description

Check the four upstream Aleo dependency streams (@provablehq/sdk on npm, ProvableHQ/leo releases, @provablehq/aleo-devnode on npm, and the @provablehq/aleo-wallet-adaptor-* packages from aleo-dev-toolkit) for new versions, apply the updates, re-run the affected integration tests, and fix whatever the bumps break. Use when asked to update, bump, or check Aleo/Provable dependencies or toolchain versions.

Update Aleo dependency streams

Four upstream streams feed this repo. For each: detect a newer version, apply it, re-run the affected tests, and fix breakage. Work one stream at a time and commit each stream separately ([Chore] Bump <thing> to <version> plus any [Fix] commits the bump forces). Devnode-gated tests require leo on PATH; aleo-devnode comes from node_modules/.bin after pnpm install.

Start with the detection script — it prints current-vs-latest for every stream (including the CI workflow pins) and exits 1 when anything is stale:

./scripts/check-upstream-versions.sh

When it exits 0, every stream is current — report that and stop. Otherwise work only the streams it flagged, using the sections below.

Automation around this skill: .github/workflows/upstream-check.yml runs the detection script daily, files an upstream-stale issue when something moved, and dispatches .github/workflows/claude-update-deps.yml — a Claude Code run of this skill that opens the update PR. A manual run of this skill supersedes both; close the issue when the update lands.

Full devnode verification command used throughout (append newer devnode test files if the CI workflow lists more):

VEIL_DEVNODE_INTEGRATION=1 pnpm vitest run --no-file-parallelism \
  packages/devnode/test/devnodeActions.integration.test.ts \
  packages/provable-sdk/test/integration/devnodeE2e.test.ts \
  packages/provable-sdk/test/integration/devnodeWrite.e2e.test.ts \
  packages/codegen/test/integration/creditsDevnode.e2e.test.ts

Live-API verification (read-only, no keys):

VEIL_INTEGRATION=1 pnpm vitest run --retry=2 \
  packages/core/test/integration/realApi.test.ts \
  packages/shield-swap/test/integration/reads.integration.test.ts \
  packages/shield-swap/test/integration/api.integration.test.ts \
  packages/shield-swap/test/integration/traders.integration.test.ts \
  packages/bridge/test/integration/api.integration.test.ts

1. @provablehq/sdk (npm)

1. npm view @provablehq/sdk version vs the range in packages/provable-sdk/package.json. Stop here if already current.
2. Bump the range, pnpm install, then run pnpm vitest run (unit) and the devnode verification command.
3. Known breakage patterns:
   • Consensus version count. DEVNODE_CONSENSUS_HEIGHTS in packages/provable-sdk/src/index.ts MUST have exactly as many entries as the new SDK's consensus-version count AND mirror the CONSENSUS_VERSION_HEIGHTS default in packages/devnode/src/index.ts. A short list panics with an opaque wasm unreachable inside getOrInitConsensusVersionTestHeights. Update both files together.
   • Renamed/removed SDK exports surface as type errors in packages/provable-sdk/src/index.ts — fix the imports, then re-run.
4. Finish with the live-API verification command (the SDK builds transactions for those paths too).

2. leo (ProvableHQ/leo releases)

1. gh release list -R ProvableHQ/leo --limit 1 vs leo --version.
2. Install the new binary locally (release asset zip or cargo install leo-lang), then update the pinned LEO_RELEASE env in .github/workflows/ci.yml to the new tag.
3. Run the devnode verification command.
4. Known breakage patterns (all bit at 4.2→4.3):
   • Language syntax changes break the inline Leo sources in packages/provable-sdk/test/integration/devnodeWrite.e2e.test.ts and devnodeE2e.test.ts (4.3: fn + final blocks replaced async transition/async function; explicit @noupgrade constructor() required; structs moved outside the program { } block).
   • Build artifact layout changes break packages/provable-sdk/test/integration/leoProject.ts (4.3 moved build/main.aleo → build/<name>/<name>.aleo) and the @provablehq/veil-leo JSDoc examples.
   • leo abi output shape changes break parseAbi in packages/core/src/utils/parseAbi.ts and the codegen round-trip test.

3. aleo-devnode (@provablehq/aleo-devnode on npm)

Distributed as a prebuilt-binary npm package, so it is pinned in the root package.json like any other dependency — there is no DEVNODE_RELEASE env and the toolchain action does not install it. pnpm install puts it in node_modules/.bin, which is on PATH for the test commands that spawn it.

1. npm view @provablehq/aleo-devnode version vs the root package.json range.
2. Bump it, pnpm install, and run the devnode verification command.
3. Read the release notes (gh release view <tag> -R ProvableHQ/aleo-devnode) for new node capabilities — new CLI flags, REST endpoints, or lifecycle commands. Anything a test or local-dev workflow would drive belongs in the SDK as an action:
   • Node lifecycle and process flags → packages/devnode/src/index.ts (startDevnode options, standalone helpers).
   • Live REST controls (the snapshot/advance/shutdown family) → test-client actions in packages/core/src/actions/test/ plus the TestClient surface, mirroring how snapshot/listSnapshots were added. Each new action needs unit tests, coverage in packages/devnode/test/devnodeActions.integration.test.ts, and JSDoc per .agents/contributors.md.
4. Consensus-heights coupling applies here too (see stream 1): if the new devnode changes its CONSENSUS_VERSION_HEIGHTS default expectations, update both mirrored lists.

4. aleo-dev-toolkit adaptor packages (npm)

The ProvableHQ/aleo-dev-toolkit monorepo publishes the @provablehq/aleo-wallet-adaptor-* packages consumed here.

1. npm view @provablehq/aleo-wallet-adaptor-core version (and -react, -shield, -leo, -puzzle, -fox) vs the pins in packages/react/package.json (exact versions) and the peer ranges in packages/wallet-adapter/package.json.

2. Bump, pnpm install, then run the consumer tests:

   pnpm vitest run packages/wallet-adapter packages/react
   

   and the dApp typecheck (pnpm --filter @provablehq/veil-loyalty-dapp exec tsc --noEmit).

3. Adapter interface changes ripple into packages/wallet-adapter/src/index.ts and packages/react/src/provider.tsx — fix, re-run, and keep apps/loyalty-dapp/ compiling (it is a release blocker per CLAUDE.md).

Wrap-up

• pnpm vitest run green from the repo root.
• The LEO_RELEASE pin in ci.yml matches the leo binary the tests ran against; aleo-devnode is pinned in the root package.json instead.
• Note in the PR body which streams moved and which were already current.
