What

  • .github/dependabot.yml: unchanged — cargo and GitHub Actions updates are already checked daily; there is no npm ecosystem in this repository.
  • .github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml: for Dependabot PRs only (and only in unbraind), dependabot/fetch-metadata (SHA-pinned v3.1.0) classifies the update; the pm-toolchain group (calendar-versioned, so a year rollover reads as semver-major) and every other non-major update get gh pr merge --auto --squash. Workflow default permissions are {}; the job alone gets contents: write + pull-requests: write.
  • Repository setting: auto-merge allowed, merged branches deleted.

Why

Fleet rule ([companion pm-cli-website-6d05]): a pm CLI release must reach every package without a hand-written certification PR. Branch protection still requires Rust ubuntu-latest, Rust macos-latest, Rust windows-latest, Release gate aggregate, so nothing merges red; a bump that fails CI stays open as a real defect. Major updates still need a person. Same change as the reviewed pilot unbraind/pm-presets#118.

pm item


Summary by cubic

Auto-merges green Dependabot version bumps so the pm toolchain reaches every package without a hand-written certification PR. Non-major Dependabot PRs now land automatically once the required checks pass; failing bumps stay open as defects.

  • Only updates dependabot/fetch-metadata classifies as minor or patch auto-merge; an unclassified update waits for a person unless it belongs to the calendar-versioned pm-toolchain group, which always auto-merges despite year rollovers reading as semver-major.
  • The workflow reads nothing from the PR, runs with {} default permissions, and grants contents: write plus pull-requests: write to the job only.
  • Branch protection still gates every merge, and the workflow is restricted to Dependabot PRs in the unbraind organization.
  • Rolled out from the reviewed pilot unbraind/pm-presets#118, proven on pm-presets#119; recorded in the changelog as pm-rust-p9bu.

Written for commit 49b8096. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by Sourcery

Automate the safe landing of eligible Dependabot updates while preserving branch protection and manual review for unrelated major upgrades.

New Features:

  • Add a workflow that automatically enables squash auto-merge for eligible Dependabot updates after required checks pass.

Enhancements:

  • Treat the calendar-versioned pm-toolchain group as eligible for automatic merging while leaving other major or unclassified updates for manual review.
  • Run the auto-merge workflow with least-privilege permissions and restrict it to Dependabot pull requests in the unbraind organization.

CI:

  • Automate merging of green non-major Dependabot pull requests through a dedicated GitHub Actions workflow.

Chores:

  • Record the change in the project task history and changelog.

…ne daily PR

Version bumps of @unbrained/pm-cli, pm-ops and pm-changelog are mechanical.
Dependabot now checks npm daily and groups the pm toolchain (and other
minor/patch updates) into single pull requests; a least-privilege workflow
enables squash auto-merge for every non-major Dependabot PR, so it lands as
soon as the required checks pass and a failing bump stays open as a defect.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Maintenance
    • npm dependency updates are grouped into separate toolchain and dependency pull requests.
    • Eligible non-major Dependabot updates can be squash-merged automatically once required checks pass. Major updates are not auto-merged.

Walkthrough

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow for Dependabot pull requests. The workflow enables squash auto-merge for pm-toolchain updates and other non-major updates. Task records document the update groups, merge criteria, and rollout.

The task record describes daily npm update groups and merge criteria. The workflow fetches Dependabot metadata and enables squash auto-merge for pm-toolchain updates or updates that are not semver-major. The history records the task lifecycle and rollout.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .agents/pm/history/pm-rust-p9bu.jsonl: Adds five history events: creates the task with its scope, acceptance criteria, references, and project files; claims it and marks it in progress; closes it with rollout details and removes its assignee; then releases the claim and updates the timestamp.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .agents/pm/tasks/pm-rust-p9bu.toon: Adds a closed task record for automating Dependabot updates: daily npm checks group @unbrained/pm-cli and pm-* packages into pm-toolchain, and other minor/patch updates into dependencies. Its criteria specify least-privilege workflow permissions, squash auto-merge only for non-major Dependabot updates, repository auto-merge enabled, and required checks gating merges. The record also identifies the related workflow and configuration files, pilot references, and rollout details.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml: Adds the Dependabot auto-merge workflow, gated to the unbraind repository and Dependabot pull requests. It pins the metadata action, grants job-level contents and pull-request write permissions, and runs gh pr merge --auto --squash for pm-toolchain updates or updates whose type is not semver-major; other semver-major updates skip the merge step.

Reviewer's Guide

Configures daily, grouped Dependabot updates and a least-privilege workflow that automatically enables squash auto-merge for green non-major updates, with a deliberate exception for the calendar-versioned pm-toolchain group; repository settings and PM tracking metadata complete the rollout.

Actions, replacing the inaccurate npm, `pm-toolchain`, and `dependencies`
details. Preserve the existing auto-merge, least-privilege, repository

Review feedback: an update that fetch-metadata cannot classify must not
auto-merge, so the condition now requires semver-minor or semver-patch
outside the calendar-versioned pm-toolchain group. The job's write scopes
are documented, the dependencies group selects every package explicitly,
and the item's acceptance criteria name the pm-toolchain exception.
