Summary

  • makes Yarn Classic and root yarn.lock the sole root JavaScript authority; removes the unused root package-lock.json without touching scripts/site-build-gate/package-lock.json
  • adds root Dependabot coverage for npm/Yarn and GitHub Actions, plus an authority test and operator documentation
  • updates compatible security paths: Swagger UI 5.32.14, Mermaid 11.17.0, PostCSS 8.5.26, DOMPurify 3.4.14, js-yaml 4.3.1 and 3.15.1, nanoid 3.3.18, http-proxy-middleware 2.0.10, joi 17.13.6, and svgo 3.3.4
  • uses Yarn resolutions only where every current parent accepts the selected version; no incompatible transitive override is added

The separately vendored static Swagger distribution is reviewed in #2996. This PR aligns the root package graph without changing that static artifact.

Validation

  • yarn install --frozen-lockfile --force --registry https://registry.npmjs.org
  • yarn test:run — 435 Vitest assertions, 64 IndexNow checks, dependency-authority test, and site-build-gate tests
  • yarn build:netlify twice — all build and post-build gates passed; 4,157 output files were byte-identical (manifest SHA-256 7fe914310ad85f25071e9d6190a0bbb003d583ce70e05d7595e0e2a236059f1a)
  • yarn audit --json — targeted DOMPurify, js-yaml, nanoid, http-proxy-middleware, joi, and svgo advisories are absent

Remaining upstream-only audit findings

  • image-size@2.0.2 through Docusaurus MDX: both high advisories report no patched release.
  • serialize-javascript@6.0.2 through terser-webpack-plugin: patched releases require v7, outside the parent dependency range.
  • uuid@8.3.2 through SockJS/Docusaurus webpack dev server: the patched line is v11+, outside the parent dependency range.

The audit reports 20 high and 14 moderate dependency paths for these five advisory IDs; they are not silently suppressed or overridden.


Summary by cubic

Standardizes dependency authority on the root Yarn Classic yarn.lock, scopes Dependabot update checks to the root, and refreshes security-sensitive dependencies via compatible resolutions and minor bumps. Old: root also had an unused package-lock.json; new: Yarn-only at root with .github/dependabot.yml, a test that enforces root-scoped updates and vendor isolation, and README guidance; vendor scripts/site-build-gate/package-lock.json stays npm-managed.

  • Developers must use Yarn at the repo root; do not add a root package-lock.json. The vendor scripts/site-build-gate/package-lock.json remains npm-managed.
  • Dependabot watches only the root and GitHub Actions; owner-controlled vendors are excluded. tests/dependency_authority.test.js enforces root scoping and the expected resolutions.
  • Review package.json resolutions and direct bumps: js-yaml 4.3.1/3.15.1, http-proxy-middleware 2.0.10, joi 17.13.6, nanoid 3.3.18, svgo 3.3.4; swagger-ui 5.32.14, mermaid 11.17.0, postcss 8.5.26. These pins are compatible with all parents.
  • Validate with yarn install --frozen-lockfile && yarn test:run && yarn build:netlify. Targeted advisories for DOMPurify, js-yaml, nanoid, http-proxy-middleware, joi, and svgo no longer appear; upstream-only advisories (image-size, serialize-javascript, uuid) remain unsuppressed.

Written for commit 18d2dec. Summary will update on new commits.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project adds Dependabot schedules, documents dependency ownership, pins selected transitive dependencies, updates three packages, and adds an automated dependency-authority test to the standard test run.

Changes

Dependency authority

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency policy and configuration
.github/dependabot.yml, README.md, package.json
The project documents root dependency ownership and lockfile rules. Yarn resolutions and package versions are updated. Dependabot monitors root npm dependencies and GitHub Actions weekly.
Dependency authority validation
package.json, tests/dependency_authority.test.js
The standard test run executes a new test that validates package-manager settings, resolutions, lockfile placement, and Dependabot scope.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to eba26

The PR standardizes root dependency management and refreshes compatible security dependencies; the remaining bounded risk is that the Dependabot authority test may not catch an entry moved away from the repository root. This does not affect runtime behavior and is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up.
