Open wording proposals currently show a red check only because no accepted-edit receipt exists yet. That looks like breakage and hides real problems. Separately, the gate counts the approvals typed into a receipt, but nothing compares them with real GitHub reviews. This PR splits the status into two checks, adds that comparison, and closes two gaps found while testing. The fidelity gate is not weakened.

What changes

npm run build and pages.yml stay strict. node scripts/check-source-fidelity.mjs without the new flag behaves as before: any wording change without a receipt fails, so nothing can be published with an unreceipted edit. Edits with a receipt gain one rule: the link that opens a figure must stay unchanged.

check job (stays required). It now runs the gate with --awaiting-receipt-base "$RUNNER_TEMP/base"; only this job passes the flag, and there is no environment variable or default. The directory holds the PR base's articles and receipts file, extracted with git archive HEAD^1 from the merge commit (checkout uses fetch-depth: 2). The restored originals exist in the repository only as hashes, so the gate cannot rebuild them offline and needs this base copy.

An article that differs from its base with no receipt counts as awaiting a receipt only if all of these hold:

• its base file hashes exactly to the restored baseline, or to the last accepted edit;
• that base passes every original check (hashes, title, route, anchors, image count, recovery safeguards);
• the edit passes checkAcceptedStructure against the base with an empty receipt: front matter, container, headings, IDs, anchors, images and figure links unchanged; only the allowed markup; no new blank lines or comments; for last-resort-restore, the safeguard context checks.

An alt-text-only change to a figure's image also counts as awaiting, because a receipt can excuse it through changed_image_alt_text. The asset and every other attribute must stay unchanged, and the image must be in a figure a receipt can name. Both checks name the figure, for example "reputation: alt text of source-image-4 changed; its receipt must list it in changed_image_alt_text". The strict gate and real receipts keep today's rule: the receipt must list the figure.

Awaiting articles are counted in the image totals (130/120). Anything else is a normal check failure. Raw sources, restoration and receipt records, invalid receipts, AI snapshots, additional articles and the template, section and link repair checks are unchanged. Outside a pull request (workflow_dispatch) there is no base, so an unreceipted edit fails check as before. npm run build is split into the gate followed by npm run build:after-fidelity, so the check job runs the same steps with the flagged gate first.

Preserved materials guard (check, pull requests only). scripts/check-immutable-materials.mjs 'HEAD^1' HEAD fails check when the PR changes, compared with its base:

• migration/restoration-fidelity.json or migration/additional-articles.json;
• anything under public/wiki-source/, public/media/ or review/ai-edited/.

Renames count as a removal plus an addition. The message says these never change in a pull request, that accepted wording goes through migration/accepted-edits.json, and that a deliberate new intake needs its own PR that also changes the guard. The list and message are a pure, tested function in scripts/lib/immutable-materials.mjs; the script runs git diff --name-only --no-renames -z without a shell, and makes no network call.

It closes two gaps the gate alone has on current main:

• an edited article whose four per-article hashes were refreshed passes the strict gate;
• a replaced file under public/media/ passes it too, because the gate compares image references, not media bytes.

Figure links. A figure is now compared together with the <a href> that opens it, with or without a receipt, so an edit cannot point that link at another file. 136 of the 139 figures have such a link; the other three are text placeholders.

New receipts job. It runs two steps:

1. scripts/check-awaiting-receipts.mjs fails while any article awaits a receipt. It lists each slug (and any figure whose alt text changed), says this is expected for a wording proposal until reviewers accept it, links CONTRIBUTING.md#accepted-editorial-changes, annotates each file and writes a short job summary. It also fails on any other fidelity finding, so receipts never passes where the strict gate would fail.
2. scripts/check-receipt-approvals.mjs (with scripts/lib/receipt-approvals.mjs) compares recorded approvals with the PR's reviews. Permissions are contents: read, pull-requests: read. There is no pull_request_target and no secret; the scripts read the event payload from GITHUB_EVENT_PATH, so no PR or review text reaches a shell command.

The workflow now also runs on pull_request_review (submitted, dismissed). check runs on those events too, not skipped: a skipped job reports success and would replace a failing check result for the same commit.

Approval rules. For each receipt item this PR adds or changes:

• the item must name this PR; an added or edited item naming another PR fails;
• every recorded login must have approved at the PR's head commit. An approval from before the last push doesn't count, nor one followed by a change request or a dismissal;
• the login must be neither the PR author nor the receipt author;
• the login must have write access or higher;
• distinct valid approvers must number at least required_approvals. The base value is used if the PR lowers it.

Unchanged items from earlier PRs are not checked again. Outside a PR the step is skipped with a notice. If reviews can't be read while an item needs checking, the step fails; with nothing to check it only warns.

Write access. The REST collaborator-permission endpoint does not work for a read-only token: it returns 403 Must have push access to view collaborator permission. I reproduced that with a token that has only read access, against bisq-network/bisq and nodejs/node. A fork PR's GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only, so the endpoint can't be used.

Instead of falling back to author_association, which accepts org members and collaborators without write access, the check uses GraphQL's PullRequestReview.authorCanPushToRepository. A read-only token can read it: on bisq-network/bisq, where my token has read access, it returns true for a maintainer's approval and false for an automated reviewer without write access. With a fork PR's GITHUB_TOKEN, this PR's runs read the reviews with that field without error. The run started by CodeRabbit's review logged "Read 1 review; 0 reviewers approved head aea6608 (0 with write access)". It was a comment, not an approval, so its value (true, the bot has write access) was not counted.

Repo-content tests. Before this change, a wording branch turned 13 of the 15 receipt unit tests red: their single-finding assertions also saw the branch's own edit, and on #145 their sample article was the edited one. Now:

• The tests read their two sample articles (trading-monero, last-resort-restore) from scripts/fixtures/restored/. A test asserts these copies hash to the manifest baselines.
• The tests ignore findings only for articles the branch itself changes without a receipt (verify().unreceipted).
• They keep committed receipts for other articles, so they also keep working once real receipts merge. Previously they replaced the whole receipts list.
• "The committed receipts file and articles pass" now allows exactly those unreceipted-article findings and nothing else. On main it is unchanged, because nothing is unreceipted there.

The in-bounds judgement happens in the gate step of the same job, which has the base. No synthetic tamper test was dropped. New tests run each tamper class without a receipt in the awaiting mode.

Additional historical articles (migration/additional-articles.json) are not covered by receipts: receipt slugs must be one of the 209 restored articles, and verifyAdditionalArticles runs before any receipt handling. An edit to one stays a real check failure; that is #97.

Build and check stay in step. npm run build is the strict gate followed by npm run build:after-fidelity, which the check job runs after its flagged gate. A test fails if build gains a step outside build:after-fidelity, if either workflow stops running its commands, or if the gate starts reading an environment variable. .coderabbit.yaml now describes these steps instead of asking for npm run build in check.

CONTRIBUTING.md describes both statuses, the guard and the approval check. It replaces the "A later CI step could compare the recorded logins…" sentence and asks for both check and receipts to be required.

New required check

receipts: the job in the "Check documentation" workflow (GitHub Actions). The existing check keeps its name.

Results

Each PR branch was merged locally into this branch (current main plus this change) as a merge commit, like the workflow's checkout. The base was extracted the same way.

1. Current main (head 1a2ed6b)

• The strict gate passes, and so does npm run build (601 HTML pages checked).
• The check job commands pass: the guard, npm test (89 tests, all passing; 66 on main today, not 68), the flagged gate and npm run build:after-fidelity.
• The receipts job passes: no article awaiting; the approval step is skipped outside a PR, and on a PR event with no receipt changes it passes after reading the reviews.

2. Wording branches

PR	Strict gate	check commands	receipts
#133	fails	pass; awaiting how-to-run-seednode, phase-zero; build and site check pass	fails, lists both
#100	fails	pass; awaiting foss, teams; build and site check pass	fails, lists both
#146	fails	pass; awaiting "reputation: alt text of source-image-4 changed; its receipt must list it in changed_image_alt_text"; image count 130; build and site check pass	fails, same line
#147	fails	pass; awaiting "reputation2: alt text of source-image-1 changed; …"; build and site check pass	fails, same line

Across all 77 open PRs: 71 behave like the four above:

• the guard passes;
• the strict gate fails;
• npm test passes;
• the check gate passes, listing 98 articles awaiting a receipt;
• receipts fails, listing the same slugs.

No PR is flagged by the guard or by the figure-link rule. #98 changes no article, so everything passes.

These fail check on real findings:

• Add the BSQ SegWit derivation path #99: backing-up-your-wallet-seed records new line-break formatting in migration/source-formatting.json and changes its wording in the same PR. The base has no formatting yet, so the gate cannot compare; propose the formatting change first. Its other two articles are awaiting.
• Require a valid signature without assigning ultimate trust #122: downloading-and-installing turns three <pre><code> blocks into inline <code> (with <span> anchors). The gate reports "adds or removes <pre>"; code-block changes need their own decision.
• Restore the Committee anchor in Project management #141: proposals replaces the [section not recovered: Submit to the DAO] marker (<small class="wiki-link-gap">) with a section link. The gate reports "adds or removes <small class="wiki-link-gap">"; markers need their own decision. project-management is awaiting.
• Keep emergency payout keys local #97 and Clarify when the delayed payout is published #170: see 3 and 4.

3. #170 (cash-by-mail) still fails check:

• npm test: "Section repair source changed: cash-by-mail" in section-repairs.test.mjs;
• the gate step: the edit removes <small class="wiki-link-gap">, which no receipt may do either.

4. #97 (content/emergency-multisig-local-signing) merges cleanly with this branch. All three commands fail with "additional rendered article drift: emergency-multisig-payout-tool (formatted source)": the strict gate, the check gate and receipts (listed there as an "other finding"). npm test also fails (the additional-articles test, and the receipt tests, because verify() cannot run). The guard passes: the PR doesn't touch migration/additional-articles.json. The article is one of the three additional historical articles. Receipts cannot cover it, so the edit can never be awaiting a receipt; it needs its own decision on how additional articles may change.

5. Synthetic tampering, no receipt, through the check job commands (each case committed on top of this branch, then the guard and the gate)

Case	Guard	Gate
Edited raw source (public/wiki-source/foss.wiki.txt)	fails	fails: immutable raw wikitext drift
Article edited, restored_file_sha256 refreshed	fails	fails: original author body drift
Article edited, all four per-article hashes refreshed	fails	passes (as on main)
Article edited, formatted hash in source-formatting.json refreshed	passes	fails: source formatting no longer reconstructs the original bytes
Media file replaced under public/media/	fails	passes (as on main)
AI-edited snapshot edited	fails	fails: snapshot drift
Heading text changed, heading anchor changed (teams)	passes	fails: changes heading 2
Image and figure link swapped (trading-monero)	passes	fails: changes the figure source-image-2 or the link that opens it
Only the figure link retargeted	passes	fails: same
Only the image asset swapped	passes	fails: changes the image source-image-2
Added <span hidden>, added <div>	passes	fails: adds or removes markup
Text next to a recovery safeguard (last-resort-restore)	passes	fails: changes the text around the recovery safeguard
Control: alt-text-only edit (reputation)	passes	passes, awaiting with the figure named
Control: in-bounds wording edit (teams)	passes	passes, awaiting

Not settled

• Write access with the fork token. The fork token reads authorCanPushToRepository. Its value has not yet been counted on an actual approval, because no approving review exists here.
• CodeRabbit's suggestion to pass the base through an environment variable, so check could run plain npm run build, is not taken: the brief rules out an environment variable, because one set anywhere would relax the strict gate. The step-pinning test above covers the drift it worried about.
• Guard scope. The guard runs only on pull requests, as asked. npm run build locally and in pages.yml still trusts the committed manifest, which is fine as long as main changes only through reviewed PRs.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added a recovery guide for Bisq instances that cannot start and have no usable backup, including steps to restore data and troubleshoot wallet balances.
  • Added a guide to trading Monero, covering payment verification, automatic confirmation, settings, and supported explorer checks.
  • Clarified contribution guidance for wording proposals, receipt checks, approval requirements, and branch protections.
• Checks and validation
  • Pull requests now receive additional checks for article changes, accepted-edit receipts, and matching approvals. These checks also run when pull-request reviews are submitted or dismissed.

The pull-request checks now classify eligible wording edits as awaiting receipts and validate receipt approvals against GitHub reviews. The workflow extracts pull-request base files, runs both checks, and retains the build checks.

Changes: Accepted-edit receipt checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Base-aware source-fidelity checks scripts/check-source-fidelity.mjs, scripts/check-awaiting-receipts.mjs, scripts/accepted-edits.test.mjs, scripts/fixtures/restored/*	Verification can use supplied base files to classify eligible edits as awaiting receipts. The CLI reports awaiting edits separately from other findings. Tests cover base matching, unreceipted changes, and restored article fixtures.
Receipt approval validation scripts/lib/receipt-approvals.mjs, scripts/check-receipt-approvals.mjs, scripts/receipt-approvals.test.mjs	The approval check compares changed receipt items with pull-request reviews. It validates reviewer identity, approval of the current head, write access, and the required distinct approver count.
CI workflow and contributor instructions .github/workflows/check.yml, package.json, CONTRIBUTING.md	The workflow runs the checks for pull requests and review changes, using extracted base files. Build scripts and contributor guidance describe the check behavior and approval requirements.

Merge Risk: Low · up to aea66

The new receipt checks work as described. Before merge, restore npm run build in the required check job so future build changes keep running there. Consider adding a timeout to the GitHub API request so a stalled call fails quickly instead of holding the check.

Add a timeout to the GraphQL request.

fetch has no timeout or abort signal. If the GitHub API stalls, the receipts job waits for the runner default of 6 hours. The workflow sets no timeout-minutes. A stalled request blocks a required check for that time. Use AbortSignal.timeout so a stalled request fails fast. The existing catch in runApprovalCheck then reports it.

     const response = await fetch(url, {
       method: "POST",
       headers: { authorization: `bearer ${token}`, "content-type": "application/json", "user-agent": "bisq-documentation-receipt-approvals" },
       body: JSON.stringify({ query, variables }),
+      signal: AbortSignal.timeout(30_000),
     });
