v1.0.2 — fix Dependabot-report bot-actor block (+ marker wording) - #3
Merged
Merged
Conversation
dependabot-report runs on a workflow_run triggered by Dependabot's validate run, so the initiating actor is dependabot[bot]. claude-code-action refuses bot initiators unless allow-listed, so the 'reason over build result' step failed and the verdict + reviewer-request never posted (validate was green but the PR went silently un-reviewed — observed on pilot PRs #50/#51). - allowed_bots: "dependabot[bot]" on the report's claude step (safe: it only READS the inert artifact with a Read/Glob/Grep/Write tool surface — no gh, shell, or execution). - continue-on-error on that step + always() on resolve/post so a verdict-gen hiccup still pings a human (the job's documented intent). - pr-first marker wording: 'findings, if any, are inline above' (queued #2).

A blocked Dependabot PR we couldn't act on (gh pr comment failed, or its mergeStateStatus never resolved out of UNKNOWN after retries) was previously a silent green run. Track failures and exit non-zero so it's a visible red run. One bad PR no longer suppresses the others. (Code-review finding on PR #3.) set -e behavior verified locally across 6 scenarios.

Fixes the Dependabot-report leg, which silently failed on real Dependabot PRs (pilot #50/#51): validate ran green but no verdict + no reviewer.
Root cause
dependabot-reportruns on aworkflow_runtriggered by Dependabot's validate run → initiating actor isdependabot[bot]→claude-code-actionblocks bot initiators (Workflow initiated by non-human actor) → verdict step fails → post-verdict + reviewer-request skipped.Fix
allowed_bots: "dependabot[bot]"on the report's claude step. Safe: that step only READS the inert artifact (Read/Glob/Grep/Write— nogh, shell, or execution), so a bot initiating it doesn't widen the trust surface.continue-on-erroron that step +always()on the resolve/post steps, so a verdict-generation hiccup still pings a human with the bare conclusion (the job's documented intent — previously a claude failure skipped the ping).Ships as v1.0.2. Consumers repin via PRs driver-bonsai-mcp#3 + vite-plugin-shopify-clean#49; then pilot #50/#51 get re-triggered.
