[dependabot:update-planner] Dependency update plan for github/gh-aw #62065

Description

Two current items: one PR-sized actions/setup-node pin-sync (low risk, github_actions) and one human-only housekeeping blocker to close five stale/duplicate Dependabot PRs whose target changes are already present on main. No open Dependabot security alerts evidence was accessible; Dependabot repository-access evidence was not accessible. Highest risk item is the pin-sync (CI tooling, no sensitive surface). Next merge batch: #aw_stpnode1.

Action: Do not assign this parent issue to a coding agent. Assign one ready child task at a time; each child produces exactly one pull request and reports its own validation.

Apply in this order

  1. #aw_stpnode1 — sync stale actions/setup-node pin in agentics-maintenance.yml to the same SHA used everywhere else (github_actions, low risk).
  2. #aw_staleprs1 — human-only: close 5 stale/duplicate Dependabot PRs whose changes are already merged to main.

Security and access boundaries

No auth, crypto, payment, database, serialization, or private-registry surface is touched by either item. actions/setup-node runs in CI only (Node.js setup for build/test/docs jobs); no runtime/production surface is affected. Dependabot repository-access state could not be verified with the tools available to this workflow (see Evidence); this is a gap in supply-chain-boundary confidence but not itself a blocking risk for the two items above.

Update checklist

Risk and migration notes
  • All five stale PRs propose version bumps that are already present in the current main tree (verified in go.mod, go.sum, docs/package.json, docs/package-lock.json, and the workflow source files that uses: these actions). Merging any of them would either no-op or attempt to reapply changes against a base that has since diverged.
  • The actions/setup-node case is different: the repository is inconsistent today — 8 workflow files use the v6 pin (820762786026740c76f36085b0efc47a31fe5020) but agentics-maintenance.yml still uses the v4.1.0 pin (39370e3970a6d050c480ffad4ff0ed4d3fdee5af). PR build(deps): Bump actions/setup-node from 4.1.0 to 7.0.0 #61100 proposes bumping to v7.0.0 (a different target than the v6 already adopted elsewhere), so it does not resolve the inconsistency as-is. The lowest-risk fix is to align the one outlier file with the pin already used repo-wide, not to introduce a third version.
Validation commands

For the setup-node sync: no code changes, only a workflow YAML uses: pin update. Validate with gh aw compile (or make recompile) if any .md workflow sources reference this indirectly, and confirm no .lock.yml diffs are introduced unexpectedly. No test suite changes required.

Blocked updates

None currently blocked. The five stale PRs are not "blocked" in the security sense — they are superseded by manual/other changes already on main.

Evidence
  • Repository guidance: .github/dependabot.md was not present in the target repository at evidence-gathering time, so no maintainer-supplied priorities, grouping preferences, or validation commands were available to refine this plan.
  • Dependabot alerts: list_dependabot_alerts was called but the response was filtered by integrity/secrecy policy ("not authorized to access private-scoped data"). This is an unavailable evidence condition, not a confirmed zero-alert state. Treat open security alert status as unknown until a run with sufficient access can verify it.
  • Dependabot repository-access: no GitHub MCP Dependabot repository-access read tool was available, and this workflow does not have an authenticated gh api path to /orgs/{org}/dependabot/repository-access. Repository-access evidence is unavailable, not confirmed-enabled.
  • Dependabot native update-job evidence: no dedicated Dependabot update-job/version-update read tool was available in this run's toolset beyond list_dependabot_alerts (filtered) and pull-request listing. The inventory above was built by cross-referencing open dependabot[bot]-authored PRs against the actual current state of go.mod, go.sum, docs/package.json, docs/package-lock.json, and workflow YAML uses: pins in the target/ checkout — not from PR existence alone. This confirmed that 5 of 6 candidate PRs are stale and surfaced the real actions/setup-node inconsistency that PR-only inspection would have missed.
  • Manifests inspected: go.mod, go.sum, docs/package.json, docs/package-lock.json, .github/dependabot.yml, all .github/workflows/*.yml (non-.lock.yml) uses: lines for actions/setup-node, actions/download-artifact, actions/upload-pages-artifact; .github/workflows/requirements.txt; Dockerfile / .devcontainer/Dockerfile base images (no update needed there).
Task boundaries

Each child is a single, independently reviewable unit: the setup-node sync touches exactly one file and produces exactly one pull request with no other manifest coupled to it (no shared lockfile or workspace edge to any other pending item). The stale-PR-cleanup item is human-only (no coding-agent PR) because it only requires closing/superseding existing Dependabot PRs, which this workflow cannot do directly and which carries no code change.
