v1.1.0 — dependabot-keep-current reusable (auto-rebase blocked Dependabot PRs) - #6
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Rebases Dependabot PRs that are BLOCKED by being out of date (mergeStateStatus BEHIND/DIRTY) when a merge lands on their base — retires the manual '@dependabot rebase'. Mechanical (no AI): posts the rebase command as the driver-digital-agents user (Dependabot ignores App/github-actions[bot] commands). Adversarial-reviewed (4 lenses). Key decisions from review: - Gate on mergeStateStatus BEHIND/DIRTY, not behind_by>0: only rebases PRs that are actually blocked, which is the gap Dependabot's default rebase-strategy:auto leaves (auto rebases on conflicts/dep-changes, not to satisfy a strict up-to-date rule). Avoids a CI storm + is inert on non-strict repos. - concurrency cancel-in-progress:false (never drop PRs mid comment-loop). - same-repo + non-Dependabot + merged guard (secret/token context safety).

explicit --limit flag, which means it uses the CLI's default pagination limit
and can silently skip open Dependabot PRs on busy branches. Add the --limit flag
to the gh pr list command on line 63 to ensure all open Dependabot PRs are
processed. Set the limit to a sufficiently high number (such as 100 or more) to
capture all relevant open pull requests from the dependabot[bot] author.

Add an explicit PR list limit to avoid silently skipping Dependabot PRs.
Line 63 uses gh pr list without --limit; the CLI default cap can leave some open Dependabot PRs unprocessed on busy branches.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Adds a mechanical reusable that retires the manual
@dependabot rebase: when a PR merges into a branch, it rebases the open Dependabot PRs targeting that branch that are blocked by being out of date.Design (post adversarial review — 4 lenses, all ship-with-fixes)
mergeStateStatusBEHIND/DIRTY, notbehind_by > 0. Dependabot's defaultrebase-strategy: autoalready rebases on conflicts/dep-changes; it does not rebase a clean-but-behind PR to satisfy a strict "require up to date before merging" rule. So we act only on PRs that are actually blocked — which both fills that exact gap and avoids rebasing every behind PR (which would multiply CI churn).
