This should make it easier to hoist them up as pipeline results where Chains will see them.

Also includes removing the dead cosign workspace and param (from when we were planning to sign the test-result artifact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The StepAction replaces the combined JSON test output with separate ARTIFACT_URI and ARTIFACT_DIGEST results. Task declarations, result handling, tests, and documentation now use the two plain-text results. The test Task also removes signing-key configuration.

Changes

Attestation result flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Separate result contract and output handling
stepactions/attest-test-result/0.1/attest-test-result.yaml
The StepAction removes TEST_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS and adds ARTIFACT_URI and ARTIFACT_DIGEST. It clears both result files independently on errors and writes the URI and digest separately on success.
Task wiring and validation
tests/test-task.yaml, tests/integration/wrapper-task.yaml, stepactions/attest-test-result/0.1/spec/attest_test_result_spec.sh, tests/integration/spec/attest_integration_spec.sh, stepactions/attest-test-result/0.1/README.md
Task mappings, tests, integration assertions, and README examples use separate string results. The test Task creates an unsigned attestation and removes signing-key wiring.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29b9b

The result contract has changed to separate URI and digest values, but the published StepAction description still documents the removed result name. This can mislead consumers and should be corrected before merge.

Expose attestation URI and digest as plain string results

✨ Enhancement 🕐 Less than 10 minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Replaces the composite attestation output with separate URI and digest string results.
• Emits empty strings on errors so callers receive consistent result values.
• Enables task and pipeline result hoisting for Tekton Chains discovery.

High-Level Assessment

Separate string results are the most practical approach because Tekton callers can reference and hoist each value directly. Retaining a single JSON object was considered, but it preserves the field-extraction limitation that prevents straightforward pipeline result exposure to Chains.

Split attestation output into URI and digest results

• Replaces the JSON TEST_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS result with separate ARTIFACT_URI and ARTIFACT_DIGEST string results. Success paths write each value directly, while error handling initializes both outputs to empty strings.

Action required

1. Result migration breaks CI ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The unit extractor leaves both new Tekton result substitutions unresolved, so Bash treats them as
failing command substitutions before tests can run. Integration tests also continue selecting the
removed JSON result, causing the required CI jobs to fail.
Code

stepactions/attest-test-result/0.1/attest-test-result.yaml[R39-42]

+    - name: ARTIFACT_URI
+      description: URI of the image the attestation was attached to.
+    - name: ARTIFACT_DIGEST
+      description: Digest of the pushed attestation.
Evidence
The new script references two result paths, while the unit harness replaces only the old path and
defines only one result file. Both unit and integration suites are mandatory workflow jobs, and
integration assertions explicitly select the removed result name and parse its former JSON value.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The StepAction now emits `ARTIFACT_URI` and `ARTIFACT_DIGEST`, but unit and integration tests still use `TEST_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS`. Update test setup and assertions for two independent scalar result files.

## Issue Context
The ShellSpec extraction currently replaces only the removed Tekton path, leaving the new expressions to execute as Bash command substitutions. The integration wrapper and assertions also expose and query the removed result.

Remediation recommended

2. Documentation exposes removed result ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability
Description
The README and example Task still instruct consumers to declare TEST_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS, even
though the StepAction no longer emits it. Following the documented usage therefore fails to expose
the new URI and digest results to Chains.
Code

stepactions/attest-test-result/0.1/attest-test-result.yaml[R39-42]

+    - name: ARTIFACT_URI
+      description: URI of the image the attestation was attached to.
+    - name: ARTIFACT_DIGEST
+      description: Digest of the pushed attestation.
Evidence
The StepAction declares only the two new scalar results, but its description, result table,
chain-of-trust explanation, and example Task all continue presenting the removed JSON result as the
mechanism Chains consumes.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Update the public result contract and usage example to use `ARTIFACT_URI` and `ARTIFACT_DIGEST` rather than the removed JSON result.

## Issue Context
The README currently promises an `*_ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS` result and shows consumers declaring the old object. The example Task repeats that obsolete contract and does not expose the new scalar outputs.

Emit ARTIFACT_URI and ARTIFACT_DIGEST strings instead of a single
object-typed _ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS result.

I had some difficulty getting the object result to propagate through
to a pipeline result for Tekton Chains and switched to a plain
string pair to get unblocked. Now that it's working I think it's
probably the better approach regardless.

Chains works the same for both, but the strings hoist with a
one-line `value:` at each level and can't silently degrade to an
unparseable value the way a mis-typed object result can.

It should be possible to switch back if we decide we want to by
using the [*] syntax, but at this stage I'm happy to leave it as-is.

Example syntax that Claude thinks should work:
   value: $(tasks.dummy-check.results.TEST_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS[*])

Ref: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/EC-2011
Co-authored-by: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The attestation is unsigned; trust comes from Tekton
Chains-generated SLSA provenance, not from signing the artifact.
Drop the leftover cosign-key-path param mapping (the StepAction no
longer declares it), the now-orphaned cosign-keys workspace, and fix
the task description to say "unsigned".

Update the stale result name in the StepAction description.

Line 17 still says that Tekton Chains uses the removed ARTIFACT_OUTPUTS result. This StepAction now publishes ARTIFACT_URI and ARTIFACT_DIGEST. Replace the old name so the published description matches the result contract.

As per path instructions, focus on major issues impacting performance, readability, maintainability and security; this is a maintainability risk in the public result contract.
