A message containing a double quote closes the string early and the remainder is re-parsed as shell words. This is what broke main after #248 merged. That PR's title contained "Unclear at this time." (with quotes), so the merge commit message did too, and the line bash actually ran was: git commit -m "Fill "Unclear at this time." from primary operator docs ..." which git received as: -m "Fill Unclear" at this "time. from primary operator docs ..." Hence `error: pathspec 'at' did not match any file(s) known to git`, a failed run, and the revert in 80c19fc. The data in that PR was fine — robots.py --convert exits 0 against it and code/tests.py passes 13/13. The same interpolation is also a script-injection vector, which is the more important reason to change it: a PR title is attacker-controlled, and chore: tidy"; ; echo " executes that command on the runner with the workflow's token. `inputs.message` has the same shape in the `if [ -n ... ]` test and its own `git commit -m`, so all three are moved. Passing through `env:` and quoting the shell variable is GitHub's documented recommendation for untrusted values. The variable is expanded by bash after parsing, so quotes, newlines and `$(...)` stay literal text. Verified: code/tests.py 13/13 · python code/robots.py --convert exits 0 and leaves robots.txt, table-of-bot-metrics.md and every server-config output byte-identical · reproduced both the parse failure and the injection locally against the old form, and confirmed the env form commits the same message verbatim, quotes included. --- .github/workflows/main.yml | 11 +++++++---- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/main.yml b/.github/workflows/main.yml index 36e7a1c..7bbb11a 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/main.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/main.yml @@ -21,7 +21,10 @@ jobs: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: fetch-depth: 2 - - run: | + - env: + INPUT_MESSAGE: ${{ inputs.message }} + HEAD_COMMIT_MESSAGE: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }} + run: | pip install beautifulsoup4 git config --global user.name "ai.robots.txt" git config --global user.email "ai.robots.txt@users.noreply.github.com" @@ -39,10 +42,10 @@ jobs: echo "No staged changes to commit.

OpenAI documents it at https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/bots as the fourth of its four crawlers. Two things in that entry are worth recording in the fields rather than leaving to the reader: - The page does not say OAI-AdsBot obeys robots.txt, and gives no disallow example, so "respect" is "Unclear at this time." rather than the "Yes" the other three OpenAI crawlers carry. - OpenAI states the data is not used to train foundation models, and that the crawler only visits pages submitted as ads. What makes it belong on this list is the other half of the same paragraph: content from the landing page is also used to "determine when it's most relevant to show the ad to users". Only robots.json is changed; the other files are regenerated automatically.
