In @.github/workflows/validate-community-plugins.yml:
- Line 71: The job name currently uses the template name: '${{ matrix.name }}
(${{ matrix.platform }})' which doesn't include the required 'validate' prefix
so the failure-aggregation script (which builds validateJobs by filtering for
jobs whose names start with 'validate') matches nothing; update the job name
template to include that prefix (e.g., 'validate - ${{ matrix.name }} (${{
matrix.platform }})') and also remove or disable continue-on-error: true on the
build step so real failures surface; alternatively, if you prefer not to rename
jobs, change the aggregation filter to match the existing name pattern, but the
straightforward fix is to prepend 'validate' to the job name and stop continuing
on error so validateJobs and failed counts reflect actual build results.
- Around line 89-108: The current conditional only injects the plugin into
test-project Packages/manifest.json when matrix.source == "git", so upm and
asset-store cases aren't actually tested; update the conditional that checks
matrix.source to also include "upm" (treating it the same as "git" by creating
the manifest and adding the dependency using matrix.name and matrix.package),
and add explicit handling for "asset-store" (either fail the job early with a
clear message or add the proper asset-store installation steps) so the workflow
does not silently run validations without the plugin present.
- Around line 52-60: The matrix construction currently exposes plugin.name and
plugin.package to inline Python interpolation which enables code injection; add
a unique id field to each plugin in community-plugins.yml (e.g., plugin.id),
include id: plugin.id in the matrix push where name/package/unity/platform are
set, and update the manifest-modification step to use the environment-variable
pattern with matrix.id (instead of interpolating matrix.name) when invoking the
Python script so the Python code reads the safe env var rather than executing
inline strings; ensure all places that previously used matrix.name for
interpolation (including the other occurrence) are switched to matrix.id and
that the new id is populated for every plugin entry.
- Around line 18-21: The workflow permissions are missing actions: read which is
required by github.rest.actions.listJobsForWorkflowRun(); update the permissions
block to include actions: read alongside contents: read and issues: write so the
report job can call the Actions API without a 403 (i.e., add the permission
entry "actions: read" in the same permissions mapping).

GitHub Actions listJobsForWorkflowRun API required permissions scope
💡 Result:
For REST API “List jobs for a workflow run” (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/jobs):
- Repo access: anyone with read access to the repository can call it. [1]
- PAT (classic): for a private repo, the token needs the
reposcope. [1] - Fine-grained PAT / GitHub App tokens: need Repository permissions → Actions: Read. [1][2]
- Public repos: can be called without authentication if you’re only accessing public resources. [1]
If calling from within a workflow using GITHUB_TOKEN: set workflow/job permissions to at least:
permissions:
actions: read(because the endpoint requires “Actions” read). [1]

Add actions: read permission for the report API call.
The report job calls github.rest.actions.listJobsForWorkflowRun() to fetch job results. This endpoint requires the actions: read permission; without it, the API call will fail with a 403 error and break the validation summary and issue reporting.

Prevent code injection in manifest modification by using environment variables instead of inline Python interpolation.
At line 104, matrix.name and matrix.package are directly interpolated into Python code, creating a code injection vulnerability. A malicious plugin registry entry could inject arbitrary Python commands. The proposed fix using environment variables is correct, but requires adding an id field to the plugin schema in community-plugins.yml to uniquely identify each package.
The fix should:
- Add
idfield to each plugin entry incommunity-plugins.yml(unique identifier for the package) - Include
id: plugin.idin the matrix at lines 52-60 - Replace the inline Python string interpolation (line 104) with the environment variable approach shown, using
matrix.idinstead ofmatrix.name

Fix job naming and filter mismatch that disconnects validation reporting from actual build failures.
Job names are set to ${{ matrix.name }} (${{ matrix.platform }}) which don't include a validate prefix, but the failure aggregation script filters for jobs starting with validate. This causes the filter to match zero jobs, making validateJobs an empty array and forcing failed to always be 0, which suppresses issue creation even when builds fail. Combined with continue-on-error: true on the build step, actual failures are hidden from the validation report.
Update the job name prefix and corresponding filter:

upm and asset-store sources are not properly validated in this step.
The conditional at line 89 only injects the plugin dependency for source == "git". For upm and asset-store sources, no manifest is created, so the build validation runs without the plugin actually being added to the test project. This produces a false signal — the build may pass or fail, but it's not testing the plugin itself.
The upm source should be handled the same way as git (added to manifest), while asset-store should either be explicitly unsupported or require different handling.

GitHub Actions jobs continue-on-error job level vs step level behavioral difference workflow fail
💡 Result:
continue-on-error at step level (jobs.<job_id>.steps[*].continue-on-error)
- Scope: Only that step. The job keeps running subsequent steps even if the step fails.
- Job/workflow result: The job can still end up “successful” even though the step failed (“allow this step to fail without failing the job”). [1]
- How to detect the real failure later: A failed
continue-on-errorstep has:steps.<id>.outcome == 'failure'(before continue-on-error is applied)steps.<id>.conclusion == 'success'(after continue-on-error is applied) [2]
continue-on-error at job level (jobs.<job_id>.continue-on-error)
- Scope: The whole job. If the job fails, it does not fail the workflow run (“allow this job to fail without failing the workflow”). [1]
- Matrix behavior / fail-fast interaction: It also affects whether other matrix jobs are canceled; with
continue-on-error: true, other jobs in the matrix keep running even if this job fails. [1]
Practical “workflow fail” difference
- Use step-level when you want the job to keep going past a risky step (but still be able to inspect that step’s outcome).
- Use job-level when you want an entire job (often a specific matrix leg like “experimental”) to be allowed to fail while the overall workflow still passes. [1]

Move continue-on-error from job level to step level.
At Line 15, continue-on-error: true is applied to the entire macOS job, allowing all matrix combinations to fail without failing the workflow. This diverges from Ubuntu and Windows, which apply continue-on-error at the step level (.github/workflows/build-tests-ubuntu.yml:139, .github/workflows/build-tests-windows.yml:75) using the same retry-on-failure pattern. Job-level tolerance prevents persistent failures from surfacing in CI; move this setting to the build step(s) instead to maintain consistent regression detection across all platforms.
