| description | Update this junior-prod app to the latest published Junior release. Use when asked to self-update Junior, bump @sentry/junior and @sentry/junior-* dependencies, run safety checks, and open a draft PR. |
Workflow
1. Preflight
git status --short
git branch --show-current
Stop if package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or pnpm-workspace.yaml has unrelated uncommitted changes.
2. Inventory and target
Inventory direct Junior deps from package.json: @sentry/junior and @sentry/junior-*. Record package, current exact version, and dependency section. Keep all Junior deps on one version and do not move packages between sections.
Resolve the target:
pnpm view @sentry/junior dist-tags.latest
If user requests a specific version, use that. If already on latest, stop.
Verify the target exists for every inventoried package before mutating files:
pnpm view <package>@<target> version
Stop if any package lacks the target on npm.
3. Build release context
Summarize changes between old_version and target_version (exclusive of old, inclusive of target) from GitHub release notes. Do not read CHANGELOG.md or scrape PRs — release bodies carry the authoritative release context.
Tags match package versions with no v prefix (for example 0.107.1):
Ask npm to resolve the semver range to the exact tags, then fetch only those releases:
pnpm view '@sentry/junior@><old_version> <=<target_version>' version --json
gh release view <version> --repo getsentry/junior --json tagName,name,body,publishedAt,url
Collect the corresponding release bodies. Stop if any expected GitHub release is missing; do not substitute another source. Save the target release's publishedAt as target_published_at for step 7. Save total change count, breaking changes (Breaking Changes, !, or BREAKING CHANGE), and config-relevant items (config, plugins, nitro, createApp, runtime, credentials, egress, example). If any breaking change exists, keep the PR draft and call out manual review, but continue the update.
4. Create or reuse branch
build/update-junior-<target>. All file mutations happen on this branch.
5. Sync minimumReleaseAgeExclude
If pnpm-workspace.yaml has a minimumReleaseAgeExclude list, ensure every Junior package from step 2 is covered by an exact entry or an existing package pattern. Add missing entries before pnpm add, but do not add exact entries already covered by @sentry/*. Append at end and preserve existing order.
6. Update deps (section-preserving)
Group pnpm add by dependency section:
pnpm add -E <deps-packages>@<target> ...
pnpm add -D -E <devDeps-packages>@<target> ...
pnpm add -O -E <optDeps-packages>@<target> ...
Do not manually edit versions in package.json. Do not use local ../junior linking scripts.
7. Sync local config
If a new standalone @sentry/junior-* plugin package was added, add it to the app plugins.ts set passed to defineJuniorPlugins(...) and keep juniorNitro({ plugins: "./plugins" }) pointed at that module. Exclude the base/runtime utility packages: @sentry/junior, @sentry/junior-plugin-api, @sentry/junior-testing.
node scripts/check-plugin-packages.mjs
Compare the consumer config with apps/example at target_ref to catch shape drift. Choose target_ref from the version bump commit, then the publish timestamp, then origin/main as approximate:
git clone --filter=blob:none --depth=200 https://github.com/getsentry/junior.git /tmp/junior-upstream
git -C /tmp/junior-upstream log --oneline -S'"version": "<target_version>"' -- packages/junior/package.json
git -C /tmp/junior-upstream rev-list -n 1 --before="<target_published_at>" origin/main
git -C /tmp/junior-upstream checkout <target_ref>
git diff --no-index -- /tmp/junior-upstream/apps/example/nitro.config.ts nitro.config.ts
git diff --no-index -- /tmp/junior-upstream/apps/example/plugins.ts plugins.ts
git diff --no-index -- /tmp/junior-upstream/apps/example/server.ts server.ts
Ignore app-local values. Apply only obvious low-risk fixes; put ambiguous drift in the PR body. For package.json, compare only build tooling (nitro, jiti, typescript), not plugin dependency lists or pins.
For vercel.json, do not normalize the whole file against the example. Use upstream diff-backed changes when possible:
git -C /tmp/junior-upstream diff <old_ref>..<target_ref> -- apps/example/vercel.json
Only act on Junior-owned deployment requirements proven by that diff or by release notes/docs. If old_ref is unavailable, target-only example entries are context, not proof; mark the review approximate and leave a manual review item when needed.
8. Verify
git diff --name-only
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm check
pnpm typecheck
pnpm build
Expected changed files: package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, optional pnpm-workspace.yaml, optional nitro.config.ts, optional vercel.json. Confirm every Junior dep is exactly <target>. If the frozen install fails, repair with pnpm install --lockfile-only and rerun. Fix update-related check failures; disclose pre-existing or environment failures.
9. Commit
build(deps): Update Junior packages to <target>
Update the Junior runtime and plugin packages to <target> and refresh the pnpm lockfile.
Mention minimumReleaseAgeExclude sync if pnpm-workspace.yaml changed.
10. Push and open/update draft PR
Open a draft PR. Include version change, release summary with links to the GitHub releases, config comparison findings, optional workspace/plugin/vercel changes, and unexpected diffs. Do not put Checks, Verification, Test plan, or similar validation sections in the PR body; put local check results in the final user report only. Add Manual review required when breaking changes, unresolved config drift, approximate Vercel review, or failed checks exist.
When PR creation returns a subscribable resource hint, watch the PR for suggested review and CI events. After merge, if deployment follow-up is needed, use github_getDeployment for the merged commit and watch the suggested deployment events.
Automatic updates from GitHub releases
When asked to keep an app current whenever Junior publishes a release, resolve getsentry/junior with github_getRelease (no tag) and create a durable event task on release.published. The task instruction should load this skill and run the update against the published tag from the event's untrusted text / release payload. Prefer an event task for ongoing automation; use a temporary watch only when following one manually initiated update.
Stop conditions
- Any Junior package lacks the target version on npm.
- Any npm version in
(old_version, target_version] lacks a matching GitHub release.
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile fails after repair.- Checks fail for non-pre-existing, non-environment reasons and no safe config fix is available from step 7.
package.json changed but pnpm-lock.yaml did not.- Example app comparison reveals a breaking plugin signature change whose required values cannot be inferred from the existing consumer config.
