| name | update-deps |
| description | Update all dependencies across hdb/, hdbext/, hdbhelper/, and hdbhelper-py/. Runs update script, presents change summary, updates CHANGELOG.md, and commits with approval. |
Context
This monorepo has four independent packages with no root package.json:
hdb/ and hdbext/ โ Node.js (npm, shrinkwrap)hdbhelper/ โ Go (go.mod)hdbhelper-py/ โ Python (pyproject.toml, pip)
Workflow
Step 1: Run the update script
Execute: bash scripts/update-deps.sh
The script may take several minutes. Capture stdout (JSON report) separately from stderr (progress messages). Show the stderr progress to the user as it runs.
Step 2: Parse and display the change summary
Parse the JSON report. Present a summary table:
| Package | Dependency | Old | New | Type |
|---|
For pinned dependencies (type="pinned"), show the note field and latest version so the user knows a manual bump is available.
For skipped packages, show the skip reason.
Step 3: Update CHANGELOG.md
Read CHANGELOG.md from the repo root. If it doesn't exist, create it with this header:
# Changelog
All notable dependency updates to this project are documented in this file.
Prepend a new entry after the header using today's date. Group dependency changes by package. Only include packages where at least one dependency actually changed (old != new). Include test results for all packages that were tested.
Format:
## YYYY-MM-DD
### Dependencies Updated
#### <package>/
- `<dep>` <old> -> <new>
### Test Results
- <package>: <passed/failed> (<summary>)
If NO dependencies changed across any package, report "All dependencies already up to date" and skip the changelog update and commit steps.
Step 4: Review gate
Show the diff with git diff. For go.sum changes, just report the line count ("go.sum: N lines changed") rather than the full diff.
Ask the user: "Ready to commit these dependency updates?"
Do NOT commit without explicit user approval.
Step 5: Commit
If the user approves:
- Stage all changed files:
git add hdb/ hdbext/ hdbhelper/ hdbhelper-py/ CHANGELOG.md
- Commit:
git commit -m "chore: update all dependencies (YYYY-MM-DD)"
Do NOT push. The user can push when ready.
