Why is this change necessary?

Since 2026-07-15, GitHub enables immutable OIDC subject claims for every newly created repository, and for any existing repository that is renamed or transferred. Their Actions tokens carry sub = repo:<org>@<org_id>/<repo>@<repo_id>:<context> instead of repo:<org>/<repo>:<context>.

create_oidc_assume_role_policy only emitted the legacy form, so every OIDC role this template creates (ECR push, CodeArtifact, central-infra IaC, application OIDC, workload deploy/preview) rejects tokens from new repos. Existing repos keep the legacy format until opted in, and GitHub has announced no retirement date for it, so both formats must be trusted.

How does this change address the issue?

  • New copier question central_infra_github_organization_id (validated as a positive integer, with help text explaining how to look it up), rendered into GITHUB_ORG_IDS in iac_management/lib/constants.py.
  • The trust policy sub condition now lists both repo:<org>/<repo>:<ctx> and repo:<org>@<org_id>/<repo>@*:<ctx>. The org ID is pinned; the repo ID is wildcarded (a TODO documents why that is acceptable and how to tighten it).
  • The sub condition always uses StringLike (previously StringEquals for ref-scoped roles), because the repo-ID wildcard would otherwise be compared literally and main-only roles would still reject new repos.
  • GithubOidcConfig validation:
    • restrictions may be None or a bare *; any other * or ? is rejected, so StringLike cannot silently widen a scoped role
    • repo_org must have an entry in GITHUB_ORG_IDS, with an error that explains how to find the ID (replaces a bare KeyError at policy build time)
  • TODOs pointing at removing the legacy format once all repos use immutable subjects, and at managing use_immutable_subject from the Repo class once terraform-provider-github#3582 ships.

What side effects does this change have?

  • Every existing GitHub OIDC role's trust policy updates in place on the next deploy (assumeRolePolicyDocument only; no creates, deletes, or replaces). Verified in the downstream aws-central-infrastructure preview: 56 roles in artifact-stores and 15 in iac-management.
  • Ref-scoped roles switch from StringEquals to StringLike. For literal restrictions (e.g. ref:refs/heads/main) this matches exactly the same tokens, and the new validation prevents wildcard restrictions.
  • Consumers must answer the new central_infra_github_organization_id question on their next copier update.
  • Consumers that build OIDC roles for repos in a second GitHub org must add that org to GITHUB_ORG_IDS; the validation error says how.

How is this change tested?

  • New unit tests in template/tests/unit/iac_management/test_oidc_assume_role_policy.py covering both sub patterns, ref-scoped roles, wildcard restriction rejection, bare * and explicit None restrictions, and unknown-org rejection.
  • Rendered locally with tests/copier_data/data1.yaml and checked the generated constants.py and .copier-answers.yml.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a setup question for the central infrastructure GitHub organization ID, with guidance for finding it.
    • OIDC role policies now support both legacy and immutable GitHub subject claims for known organizations.
    • Added validation for organization IDs and subject restrictions; unsupported wildcard patterns are rejected.

Repos created after 2026-07-15 (and repos renamed or transferred after then) get Actions OIDC tokens with sub repo:<org>@<org_id>/<repo>@<repo_id>:<context>, which the legacy-only trust condition rejects. Trust policies now list both the legacy subject and the immutable subject with the org ID pinned and the repo ID wildcarded. Adds the central_infra_github_organization_id copier question and a GITHUB_ORG_IDS mapping.
The immutable subject pattern wildcards the repo ID, which StringEquals treats literally, so roles scoped to a ref (e.g. main-only deploy, CodeArtifact publish) would still reject tokens from repos using immutable subjects. Literal restrictions match the same tokens under StringLike.
Now that every sub condition uses StringLike, a * or ? inside a restriction would silently widen a scoped role. GithubOidcConfig rejects such restrictions with a ValidationError naming them, while still allowing None and a bare * (used by ECR push roles).
GithubOidcConfig now rejects a repo_org missing from GITHUB_ORG_IDS at construction, with a message explaining how to look the ID up, instead of a bare KeyError while building the trust policy. Also renames the restrictions validator to _allow_only_bare_wildcard to make its intent clearer.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The template now collects a positive GitHub organization ID and uses it to validate OIDC configuration. Assume-role policies match both legacy and immutable-ID subject formats with StringLike conditions.

Branch-scoped roles that use a wildcard repository name could be assumed from any repository in the organization. Add validation that rejects wildcard repository names on restricted roles before merging.

Use a single-digit, a nine-digit, and a ten-digit (beyond 32-bit) org ID so template rendering is exercised across realistic and boundary lengths.
With every sub condition now using StringLike, a wildcard repo_name combined with a specific restriction (e.g. ref:refs/heads/main) would trust that ref in every repo in the org. GithubOidcConfig now rejects that combination, naming both values, while still allowing wildcard repo names when there is no restriction or a bare * restriction (as used by CoreInfraBaseAccess).
