Summary

  • add the canonical public CLA workflow with the standard Ultralytics license header
  • use ultralytics/actions/cla@main so repositories inherit shared fixes automatically
  • route actionable events at the job boundary and grant only actions: write and pull-requests: write
  • keep the ledger PAT isolated to the CLA step and central ultralytics/cla repository

Deleted: nothing. No CLA workflow or repository-local equivalent existed; organization-wide CLA enforcement cannot be achieved by deletion or relocation in this repository.

Reused: the canonical ultralytics/actions/.github/workflows/cla.yml structure and shared ultralytics/actions/cla@main implementation.

Validation

  • byte-for-byte comparison with the reviewed ultralytics/actions/.github/workflows/cla.yml template
  • actionlint .github/workflows/cla.yml
  • npx prettier --write .github/workflows/cla.yml
  • license-header, shared-main-action, and token-input scan
  • git diff --check

👋 Hello @glenn-jocher, thank you for submitting a ultralytics/flickr_scraper 🚀 PR! This automated checklist helps ensure a seamless integration, and an engineer will assist with any questions:

  • Define a Purpose: Clearly explain the purpose of your fix or feature in your PR description, and link to any relevant issues. Ensure your commit messages are clear, concise, and adhere to the project's conventions.
  • Synchronize with Source: Confirm your PR is synchronized with the ultralytics/flickr_scraper main branch. If it's behind, update it by clicking the 'Update branch' button or by running git pull and git merge main locally.
  • Ensure CI Checks Pass: Verify all Ultralytics Continuous Integration (CI) checks are passing. If any checks fail, please address the issues.
  • Update Documentation: Update the relevant documentation for any new or modified features.
  • Add Tests: If applicable, include or update tests to cover your changes, and confirm that all tests are passing.
  • Sign the CLA: Please ensure you have signed our Contributor License Agreement if this is your first Ultralytics PR by writing "I have read the CLA Document and I sign the CLA" in a new message.
  • Minimize Changes: Limit your changes to the minimum necessary for your bug fix or feature addition. "It is not daily increase but daily decrease, hack away the unessential. The closer to the source, the less wastage there is." — Bruce Lee

The workflow matches the supported Ultralytics CLA action configuration and is safely pinned. The PR description needs the repository-required deletion/justification entry before it can pass the project review gate.
