In @.github/workflows/bot-changelog-trigger.yml:
- Around line 34-39: The Upload PR metadata step uses actions/upload-artifact@v4
to store changelog-metadata but relies on the default 90-day retention; add the
retention-days input to the step (e.g., retention-days: 1 or 3) so the artifact
named "changelog-metadata" uploaded from path "pr_number" is retained only
briefly for the downstream runner workflow to consume.

Learning: In the openwisp/openwisp-radius repository (and other openwisp repositories), reusable workflow caller files (e.g., `.github/workflows/bot-ci-failure.yml`) intentionally reference upstream reusable workflows with `master` (e.g., `openwisp/openwisp-utils/.github/workflows/reusable-bot-ci-failure.ymlmaster`). This is by design so callers always use the latest changes from the master branch of openwisp-utils. Do not flag this as a security or pinning issue in code reviews.

Learning: In openwisp/openwisp-radius and similar OpenWISP repos, reusable workflow caller files intentionally reference upstream reusable workflows with master (e.g., openwisp/openwisp-utils/.github/workflows/reusable-bot-ci-failure.ymlmaster). This is by design to ensure callers always use the latest changes from the master branch of the upstream project. Do not flag such references as security or pinning issues during code reviews. If applying this pattern broadly, treat any workflow call that uses a remote reusable workflow from a different repository with master as an intentional design choice rather than a vulnerability.

1-17: LGTM!The workflow trigger and job conditional are well-structured. The check for approved reviews from authorized contributors (OWNER, MEMBER, COLLABORATOR) is appropriate for gating changelog generation.
18-26: LGTM!The regex pattern
^\[(feature|fix|change)\]with case-insensitive matching correctly identifies noteworthy PRs. Using an environment variable forPR_TITLEavoids shell injection concerns..github/workflows/bot-changelog-runner.yml (3)
1-17: LGTM!The workflow_run trigger correctly chains to the trigger workflow, and the permissions are appropriately scoped for the changelog operations.
18-43: LGTM!Good defensive programming:
continue-on-error: trueon artifact download gracefully handles cases where no artifact exists (non-noteworthy PRs).- Numeric validation of
pr_numberprevents injection of malicious input into downstream workflows.
51-54: Verify parameter names match the reusable workflow expectations.The workflow passes secrets with parameter names
OPENWISP_BOT_APP_IDandOPENWISP_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY, which differ from the naming conventions in other workflows that call different reusable workflows:
bot-ci-failure.ymlcallsreusable-bot-ci-failure.ymland uses:APP_ID,PRIVATE_KEYbackport.ymlcallsreusable-backport.ymland uses:app_id,private_keybot-changelog-runner.ymlcallsreusable-bot-changelog.ymland uses:OPENWISP_BOT_APP_ID,OPENWISP_BOT_PRIVATE_KEYSince different reusable workflows may have different parameter expectations, confirm that
reusable-bot-changelog.ymlin openwisp-utils expects parameters namedOPENWISP_BOT_APP_IDandOPENWISP_BOT_PRIVATE_KEYrather thanAPP_IDandPRIVATE_KEYor their lowercase variants.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial
Consider reducing artifact retention.
The artifact is only needed briefly until the runner workflow consumes it. The default 90-day retention is excessive for this temporary handoff.
