TIANGOLO LOCKS DOWN WORKFLOW TOKENS ACROSS FASTAPI AND SQLMODEL

By RepoJournal · Filed · About FastAPI & Pydantic

FastAPI and SQLModel are ditching long-lived personal access tokens for short-lived OIDC-scoped credentials across all automated workflows, eliminating a persistent supply-chain attack surface.

Tiangolo is systematically replacing hardcoded PATs with ephemeral tokens from GitHub's PR Submit and PR Push apps across both repositories [1][2]. The new approach requests tokens through GitHub OIDC, configures Git authentication via `gh auth setup-git`, and attributes commits to bot identities rather than generic `github-actions[bot]` accounts [3][4][5][6]. All changes have been validated with YAML parsing, git diff checks, and zizmor security audits. On the Pydantic side, a fix landed for callable discriminators with PEP 695 type aliases [7][8], and docs reverting changes from an earlier PR merged cleanly [9][10]. The activity reflects a focused 24-hour push: 18 commits and 10 PRs across three desks, with the token migration dominating both FastAPI and SQLModel.
