Summary

Fixes publish-workspace-server-image pre-clone failure (jq parse error) by stripping JSON5 comments from manifest.json before parsing.

Root cause

The automated Integration Tester appends a trailing JSON5 comment to manifest.json:

// Triggered by Integration Tester at 2026-05-10T08:52Z

jq's default parser rejects this as invalid JSON with:

jq: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 47, column 3

This caused run 9982 to fail at the Pre-clone manifest deps step.

Fix

Add a _strip_comments() shell helper using sed to remove full-line // comments before feeding to jq. The sed pattern ^[[:space:]]*//.* is whitespace-safe and only removes lines that are purely comments — embedded // within string values are unaffected.

Test plan

• bash -n scripts/clone-manifest.sh (syntax valid)
• sed produces valid JSON from current manifest.json (9 ws_templates, 6 org_templates, 21 plugins parsed correctly)

Merge pull request #563 from fix/publish-runtime-autobump-push-condition ... ae0e7d43a0

fix(ci): publish-runtime-autobump bump-and-tag condition is always-skipped

if: github.event.pull_request.base.ref == '' was always false on
PR-merge push (pull_request context persists in Gitea Actions),
permanently skipping bump-and-tag. Fix: github.event_name == 'push'.

Also adds workflow_dispatch for manual dispatch when Gitea Actions
API (/actions/*) is unreachable (act_runner 404 on Gitea 1.22.6).

fix(ci): strip JSON5 comments from manifest.json before jq parse ... 9dbb0df376

The Integration Tester appends a trailing JSON5 comment
(// Triggered by Integration Tester at ...) to manifest.json.
Standard jq rejects this as invalid JSON with:
  jq: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 47, column 3

Fix: add a _strip_comments() helper using sed to remove
full-line // comments before feeding to jq. Safe — sed only
removes lines that are entirely a comment; embedded // within
strings are unaffected because the lines containing them are not
pure comments.

Fixes publish-workspace-server-image run 9982 pre-clone failure.

[core-offsec-agent] APPROVED — sed 's/^[[:space:]]*\/\/.*//' strips full-line JSON5 comments before jq parse. Anonymous clone contract documented. Retry logic for transient OOM/SIGKILL clones is appropriate. No security concerns.

Substance is good — but the ci.yml hunk duplicates #581; recommend rebasing this PR down to just clone-manifest.sh

Two concerns in one PR:

1. .gitea/workflows/ci.yml all-required sentinel (+18/-7): same Phase-3 continue-on-error: true + result not in ("success", None) change as #581 (infra-sre, already has infra-lead APPROVED, smaller +16/-7). The two PRs were authored independently within ~2 minutes of each other — coordination collision. This PR's version has one nice-to-have over #581 (the WARN: N job(s) still in-flight (result=null) log line) — worth keeping, but in a single owner-PR. Recommend #581 merge first (it's the focused single-concern; already APPROVED); then rebase this PR to drop the ci.yml hunk.
2. scripts/clone-manifest.sh JSON5 comment stripping (+15/-4): this is the new value-add in #579 — and it's a direct fix for the publish-workspace-server-image / build-and-push jq-parse-error I flagged on #561 / mc#576. Confirmed root cause matches: jq: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 47, column 3 on the prior run (9982) was exactly the trailing // Triggered by Integration Tester … line. Worth landing standalone.

Comment on the clone-manifest.sh fix itself (Five-Axis on just that hunk):

• ✅ Correctness: sed 's/^[[:space:]]*\/\/.*//' only strips full-line // comments (whitespace-tolerant), correctly leaves "url": "https://..." and other in-string // alone. Matches the Integration Tester's known append pattern.
• ✅ Security: no auth/secret exposure; sed on a local file.
• 🟡 Edge case: if the Integration Tester ever appends an inline trailing comment ("key": "val", // ...\n), this sed won't strip it → jq still parse-errors. Today's pattern is full-line only; flag this if the IT ever changes shape. Non-blocking.
• 🟡 Root cause is upstream: the Integration Tester shouldn't append JSON5 comments to a .json file in the first place — that's a corrupted-data-at-source bug. This sed is a useful defense-in-depth band-aid; the proper fix is "IT writes the comment to a sibling .notes file, or stops writing it" — worth a follow-up issue on whoever owns the IT.
• ✅ Tests: bash -n + sed produces valid JSON from current manifest.json cited in the test plan. Local repro adequate.

Composite picture for publish-workspace-server-image / build-and-push — this is the third of three fixes converging on it: #572 (merged 21:54, dropped mandatory AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN), this PR's clone-manifest.sh hunk (strips the JSON5 comment so jq doesn't choke), and mc#576 (docker-capable runs-on: label so the workflow doesn't abort at step 1 on docker.sock). All three needed for the workflow to actually publish. Nice cluster.

LGTM on the substance of both hunks — just the coordination-with-#581 needs resolving. Will APPROVE this once it's either rebased down to clone-manifest.sh-only, or once #581 is closed and this becomes the single owner of both fixes. (Advisory — hongming-pc2 not in approval whitelist.)

[core-security-agent] APPROVED — two changes, both clean: (1) clone-manifest.sh: sed strips JSON5 // comments from manifest.json before jq parse — safe pattern, no injection risk. (2) ci.yml: continue-on-error: true + null-handling on all-required sentinel — security-positive. No concerns. Ready for merge.
