Why Dependabot couldn't fix these itself

Nearly all 26 open alerts are transitive deps Dependabot can't PR against, and the repo's previous mitigation attempts were silently inert:

  • The root package.json had a top-level overrides block in npm format, which pnpm ignores — it contained next: >=15.5.15, lodash: >=4.18.0, postcss: >=8.5.10, vite: catalog:security… none of it ever applied (and its js-yaml: 4.1.1 pinned the vulnerable version). Deleted in this PR, along with the stale workspaces.catalogs duplicate that still advertised vulnerable pins (next 15.5.10, vite 6.4.1).
  • The catalog:security pins for next: 15.5.18 / vite: 8.0.13 in pnpm-workspace.yaml were referenced by no package.
  • @anthropic-ai/sdk@0.81.0 was a stale auto-installed peer of claude-agent-sdk (peer floor >=0.93.0) — verified empirically that pnpm overrides rewrite peer ranges, not peer resolutions, so an explicit dep is the only working fix.

What this PR does

Range-scoped overrides in pnpm-workspace.yaml (the location pnpm actually reads), each annotated in-file with its alert + advisory:

Override Alerts Advisory
next@<15.5.18 → ~15.5.18 #96, #115#127 GHSA-267c-6grr-h53f, GHSA-26hh-7cqf-hhc6, GHSA-36qx-fr4f-26g5, GHSA-3g8h-86w9-wvmq, GHSA-492v-c6pp-mqqv, GHSA-8h8q-6873-q5fj, GHSA-c4j6-fc7j-m34r, GHSA-ffhc-5mcf-pf4q, GHSA-gx5p-jg67-6x7h, GHSA-h64f-5h5j-jqjh, GHSA-mg66-mrh9-m8jx, GHSA-q4gf-8mx6-v5v3, GHSA-vfv6-92ff-j949, GHSA-wfc6-r584-vfw7, GHSA-3x4c-7xq6-9pq8, GHSA-ggv3-7p47-pfv8
lodash@<4.18.0 → ^4.18.0 #87, #88 GHSA-f23m-r3pf-42rh (CVE-2026-2950), GHSA-r5fr-rjxr-66jc (CVE-2026-4800)
js-cookie@<3.0.7 → ^3.0.7 #133 GHSA-qjx8-664m-686j (CVE-2026-46625)
postcss@<8.5.10 → ^8.5.10 #102 GHSA-qx2v-qp2m-jg93 (CVE-2026-41305)
vite@>=7.0.0 <7.3.5 → ~7.3.5 #145, #146 GHSA-fx2h-pf6j-xcff (CVE-2026-53571), GHSA-v6wh-96g9-6wx3 (CVE-2026-53632)
esbuild@>=0.27.3 <0.28.1 → ^0.28.1 #142 GHSA-g7r4-m6w7-qqqr⚠️ 0.28.1 is the first patched release and sits outside tsup@8.5.1's declared ^0.27.0; builds pass, retire by bumping tsup once it declares ^0.28
js-yaml@<3.15.0 → 3.15.0 (exact) #153 GHSA-h67p-54hq-rp68 (CVE-2026-53550)
js-yaml@>=4.0.0 <5 → 4.2.0 (exact, matured) #152 GHSA-h67p-54hq-rp68 (CVE-2026-53550)
fast-uri@<3.1.3 → 3.1.3 (exact) regression guard GHSA-4c8g-83qw-93j6 (CVE-2026-13676) — the lockfile regen let the 7-day cooldown demote ajv's fast-uri to vulnerable 3.1.2; this pins the patched release (matures 2026-07-06, then relaxable to ^3.1.3)

Manifest changes:

  • packages/nextjs: next: catalog:security devDep — makes the existing 15.5.18 pin real; peer range ^14 || ^15 unchanged. (Kept alongside the override deliberately: tested override-only and it floats to 15.5.19 instead of the catalog-pinned version.)
  • packages/wizard: explicit @anthropic-ai/sdk: ^0.106.0 (alert fix(protect): proper handling of composite types #128, GHSA-p7fg-763f-g4gf / CVE-2026-41686) — the only alert reaching published-package runtime (npx stash init). This is a peer-resolution pin, never imported — documented in the workspace file so it isn't tidied away as unused.
  • Root js-yaml^4.2.0.

Cooldown bypass (per SKILL.md): js-yaml 3.15.0 (published 2026-06-26) and fast-uri 3.1.3 (2026-06-29) are inside the 7-day window. Both are exact-pinned and were admitted via a single one-off pnpm install --config.minimumReleaseAge=0 run — no persistent minimumReleaseAgeExclude entry (an earlier revision used one; removed after review). Locked versions aren't re-age-checked, so normal and --frozen-lockfile installs need no bypass. Also fixed SKILL.md's bypass recipe — the --ignore-workspace-min-release-age flag it documented doesn't exist in pnpm 10.

New CI gates in e2e/tests/supply-chain.e2e.test.ts: overrides must stay range-scoped (no blanket pins) and ≤12 entries; minimumReleaseAgeExclude must stay first-party-only.

Verification

  • No vulnerable versions remain in the lockfile (every alert range checked).
  • Full turbo build 10/10 · wizard tests 139 ✅ · script tests 20 ✅ · supply-chain e2e 14 ✅ (incl. the 2 new gates) · --frozen-lockfile install ✅.
  • Changesets regression check (js-yaml moved on both majors, and a past js-yaml upgrade broke changesets): changeset status (exercises @manypkg/get-packages → js-yaml 3.15.0) and a full changeset version run with a throwaway changeset (exercises @changesets/parse → js-yaml 4.2.0) both work — changelogs and version bumps generated correctly, then reverted.

Follow-ups

  1. Relax fast-uri pin to ^3.1.3 after 2026-07-06 (noted in the workspace comment).
  2. Bump tsup to a release declaring esbuild ^0.28 and retire the esbuild override note.
  3. The open Dependabot PRs (chore(deps): bump the production-minor-patch group across 1 directory with 29 updates #544, chore(deps-dev): bump the dev-dependencies group across 1 directory with 9 updates #525, chore(deps): bump the actions-minor-patch group across 1 directory with 3 updates #514) are still worth merging for general freshness; chore(deps-dev): bump js-yaml from 4.1.1 to 4.2.0 #520 (js-yaml) is superseded by this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Updated dependency versions and constraints (including adding a security-focused SDK pin) to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
    • Added workspace-level package overrides to ensure patched versions are selected within constrained ranges.
  • Tests
    • Added supply-chain enforcement tests to verify release-age exclusion rules and keep dependency overrides narrowly scoped.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the security-fix bypass procedure to require pinning the exact patched version and using a safer pnpm configuration override.

…rides

Root cause: the root package.json has a top-level npm-format `overrides`
block that pnpm ignores, so earlier fixes (next >=15.5.15, lodash
>=4.18.0, postcss >=8.5.10, vite catalog pin) never took effect, and the
catalog:security pins for next/vite were referenced by nothing.

- Add range-scoped security overrides to pnpm-workspace.yaml (the active
  location): next, lodash, js-cookie, postcss, vite 7.x, esbuild 0.27/28,
  js-yaml 3.x/4.x
- Reference catalog:security next from packages/nextjs devDependencies so
  the 15.5.18 pin actually resolves (peer range unchanged)
- Give wizard an explicit @anthropic-ai/sdk ^0.106.0 dependency — the
  vulnerable 0.81.0 was a stale auto-installed peer of claude-agent-sdk
  (which wants >=0.93.0); overrides don't rewrite peer resolutions
- Bump root js-yaml to ^4.2.0; temporarily exclude js-yaml from the
  7-day cooldown (3.15.0 security release is 6 days old — remove the
  exclusion after 2026-07-04)

Verified: no vulnerable versions remain in the lockfile; full turbo
build (10 packages), wizard tests (139), and script tests (20) pass.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to eliminate a set of open Dependabot security alerts by making pnpm overrides actually apply (moving them into pnpm-workspace.yaml), pinning security-sensitive toolchain deps via catalogs, and ensuring a published runtime package (@cipherstash/wizard) no longer pulls a vulnerable peer version.

Changes:

  • Added pnpm workspace-level overrides targeting vulnerable transitive dependency ranges (Next, lodash, js-cookie, postcss, vite, esbuild, js-yaml).
  • Activated the existing catalog:security Next.js pin by adding next: catalog:security to packages/nextjs devDependencies.
  • Updated @cipherstash/wizard to depend directly on @anthropic-ai/sdk@^0.106.0 and refreshed lockfile resolutions accordingly.

- Restore fast-uri 3.1.3: the lockfile regen let the 7-day cooldown
  demote ajv's fast-uri to 3.1.2, un-fixing GHSA-4c8g-83qw-93j6 /
  CVE-2026-13676; pin the patched release until it matures
- Replace the js-yaml minimumReleaseAgeExclude entry (name-scoped,
  first-party-only list) with exact pins (3.15.0 / matured 4.2.0,
  evicting immature 4.3.0) installed via a one-off
  --config.minimumReleaseAge=0 run per SKILL.md; locked versions are
  not re-age-checked so normal installs need no bypass
- Delete the inert npm-format overrides block and stale
  workspaces.catalogs duplicate from root package.json (dead config
  that contradicted the live pins; the overrides copy still pinned
  vulnerable js-yaml 4.1.1)
- Annotate every override with its Dependabot alert + GHSA ID, note
  the esbuild-outside-tsup-range tradeoff, and document the wizard's
  @anthropic-ai/sdk dep as a peer-resolution pin (not unused)
- Gate both escape hatches in the supply-chain e2e test: overrides
  must stay range-scoped and ≤12 entries; minimumReleaseAgeExclude
  must stay first-party-only
- Fix SKILL.md's cooldown-bypass recipe: the documented
  --ignore-workspace-min-release-age flag does not exist in pnpm 10;
  the one-off equivalent is --config.minimumReleaseAge=0 with an
  exact pin

Verified: full turbo build (10 pkgs), wizard tests (139), script
tests (20), supply-chain e2e (14, incl. 2 new gates) all pass;
frozen-lockfile install passes with no bypass.

@calvinbrewer — re your earlier concern about js-yaml upgrades breaking changesets: this PR moves js-yaml on both majors (3.14.2 → 3.15.0 and 4.1.1 → 4.2.0, security fix GHSA-h67p-54hq-rp68), so I validated the changesets pipeline end-to-end rather than assuming:

  • changeset status — exercises @manypkg/get-packagesread-yaml-filejs-yaml 3.15.0 (parsing pnpm-workspace.yaml and workspace manifests). ✅
  • changeset status --verbose + full changeset version with a throwaway changeset — exercises @changesets/parsejs-yaml 4.2.0 (frontmatter parsing), changelog assembly, and version bumps across all packages. Output was correct (@cipherstash/nextjs 4.1.0 → 4.1.1 with the expected changelog entry); all artifacts were then reverted and the two real pending changesets (native-binary-guards, stack-protect-ffi-0-26-oidc-strategy) are untouched. ✅

To keep this from regressing silently, js-yaml 4.x is exact-pinned to 4.2.0 in the workspace overrides with a comment saying any future bump must re-verify changeset status/version — it can't float to a new version without a deliberate edit. If you remember what broke last time, happy to add a targeted regression test for it.

…ab-case form

CodeRabbit flagged two doc issues on #545:
- pnpm-workspace.yaml's js-yaml 3.x comment still cited the nonexistent
  --ignore-workspace-min-release-age flag
- SKILL.md used --config.minimumReleaseAge=0

Empirically both --config.minimum-release-age and --config.minimumReleaseAge
are applied by pnpm 10.33.2 (verified with a huge value forcing
NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION in a scratch project), but kebab-case is the
docs-canonical form, so standardize on it everywhere.
Copilot review on #545 correctly noted the new direct dependency changes
@cipherstash/wizard's published manifest, which per AGENTS.md needs a
changeset. Patch bump — peer-resolution pin only, no behaviour change.
