question: how do we test, between releases, compatibility of an estimator with a soft dependency if we/dependabot bump the upper bound of said dependency?
problem:
Currently, I have been manually merging to
main
and then running the "run all estimators" diagnostic #5083, but that is highly manual.Some solutions that we have discussed on the discord:
There is not just the tech side, but also the "release manager instructions" side, and the "developer instructions" side - we do not want to ovecomplicate the instructions, or introduce too many things that one has to think of at the right time, or we introduce risk through less streamlined process.
FYI @yarnabrina, @romanlutz, @benHeid. Also @tarpas as possibly interested.
