Required Reading
@AGENTS.md @docs/onboarding/ci-cd.md @docs/onboarding/contributing.md
Scope
Handle automated dependency and maintenance PRs: Dependabot GitHub Action
version bumps and the scheduled lockfile PRs opened by update_lockfiles.yml.
Default to read-only triage; merging any bot PR is an explicit approval gate.
Workflow
- List open bot PRs:
gh pr list --repo dartsim/dart --state open \ --search "author:app/dependabot OR author:app/github-actions" \ --json number,title,headRefName,author - For each PR, review the diff (
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER>):- Action bumps: confirm the new ref is a pinned commit SHA and sanity-check the upstream changelog for the bumped version.
- Lockfile PRs: confirm the regenerated lockfile provenance matches the workflow that produced it and that no unrelated content changed.
- Confirm CI is green for the PR head:
gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER>. - Merge a reviewed, CI-green bot PR only after explicit maintainer/user approval, using the current head SHA and the repository merge method.
- Batch-report every triaged PR with its recommendation and status.
Output
- Table of open bot PRs with kind (action bump or lockfile), CI state, and recommendation
- Diff-review notes per PR
- Which PRs were merged after explicit approval and which remain pending
