Summary

Auto-merge for Dependabot. The other organisation repositories run a dependabot-auto-merge workflow; this one had none, so every update waited for a manual merge. This adds it (the coordinode-lsm-tree version, actions pinned by SHA as in this repository's CI).

  • On a pull request Dependabot opened or pushed, it approves and arms auto-merge; GitHub merges once every check the default-branch ruleset requires has passed.
  • Every ecosystem merges this way, majors included, except a major GitHub Actions update (several actions run only in release.yml on a tag) and any Docker update (no job builds the demo image): those stay manual.
  • A push by anyone else disarms an armed merge; a maintainer's reopen re-arms it (fetch-metadata refuses a branch holding anyone else's commits); approval and merge are bound to the inspected head SHA. pull_request_target with no checkout. In the organisation's other repositories, Dependabot-triggered runs of this workflow get the Actions secrets and merge workflow-file updates with the contents and pull-requests grants alone.

Every dependency to its latest release (replaces the open Dependabot pull requests #117-#123):

  • coordinode-embedded: PyO3 0.24 -> 0.29 and rust-numpy 0.24 -> 0.29, which also clears the PyO3 advisory fixed only in 0.29; the code follows the renamed API (Py<PyAny>, PyOnceLock, Python::detach, Bound::cast). The rest of Cargo.lock at the newest compatible versions.
  • uv.lock upgraded throughout, majors included where the declared ranges allow; grpcio and grpcio-tools level at 1.84 for the generated stubs, and coordinode now requires grpcio>=1.84.0, the runtime those stubs accept (a new unit test holds the grpcio and protobuf floors to the generated code); openai stays 2.x (capped by llama-index-llms-openai).
  • GitHub Actions: checkout v7.0.1, setup-uv v10.2.0, maturin-action v1.51.0, upload-artifact v7.0.1, download-artifact v8.0.1, setup-python v7.0.0, setup-qemu v4.4.0, action-gh-release v3.0.3, create-github-app-token v3.2.0, release-please-action v5.0.0. Their breaking changes (Node 24, ESM, download-artifact failing on a digest mismatch, setup-uv disabling its cache on pull_request_target) touch no input these workflows use.
  • The demo image's uv stage to 0.12.23.

Testing

  • Unit tests: 367 passed (incl. the runtime-floor test, seen failing on the old floor), embedded extension built on PyO3 0.29 (release profile), none skipped.
  • Integration tests: 94 passed against a 0.7.0 server.
  • cargo clippy -D warnings and cargo fmt --check clean; ruff check and format clean.
  • Demo image rebuilt on the upgraded lock; all five notebooks executed with nbconvert --execute.
  • Not exercisable before a tag: the release-only actions (download-artifact, action-gh-release, setup-python, setup-qemu); checked against their release notes.

The other organisation repositories approve and arm auto-merge on
Dependabot's minor and patch pull requests; this one had no such
workflow, so every update waited for a manual merge. Auto-merge only
arms the merge: it lands once the checks the default-branch ruleset
requires have passed. Major updates and any pull request someone else
pushed to stay manual, and a foreign push disarms an armed merge.
CI covers Python and Rust updates of any size, so a major there merges
once checks are green too. A major GitHub Actions update stays manual:
several actions run only in release.yml on a tag, where a green pull
request proves nothing.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Eligible Dependabot pull requests are now automatically approved and set to squash-merge, except for Docker updates and major GitHub Actions updates. Auto-merge is disabled for qualifying updates from other authors when the pull request head still matches the update event.
    • Updated build, CI, and release tooling, plus Python integration and gRPC components.
  • Tests
    • Added checks to ensure declared runtime version requirements remain compatible with generated code.

Adds conditional approval and auto-merge handling for Dependabot pull requests. Updates pinned CI and release actions, migrates embedded Python bindings to newer PyO3 APIs, and aligns gRPC dependency floors with generated-code versions.

Changes: Dependabot auto-merge

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow triggers and permissions
.github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml
Defines pull request event triggers, read-only default-token permissions, per-PR concurrency, and a GitHub App token with contents and pull request write permissions.
Conditional pull request actions
.github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml
For non-Dependabot synchronizations, disables armed auto-merge only when the pull request head matches the event SHA. Fetches metadata and verifies commits before approving the event head and enabling squash auto-merge for eligible updates. Docker updates and major GitHub Actions updates are excluded.

CI and release action updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
CI action revisions
.github/workflows/ci.yml
Updates pinned checkout, setup-uv, and maturin action revisions across CI jobs. Recursive submodule checkout remains configured where applicable.
Release workflow action revisions
.github/workflows/release-please.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml
Updates pinned actions used by release preparation, builds, artifact handling, publishing, and GitHub Releases. Existing workflow conditions, inputs, and artifact handling remain unchanged.

Embedded PyO3 migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
PyO3 dependency and binding updates
coordinode-embedded/Cargo.toml, coordinode-embedded/src/hnsw.rs, coordinode-embedded/src/lib.rs
Updates pyo3 and numpy requirements to 0.29. Binding code uses PyOnceLock, Py<PyAny>, and cast; HNSW insertion and search use Python::detach.

Generated-code runtime floors

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency floors and generated-code checks
coordinode/pyproject.toml, pyproject.toml, demo/Dockerfile.jupyter, tests/unit/test_runtime_floors.py
Raises gRPC-related minimum dependency versions and updates the Jupyter build-stage uv image. New tests compare declared grpcio and protobuf floors with generated-code versions.

The new Dependabot auto-merge workflow can be made to approve and merge commits that only claim Dependabot authorship. Someone able to push to a Dependabot branch could get their own changes merged automatically after checks pass. Tighten the commit identity check before merging.

- Docker updates stay manual: no job builds the demo image, so a green
  pull request says nothing about a base-image change.
- The fetch-metadata pin is the v3.1.0 commit; the comment said v3.1.1.
- Comments state what the organisation's runs show: Dependabot-triggered
  pull_request_target runs get the Actions secrets, the App installation
  merges workflow changes with contents and pull-requests alone, and a
  foreign push is disarmed in seconds while the rerun checks take minutes.
- PyO3 0.24 -> 0.29 and rust-numpy 0.24 -> 0.29 for coordinode-embedded,
  which also clears the PyO3 advisory fixed only in 0.29. Code follows
  the renamed API: Py<PyAny> for PyObject, PyOnceLock for GILOnceCell,
  Python::detach for allow_threads, Bound::cast for downcast. The rest
  of Cargo.lock moves to the newest compatible versions.
- uv.lock upgraded throughout, majors included where the declared
  ranges allow (grpcio and grpcio-tools stay level at 1.84 for the
  generated stubs; openai stays 2.x, capped by llama-index-llms-openai).
- GitHub Actions to their latest releases, pinned by commit: checkout
  v7.0.1, setup-uv v10.2.0, maturin-action v1.51.0, upload-artifact
  v7.0.1, download-artifact v8.0.1, setup-python v7.0.0, setup-qemu
  v4.4.0, action-gh-release v3.0.3, create-github-app-token v3.2.0,
  release-please-action v5.0.0. None of their breaking changes touch an
  input these workflows use.
- The demo image's uv stage to 0.12.23.

Verified: unit tests 365 passed with the embedded extension built on
PyO3 0.29, integration tests 94 passed against a 0.7.0 server, clippy
with -D warnings clean, and all five demo notebooks run on the rebuilt
demo image.

The stubs are now generated by grpcio-tools 1.84, and each one raises at
import under an older grpcio runtime, but coordinode still declared
grpcio>=1.83.1: an install keeping 1.83 resolved and then failed when a
client connected. The floor is now 1.84.0, with the grpcio-tools floors
moved with it.

Regression test test_runtime_floors holds the grpcio and protobuf
floors to the versions recorded in the generated code (seen failing on
the 1.83.1 floor).
Closing a pull request disarms its auto-merge, and a maintainer's reopen
took the disarm path (the actor is not Dependabot) and never armed it
again. Only a synchronize by someone else disarms now; a reopen runs the
metadata and approval steps, where fetch-metadata refuses a branch that
holds commits other than Dependabot's.

- The trigger: a Dependabot-triggered `pull_request_target` run on a
  default-branch base receives the Actions secrets; the comment names a
  run of the same workflow that minted the App token and armed the merge.
- The token: the same two grants auto-merged Dependabot updates to
  workflow files in another repository of the organisation; the comment
  names them.
- The ecosystem check: `package-ecosystem` comes from the Dependabot
  branch name, so GitHub Actions updates are `github_actions`.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate every commit before re-arming auto-merge.

On reopened, the pinned metadata action checks only commits[0]. A later non-Dependabot commit can therefore pass metadata. The workflow can then approve and arm auto-merge for the current head, allowing foreign code to merge when checks pass.

Add a complete commit-history check before the approval step. Keep the existing HEAD_SHA binding.

dependabot/fetch-metadata checks only the first commit of the pull
request. On a reopen, a branch someone else pushed to on top of
Dependabot's commit passed it, and the workflow then approved that head
and armed auto-merge for it.

A new step lists every commit of the pull request and requires each to
be Dependabot's with a verified signature, and the last one to be the
head the run approves. Approval and auto-merge now depend on it, on the
reopen path and on Dependabot's own runs alike. The comment that said
the metadata action checked every commit is corrected.

The commit check trusted the author and the signature. The author is
whatever the commit claims, and a signature verifies the signer, not the
author: a commit signed with someone's own key under Dependabot's name
passed both.

A genuine Dependabot commit is committed and signed by GitHub (committer
web-flow, as on the open Dependabot updates of this repository), so the
check now requires that committer too.
