Closes #304.

#282 consolidated 47 Dependabot PRs by hand because "several of these bumps are only correct in pairs", and wrote the pairs into a table. The consolidation landed; the config that produced the split did not change. Within a week the 2026-09-18 batch reproduced it:

Pair from #282's table Open again as Failing checks
vitest + @vitest/coverage-v8 #290 / #291 4 / 2
vite + @vitejs/plugin-react #285 / #273 0 / 314
react + react-dom #288 / #287 70 / 70
tailwindcss + @tailwindcss/vite #277 / #270 1 / 0

This expresses that table as configuration. #236 raising the limit to 100 is what releases the queue; without grouping, "47 full CI runs and, more importantly, wrong" is the steady state rather than a one-off.

Evidence per family

Each group exists only where a manifest declares the coupling, checked against the published packages rather than inferred from the symptom:

Family Coupling
vitest @vitest/coverage-v8@4.1.5 peers on {"vitest": "4.1.5"}, an exact pin, so a split bump is unsatisfiable by construction
vite @vitejs/plugin-react@4.7.0 peers on ^4.2.0 || ^5.0.0 || ^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0; 6.1.1 peers on ^8.0.0. Neither side crosses a major alone, which is why #273 is red on its own across 314 checks
react react-dom@19.3.0 peers on react: "^19.3.0"; @types/react-dom@19.3.0 peers on @types/react: "^19.3.0"
tailwind @tailwindcss/vite@4.3.3 declares tailwindcss: "4.3.3" as a direct dependency, not a peer. That is #282's symptom stated exactly: bumping the CSS package alone leaves the plugin pulling its own pinned compiler
codeql-action init and analyze are two entry points of one action repository; the runner rejects a mismatched pair (#282's fifth row, from #238 / #241)

Dependabot already pairs each React runtime package with its types (#287 and #288 are each two-dependency PRs). What it splits is the dom/non-dom axis, which is the axis that aborts the Studio bootstrap with "Incompatible React versions".

Deliberately not grouped

Grouping by convenience would hide which bump broke what, so families whose manifests declare only wide ranges stay separate:

  • @vitest/eslint-plugin: versions independently, peers on vitest: "*".
  • The eslint plugin set: wide eslint ranges, no pins.
  • actions/upload-artifact and actions/download-artifact: they look like a pair but are separate repositories with independent versions.

This also does not touch the three packages #282 held back (typescript 7.0.2, jsdom 30, eslint-plugin-unicorn 74). Those are ignore / policy decisions, not grouping ones, and the reasons are already inline in pnpm-workspace.yaml.

Two entries per family, and the hole that stays open

applies-to is a per-group key that defaults to version-updates. A group written once leaves security updates ungrouped, so a CVE against one member of a lockstep pair would open its own PR and recreate the mismatch, immediately, since security updates are exempt from the cooldown. Hence a parallel applies-to: security-updates group per family.

That narrows the hole rather than closing it, and the file says so rather than implying the pair is safe: per the grouped-security-updates documentation, a grouped security PR carries only the members that actually have a fix available, so an advisory against one half alone still produces a one-sided bump. What the security group removes is the "both halves advised, two mismatched PRs" case.

(The sibling repo got the same treatment in arkorlab/haru#46, where cubic raised the applies-to default and the correction above came out of checking it.)

Verification

.github/dependabot.yaml is not reachable by any suite, so this is "nothing else moved" plus a structural check of the file itself.

Step Result
YAML parses to the expected structure clean; 10 groups across the two ecosystems, keys match the Dependabot schema
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile clean
pnpm format:check 194 files, clean
pnpm build 3/3
pnpm typecheck 10/10
pnpm lint 7/7
pnpm check:no-em-dash clean
pnpm test 8/9 tasks, see below
@arkor/e2e-studio 9 passed in Chromium
e2e/cli 106 passed, 10 skipped (SKIP_E2E_INSTALL=1; the real-install fixtures need per-fixture package downloads)

The one failing task is pre-existing and unrelated, and I checked rather than assumed: @arkor/cli-internal src/git.test.ts > gitInitialCommit > falls back to commit.gpgsign=false when signing is forced and broken. I reverted .github/dependabot.yaml to its main content in the same worktree and reran that single test: it fails identically. The cause is my machine's global commit.gpgsign=true with gpg.format=ssh leaking into the fixture, which is exactly what #233 isolates. Everything else in that package passes (223/224).

Run on Node 24.18.0, pnpm 11.13.1, macOS arm64.

What I cannot verify from here is Dependabot honouring groups against catalog: entries in pnpm-workspace.yaml. Group matching is documented by dependency name and the pnpm-catalog support already resolves these names, so it should hold, but the first real proof is the next release of a paired package. The codeql-action group is independent of that question, since actions are not catalog-resolved.

Notes

  • Config only, no source or docs change.
  • The file previously had no comments; it now carries the rule for adding a group and the evidence for each one, so the next family arrives with a manifest citation rather than by habit.
  • Once this is in, the four split pairs above can be closed in favour of the grouped PRs Dependabot opens on the next run. Happy to do that sweep in a follow-up if you want it separated.

Summary by cubic

Groups Dependabot updates for package families that only work when bumped together, so the split-PR CI failures from the last batch don't recur. Closes #304.

  • Adds both version-updates and security-updates groups for vitest + @vitest/coverage-v8, vite + @vitejs/plugin-react, react + react-dom (with their @types packages), tailwindcss + @tailwindcss/vite, and github/codeql-action*.
  • Leaves families without hard coupling ungrouped, like @vitest/eslint-plugin and actions/upload-artifact/actions/download-artifact, so a failure still names one bump.
  • Groups narrow rather than close the gap: a grouped PR carries only the members with an update available, so a one-sided release or advisory still lands one-sided.
  • Evidence comments cite versions resolved in pnpm-lock.yaml, label pending bumps as pending, and state release coordination per family; the React types pair is not pinned, and vite/@vitejs/plugin-react have no shared repo.

Written for commit 5c8e46e. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Grouped related npm package and GitHub Actions updates into coordinated batches.
    • Added dedicated grouping for security updates across Vitest, Vite, React, Tailwind, and related GitHub Actions.
    • Consolidated update notifications to make routine and security maintenance easier to review.

arkorlab#282 consolidated 47 Dependabot PRs by hand because "several of these
bumps are only correct in pairs", and recorded the pairs in a table.
The consolidation landed; the config that produced the split did not
change. Within a week the 2026-09-18 batch reproduced it: arkorlab#290/arkorlab#291,
arkorlab#285/arkorlab#273, arkorlab#288/arkorlab#287 and arkorlab#277/arkorlab#270 are the same four npm pairs, open
and split again, with arkorlab#273 red across 314 checks on its own.

Express that table as configuration. Each family is grouped only where
a manifest declares the coupling:

- `@vitest/coverage-v8@4.1.5` peers on `vitest: "4.1.5"`, an exact pin.
- `@vitejs/plugin-react` moves its supported Vite window with its own
  majors: 4.7.0 peers on `^4.2.0 || ^5.0.0 || ^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0`, 6.1.1
  peers on `^8.0.0`.
- `react-dom@19.3.0` peers on `react: "^19.3.0"`, and
  `@types/react-dom@19.3.0` peers on `@types/react: "^19.3.0"`.
- `@tailwindcss/vite@4.3.3` declares `tailwindcss: "4.3.3"` as a
  direct dependency rather than a peer, which is why bumping the CSS
  package alone left the old compiler in place.
- `github/codeql-action/init` and `/analyze` are two entry points of
  one action repository.

Families whose manifests declare only wide ranges stay ungrouped, so a
failure still names one bump: `@vitest/eslint-plugin` (peers on
`vitest: "*"`), the eslint plugin set, and
`actions/upload-artifact` / `download-artifact` (separate
repositories, independent versions).

Every family gets two entries, because `applies-to` is a per-group key
that defaults to `version-updates`: written once, a group leaves
security updates ungrouped and a CVE against one member would open its
own PR. That narrows the hole rather than closing it, and the file
says so: a grouped security PR carries only the members that have a
fix available, so an advisory against one half alone still produces a
one-sided bump.

The PR appears safe to merge; the follow-up changes resolve the prior documentation concern without introducing a new configuration issue.

Summary

Refines the Dependabot grouping documentation added by this PR so each lockstep family now states its actual release-coordination characteristics.

  • Removes the inaccurate claim that every grouped family shares one repository and version.
  • Documents independent Vite and React types release lines and their remaining one-sided-update windows.
  • Records the stronger coordination guarantees for Vitest, Tailwind, React runtime, and CodeQL action entry points.

Comment thread .github/dependabot.yaml Outdated
The evidence comments mixed two different versions without saying
which: the react and tailwind blocks quoted the version the pending
split PRs bump TO, not the one in the tree, so a reader checking them
against pnpm-lock.yaml would find neither package at the stated
version. The whole point of these comments is that the coupling is
verifiable next to the group, so quote the resolved version and name
the pending one as pending.

One of them was also simply wrong rather than merely stale. The types
pair does not pin: `@types/react-dom@19.2.3` peers on
`@types/react: ^19.2.0`, a minor-floor range. The hard coupling in
that family is the runtime pair (`react-dom@19.2.5` peers on
`react: ^19.2.5`); the types are in the group because Dependabot
already pairs each runtime package with its types, which is now what
the comment says.

Verified against pnpm-lock.yaml rather than the registry this time:
vitest 4.1.5 peers `vitest: 4.1.5`, plugin-react 4.7.0 peers
`vite: ^4.2.0 || ^5.0.0 || ^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0`, and
`@tailwindcss/vite@4.2.4` resolves `tailwindcss: 4.2.4` as a direct
dependency.

Comment thread .github/dependabot.yaml Outdated
The vitest block cited 5.0.1 immediately after its `(pnpm-lock.yaml)`
citation without labelling it, so it read as a second lockfile fact
when the tree resolves only 4.1.5. The vite and react blocks already
say "the pending 6.1.1" / "the pending 19.3.0 bump"; this one now
matches, and the paragraph is rewrapped to the file's width.

Reported by cubic (P3), and the same class as the previous commit:
an evidence comment is only worth having if a reader can tell which
claims they can check against the tree today.

34-36: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration

The root npm job already covers this workspace. Dependabot supports pnpm workspace catalogs and updates both pnpm-workspace.yaml and pnpm-lock.yaml from a root directory: / configuration. No additional workspace directories are required.

Comment thread .github/dependabot.yaml
The header claimed the "only members with an update available" rule as
a property of the SECURITY lane. It is not: a grouped version-update
PR carries only the members that have a release available too, so a
publish that reaches one half of a pair before the other still lands
one-sided. The note now covers both lanes and says what a group
actually buys, which is the case where both halves are available and
would otherwise arrive as two separately-red PRs (every row of arkorlab#282's
table).

It also names the residual honestly rather than leaving it implied:
the window is narrow for these families, since each is published from
one repository at one version and the shared cooldown delays both
halves equally, but closing it needs an invariant CI can enforce
rather than a Dependabot setting.

Reported by CodeRabbit. The CI invariant it suggests is deliberately
NOT in this PR: a new gate is its own change and CONTRIBUTING asks for
an issue before one.

Comment thread .github/dependabot.yaml Outdated
The previous commit claimed, for all five families at once, that "each
is published from a single repository at a single version". That is
true of three of them and false of the two that matter most:

- `@vitejs/plugin-react` is vitejs/vite-plugin-react, a DIFFERENT
  repository from `vite` (vitejs/vite), on an unrelated version line
  (4.7.0 against 6.4.2). That family has no release coordination at
  all, and is the one most likely to see a genuinely one-sided bump.
- `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` come from DefinitelyTyped on
  their own lines (19.2.14 and 19.2.3), independent of facebook/react
  and of each other, so a types-only one-sided bump is normal there.

A blanket reassurance that is wrong for the riskiest members is worse
than none: it invites a maintainer to assume the lockstep is tighter
than it is. Drop it from the header and state the evidence per family
instead, verified against the registry's `repository.url` and the
versions pnpm-lock.yaml resolves. The three coordinated families
(vitest-dev/vitest, facebook/react for the runtime pair,
tailwindlabs/tailwindcss) say so; codeql-action says it is the one
family with no window at all, since both entry points are the same
repo at the same SHA.

CodeRabbit の codeql-action-security に対する指摘(dependabot.yaml:118-133)を確認しましたが、前提が現状と合っていないので変更は入れません。 根拠を残します。

指摘の主張は「codeql-action-security group は eligible な Dependabot update しかまとめず、SHA 固定された CodeQL 参照には security-update のカバレッジを与えない」というものでした。

このリポの実際の状態:

.github/workflows/codeql.yaml:68
  uses: github/codeql-action/init@99df26d4f13ea111d4ec1a7dddef6063f76b97e9 # v4.37.0
.github/workflows/codeql.yaml:97
  uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@99df26d4f13ea111d4ec1a7dddef6063f76b97e9 # v4.37.0

SHA 固定ですが 末尾に版コメントが付いており、Dependabot はこれを読んで版を解決します。実際に解決できている証拠として、この SHA 固定参照に対する Dependabot PR が現に複数立っています:

PR 内容
#241 github/codeql-action/init 4.37.0 → 4.38.0
#238 github/codeql-action/analyze 4.37.0 → 4.38.0
#220 / #219 同 init / analyze を 4.37.0 → 4.37.6
#208 / #206 同 init / analyze を 4.37.0 → 4.37.3

つまり SHA 固定は Dependabot の版解決を妨げていません。手動・advisory ベースの別運用を文書化する必要はなく、書けばむしろ「Dependabot が見ていない」という誤った前提を残すことになります。

加えて、上の表は この PR が必要である理由そのもの です。#238/#241#219/#220#206/#208 はいずれも init と analyze が別 PR に割れた組で、片方だけ入れると Analyze ジョブが Loaded a configuration file for version '<new>', but running version '<old>' で落ちます(PR 本文で参照している #282 の5行目)。grouping はこの分割をなくすための設定で、SHA 固定とは独立です。

security-updates 側については、version-updates と同じ版解決経路を通るため、version 側が現に動いている以上こちらだけ効かないという根拠がありません。applies-to: security-updates の group を対で置いてあるのは、group key の既定値が version-updates で片方だけでは security 側が素通りするためで、これは PR 本文と設定コメントに記載済みです。
