Summary

  • Retire repository-hosted Dependabot version-update proposals while preserving vulnerability alerts, CodeQL, dependency review, pip-audit, SBOM, Trivy, OSV, Scorecard, branch protection, and required Checks as separate controls.
  • Replace the deleted-file assertion with an executable absence contract for both .github/dependabot.yml and .github/dependabot.yaml.
  • Make release-candidate, procurement, and security-attestation evidence fail closed if either supported configuration path returns.
  • Record the operational tradeoff as Proposed ADR 0140 and reconcile CHANGELOG, buyer evidence, ADR 0009, and the product/technical Gap baseline.

Root cause and repair evidence

The configuration deletion at 431d06a37ed4078c01116ba9da93036dd4b6a349 left a metadata test that opened the deleted file. The exact-head Security and Quality run 37725322159 is retained as RED evidence.

A second RED regression proved that merely substituting the test path let all three commercial evidence gates remain ready after either supported Dependabot filename was restored. Exact head ad9579a00378d079bb22b172d1c29201c01d65ba (tree 9234235d265edca693675edcedea74ab2ef220d4) now uses one shared os.path.lexists absence predicate in all three gates and protects both filename variants.

Concurrent head 145d1de053961acd59566811dad1c6a92d6af851 was integrated without force push or destructive rebase. Its valid governance and alert-separation deltas were preserved. ADR 0137 was not retained because open PR #1257 already owns that identifier; the proposal is now ADR 0140.

Local validation

  • Warnings-as-errors impact suite: 85 passed
  • Focused absence/runtime regression: 19 passed
  • compileall: passed
  • uv lock --check: passed
  • git diff --check: passed
  • The full suite was stopped at 2% when it attempted an external OpenRouter connection with unknown credential/payload risk; no full-suite GREEN is claimed.
  • Ruff was unavailable in the locked local environment; no Ruff GREEN is claimed.

Admission

The PR is Ready for review / Proposed / merge HOLD. Ready is review and Checks admission, not approval or merge authorization. The prior exact-head Security and Quality run 37887945967 completed skipped under the former Draft state and is not GREEN evidence. Fresh exact-head Security and Quality run 37891633319 failed before any workflow step: all four jobs report failure with null step metadata, and every job log download returns BlobNotFound. This is hosted Actions startup evidence, not a source-test result; no unchanged-source rerun is claimed. Qualifying independent approval also remains a merge gate. No protected-setting change, bypass, merge, auto-merge, release, or completion is claimed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Dependabot 버전 업데이트 설정과 해당 구성 테스트를 제거했습니다. ADR과 관련 문서는 취약점 알림 및 필수 보안 통제를 유지하고, 버전 업데이트 일정은 대체하지 않는 제안을 기록합니다.

Changes

Dependabot 버전 업데이트 제안 중단

ADR-0137은 Dependabot 버전 업데이트 제안 중단을 기록하고, ADR-0009 대체 조건과 유지되는 보안 통제 및 승인 요건을 명시합니다. 관련 기록과 변경 로그도 이 제안을 반영합니다.

Dependabot 설정과 이를 검증하던 테스트를 제거했습니다. 보안 문서는 Dependabot alerts를 취약점 알림 거버넌스로 구체화합니다.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 145d1

Removing the version-update configuration can prevent the commercial security-attestation endpoint from producing a ready result. Update its readiness check before merging; the evidence does not establish whether external alert settings are currently enabled.

@coderabbitai full review

Independent whole-diff review requested for exact head 431d06a37ed4078c01116ba9da93036dd4b6a349: the entire PR deletes only .github/dependabot.yml. Please substantively assess this deliberate stop of GitHub-hosted-only Dependabot version updates against the explicit user policy, including removal semantics and retained alerting/security-settings/required gates. The automated 'files with no reviewable changes' result is not a substantive review of the deletion or a substitute for counted approval.

No self-approval is permitted (publisher and PR author both seonghobae). All existing workflows, credential settings, alert settings, protections and required checks must remain unchanged. Current failed/missing checks remain NONPASS; do not approve merely to override them. No admin merge, bypass, rerun, new runner or automatic merge is requested. Normal merge is held until current-head independent review and real checks admit it.

Exact-head owner repair review (COMMENT, not approval). RCA: deleting .github/dependabot.yml left a repository-metadata test that opened the deleted file, contradicted the commercial security attestation, and reversed Accepted ADR-0009 without a Proposed decision. RED reproduced the exact FileNotFoundError. GREEN removes the obsolete file-existence contract, corrects the attestation, links Proposed ADR-0137, and records the Gap/CHANGELOG evidence. Offline warnings-fatal metadata verification: 16 passed; compile and git diff --check passed. PR is Draft / Proposed / merge HOLD; exact-head Security and Quality evidence is not GREEN and independent approval is absent.

Exact-head independent repair audit: Critical 0 · Important 0 · Minor 0; HOLD.

Verified ad9579a00378d079bb22b172d1c29201c01d65ba / tree 9234235d265edca693675edcedea74ab2ef220d4 is one non-force commit ahead of concurrent head 145d1de053961acd59566811dad1c6a92d6af851. The shared fail-closed predicate blocks all three buyer-evidence paths for restored .yml, .yaml, and broken-symlink paths. ADR 0140 is the sole proposed decision; ADR 0009 remains Accepted pending protected integration; no ADR 0137 reference remains.

Independent exact-tree verification: 55 focused tests passed with warnings as errors; uv lock --check, compileall, and git diff --check passed.

Merge remains blocked: exact-head run 37887945967 completed skipped because the PR is Draft, and no qualifying approval exists.

Exact-head Checks admission result: Security and Quality run 37891633319 failed before any step executed. Jobs 113693636347, 113693636484, 113693636544, and 113693636764 all report failure with steps=null; each exact job-log request returns HTTP 404 BlobNotFound. No source failure log exists to repair, so an unchanged-source rerun would not address the observed cause. PR remains Ready for review / Proposed / merge HOLD pending hosted Actions recovery and qualifying approval.

P1 Badge Ground the updater-retirement decision in research

This substantive supply-chain process change retires automated dependency updates in favor of an unspecified manual process, but neither this ADR nor another changed document provides a relevant academic paper, full citation, or—if redistribution is unavailable—a link and summary. Add the required research grounding so reviewers can evaluate the documented freshness and security tradeoff.
