The CloudAI release scan pipeline has no trigger today — every release scan is started by hand from Jenkins with the tag typed in. This forwards the GitHub release event to its webhook instead.

Fires on published and prereleased, so release candidates get scanned before anything ships. Firing only on a final release means the artifact is already public by the time a bad scan result comes back.

Runs on the self-hosted blossom runner because the Jenkins instance is not reachable from GitHub-hosted runners.

Paired with Mellanox/cloudaix#724, which adds the matching webhook trigger and maps $.release.tag_name onto CLOUDAI_SHA and CLOUDAI_VERSION.

Needs before this works

A RELEASE_CI_SERVER repository secret holding the full webhook URL including the cloudai-release token. The job fails loudly if it is unset rather than silently doing nothing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a workflow that runs for published releases and sends the full event payload to RELEASE_CI_SERVER after checking that the URL uses HTTPS. It also updates the lint job to select Python 3.14 directly and removes .python-version.

Changes

Release scan automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release event delivery
.github/workflows/release-scan.yml
The workflow runs on the blossom self-hosted runner. It validates the server URL and posts the full event payload as JSON with connection and total timeouts. It echoes the release tag after success. Shell and curl errors fail the step.

CI Python version selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lint Python version
.github/workflows/ci.yml, .python-version
The lint job now selects Python 3.14 directly. The .python-version file is removed.

The release webhook can run with unnecessary repository access if the default token permissions grant it. Disable those permissions before merging, or accept this bounded risk.

The release scan pipeline had no trigger, so it was started by hand from
Jenkins for every release. Forward the release event to its webhook
instead, and fire on pre-releases too so release candidates are scanned
before anything ships.

Runs on a self-hosted runner because the Jenkins instance is not
reachable from GitHub-hosted runners.

The Blossom scanner image resolves python through pyenv with its working
directory inside our checkout, so it reads .python-version, asks for 3.14
and exits before scanning. Removing the file for the duration of this PR
lets the scan run so the rest of the pipeline can be verified.

Revert this commit before merge. Tracked on HPCINFRA-4862.

/build

published already fires for pre-releases, so listening for both sent two
webhook requests for one pre-release.

The webhook URL carries the trigger token, so reject a non-https
RELEASE_CI_SERVER and restrict curl to https.

Closing as it would take time up until Blossom would allow this and probably lots of things will change anyways.
