ci(deps): land the bot's PRs unattended, and retire the second bot - #542
Conversation
CLOUD-692 Renovate's PRs have no land path: `draftPR: true` bought the CI economy and removed the only trigger that would have landed them
Why CLOUD-657 and CLOUD-658 handed Three causes stack, and each alone is sufficient.
Why the two economies do not compose, which is the actual defect. Dependabot PRs open Ready: CI runs immediately, and This is worse than the cost it replaced. A Dependabot PR bought a matrix and landed. A Renovate PR buys nothing and accumulates. With CLOUD-660 mentions this and cannot be the fix. Its acceptance says Refinement — Ready Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.
The open question this issue must answer, not assume. A draft PR grades no checks, so a lander cannot simply wait for green — something must ready it first. Two shapes, and the choice is the design work here:
The first preserves what was bought and is the recommendation; the second is the fallback if readying from a workflow proves to need a PAT the repo will not grant. Note that Acceptance
Update, 2026-08-19 — what hand-landing #493 measuredPR #493 was driven to The ready-then-land shape works, and is no longer a guess. The full sequence — rebase onto Local Three claims in the body above are now stale and must be re-measured, not copied forward:
What did not change. No workflow is scoped to The queue question is answered, and the defect reproduced itself within 90 seconds
So the second stale claim above resolves in the limit's favour — nothing was stuck, the slot was simply occupied. That removes the only reading under which this issue could have been a Renovate-config problem: the config is behaving exactly as written. And #503 is already in #493's position. It is a draft, on One incidental confirmation. #503's title is #503 is deliberately not being hand-landed. Doing so would spend the exception again and hide the recurrence this issue needs as evidence. CLOUD-693 A bot PR arrives with no issue and no session, so every lifecycle gate refuses it — nothing turns a bot's proposal into a refined issue
Why Every lifecycle gate here keys off an issue that a human or an agent refined before the work started. A bot proposes work with no issue and no session, so it fails all of them by construction — not by misconfiguration. Measured on PR #493, 2026-08-19, driving one Renovate PR (
Each is correct for an agent branch. None has a concept of a bot branch. The reason this never surfaced is that bot PRs have never taken this path: What is actually missing is not a gate change but a step that does not exist: something that turns a bot's proposal into a refined issue before the lifecycle sees it. The gates are then satisfied honestly rather than bypassed, and the merge moves the board like any other landing. The workaround used today is not a design and must not become one. #493 was rebased onto Refinement — Ready Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.
The open decision, which is the reason this ticket exists rather than a patch Three of the four gates are satisfied by the issue alone. The fourth —
Do not resolve this by widening the agent receipt to cover bots. If the two attest different things, they are two receipts. Acceptance
CLOUD-660 Turn Dependabot off and delete its config — the only irreversible step, and the last one
Why The removal. Every lane has already moved and the security lane has already been observed working on Renovate (CLOUD-659), so this step adds no capability — it withdraws the redundant one and deletes the shim keeping it landable. It is placed last because it is the only step that is awkward to undo mid-flight: re-enabling Dependabot security updates is a settings toggle, but re-deriving the config that made its PRs conventional-commit shaped is not, and the window where neither bot covers the lane is exactly the window nobody would notice. Two acts, and the order between them is the whole content of this issue:
And then the gate inverts. Refinement — Ready Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.
Acceptance
CLOUD-688 Vulnerability alerts were off repo-wide, so neither bot had a security lane — alerts now on, but Dependabot security updates are still off and the CLOUD-658 shim asserts a lane that cannot fire
Why
This is not a token artifact, which is the reading to rule out first. The response headers name What it invalidates
Nothing is newly at risk — the lane was already off before any of this work, so no coverage was lost. What is wrong is that three issues and one committed config are written as though it were on. Not fixed here, deliberately. Enabling vulnerability alerts is a repository security setting ( Refinement — Ready Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.
Acceptance
Resolution, 2026-08-19Half of this is now done, and the half that is not is the one that matters for the shim. Alerts: on. Dependabot security updates: still off, and this was missed in the original diagnosis. The body above treated "alerts off" as the single cause. It was two independent toggles, and enabling alerts moves only one of them. Consequences, in order of who they affect:
Not touched, and named so it is not mistaken for an oversight: What is still owed on this issue

Renovate's lane proposed and never landed. `draftPR: true` bought the CI economy CLOUD-596 wanted — a draft head grades no checks, so accumulation is free — and the same key made every head invisible to the only mechanism that would have landed it: nothing readies a draft, and no workflow was scoped to `renovate/**` at all. `rebaseWhen: "never"` then kept the head where `main` left it, so a fast-forward stopped being arithmetically available. #493 needed a human; #503 reproduced the state 84 seconds later and has held the single `prConcurrentLimit` slot against seven queued updates since. The lane is now three things that compose: - `rebaseWhen: "behind-base-branch"`. The clause that made `never` right — a force-push on a READY head is another matrix — does not survive `draftPR`, and a rebase mid-CI is absorbed by `ci.yml`'s `cancel-in-progress` rather than paid for. `ci-local-parity` asserts the new value, so reverting reds. - `.github/workflows/auto-bot-land.yml`, the Dependabot lander repointed: file the row, nudge a stale head by ticking the bot's own rebase box, ready a fresh draft, and fast-forward on `checks-green`. One matrix per PR landed. - `mise-tasks/bot-issue`, which derives a tracker row from the manifest diff, writes `Closes` into the PR body so the merge moves it, and mints a distinct bot receipt. `verify` accepts either receipt: the agent one attests a human read a refined issue, which nothing on a bot branch can honestly say, so widening it was the one repair CLOUD-431 rules out. And the second bot goes, because keeping it would entrench two lanes at the moment one is being retired. Measured against the live repository: `automated-security-fixes` is `{"enabled": false, "paused": false}`, alerts are on, zero open. So `.github/dependabot.yml` asserted a lane the repository setting does not have and `auto-dependabot-land.yml` watched a bot that proposes nothing. `vulnerabilityAlerts` in `renovate.json5` reads the same advisory stream, so nothing is withdrawn. The gates move with it rather than being deleted alongside it: property 12 inverts to "that file is absent", property 14 becomes "every ecosystem this repo maintains is named in the one config" (`mise` included, now that a bot can serve it), property 15 is new and refuses a live bot prefix no workflow watches at its trigger — the arm that would have caught the original handover. `cap-drift` repoints to `allowedVersions`, and `ci-lease-precondition`'s carve-out moves to `renovate/*`, without which the readied head's CI would be refused and the lane could not work at all. `renovate.json5` was missing from `ci-local-parity`'s hk glob, so a config edit alone never re-ran the gate that judges it. Fixed here. Refs: CLOUD-692, CLOUD-693, CLOUD-660, CLOUD-688
`auto-bot-land.yml` is this file repointed at `renovate/**`, so keeping both
would leave a workflow watching a bot that proposes nothing: Dependabot's
version-update lanes moved to Renovate (CLOUD-655/657/658) and its security
updates are off at the repository setting — `automated-security-fixes` reads
`{"enabled": false, "paused": false}`, with alerts on and zero open.
Deleted through the API on this branch rather than locally: `.github/workflows/**`
is a protected path, and the refusal's own remedy is "change it in a pull
request", which a local `git rm` cannot satisfy and this does.
Refs: CLOUD-660
… is proven `MUTANT_GATES` is the set `mise run mutant` holds to "every declared gate has a mutation its own suite is PROVEN to catch" (CLOUD-418). `bot-issue` ships with a `#MUTANT` declaration that drops the already-linked short circuit — which turns `ensure` into a task that files a fresh row on every lander tick, twice an hour, against a PR that already has one — and a row in `tests/bot-issue.bats` that has to go red under it. Declaring the mutation without naming the gate here leaves that unrun, which is the anti-vacuity term the roster exists to supply. Refs: CLOUD-693

bot-identity and owned-manifest validation before any landing steps, and
preserve refusal failures instead of converting a generic bot-issue exit 1 into
success. Add a regression test covering a non-Renovate fork PR whose head ref
starts with renovate/.
In `@mise-tasks/bot-issue`:
- Around line 102-112: Update gh_api so successful gh api responses contain only
stdout and remain valid JSON; capture stderr separately or discard it, while
preserving the existing exit-status check and sanitized failure message.
- Around line 364-368: Update the file verb’s derive/create_issue flow so a
failed derive operation stops execution and does not invoke create_issue with an
empty payload. Preserve successful derivation and issue creation behavior, using
the existing error-handling conventions in the script.
- Around line 355-356: Update the preflight dependency list for the create_issue
task to include curl alongside gh and jq, both in the required-command checks
and the `#PIN-OK` directive. Ensure curl is validated before any curl invocation
so the existing die failure contract is preserved.
- Around line 141-146: In mise-tasks/bot-issue, preserve command-substitution
failures instead of continuing with empty values: update the pr=$(pr_json
"$num") and files=$(pr_files "$num") assignments to propagate their statuses
with return, so GitHub read failures exit 2; at lines 364-368, capture derive in
a variable and propagate failure with exit before calling create_issue,
preventing empty tracker rows. The anchor and sibling sites both require these
changes.
- Around line 237-254: Update both Linear curl invocations that query states and
create issues to include --fail-with-body and --max-time 30, while preserving
their existing error handling and request arguments.
- Around line 289-296: Update ensure and mint_receipt to recognize only keys in
the closing form “Closes CLOUD-<n>”, matching link_issue and closing-key-check.
Preserve idempotence while allowing bodies that mention a bare CLOUD key to
receive the required closing line.
Apply the same fix in `@tests/bot-issue.bats` around lines 112 - 122: Add the
regression case for a body containing an unrelated tracker key without a closing
reference.
In `@mise-tasks/cap-drift`:
- Around line 112-141: Update the awk rule parser to extract matcher names from
any supported matcher key, including matchDepNames and matchPackagePatterns,
without emitting malformed rule text when matchPackageNames is absent. Track
brace depth so inrules is cleared when the packageRules array closes, preventing
later objects from being treated as rules. Add a cap-drift test covering an
allowedVersions rule that uses a non-matchPackageNames matcher.
In `@mise-tasks/ci-local-parity`:
- Around line 719-732: Update the workflow scan in the loop around wf_triggers
and branch_filters so Property 15 considers branches filters only within push
and workflow_run trigger blocks, excluding pull_request.branches because it
matches the base ref. Add or update a fixture demonstrating that a lander scoped
only to pull_request branches is rejected, while preserving detection for valid
push or workflow_run filters.
In `@tests/bot-issue.bats`:
- Around line 90-98: The ensure flow must be retry-safe when link_issue fails
after issue creation: persist or recover the created issue identity before a
subsequent create attempt, so the second ensure call reuses it and retries only
linking. Extend the test around ensure and link_issue to simulate a failed first
PATCH followed by a second ensure, asserting exactly one issue creation and a
successful link retry.

Do not treat a bot-issue refusal as authorization.
The scheduled query accepts any open PR with a renovate/* head ref, including a fork PR. bot-issue rejects a human author with exit 1, but this step converts exit 1 to success. The remaining steps can then ready the PR, accept its checks, and fast-forward main with RELEASE_PLZ_TOKEN.
Require a successful bot-identity and owned-manifest verdict before any landing step. Also restrict discovery to a same-repository Renovate head. Do not allow a generic exit-1 result to continue the landing path. Add a regression test for a non-Renovate fork PR named renovate/*.

gh_api merges stderr into the returned value.
out=$(gh api "$@" 2>&1) captures stderr. On a successful call that also emits a warning to stderr — a deprecation notice or an API version warning — the warning text is prepended to the JSON, and the downstream jq parse fails with a message that does not name the cause.
Capture stderr separately, or discard it since the failure path prints only the endpoint and status.

💡 Result:
The curl command line option --fail-with-body was added in version 7.76.0 [1][2][3]. This option allows curl to return an error (exit code 22) on HTTP server errors (response codes 400 or greater) while still saving and outputting the response body [1][3]. It serves as an alternative to the --fail option, which triggers an error without saving the content [1][3].

The file verb calls create_issue with an empty payload when derive fails.
create_issue "$(derive "$2")" discards the status of derive. If derive refuses or dies, the substitution yields an empty string, and create_issue continues: jq -r '.title' on empty input produces an empty title, and the mutation is sent with an empty title and description.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
The rule parser reads only matchPackageNames, and it never leaves the packageRules array.
Two gaps in this awk program:
- A rule that carries
allowedVersionswith a different matcher key —matchDepNames,matchPackageNamesabsent,matchPackagePatterns— falls through bothsub()calls.namesthen holds the whole rule text, and the gate prints a half-lift error naming a token like{matchDepNames:[serde. The verdict stays red, so the direction is safe, but the diagnostic points at nothing an author can fix. inrulesis set once and never cleared. Any object that appears after thepackageRulesarray closes is scanned as if it were a rule. TodaypackageRulesis last inrenovate.json5, so nothing else is read. A reordering of the file changes the verdict, which is the failure mode the brace-depth scan was written to avoid.

Make issue creation and PR linking retry-safe.

Persist or recover an issue identity before retrying the create. Add a test where the first PATCH fails and the second ensure call performs one create and retries only the link.

Match a branch-filter token, not a substring.
Line 727 accepts not-renovate/** for the renovate/ lane because it contains the prefix text. Property 15 then passes although that filter does not scope the workflow to Renovate heads.
Extract individual branch patterns and require a pattern that starts with $lane_prefix. Add a fixture for a nonmatching pattern that contains the prefix.
