PR Review: Bump actions/upload-pages-artifact from 3 to 4

Summary

This is a Dependabot-generated PR that updates the actions/upload-pages-artifact action from v3 to v4 in the documentation workflow.

✅ Code Quality & Best Practices

  • Clean change: Single line update following GitHub Actions best practices
  • Semantic versioning: Major version bump appropriately documented
  • Conventional commits: Uses correct ci(deps): prefix per project standards

🔍 Key Change Analysis

Breaking Change Alert: v4 excludes hidden files (dotfiles) from artifacts by default.

Impact Assessment for this project:

  • No impact detected: The MkDocs build (./site directory) does not contain dotfiles that need to be published
  • Standard documentation build: MkDocs generates standard HTML/CSS/JS without hidden config files
  • No custom dotfiles: Checked documentation structure - no .htaccess, .nojekyll, or similar files required

Other v4 improvements:

  • Security: Pins actions/upload-artifact dependency to SHA for supply chain security
  • Better logging output organization

🔒 Security Considerations

  • Positive security impact: Dependency pinning to SHA improves supply chain security
  • No credentials exposure: Documentation build doesn't involve sensitive files
  • Trusted source: Official GitHub Actions from verified publisher

⚡ Performance Considerations

  • Minimal performance impact - artifact creation should be equally fast
  • Slightly smaller artifacts if any hidden files were previously included (none expected)

🧪 Test Coverage

  • Not applicable for dependency bumps
  • Recommendation: Monitor first deployment to GitHub Pages after merge to confirm docs still render correctly

📋 Recommendations

✅ Safe to merge with the following verification:

  1. After merge, check that GitHub Pages deployment completes successfully
  2. Verify documentation site loads correctly at the published URL
  3. Confirm no missing assets or broken links

No action required - the breaking change does not affect this project's documentation build workflow.


Verdict:APPROVED - This is a safe dependency update with security improvements and no negative impact on the documentation pipeline.
