What

  • .github/dependabot.yml: npm is checked daily; @unbrained/pm-cli and pm-* packages arrive as one pm-toolchain PR, other minor/patch updates as one dependencies PR. Other ecosystems are unchanged.
  • .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 test (26), test (22.18.0), 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.

Summary by cubic

Automates landing Dependabot version bumps so a pm CLI release reaches every package without a hand-written certification PR.

  • npm is checked daily; @unbrained/pm-cli and pm-* packages arrive in one pm-toolchain PR, other minor/patch updates in one dependencies PR.
  • A least-privilege workflow enables squash auto-merge for the pm-toolchain group (calendar-versioned, so a year rollover reads as semver-major) and for any other update classified minor or patch.
  • Branch protection still requires the test checks, so a failing bump stays open as a defect; major or unclassified updates still need a person.

Written for commit ccfc6af. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by Sourcery

Automate the safe delivery of dependency updates by grouping daily npm bumps and auto-merging eligible Dependabot pull requests after required checks pass.

Enhancements:

  • Configure daily npm Dependabot updates with separate grouped pull requests for the pm toolchain and other minor or patch dependencies.
  • Automatically enable squash auto-merge for eligible green Dependabot updates while retaining manual review for major or unclassified updates.
  • Restrict the auto-merge workflow to Dependabot pull requests in the target organization with least-privilege permissions.

Chores:

  • Record the associated pm task and history metadata.

…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

  • Other
    • Dependency update pull requests are now created daily and grouped into toolchain updates and other package updates.
    • Eligible toolchain, minor, and patch updates can merge automatically when required checks pass.
    • Major updates outside the toolchain group are not included in the automatic merge path.

Walkthrough

Dependabot now checks npm updates daily and separates pm-toolchain updates from other dependencies. A GitHub Actions workflow enables squash auto-merge for eligible pull requests. Task records and the changelog document the rollout.

Changes

Dependabot automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Daily schedule and update groups
.github/dependabot.yml
The npm schedule changes to daily. The pm-toolchain group includes @unbrained/pm-cli and pm-*; the dependencies group excludes those packages and allows minor and patch updates.
Eligible pull request auto-merge
.github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml
The workflow fetches Dependabot metadata and enables squash auto-merge for pm-toolchain updates or semver minor and patch updates.
Rollout records and changelog
.agents/pm/history/*, .agents/pm/tasks/*, CHANGELOG.md
The task record and history document the rollout criteria and review decisions. The changelog records daily grouping and automatic merging of eligible updates.

Reviewer's Guide

This PR changes npm Dependabot to run daily with separate PM toolchain and general dependency groups, then adds a narrowly scoped, least-privilege workflow that uses pinned metadata to auto-merge green eligible updates while preserving human review for non-PM major updates; repository settings enable auto-merge and merged-branch cleanup.

Summary

This PR adds daily grouped Dependabot updates and a workflow that enables squash auto-merge for eligible updates.

  • pm-toolchain updates qualify regardless of their version classification; other updates must be minor or patch.
  • Changes since the last review only clarify the task description and add completion details with a matching history event.
  • No new actionable issues or custom-rule violations were found. No previous review threads were supplied.

…sions

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.
