A dependency bump is its own work report
DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft
PR: #1261
Head SHA: 3127a781e4825f6906264e642e120d62a6ad3eb6
This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.
Merged PR; unpublished blog draft. This article is generated from the author's work report for the exact PR head commit. Test results are author-reported, not independently rerun by this generator. Merge status is not proof of deployment or runtime correctness.
Work report
The required T27 work report status now passes for a pure Dependabot bump that changes only dependency manifests and lockfiles, while humans and agents still need a full report block.
What changed
- scripts/pr_blog_report.py gains dependency_bump_refusal and dependency_bump_report: author dependabot[bot] of type Bot, a dependabot/ branch in this repo, only manifest or lockfile basenames, and every commit authored by Dependabot and GitHub-signed via web-flow.
- pr-blog-report.yml fetches the PR's changed files and commits as JSON lines and passes them to the validator; the status description names a dependency bump.
- pr_blog_dispatch.py skips the blog outbox for a dependency-bump report, since no blog draft is produced for it.
- Nine new unit tests in scripts/test_pr_blog_report.py and a new section in docs/PR_BLOG_AUTOMATION.md describe the exemption and its limits.
Context and reasoning
The repository requires a T27 work report status on every PR, and Dependabot never writes the JSON block, so every dependency bump sat blocked regardless of its CI results.
The validator now reads the changed files and commits from the GitHub API and accepts a missing block only when every file is a manifest or lockfile and every commit is Dependabot's own signed commit.
A human push to a Dependabot branch, a workflow file bump, or any source file change ends the exemption, and a body that carries a report block is always validated normally.
Reported verification
- [passed] Command: python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p 'test_pr_blog*.py'. Result: Ran 54 tests locally, all passed, including the nine new dependency-bump cases.. Evidence: Local run on the PR head in a fresh /tmp clone: 'Ran 54 tests ... OK'.
- [passed] Command: pr_blog_report.py validate with live API data for PRs 780, 778, 775 and 1202, built exactly as the workflow builds it. Result: 780, 778 and 775 were accepted as dependency bumps; 1202 still failed for its missing report block.. Evidence: Local dry run: rc=0 for the three Dependabot PRs, rc=1 for 1202 with 'PR body must contain exactly one' block.
Limits and open questions
- The workflow change itself runs from main under pull_request_target, so the real status on Dependabot PRs is only observable after merge and a re-run of the report workflow for each PR.
- Dependabot bumps of GitHub Actions workflow files are deliberately not exempt and still need a human-written report.
