feat: timeout-minutes policy + policy-check action for org-wide reuse#12
Merged
Conversation
Add a policy requiring every job to declare timeout-minutes (jobs that call a reusable workflow are exempt, since GitHub rejects timeout-minutes there), so a hung step can't hold a runner for the 360-minute default. Set timeouts on this repo's own jobs to satisfy it. Add a policy-check composite action that runs the policy/ rules over a calling repo's workflows and actions: it carries the policies beside itself and resolves them via $GITHUB_ACTION_PATH/../policy, so the rules always match the pinned ref without a second checkout. Other org repos adopt the gate with two lines. The policy job in verify.yml now dogfoods this action instead of inlining conftest. Also widen the release paths so policy/ and policy-check/ changes cut a release, and document the new rule and action in the README and CLAUDE.md.
