sync-nova-base.yml checked out and PR'd against whatever branch GitHub
considers the repo default - which is 'main', a read-only mirror kept in
sync FROM master (auto-pr.yml/auto-merge.yml only flow master -> main,
never the reverse). master is what the live app actually fetches configs
from (see wallet-android's CHAINS_URL etc. all pointing at .../master/...).
Net effect: every one of the 29 accumulated 'Sync from Nova Base' PRs
(#1 through #36, 2026-02-09 through 2026-07-09) landed on a branch nothing
downstream ever reads, so 5 months of upstream Nova chain/RPC/asset
maintenance never reached production regardless of whether those PRs got
merged. Explicit ref/base: master makes future runs target the branch that
actually matters; the 29 stale main-targeted PRs are being closed as
superseded now that #36's content has been applied to master directly (see
next commit).
master is where real development happens and gets pushed to directly
(main is the auto-synced mirror) - branch protection was just added to
master requiring these exact check contexts, but the workflows only
fired for PRs/pushes targeting main, so the required checks could never
actually run for a master PR, permanently blocking every future merge.
Every account_overrides.json/chains_for_testBalance.json entry has a
32-byte hex "account" field - a public AccountId32 (Substrate's public
account identifier), not a private key. The two share the same byte
length/hex format, but are fundamentally different: one is meant to be
public (it's literally how you address a chain account), the other
must stay secret. The scanner's regex can't tell them apart and flags
every single one, which just triggered a false "Possible private key
found" failure on PR #33 (the master->main sync).
This isn't a one-off - it'll fire on every future sync PR too, since
chains_for_testBalance.json always has these fields. Left as "FAILURE"
long-term, it trains reviewers to ignore this specific check, which is
exactly the alarm-fatigue failure mode that would let a real leaked
secret slip through unnoticed.
- Add sync_from_nova.py script to merge Nova chains with Pezkuwi overlay
- Add GitHub Action for daily auto-sync
- Sync all chains from nova-base (includes Polkadot Coretime and other missing chains)
- Pezkuwi chains appear first and take priority
This fixes DOT swap crash caused by missing Polkadot Coretime chain.
