Tirsvad b3f006f7a4 Record that reusable workflows work on the instance
Verified on 2026-10-10 with throwaway branches (deleted afterwards):
workflow_call and uses run from the same repository, another repository of
the organisation and a repository of another organisation, so MIL-003 needs
no copied-template fallback. Not tested: a private provider, secrets passed
to a called workflow, and a tag reference. Review it (RC-033) and update
TM-001.

## Purpose
Decide whether a software engineer can run the same quality checks on any
TirSystem project through a shared workflow.
## Deliverable
A reusable quality-check workflow for Python and shell, used by at least one
other repository, and a guide for reading its results.
## Go / No-Go Criteria
| # | Criterion (objectively checkable) | Go | No-Go |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | The instance supports reusable workflows (`workflow_call`), verified and recorded | Verified | Unsupported (re-plan as a copied template) |
| 2 | One other repository runs the workflow and its status check appears on pull requests | Appears | Does not run |
| 3 | A failing check shows the tool, file and message in the log | Verified with a seeded failure | Cause not visible |
| 4 | Inputs and defaults are documented | Documented | Missing |
## Dependencies
| Depends on | Reason |
| --- | --- |
| MIL-002 | Uses the onboarding guide and runner list |
## Traceability
| Business Case objective / KPI / user story | Reference |
| --- | --- |
| O4 | [BC-001] |
## Ownership
| Role | Stakeholder ID (SA) |
| --- | --- |
| Owner | S05 |
| Approving reviewer | S01 |
## Target Date
2026-11-14 — confirmed on 2026-10-10 by S01, standing in for S05 (ADR-0002); the Business Case sets no deadline.
## Tasks
| # | Task | Summary | Needs its own Use Case/User Story? | Reference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Verify reusable workflow support | Check whether this Gitea version supports `workflow_call` and cross-repository `uses`; if not, choose a copied template instead. Verified on 2026-10-10: supported, so no copied template is needed (see Verification results). | No | Verification results |
| 2 | Define the quality-check contract | Decide the inputs (language, tool versions, working directory) and what a pass and a fail mean. Start with Python and shell. This is something an engineer does, so it needs a use case first. | Yes | Use case candidate: run project quality checks |
| 3 | Implement the reusable quality workflow | Create the workflow in the canonical location with pinned tool versions and least-privilege permissions. | No | |
| 4 | Adopt it in one other repository | Onboard a real project and fix the gaps in the guide that appear. | No | |
| 5 | Write the guide for reading results | Explain status checks, logs and typical fixes so an engineer can make a failing check pass. | No | |
## Verification results
Task 1 was run on 2026-10-10 on the instance (Gitea 1.27.3) with a throwaway
branch, `verify-reusable-workflows`, in `TirSystem/github-action`. The called
workflow declared `on: workflow_call` with one input and printed it; the
callers used `jobs.<job_id>.uses`. All branches were deleted afterwards.
| Call | Caller | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `uses: ./.gitea/workflows/reuse-callee.yml` | `TirSystem/github-action` (same repository) | Called job ran; input received |
| `uses: TirSystem/github-action/.gitea/workflows/reuse-callee.yml@<branch>` | `TirSystem/github-action` | Called job ran; input received |
| the same, from another repository of the organization | `TirSystem/sqa-qc-checklists` | Called job ran; `gitea.repository` was the caller |
| the same, from a repository of another organization | `TirSystem-BashScript/RepoFoundry` | Called job ran; `gitea.repository` was the caller |
What the test did not cover: a provider repository that is private (the
provider here is public), passing secrets to a called workflow
(`secrets:` or `secrets: inherit`), and a reference by tag instead of a
branch. The quality checks of this milestone need none of the secrets; a
private provider and tag references are for the release milestone (MIL-004).
