ci: add scheduled lockfile maintenance for transitive security updates - #180
Merged
Conversation
pnpm 11.x ignores targeted updates of transitive-only dependencies (pnpm/pnpm#12744), so Dependabot's security-update command is a silent no-op. A monthly and on-demand untargeted lockfile refresh lands the same fixes with workspace overrides untouched. Refs putdotio/putio-frontend#29 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a new GitHub Actions workflow to periodically (and manually) refresh pnpm-lock.yaml to pick up transitive security fixes that cannot be applied via targeted pnpm update under pnpm 11.x, and to open/update a PR via the release-bot GitHub App token.
Changes:
- Introduces a scheduled (monthly) + manually dispatchable “Lockfile maintenance” workflow.
- Runs
corepack pnpm update --lockfile-only -rand force-pushes to a fixed maintenance branch. - Creates a PR with an app token so
pull_requestCI workflows are triggered for the automated update PR.
💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.
- run only on refs/heads/main: a workflow_dispatch from another ref would force-push the maintenance branch from a stale base - environment: release — PUTIO_RELEASE_BOT_CLIENT_ID and the App private key are environment-scoped; the first dispatch failed to mint a token without it (taizn actions run 32328993072) - job-level contents: read for checkout, matching the house baseline - align the bot identity lookup with the fleet-majority form (%5Bbot%5D path, user_id output) Refs putdotio/putio-frontend#29 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds a scheduled Lockfile maintenance workflow (monthly cron + manual dispatch) that runs
corepack pnpm update --lockfile-only -rand opens a PR with the release-bot App token when the lockfile moves.Dependabot's transitive security-update command (
corepack pnpm update <pkg>@<version> --lockfile-only --no-save -r) is a silent no-op under pnpm 11.x because targeted versions of transitive-only dependencies are ignored (pnpm/pnpm#12744), so transitive advisories can never land here. The untargeted refresh resolves the same fixes with workspace overrides untouched.Verification
postcss@8.5.26update is a no-op under pnpm 11.2.2 and 11.22.0 (with and without overrides); untargetedcorepack pnpm update --lockfile-only -rresolves postcss 8.5.16 -> 8.5.26 under pnpm 11.2.2 withcatalog:overrides intact, and the result passespnpm install --lockfile-only.Notes
pull_requestworkflows, so verify gates the automated PR (defaultGITHUB_TOKENPRs would not trigger it).packageManageronce a stable pnpm ships the upstream fix (pnpm/pnpm#12558 — present in 12.0.0-rc.7, absent in 11.22.0); the workflow can stay as routine hygiene.
