What changed

  • publishes the versioned v0.2-dev contributor handbook source and links it from the root README
  • replaces namespace package discovery with a literal five-package lightweight boundary
  • adds exact wheel and source-distribution assertions plus a clean-install smoke path
  • adds a third-party provenance ledger and a release workflow that fails while BLOCK entries remain
  • adds contribution, security, PR, CodeRabbit, and Blacksmith-backed GitHub Actions configuration
  • restores Frame/provider/Sequence lifecycle and edge-case coverage and rejects integer attribute overflow

Why

The repository combines MIT project code with isolated research trees, datasets, papers, checkpoints, native binaries, GPL code, and non-commercial/no-redistribution terms. Automatic discovery and the absence of CI made it possible to ship unintended material under MIT-only metadata.

Validation

  • Blacksmith-backed CI: all nine Python, Open3D, packaging, documentation, and provenance jobs pass
  • CodeRabbit: installed, configuration accepted, automatic draft review queued
  • Python 3.11, 3.12, 3.13: 154 default tests pass locally
  • Python 3.10: 78 core tests pass locally; full macOS visualization tier is blocked by a SciPy binary/linker incompatibility and is covered by Linux CI
  • Open3D 0.19 / Python 3.12: 5 tests pass
  • exact wheel and sdist checks pass
  • clean Python 3.12 wheel install and dependency check pass
  • Markdown links, YAML syntax, compilation, shell syntax, provenance containment, release-block presence, and whitespace checks pass

Release impact

Release publication remains intentionally blocked. This PR provides containment and an auditable gate; it does not resolve the ledger license and provenance blockers.

Remaining external setup

GitHub must initialize the enabled Wiki once before the prepared wiki repository can be pushed. Required merge checks should be configured after this PR establishes their exact GitHub check names.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 44c7b

The PR changes packaging and release-safety enforcement, but the current workflows may not execute, release publication is not actually gated, and repository-controlled automation and archive/provenance checks can be bypassed. That could allow unsafe automation or unintended material to pass release checks, so the PR is not safe to merge until these controls are corrected.

Inline comments:
In @.coderabbit.yaml:
- Around line 11-15: Update the auto_review and chat-related configuration
values in the CodeRabbit configuration to false, disabling automatic reviews and
chat replies while leaving the remaining settings unchanged.

In @.github/pull_request_template.md:
- Line 1: Update the opening “What changed” heading in the pull request template
from a level-two heading to a level-one heading so the document satisfies MD041.

In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Around line 103-104: Update the “Check whitespace errors” workflow step to run
git diff --check against the pull request’s base commit and HEAD, ensuring the
required base history is fetched before comparison.
- Line 18: Replace the runner label with ubuntu-24.04 at
.github/workflows/ci.yml lines 18, 37, 56, and 82, and at
.github/workflows/release-gate.yml line 12, covering the Core, Open3D,
package-boundary, quality, and release-gate jobs.
- Around line 25-26: Update checkout/setup-python pairs at
.github/workflows/ci.yml lines 25-26, 44-45, 59-60, and 85-86, plus
.github/workflows/release-gate.yml lines 15-16: pin both actions to reviewed
40-character commit SHAs, retain version comments, and add persist-credentials:
false to every actions/checkout step.

In @.github/workflows/release-gate.yml:
- Around line 3-4: Update the release-gate workflow trigger to support
workflow_call in addition to workflow_dispatch, then configure the publication
workflow’s job dependency to invoke and require the release gate before
publishing. Preserve the existing release checks and publication behavior.

In `@docs/handbook/README.md`:
- Around line 9-15: Apply one consistent evidence model across the five
documented sites: in docs/handbook/README.md lines 9-15, add environment and
evidence metadata to the snapshot row; in docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/README.md lines
68-77, link release cautions to component, provenance, and audit records; in
docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/contributing.md lines 76-79, identify collection
configuration, excluded research files, and audit environment; in
docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/contributing.md lines 120-139, map each license
restriction to provenance records and distribution boundaries; and in
docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/glossary.md lines 10-11, apply the same evidence and
scope rules to implementation-specific glossary entries. Each claim must name
its source path or command, audit commit, environment, and whether it concerns
isolated research behavior or Open4D integration.

In `@docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/architecture.md`:
- Around line 40-87: Update docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/architecture.md lines 40-87
to add traceable evidence references and the audit environment for every
VERIFIED-PARTIAL and WORKING-ISOLATED status, while preserving the distinction
between isolated research behavior and Open4D integration. Update
docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/codecs.md lines 3-7 to identify the audited revision,
evidence locations, and validation environment for the cross-codec boundary
claim; flag any broken links or claims still lacking this information.

In `@docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/implementation-status.md`:
- Around line 34-35: Update the CodeRabbit row in the implementation-status
table to accurately state that automatic reviews and chat replies are disabled,
and revise the dependent statement around the corresponding release-evidence
section to remove CodeRabbit as pull-request evidence. Ensure the documentation
identifies the applicable evidence or environment and distinguishes any isolated
research behavior from Open4D integration.

In `@docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/platform.md`:
- Around line 58-69: The timestamp guarantee in the Sequence documentation must
distinguish base Sequences from SequenceView instances: state that nondecreasing
timestamps apply to ordinary Sequences, while views may expose nonmonotonic or
decreasing timestamps when their ordering reverses. Add the required evidence,
environment, and distinction between isolated research behavior and Open4D
integration, while preserving the surrounding guarantees.
- Around line 10-39: Apply one evidence-and-status convention across all cited
handbook sections. In docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/platform.md lines 10-39, 78-148,
and 150-233, add links to exports, packaging, dtype tests, loader/OpenUSD
implementations and tests, metrics, adapters, viewer, and manifest evidence;
label examples versus planned or current behavior and state environment details.
In docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/primer.md lines 19-23, 92-109, 111-130, and 160-191,
cite the relevant core symbols and research sources, identify integration
status, and distinguish background, example, supported, and planned behavior.
Ensure every docs/**/*.md claim names its evidence, environment, and Open4D
integration status.
- Around line 41-43: Update the handbook text describing integer attribute
narrowing to state that generic integer attributes are explicitly checked
against int32 bounds before conversion, preventing silent wrapping; remove the
stale claim that this check is missing and preserve the distinction between
isolated research behavior and Open4D integration if present.

In `@docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/primer.md`:
- Around line 160-175: Revise the definitions around encoded artifacts, codecs,
containers, and transports to distinguish general background from Open4D
repository guarantees. For each repository-specific claim, name the supporting
implementation and tests, state the relevant environment, and clarify whether
the behavior is isolated research/example behavior or an Open4D integration
contract; apply the same treatment to the content around the referenced later
section.

In `@docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/reconstruction-streaming.md`:
- Around line 3-5: Update the RGB-D documentation section to identify the
implementation source paths, audit revision, and test environment, and link the
relevant evidence. Explicitly state that RGB-D is classified as WORKING-ISOLATED
in status.md and distinguish its isolated research behavior from complete Open4D
integration.
- Line 157: In the 3DGStream prerequisites text, replace the sentence wording so
it states that multi-view frame directories include calibration, using “It
requires multi-view frame directories with calibration.”
- Around line 70-89: Update the OBP1 testing documentation around the “Current
network protocols” table and “Required OBP1 tests” list to label each test group
as verified, missing, or planned, linking captured passing evidence where
available. Include the relevant evidence or test environment, and distinguish
isolated research behavior from Open4D integration; do not claim tests pass
without recorded binary/socket test results.
- Around line 146-160: Update the QUEEN and 3DGStream documentation claims to
cite immutable provenance evidence, including the relevant provenance record or
upstream revision and audit evidence. Keep the isolated-research qualification
and OWNER-RYAN scope adjacent to these claims, and explicitly avoid implying
release clearance; also identify the environment or distinguish the research
behavior from Open4D integration as required by the surrounding documentation
conventions.
- Around line 32-46: The reconstruction-streaming documentation must distinguish
observed behavior from planned Open4D integration by linking relevant source
files and audit results, naming the test environment, and identifying whether
claims reflect isolated research behavior. Mark the finite provider and
Frame(TriangleMesh) conversion as current gaps, consistently with status.md,
including the queue, mesh, C++, metadata, and provider sections.

In `@docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/repository-map.md`:
- Around line 3-4: Update the repository map documentation to identify its audit
basis, reusing the commit, audit date, environment, and verification evidence
documented in status.md; alternatively, add CI validation that verifies the map
against the repository tree. Ensure the documentation distinguishes isolated
research behavior from Open4D integration where applicable.
- Around line 77-79: Update docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/repository-map.md lines 77-79
to describe the implemented explicit five-package allowlist and archive checks,
citing scripts/check_provenance.py and implementation-status.md as validation
evidence. Update docs/handbook/v0.2-dev/roadmap.md lines 29-53 by marking
completed P0 controls as [x] while leaving unresolved license and
provenance-scope items unchecked; ensure claims identify the relevant
environment or distinguish isolated research behavior from Open4D integration.

In `@open4d/core/dtypes.py`:
- Around line 152-159: Add tests for the integer attribute validation around the
dtype-checking logic: verify both int32 minimum and maximum values are accepted
and stored canonically as int32, unsigned values beyond the supported range
raise ValueError, and empty integer attributes are accepted without failure.

In `@pyproject.toml`:
- Around line 43-46: Update the CI test configuration to explicitly include
open4d/torch_ops/tests using the torch extra, alongside the existing test paths
such as integrations/open3d/tests.

In `@scripts/check_markdown_links.py`:
- Around line 45-69: Update the local-link validation around the LINK iteration
to validate URL fragments instead of skipping every target starting with “#”.
Resolve same-document and local Markdown targets, extract their fragment
identifiers, and verify each fragment exists in the referenced document; append
an error for missing anchors while preserving existing repository-boundary and
file-existence checks.

In `@scripts/check_provenance.py`:
- Around line 46-50: Update the ledger validation in the loop over
REQUIRED_LEDGER_PATHS to parse THIRD_PARTY.md component-ledger rows instead of
accepting any backticked path occurrence, and require each required path to have
a corresponding row with a valid BLOCK or EXCLUDED release decision. Preserve
the existing missing-directory error while replacing the broad substring check
and associated error with row- and decision-specific validation.

In `@scripts/check_sdist_contents.py`:
- Around line 40-47: Reject duplicate archive file paths before set conversion
in scripts/check_sdist_contents.py lines 40-47, checking both raw member names
and root-normalized paths; update the validator to fail closed while preserving
existing root validation. Also reject duplicate paths from wheel.namelist() in
scripts/check_wheel_contents.py lines 50-57 before constructing members, leaving
no site unchanged.

actions/checkout persist-credentials default true README pin actions immutable full length commit SHA GitHub Actions

💡 Result:

In the actions/checkout GitHub Action, the persist-credentials input defaults to true [1][2]. When true, this setting configures the authentication token or SSH key into the local git configuration, which allows your workflow scripts to execute authenticated git commands (e.g., git push) automatically [1][3]. This token is removed during post-job cleanup [1][3]. Security best practices often recommend setting persist-credentials to false if your workflow does not require making authenticated git commits, in order to minimize the risk of token exposure [1][4]. Regarding the use of commit SHAs for actions, it is a recommended security best practice to pin actions to a full-length commit SHA (a 40-character hash) instead of a tag or branch reference [5][6][7]. Pinning to an immutable full-length commit SHA ensures that the exact code you have audited is executed, protecting your workflow against supply-chain attacks where an upstream tag could be re-pointed to malicious code [5][7]. To maintain the benefits of automated updates while ensuring immutability, many developers use the following format in their workflow files [6][7]: uses: actions/checkout@ # v4.2.0 In this pattern, the SHA provides security through immutability, while the version number in the trailing comment allows tools like Dependabot or Renovate to detect and propose updates to the latest version [6][7].

🌐 Web query:

GitHub Actions pin actions to full length commit SHA security hardening documentation

💡 Result:

Pinning GitHub Actions to a full-length commit SHA is a primary security hardening practice recommended by GitHub to mitigate supply chain risks [1][2]. Why Pinning is Necessary Actions referenced by mutable tags (e.g., @v4) or branches (e.g., @main) can be repointed by repository owners—or attackers who compromise an account—to execute malicious code without your knowledge [3][4]. Pinning to an immutable 40-character commit SHA ensures your workflow consistently executes the exact, reviewed version of the code, protecting against unauthorized changes or upstream supply chain attacks [3][5][6]. Best Practices for Implementation 1. Use Full-Length SHAs: Always use the complete 40-character SHA to reference an action [1][3]. 2. Maintain Human-Readable Context: Keep the version tag as a trailing comment (e.g., uses: actions/checkout@1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678 # v4.2.0). This allows tools like Dependabot and Renovate to track the intended version and automatically open pull requests for updates, allowing you to review changes before upgrading [3][4][6]. 3. Enforce Policies: Organizations and enterprises can enforce SHA pinning at the repository, organization, or enterprise level [1][7][8]. When enabled, GitHub policies will reject any workflow that attempts to use an action not pinned to a full-length commit SHA [7]. How to Manage Updates Instead of using mutable tags, rely on automated dependency managers such as Dependabot [3][6]. By maintaining the version comment, these tools can identify when a newer version is available and propose an update to the SHA, ensuring you remain secure while keeping your actions up to date [3][4]. For third-party actions, pinning is strongly recommended [3][6]. While first-party actions (e.g., actions/*) are generally trusted, SHA pinning remains the recommended security baseline [3].

Citations:


Pin the actions and disable checkout credential persistence.

At all five checkout/setup-python sites, use reviewed 40-character commit SHAs and set persist-credentials: false on each checkout step. The workflows run repository-controlled commands after checkout, but none needs the persisted authentication token. Retain version comments for dependency updates.

Check the committed range.

Line 104 runs git diff --check without revisions. The checkout worktree is clean, so this step does not detect whitespace errors already committed in the pull request. Compare the pull request base commit with HEAD after fetching the required history.

Validate local fragment targets.

Line 48 skips same-document anchors. Lines 49-69 accept a linked Markdown file without checking its fragment. Therefore, broken links such as [text](#missing-anchor) and [text](guide.md#missing-anchor) pass this release check. Parse local anchors and reference-style links, then fail when the target fragment is absent.

As per path instructions, docs/**/*.md must “Flag broken links.”

Reject duplicate archive entries before set conversion.

Both validators convert archive member names to sets. Duplicate paths are silently collapsed, so an archive with two members at the same normalized path can pass the exact-content check. Preserve the raw member list and fail when a file path occurs more than once.

  • scripts/check_sdist_contents.py#L40-L47: reject duplicate raw paths and duplicate paths after root normalization.
  • scripts/check_wheel_contents.py#L50-L57: reject duplicate file paths from wheel.namelist() before creating members.

As per path instructions, “Exact distribution contents must fail closed.”
