## PR Title Conventions
Commits drive changelog generation. Follow Angular convention:
```
Format: <type>(<scope>): <summary>
Types: feat | fix | perf | test | docs | refactor | build | ci | chore
Scopes: API | benchmark | core | editor | * Node (optional)
Examples:
feat(editor): Add dark mode toggle
fix(Slack Node): Handle rate limiting correctly
perf(core): Optimize workflow execution by 20%
refactor: Migrate to TypeScript strict mode (no-changelog)
Breaking Changes: Add "BREAKING CHANGE:" footer with migration guide
Deprecations: Add "DEPRECATED:" footer with update path
Skip Changelog: Add "(no-changelog)" to PR title
```
See `pull_request_title_conventions.md` for full spec.

### Path-Filtered Workflows
These only run if specific files changed:
| Files Changed | Workflow | Branch |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|------------|
| `packages/@n8n/task-runner-python/**` | `ci-python.yml` | any |
| `packages/cli/src/databases/**`, `*.entity.ts`, `*.repository.ts` | `test-db.yml` | any |
| `packages/frontend/@n8n/storybook/**`, design-system, chat | `test-visual-storybook.yml` | master |
| `docker/images/n8n-base/Dockerfile` | `build-base-image.yml` | any |
| `**/package.json`, `**/turbo.json` | `build-windows.yml` | master |
| `packages/@n8n/ai-workflow-builder.ee/evaluations/programmatic/python/**` | `test-evals-python.yml` | any |
| `packages/@n8n/benchmark/**` | `build-benchmark-image.yml` | master |
| `packages/cli/src/public-api/**/*.{css,yaml,yml}` | `util-sync-api-docs.yml` | master |
### On PR Review
| Event | Workflow | Condition |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------------------|
| Review approved | `test-visual-chromatic.yml` | + design files changed |
| Comment with `@claude` | `util-claude.yml` | mention in any comment |
| Any review | `util-notify-pr-status.yml` | not community-labeled |
### On PR Close/Merge
| Event | Workflow |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
| PR closed (any) | `util-notify-pr-status.yml` |
| PR merged to `release/*` | `release-publish.yml` |
### Manual Triggers (PR Comments)
| Command | Workflow | Permissions |
|--------------------|------------------------------|---------------------|
| `/test-workflows` | `test-workflows-callable.yml`| admin/write/maintain|
**Why:** Re-run tests without pushing commits. Useful for flaky test investigation.
### Other Manual Workflows
| Workflow | Purpose |
|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| `util-claude-task.yml` | Run Claude Code to complete a task and create a PR |
| `util-data-tooling.yml` | SQLite/PostgreSQL export/import validation (manual) |
#### Claude Task Runner (`util-claude-task.yml`)
Runs Claude Code to complete a task, then creates a PR with the changes. Use for well-specced tasks or simple fixes. Can be triggered via GitHub UI or API.
Claude reads templates from `.github/claude-templates/` for task-specific guidance. Add new templates as needed for recurring task types.
**Inputs:**
- `task` - Description of what Claude should do
- `user_token` - GitHub PAT (PR will be authored by the token owner)
**Token requirements** (fine-grained PAT):
- Repository: `n8n-io/n8n`
- Contents: `Read and write`
- Pull requests: `Read and write`
**Governance:** If you provide your personal PAT, you cannot approve the resulting PR. For automated/bot use cases (e.g., dependabot-style updates via n8n workflows), an app token can be used instead.

### Other Release Workflows
| Workflow | Trigger | Purpose |
|----------------------------------|--------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| `release-standalone-package.yml` | Manual dispatch | Release individual packages (@n8n/codemirror-lang, @n8n/create-node, etc.) |
| `create-patch-release-branch.yml`| Manual dispatch | Cherry-pick commits for patch releases |
---
## Fork vs Internal PR
| Aspect | Internal PR | Fork PR |
|--------------------|----------------------------------|-------------------------|
| E2E Runner | `blacksmith-2vcpu-ubuntu-2204` | `ubuntu-latest` |
| E2E Mode | `docker-build` (multi-main) | `local` (SQLite) |
| E2E Shards | 14 + 2 | 6 + 2 |
| Test Command | `test:container:multi-main:*` | `test:local:*` |
| Secrets | Full access | None |
| Currents Recording | Yes | No |
| Failure Artifacts | No | Yes |
**Why:** Fork PRs cannot access repository secrets. Local mode with SQLite provides feedback without paid services.
---
## ci-master.yml
Runs on push to `master` or `1.x`:
```
Push to master/1.x
├─ build-github (populate cache)
├─ unit-test (matrix: Node 22.x, 24.13.1, 25.x)
│ └─ Coverage only on 24.13.1
├─ lint
└─ notify-on-failure (Slack #alerts-build)

## Telemetry
CI metrics are collected via webhooks to n8n, then stored in BigQuery for analysis.
See **[CI-TELEMETRY.md](CI-TELEMETRY.md)** for:
- Common data points (git, CI context, runner info)
- Existing implementations (build stats, container stack)
- How to add new telemetry
- BigQuery schema patterns and queries
---
## CODEOWNERS
Team ownership mappings in `CODEOWNERS`:
| Path Pattern | Team |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------|
| `packages/@n8n/db/src/migrations/` | @n8n-io/migrations-review |
---
## Runner Selection
| Runner | vCPU | Use Case |
|-------------------------------------|------|-----------------------------|
| `ubuntu-slim` | 1 | Gate jobs (required-checks) |
| `ubuntu-latest` | 2 | Simple jobs, fork PR E2E |
| `blacksmith-2vcpu-ubuntu-2204` | 2 | Standard builds, E2E shards |
| `blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2204` | 4 | Unit tests, typecheck, lint |
| `blacksmith-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204` | 8 | E2E coverage (weekly) |
| `blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2204-arm` | 4 | ARM64 Docker builds |
### Selection Guidelines
**`ubuntu-slim`** - Status check aggregation, gate/required-check jobs, notifications
**`ubuntu-latest`** - Simple build verification, scheduled maintenance, PR comment handlers, release tagging, Docker manifest creation, any job where speed is not critical
**`blacksmith-2vcpu-ubuntu-2204`** - Initial build/install (benefits from Blacksmith caching), database integration tests (I/O bound), Chromatic/Storybook builds
**`blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2204`** - Unit tests (parallelized), linting (parallel file processing), typechecking (CPU-intensive), E2E test shards
**`blacksmith-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204`** - Heavy parallel workloads, full E2E coverage runs
### Runner Provider Toggle
The `RUNNER_PROVIDER` repository variable controls runner selection across workflows:
| Value | Behavior |
|-------|----------|
| (unset) | Use Blacksmith runners (default) |
| `github` | Use GitHub-hosted `ubuntu-latest` |
**Note:** When set to `github`, all jobs use `ubuntu-latest` regardless of any runner inputs or defaults specified in reusable workflows. GitHub runners have fewer vCPUs (2 vs 4), so jobs may run slower.
---
## Security
### Why We Do This
Supply chain security ensures artifacts haven't been tampered with. We provide three types of signed attestations:
```
ATTESTATION (signed statement)
│
┌─────────────────┼─────────────────┐
│ │ │
▼ ▼ ▼
PROVENANCE SBOM VEX
"Trust the "Know the "Understand
build" contents" the risk"
```
| Attestation | Question It Answers |
|-------------|--------------------------------|
| **Provenance** | "Can we trust this artifact came from n8n's CI and wasn't tampered with?" |
| **SBOM** | "What dependencies are inside?" (license compliance, vulnerability scanning) |
| **VEX** | "The scanner found CVE-X - does it actually affect us or is it a false positive?" |
**How they relate:**
- **SBOM** is the ingredients list - input for both license checks AND security scanning
- **VEX** is the security triage output - "we investigated CVE-X, here's our assessment"
- **Provenance** proves the SBOM and VEX came from our CI, not an attacker
---
### Poutine (Supply Chain)
- **Runs on:** PR changes to `.github/**`
- **Detects:** Exposed secrets, insecure workflow configs
- **Output:** SARIF to GitHub Security tab
### Trivy (Container)
- **Runs on:** stable/nightly/rc Docker builds
- **Scans:** n8n image, runners image
- **Output:** Slack `#notify-security-scan-outputs` (all), `#mission-security` (critical)
### SBOM
- **Runs on:** release-publish
- **Format:** CycloneDX JSON
- **Signing:** GitHub Attestation API
- **Attached to:** GitHub Release
### SLSA L3 Provenance
SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) Level 3 provides cryptographic proof of build integrity.
| Artifact | Generator | Level |
|----------|-----------|-------|
| Docker images | `slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator` | L3 |
| npm packages | `NPM_CONFIG_PROVENANCE=true` | L3 |
**Docker provenance** uses the SLSA GitHub Generator as a reusable workflow (not an action). This is required for L3 because provenance must be generated in an isolated environment the build can't tamper with.
```yaml
# IMPORTANT: Must use semantic version tags (@vX.Y.Z), NOT commit SHAs.
# The slsa-verifier requires tagged versions to verify authenticity.
uses: slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator/.github/workflows/generator_container_slsa3.yml@v2.1.0
```
**Verify provenance:**
```bash
# Docker
slsa-verifier verify-image ghcr.io/n8n-io/n8n:VERSION \
--source-uri github.com/n8n-io/n8n
# npm
npm audit signatures n8n@VERSION
```
### VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange)
VEX documents which CVEs actually affect n8n vs false positives from scanners.
- **File:** `security/vex.openvex.json`
- **Format:** OpenVEX (broad scanner compatibility - Trivy, Docker Scout, etc.)
- **Attached to:** GitHub Release, Docker image attestations
- **Used by:** Trivy scans (via `security/trivy.yaml`)
**VEX Status Types:**
| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `not_affected` | CVE doesn't impact n8n (code not reachable, etc.) |
| `affected` | CVE impacts n8n, tracking fix |
| `fixed` | CVE was present, now fixed |
| `under_investigation` | Assessing impact |
**Verify VEX attestation:**
```bash
cosign verify-attestation --type openvex \
--certificate-identity-regexp '.*github.com/n8n-io/n8n.*' \
--certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
ghcr.io/n8n-io/n8n:VERSION
```
**Adding a CVE statement to security/vex.openvex.json:**
```json
{
"statements": [
{
"vulnerability": { "name": "CVE-2024-XXXXX" },
"products": [{ "@id": "pkg:github/n8n-io/n8n" }],
"status": "not_affected",
"justification": "vulnerable_code_not_in_execute_path",
"statement": "n8n does not use the affected code path in this dependency"
}
]
}
```

## Secrets
### By Category
| Category | Secrets |
|---------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| Package Publishing | `NPM_TOKEN`, `DOCKER_USERNAME`, `DOCKER_PASSWORD` |
| Notifications | `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL`, `QBOT_SLACK_TOKEN` |
| Code Quality | `CODECOV_TOKEN`, `CHROMATIC_PROJECT_TOKEN`, `CURRENTS_RECORD_KEY` |
| Error Tracking | `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN`, `SENTRY_ORG`, `SENTRY_*_PROJECT` |
| Cloud/CDN | `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`, `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` |
| GitHub Automation | `N8N_ASSISTANT_APP_ID`, `N8N_ASSISTANT_PRIVATE_KEY` |
| Benchmarking | `BENCHMARK_ARM_*`, `N8N_BENCHMARK_LICENSE_CERT` |
| AI/Evals | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `EVALS_LANGSMITH_*` |
### Scoping
- **`secrets: inherit`** - passes all secrets to reusable workflows
- **Explicit passing** - for minimal exposure
- **Environment: `benchmarking`** - Azure OIDC credentials
---
## Future Vision
### Redundancy Review
Comment trigger (`/test-workflows`) is a workaround.
Long-term: Main CI should be reliable enough to not need these.
### Workflow Testability
- Tools like `act` for local testing
- Unit tests for `.github/scripts/*.mjs`
- Validation with `actionlint`
