Dependabot Resolution Workflow

Execute a comprehensive dependency update workflow:

Step 1: Analyze Dependabot Issues

• Use gh issue list --label "dependencies" --state open --json number,title,url,body to list all open Dependabot issues
• For each issue, carefully analyze:
  • What dependency is being updated
  • What version change is proposed (patch/minor/major)
  • Any breaking changes mentioned
  • Security vulnerabilities fixed
• Determine which updates should be applied based on:
  • Security fixes (high priority)
  • Patch updates (generally safe)
  • Minor updates (review carefully)
  • Major updates (review very carefully for breaking changes)

Step 2: Run Security Audit

• Run pnpm audit to check for security vulnerabilities
• Identify any critical or high-severity issues
• Note any recommended updates from the audit

Step 3: Create Update Branch

If there are updates to apply:

• Get current date in MMDD format (e.g., "1220" for December 20th)
• Get the current branch name to use as base
• Create new branch: deps-update-MMDD from the current branch
• Switch to the new branch

Step 4: Apply Updates

• For each dependency to update:
  • Use pnpm update <package-name> or pnpm add <package-name>@<version> as appropriate
  • If it's a major version update, check for breaking changes in the changelog first
• After all updates, run pnpm install to ensure lockfile is updated

Step 4.5: Handle Related Updates (Package + Infrastructure Sync)

Some packages require coordinated updates across multiple files. Check for these patterns:

Playwright Package + Docker Image

When updating @playwright/test or playwright in package.json:

1. Check current versions:

• package.json: Look for @playwright/test and playwright versions
• .github/workflows/*.yml: Search for mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v Docker image tags

2. Update Docker image tag to match the npm package version:

   # In workflow files using Playwright Docker container
   container:
     image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v<NEW_VERSION>-noble
   

3. Verify image exists at https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/playwright/tags/list or check Microsoft's Playwright Docker documentation

4. Example: If updating @playwright/test from 1.57.0 to 1.58.0:

• Update package.json: "@playwright/test": "^1.58.0"
• Update workflow: image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.0-noble

Other Common Pairs to Watch

• TypeScript + @types packages: May need coordinated updates
• ESLint + plugins: Plugin versions often need to match ESLint major version
• Next.js + related packages: next, eslint-config-next, etc.

Step 5: Quality Checks

Run all quality checks in sequence:

1. Type checking: pnpm typecheck
2. Linting: pnpm lint (or pnpm lint:fix if auto-fixable)
3. Formatting: pnpm format (or pnpm format:fix if needed)
4. Unit tests: pnpm test:unit
5. Build: pnpm build (to ensure the project builds successfully)
6. E2E tests: pnpm test:e2e:critical or pnpm test:e2e:full-prod for comprehensive testing

Step 6: Review Results

• If all checks pass:
  • Proceed to Step 7
• If any checks fail:
  • Investigate the failure
  • Determine if it's a breaking change or test needs updating
  • Fix issues or revert problematic updates
  • Re-run quality checks

Step 7: Push and Create PR

Once all checks pass:

• Stage all changes: git add .
• Commit with descriptive message: git commit -m "chore: Update dependencies (MMDD)"
• Push to remote: git push -u origin deps-update-MMDD
• Create PR using gh pr create with:
  • Title: "chore: Update dependencies (MMDD)"
  • Body including:

    • List of updated packages and versions

    • Summary of security fixes (if any)

    • Links to Dependabot issues being resolved using list format:

      - 関連Issue
          - https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<issue-1>
          - https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<issue-2>
      

    • Note that all quality checks passed

  • Use full URLs (not #<number>) so GitHub auto-expands them to show issue titles

Important Notes

• Never auto-merge - always create PR for manual review
• For major version updates, mention breaking changes in PR description
• If updating critical dependencies (Gatsby, React, etc.), note that extra testing may be needed
• Close related Dependabot issues after PR is merged
• Follow the project's dependency management guidelines from CLAUDE.md

Safety Checks

• Never use --force flags
• Always run full test suite before pushing
• Check for deprecation warnings during build
• Verify the build output works correctly (pnpm serve and manual testing if needed)
