WORKFLOW REVIEW · Workflow idea

Review software dependency update proposals with the source and approval in view.

For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, Prepare a reviewable set of dependency version changes and a summary of affected project files for maintainers. A version update can introduce vulnerabilities, break compatibility, or change license obligations. Verify package provenance and advisories, inspect the complete change, run appropriate tests in a safe environment, protect repository secrets, and require a maintainer to approve before merging or releasing. Confirm consent or another valid permission where applicable; minimize and protect personal or confidential data; verify material facts against their sources and respect content and access rights; assess safety and fairness; and require an accountable person to approve the exact result and any external or consequential action.
