[Makisuo]

Why

The prd deploy (deploy-prd-instance.yml) and the quarterly restore drill (backup-restore-test.yml) each read a long-lived PlanetScale service token from Infisical. The deploy token can change prd schema. PlanetScale now trades a GitHub Actions OIDC token for a short-lived service token, the same way we already authenticate to AWS and Infisical.

What changes

• Both jobs run planetscale/auth-action (pinned to v1.0.0's SHA) after Infisical loads. They pass the minted token only to the step that needs it:
  • deploy: PLANETSCALE_API_TOKEN_ID / PLANETSCALE_API_TOKEN for alchemy
  • drill: PLANETSCALE_SERVICE_TOKEN_ID / PLANETSCALE_SERVICE_TOKEN for pscale
• Each GitHub environment gets its own trust, conditioned on that environment, so a maintenance job can't mint a deploy token.
• The trust ID is a GitHub environment variable, PLANETSCALE_OIDC_TRUST_ID. The org slug stays in Infisical (PLANETSCALE_ORGANIZATION / PLANETSCALE_ORG) because it's masked there and these run logs are public.
• docs/persistence.md and docs/backup-and-recovery.md describe the trusts and include the pscale oidc-trust create commands. This also drops the stale claim that the preview-orphan sweep uses the drill's token: previews moved to Neon and the sweep no longer touches PlanetScale.

Rollout

Done already (2026-11-14), in org makisuo, each trust --max-ttl 2700 and conditioned on repository_id, repository_owner_id and environment:

GitHub environment	Trust	Accesses
production	csvanxtokutm	maple: read_database, read_branch, connect_production_branch, delete_production_branch_password (same as the stored deploy token)
production-eu	n9e2iq2v3zle	the same four on maple-eu only
maintenance	zz5zjzl9qxir	the drill's seven accesses on maple

PLANETSCALE_OIDC_TRUST_ID is set on all three environments.

After merge:

1. Watch the prd deploy (us + eu) and run gh workflow run backup-restore-test.yml.
2. Once both are green, delete PLANETSCALE_API_TOKEN_ID / PLANETSCALE_API_TOKEN from Infisical prod and prod-eu, and revoke service token alchemy-deploy. The drill's token in dev also holds read_metrics_endpoints and connect_production_branch, so check nothing else reads it before revoking it.

Verification

• actionlint and oxfmt --check pass on the changed files.
• I read the action's source at the pinned SHA. It calls core.setSecret on the minted token, and its outputs match the names alchemy (AuthProvider.ts env resolution) and pscale read.
• Not exercised end to end: OIDC tokens only exist inside the trusted environments, so the first real run is the post-merge deploy and the dispatched drill (step 3).

Walkthrough

The restore and deployment workflows now obtain PlanetScale service tokens through GitHub OIDC. Documentation describes the trust configuration, token exchange, and restore access checks.

Changes: PlanetScale OIDC authentication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow authentication wiring .github/workflows/backup-restore-test.yml, .github/workflows/deploy-prd-instance.yml	Both workflows use planetscale/auth-action with organization and trust ID values. The restore and deployment commands receive the action’s service-token ID and token.
Trust setup and restore access documentation docs/backup-and-recovery.md, docs/persistence.md	The documentation describes OIDC trust setup, token duration, trust conditions, and database accesses. It also identifies which restore operations fail or leave a branch undeleted when accesses are missing.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 6f956

This moves PlanetScale access in the deploy and restore-drill workflows to short-lived OIDC credentials. The docs overstate how tightly the maintenance trust is scoped. Any job on main that uses that environment can obtain the restore drill's database accesses, and anyone who can push to main can write such a job. Correct the documentation and decide whether to add environment reviewers or a workflow-specific condition. Otherwise the change is low risk.

Explanation

The title "ci: mint PlanetScale credentials over OIDC instead of storing tokens" matches the main change. The PR replaces long-lived PlanetScale tokens read from Infisical with 45-minute credentials minted through planetscale/auth-action using GitHub Actions OIDC, in both the prd deploy and the restore drill workflows. The docs changes support the same change. The title is specific and concise, and it uses the conventional ci: prefix.

- Line 113: Correct the restore-drill trust-boundary statement in the
maintenance section to explain that any job running on main and referencing the
maintenance environment may request the token; do not imply that other
repository jobs are excluded. Establish whether this exposure is acceptable, and
if not, document or implement required environment approvals or a
workflow-specific OIDC restriction, after confirming the trust conditions
support it.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 10/10 · safe to merge. Delta since the last review is two docs files, which are out of scope; the OIDC exchange itself is unexercised until the post-merge deploy and dispatched drill.
_{no findings · tests not needed · risk high}

The only files changed since the last review are two docs pages recording the new PlanetScale OIDC trusts; no workflow or code changed. Nothing to review, and everything the docs claim matches the workflows at the head.

Before merge

• Env var · Add PLANETSCALE_OIDC_TRUST_ID to the repository's CI variables · .github/workflows/backup-restore-test.yml:68
• Manual · Watch the first deploy-prd.yml run for us and eu, then dispatch backup-restore-test.yml
• Manual · After both are green, delete PLANETSCALE_API_TOKEN_ID / PLANETSCALE_API_TOKEN from Infisical prod and prod-eu and revoke alchemy-deploy
