After lowercasing the slug (molecule-ci#1) and flipping molecule-ci public,
plugin/template/org-template CI still failed at the SECOND actions/checkout
step (the one that fetches molecule-ci itself for canonical validator scripts).
Failure mode in act_runner log:
Run actions/checkout@v4
repository: molecule-ai/molecule-ci
path: .molecule-ci-canonical
Syncing repository: molecule-ai/molecule-ci
[git config http.https://git.moleculesai.app/.extraheader AUTHORIZATION: basic ***]
::error::The target couldn't be found.
❌ Failure - Main actions/checkout@v4
Root cause: actions/checkout@v4 sends `Authorization: basic <github.token>` —
the per-job Gitea-issued token, scoped to the calling plugin/template repo
only. On Gitea, an authenticated request that lacks repo-permission 404s
instead of falling back to anonymous-public-read (a Gitea-vs-GitHub
behaviour difference). Anonymous git clone of molecule-ci succeeds; the auth
header is what trips the 404.
Fix: pass `token: ''` to force anonymous fetch on the cross-repo checkouts.
molecule-ci is public; no auth is needed for read.
3 sites updated:
* validate-plugin.yml (1 site)
* validate-workspace-template.yml (2 sites — both jobs in the file)
* validate-org-template.yml (1 site)
Verified by: re-triggering plugin-molecule-careful-bash#2 will be GREEN
end-to-end after this lands. The 33 downstream lowercase-slug PRs are NOT
mass-merged until that verification.

molecule-ci
Shared CI workflows for the Molecule AI ecosystem. Every plugin, workspace template, and org template repo calls these reusable workflows to enforce a standard validation gate.
Usage
Plugin repos (molecule-ai-plugin-*)
# .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
validate:
uses: Molecule-AI/molecule-ci/.github/workflows/validate-plugin.yml@v1
Workspace template repos (molecule-ai-workspace-template-*)
# .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
validate:
uses: Molecule-AI/molecule-ci/.github/workflows/validate-workspace-template.yml@v1
Org template repos (molecule-ai-org-template-*)
# .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
validate:
uses: Molecule-AI/molecule-ci/.github/workflows/validate-org-template.yml@v1
Any repo with auto-merge enabled
PR-time guards (currently: disable auto-merge on follow-up push). Consume from a thin caller:
# .github/workflows/pr-guards.yml
name: pr-guards
on:
pull_request:
types: [synchronize]
permissions:
pull-requests: write
jobs:
disable-auto-merge-on-push:
uses: Molecule-AI/molecule-ci/.github/workflows/disable-auto-merge-on-push.yml@v1
When the team lands more PR-time guards in this repo, add them as additional jobs in the same caller — keeps each consuming repo's footprint to one file.

disable-auto-merge-on-push
PR-time safety guard. When pull_request:synchronize fires (= a new commit pushed to an open PR) and auto-merge is already enabled, this workflow disables auto-merge and posts a comment requiring the operator to re-engage explicitly.
Why it exists: on 2026-04-27, molecule-core PR #2174 auto-merged with only its first commit because the second commit was pushed AFTER the merge queue had locked the PR's SHA. The second commit ended up orphaned on a merged-and-deleted branch.
Pairs with the org-wide repo setting "Automatically delete head branches" (already enabled on all 10 Molecule-AI repos). Defense in depth:
- Repo setting blocks pushes to a merged-and-deleted branch (catches the post-merge orphan case).
- This workflow catches the in-queue race (push during queue processing) by force-disabling auto-merge.
Together they cover the full lifecycle of "auto-merge enabled → new commits arrive" without operator discipline.
False-positive note: if a CI bot pushes (dependency update, secret rotation), this also disables auto-merge. That's intentional — the operator who originally enabled auto-merge gets notified and re-engages, which is exactly the verify-after-machine-edits behavior we want.
