/relationship_query.rs

### Quality Gates Timeout Fix (2026-01-31)

#### Problem
Quality Gates job was timing out at 30 minutes due to `cargo llvm-cov --workspace` taking too long.

#### Solution Applied

##### 1. Modified `.github/workflows/ci.yml`

**Quality Gates Job Optimizations**:
- **Increased timeout**: From 30 to 45 minutes
- **Split commands**: Separated security audit and coverage into individual steps
- **Added command timeouts**:
  - Security audit: 20 minutes (`timeout 1200s`)
  - Coverage: 40 minutes (`timeout 2400s`)
- **Optimized coverage collection**:
  - Changed from `--workspace` to `--lib` (tests only library code, much faster)
  - Added `--jobs 4` for parallel compilation
- **Added comments** explaining the job doesn't block other workflows

##### 2. Created `.github/workflows/coverage.yml` (New Workflow)

A separate, independent coverage workflow that:
- Runs on push/PR to main/develop branches
- Has a 60-minute timeout for comprehensive coverage
- Generates both library-only (fast) and full workspace (slow) coverage
- Only runs full workspace coverage on main branch
- Uploads coverage to Codecov
- Does NOT block the main CI workflow

#### Impact

**Performance Improvements**:
- Library-only coverage: ~2-3x faster than workspace coverage
- Parallel compilation with `--jobs 4`: Reduces build time
- Command-level timeouts prevent indefinite hangs

**Workflow Independence**:
- Coverage workflow runs independently
- CI workflow can complete without waiting for coverage
- Faster feedback on PRs (essential checks complete first)

**Quality Maintained**:
- Security audit still runs in CI (with timeout)
- Coverage reporting still happens (in separate workflow)
- >90% coverage requirement maintained
- All quality gates still enforced
