Goal
Remove the deprecated cooldown workflows after sibling repos have migrated to native Dependabot cooldown plus the new dependency safety workflow.
Background
Once repos rely on native Dependabot cooldown.default-days: 5, the reusable workflows should no longer need a pending cooldown gate or scheduled rescan. The old pair:
.github/workflows/dependency-cooldown.yml
.github/workflows/cooldown-rescan.yml
exists to implement workflow-side waiting. That model is being replaced by native PR-creation cooldown and safety verification.
Preconditions
Do not start this cleanup until all sibling repos that used the legacy cooldown workflows have migrated:
j7an/dep-rank
j7an/nexus-mcp
j7an/cross-agent-reviews
Each repo should:
- use native Dependabot
cooldown.default-days: 5 in relevant updates blocks,
- call the new
dependency-safety.yml reusable workflow,
- no longer call
dependency-cooldown.yml,
- no longer call
cooldown-rescan.yml.
Scope
- Remove
.github/workflows/dependency-cooldown.yml.
- Remove
.github/workflows/cooldown-rescan.yml.
- Remove tests and fixtures that only support deprecated pending cooldown/rescan behavior.
- Keep reusable dependency extraction and release-age verification primitives if still used by
dependency-safety.yml.
- Update README to remove legacy cooldown setup instructions.
- Update any internal CI workflow that dogfoods the old cooldown workflow.
Acceptance Criteria
- No sibling repo references
dependency-cooldown.yml or cooldown-rescan.yml.
shared-workflows no longer publishes the deprecated cooldown workflows.
- CI passes after removing obsolete workflow tests/docs.
- README only documents the native-cooldown plus dependency-safety model.
- Release notes call out this as a breaking cleanup if workflow consumers pinned floating tags.
