Summary

• add a dedicated npmscan workflow for pull requests that touch workspace package.json files, pnpm-lock.yaml, or pnpm-workspace.yaml
• start in mode: warn so the team can review the signal without changing merge behavior
• pin the action to the current v1.3.0 commit and keep fail-on-error: false so scanner availability does not block merges

Why

This adds PR-time dependency diff review with extra supply-chain checks around new install scripts, lockfile source changes, changed overrides/resolutions, and malware advisories that do not usually appear in standard vulnerability audits.

Test plan

• Open a PR that changes pnpm-lock.yaml or a workspace package.json
• Confirm the npmscan workflow runs
• Confirm findings are reported in warn mode without failing the PR
• Confirm unrelated PRs do not trigger the workflow

Summary by cubic

Adds an npmscan workflow that runs on pull requests touching package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or pnpm-workspace.yaml, adding supply-chain checks for new install scripts, lockfile source changes, changed overrides/resolutions, and malware advisories that standard vulnerability audits miss.

Runs in warn mode with fail-on-error: false so findings are reported without blocking merges. The action is pinned to v1.4.1, which reads dependency files from git and never follows symlinks, closing a path where a PR could replace its lockfile with a symlink to another file on the runner. Unrelated PRs do not trigger the workflow.

^{Written for commit 32e6fe2. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Pull requests that update package manifests, workspace configuration, or lockfiles are automatically checked for known package vulnerabilities.
  • Scan results are reported as warnings, and scan errors do not prevent the pull request workflow from completing.
  • The check runs only when relevant package configuration files change, helping surface potential risks during review without blocking completion.

Walkthrough

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that runs NPMscan on pnpm-lock.yaml for pull requests that change package manifests or pnpm dependency files.

Changes: Pull request dependency scanning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure the dependency scan .github/workflows/npmscan.yml	Adds a pull-request workflow triggered by changes to package manifests, pnpm-lock.yaml, or pnpm-workspace.yaml. It checks out the repository and runs the pinned NPMscan action in warning mode with action errors set not to fail the workflow. The workflow grants contents read access and pull requests write access.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 32e6f

Manifest-only changes can receive no dependency-scan warning. This coverage gap should be addressed before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "ci: add npmscan PR dependency scan" matches the main change, which adds a new npmscan GitHub Actions workflow that scans dependency changes on pull requests. It uses a conventional commit prefix and is concise and specific. It does not mention the v1.4.1 pin or the warn-mode setting, which are secondary details.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template's main parts. It has a Summary, a Why section, and a Test plan. It does not fill in the template's PR Checklist, the Bugs/Features checkboxes (related issue, tests, docs, changeset), or the 'What is the current behavior?' and 'What is the new behavior?' sections. The change is a CI workflow, so some items may not apply, but the author has not marked them as not applicable. The description also says the action is pinned to v1.3.0 while the cubic summary says v1.4.1, and the objectives say the commit bumps to v1.4.1. This conflict should be fixed. Because the template is only partly followed and the pin version is inconsistent, the check does not fully pass.

Resolution

1. Correct the pinned action version. The Summary says v1.3.0, but the cubic section and the commit history say v1.4.1. Make the text match the workflow file. 2) Complete the template sections or mark them not applicable. This covers the PR Checklist (commit message guideline), the Bugs / Features checkboxes (related issue, tests, docs, changeset), 'What is the current behavior?', 'What is the new behavior?', and the 'fixes (issue)' line. 3) Add any notes for reviewers in 'Notes for reviewers', if there are any.

Scan changed manifests as well as the lockfile.

If a PR changes only a workspace package.json, this job starts, but NPMscan skips the unchanged pnpm-lock.yaml. The PR receives no scan of its manifest changes, including new root install scripts. Pass the relevant manifests through the action’s files input, or add a manifest scan for matching PRs. The pinned action supports multiple files and skips unchanged files.
