feat: tell the members of an organization about its commits and its mentions - #1368
Sixth layer of letting organizations post commits (#938), on top of #1361: the admins and members of an organization now hear about it in their own notifications.
What they hear about: replies to the organization's commits, quotes of them, stars on them, commits that mention the organization, and its rejected commits.
What they see: the organization's pending and rejected commits, like the person who posted them.
Who hears: every admin and member, the one who posted included, except whoever did it.
How it reads: said as the organization's, like replied to @laravel's commit or mentioned @laravel, linking to the organization's commit.
Before this, only the member who posted heard about replies, quotes and stars, worded as their own commit ("replied to your commit"), and nobody heard about mentions of the organization. The organization's own replies, quotes and mentions still notify no one: the next layer sends those with the organization as the actor.
Changes
notifications.organization_id, new and nullable:
Why: a member hears about something as one of the organization's members, and the inbox has to say so and link to the organization's commit. Membership can change, so it can't be worked out when the notification is read.
Who sees it: the recipient, in the inbox wording, and apps, as organization in /api/v1/notifications. It is also in the data export.
When it is deleted: with its notification, and when GitHub no longer has the organization: DeleteOrganization deletes those notifications first, in code. The foreign key doesn't cascade.
The migration adds the column, then the foreign key as NOT VALID, which it validates afterwards so the scan doesn't block new notifications. It then builds a partial index (WHERE organization_id IS NOT NULL) concurrently. It runs outside a transaction and can be run again.
ProfileRecipientsQuery: who hears about a profile, to join on. A user's profile is heard about by the user, an organization's by each of its members, with the organization.
Replies, quotes and stars: they notify the recipients of the commit's author (author_id) instead of whoever posted it (user_id), minus whoever acted. Mutes and blocks still apply between each recipient and whoever acted. For personal commits nothing changes, since a user's profile id is their user id.
Mentions: they add the members of each organization the commit mentions (commit_topics).
Someone mentioned both directly and through an organization hears about it once, for themselves.
Whoever already hears about it as a reply or a quote isn't told again, members included.
Every member is told, with the reason: "@laravel's commit was rejected", linking to /@{organization}/commits/{id}.
Each member is their own actor, as for personal rejections, so nothing reveals who posted.
The Operations feed lists the rejection once, under the poster.
Members see the organization's unapproved commits:
CommitBuilder::visibleTo, Commit::isVisibleTo and imagesAreVisibleTo let members see the organization's pending and rejected commits and their images.
Moderation notifications only show while the recipient is still a member.
The status badge says "Only @laravel's members can see it" instead of "Only you".
@world and Tom answer the organization's commits, as they would anyone's, which feat: let members post commits as their organization #1361 had turned off: @world greets the author, so "Hello, Laravel.", not whoever posted, and Tom addresses @laravel. Every member hears about their replies.
Removed members: membership is read when notifying, so a removed member gets nothing new and keeps what they already had.
API:NotificationResource adds organization (an OrganizationResource, or null). It is additive.
Inbox:
It says "@laravel's commit" or "mentioned @laravel" for an organization's notifications, and links stars and moderation to the organization's commit.
A quote shows the organization's quoted commit to every member, not just the one who posted it, unless only its poster may see it, like a rejected one.
What a member hears about for an organization only groups with what they hear about for that organization, never with their own.
First commits: a newcomer's first commit doesn't also notify the members of an organization it quotes or mentions, who already hear about it, as for people it mentions.
KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md describes what members hear about.

Decisions for this layer (#938), asked before building
Who is notified when the organization (@laravel) is mentioned in a commit? All its admins and members.
When the organization replies to, mentions or quotes someone who blocked or muted the person who posted for it? They're notified anyway (next layer): the organization is not the person who posted. The poster acts on the organization's behalf; unless the organization itself is blocked or muted, who posted doesn't matter.
Which members are notified about the organization's commits (replies, quotes, stars)? Every admin and member except whoever acted, the poster included.
What happens to a removed member's organization notifications? They keep those they already got, and get no new ones.
Who hears about a rejected organization commit? Every admin and member, not only the person who posted it. They all see its pending and rejected commits too, as the link has to open.
Settled while planning: the notification stores the organization it is for (organization_id), so the wording survives membership changes, and the organization as an actor comes in its own layer, since notifications.actor_id has to point to profiles.
Decisions for organization commits (#938), made before building
Who can post as an organization? Admins and members: anyone listed on the org's dev/null page.
What do readers see? Only the organization, like a brand account. The person who posted is recorded for moderation and accountability.
Who is notified of replies, stars, quotes and mentions of the org and its commits? All its admins and members, in their own notifications.
Where do members see who posted an org commit? Nowhere in v1: it's stored, not shown.
Do blocks and mutes apply to org commits? No: blocking or muting the person who posted doesn't hide the org's commits, as that would reveal who posted.
API? It follows the internal model, built for the long term: breaking changes are fine.
How is the author stored? Each commit's author_id points to the profile it's from, a person or an organization, and user_id stays the account that posted it.
How is it split? Stacked PRs, each reviewable and deployable on its own.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Organization members can see their organization’s pending and rejected commits, including associated images, and receive notifications for relevant replies, quotes, stars, mentions, and moderation decisions.
Organization activity now appears in commit and mention listings, with organization-specific labels and links in notifications and exports.
Approved organization commits can receive hello-world replies, and Tom can respond to commits addressed to him.
Bug Fixes
People mentioned both personally and through an organization receive only one notification.
Organization notifications are removed when the organization is deleted.
The change extends organization commit visibility and member notifications. Notification records and outputs now include organization identity. Organization activity receives distinct inbox grouping and organization-specific display text. Approved organization commits can also receive hello-world replies and trigger Tom replies under the existing addressing checks.
Commit access checks and queries include organization members for organization commits, including non-approved commits and their images. The feature test covers pending commit visibility.
A shared recipient query resolves users and organization members. Notification actions create organization-scoped notifications for replies, quotes, stars, mentions, and rejections. Approved organization commits can receive hello-world replies and trigger Tom replies. Organization deletion removes its notifications.
Notification queries filter and group organization activity, and load quoted commits authored by the recipient’s organization. API and export records include organization data. Operations events exclude organization notifications that do not represent the commit poster.
Notification data types and displays include organization identity. Organization notifications use organization-specific links and wording, including for rejected commits. Tests cover organization notification text and rejected-commit visibility messages.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to a5f19
Organization members now see pending and rejected commits and receive notifications about them. A member who is removed can still open saved image links for those non-public commits for up to roughly two hours. Recheck current access when serving signed image URLs before merging.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to a5f19
Organization membership now grants access to pending and rejected commit images. Removing a member stops new direct access, but image links already issued to that member remain usable and shareable until expiry. This extends an existing access pattern to more people. Current-membership checks, link expiry, and deletion controls limit the exposure.
Retained concerns
High · security · inferred: Organization-member image access inherits bearer grants that outlive membership. A member can obtain a signed URL for a pending or rejected organization commit image, then continue fetching it after removal or share it with an unauthenticated recipient until expiry. The signature mechanism is pre-existing; the PR materially widens who can obtain these grants.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The expanded exposure is organization-scoped private imagery accessible to newly eligible members. A removed member or unauthenticated recipient needs a valid URL for each image; one URL does not establish access to other organizations, arbitrary storage objects, credentials, or administrative privileges.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The retained findings describe the same image-grant boundary: obtain a temporary URL while entitled as an organization member, lose membership or forward the URL, then access the image through signature authorization without current membership. The PR expands issuance eligibility rather than introducing the signature branch.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Notification fanout preserves the acting user's identity and excludes self-notifications. Reply, quote, and mention producers apply mute/block controls, and the common inbox relevance query applies silenced-actor filtering. Organization identity provides context rather than replacing recipient ownership.
observed — Membership removal revokes direct private-commit access and removes rejected notifications from the inbox. Historical export records retain organization handle, commit identifier, rejection reason, and timestamps, but do not load commit bodies.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Deletion is stronger than membership revocation for existing image grants: deleted commits fail image authorization even with a valid URL. Organization deletion soft-deletes its commits before deleting organization records, and image-controller tests cover expiry and deletion denial.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — If membership removal must revoke future image fetches immediately, require current authorization when redeeming private-image links or use revocable grants. Otherwise, explicitly define temporary links as shareable bearer access that survives membership removal until expiry.

feat: tell the members of an organization about its commits and its mentions
Nov 1, 2026
Recheck organization membership when serving temporary image URLs.
imagesAreVisibleTo() now authorizes organization members, so CommitResource gives them temporary URLs for non-approved commits. ShowCommitImageRequest accepts any valid signature without checking current membership. A removed member can therefore use a saved URL for roughly one to two hours after removal. Bind the URL to its recipient and recheck that recipient’s current access before streaming the image.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff comment about ShowCommitImageRequest: no change. The temporary URL is a bearer link by design, valid one to two hours, given to apps that have no web session. Someone who held it already had the image, so a removed member keeps nothing they couldn't have saved. It's the same as a moderator who loses their role, and as message images (two days). Binding each URL to its recipient would change how every signed image URL works, beyond this PR.

Length of output: 1968
@mnapoli Understood. I withdraw the outside-diff finding. ShowCommitImageRequest::authorize() explicitly accepts a valid signed URL without a web session. Continued access until expiry after membership or moderator-role removal is intentional bearer-link behavior, not a defect introduced by this PR. No change is needed.

Learning: Within repository "dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh", only for files matching one of ["app/Http/Requests/ShowCommitImageRequest.php"]: When reviewing app/Http/Requests/ShowCommitImageRequest.php, preserve the intentional bearer-link behavior of temporary signed image URLs issued to authorized apps without web sessions. Do not require recipient binding or immediate revocation solely because the recipient later loses organization membership or moderator status; an already-issued URL may remain usable until its expiry. This exception applies to already-issued temporary URLs, not authorization to obtain new URLs.
