sq-gomod-dependabot

Maintainer workflow for Dependabot PRs updating go.mod / go.sum at the repository root. For site/ Bun/Hugo PRs, use sq-site-dependabot; for GitHub Actions pins under .github/workflows/, use sq-actions-dependabot.

No bun.lock sequencing — multiple gomod PRs are less coupled than site PRs, but still prefer merging after CI is green.

Operating modes

Mode	Actions	Merge
Audit	List/classify; direct vs indirect	No
Validate	Diff review; `make test-short`	No
Full	Validate + merge with consent	Per PR

Default to Audit unless the user asks to merge.

Phase 0 — Tool bootstrap

command -v gh >/dev/null && gh auth status
command -v go >/dev/null && go version

Phase 1 — Discovery

From repository root:

gh pr list --author 'app/dependabot' --state open \
  --json number,title,headRefName,mergeable,statusCheckRollup \
  --jq '.[] | select(.headRefName | test("^dependabot/")) | select(.title | test("go|gomod|golang"; "i"))'

The title filter matches go/golang, so it also catches GitHub Actions PRs like goreleaser-action or golangci-lint-action. Those touch only .github/workflows/, not go.mod; hand them to sq-actions-dependabot. Confirm the PR does not only touch site/ (gh pr diff <n> --name-only); if it touches both, split judgment: site hunks → sq-site-dependabot.

Phase 2 — Risk

Level	Examples	Action
Low	Patch indirect, test-only modules	Merge after CI
Medium	Direct minor/patch runtime dep	Notes + test-short
High	Major, `replace`, breaking sec	Hold; full review

Phase 3 — Validate

On PR branch:

make test-short
# or make test for full driver integration (Docker)

Review go mod why / diff for unexpected indirect churn.

Phase 4 — Merge (consent-gated)

After required checks pass:

gh pr merge <n> --squash --delete-branch

Use --admin only when the user explicitly requests and checks are green.
