From d46ae2dc64bf2de659588464656e3b65a4c9a72a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Moisan Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 09:51:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/33] docs(911): promote dependabot fan-out and CI-failing NuGet upgrade bug Records the diagnosis that Dependabot cannot maintain the .csproj state coupled to packages.config in non-SDK projects, and the settled design in which Dependabot detects while a NuGet-driven workflow performs the upgrade.

Dependabot does maintain .csproj and app.config state; its packages.config updater invokes the NuGet CLI. The verified cause is that while updating one group it also rewrites the Import and Error guards of out-of-scope packages to a version no manifest declares, so restore and build disagree and the package-imports target fails closed. Adds spec.md with 26 acceptance criteria, the research artifact, and a runbook for the one-time GitHub App token setup.

R1 — Will the upgrade PR carry the required checks? + +### 3.1 (a) Does the suppression apply? + +**Yes, to `push`. Partially, to `pull_request`.** + +`[DOC]` GitHub Actions documentation, *Triggering a workflow → Triggering a workflow from a +workflow*. Verbatim: + +> "When you use the repository's `GITHUB_TOKEN` to perform tasks, events triggered by the +> `GITHUB_TOKEN` will not create a new workflow run, with the following exceptions:" + +Exception 1, verbatim: `workflow_dispatch` and `repository_dispatch` events "always create +workflow runs." + +Exception 2, verbatim: + +> "`pull_request` events with the `opened`, `synchronize`, or `reopened` activity types: when a +> workflow using `GITHUB_TOKEN` creates or updates a pull request, the resulting `pull_request` +> event creates workflow runs in an **approval-required** state. The pull request displays a +> banner in the merge box, and a user with write access to the repository can start the runs by +> selecting **Approve workflows to run**." + +Confidence: **high**. Extracted three times with differently-phrased prompts against the rendered +page, returning the same text each time, and corroborated independently from the page's markdown +source on `raw.githubusercontent.com`, which states that a GitHub App or PAT "also allows +`pull_request` workflows to run automatically without approval prompts when pull requests are +created or updated by automation" — the same behaviour described from the other side. + +Applied to this repository: + +- **`push` on the bot branch — dead twice over.** Suppressed by the `GITHUB_TOKEN` rule, and + `ci.yml`'s `push` filter is `[main, development]`, which a feature branch would not match + regardless. +- **`pull_request` on the bot-created PR — created, but parked.** `ci.yml` triggers on + `pull_request: [main, development]` with default activity types (`opened`, `synchronize`, + `reopened`), so all five checks *are* created against the PR head SHA. They sit in + approval-required state until a repository writer clicks **Approve workflows to run**. + +So the brief's worst case — "the upgrade PR would carry **zero** required checks and could never +satisfy `strict_required_status_checks_policy`" — is **not** what happens. The accurate statement +is: the PR carries all five required checks, and they do not start until a human approves them +once. The design is not invalidated; it acquires a recurring one-click human dependency. + +`[DOC]` There is **no repository setting that removes this requirement.** The +"Approval for running fork pull request workflows from contributors" settings +(first-time contributors new to GitHub / first-time contributors / all external contributors) +govern fork PRs, not `GITHUB_TOKEN`-authored PRs. The `pull_request_target` carve-out +("workflows triggered by these events will always run, regardless of approval settings") does not +apply — `ci.yml` does not use `pull_request_target`, and adopting it for this purpose would be a +security regression. Confidence: **medium-high** (one source, read-only). + +### 3.2 (b) Workarounds, mechanism, and cost + +#### (ii) `workflow_dispatch` against `ci.yml` — **ELIMINATED** + +This is the critical sub-question in the brief, and the answer is decisive. + +`[DOC]` GitHub documentation, *Troubleshooting required status checks*, under the heading +**"Checks from some workflow jobs are not evaluated"**, verbatim: + +> "For checks created by workflow jobs to be evaluated for a pull request, the workflow run must +> be triggered by one of these events: +> * `push` +> * `pull_request` +> * `pull_request_review` +> * `pull_request_target` +> * `deployment` +> * `deployment_status`" + +and, verbatim: + +> "For example, if a workflow is triggered by `workflow_dispatch` on a pull request's head branch, +> checks reported by its jobs do not appear in the pull request's checks section." + +Confidence: **high**. Extracted twice with independent prompts; the second run returned the exact +heading and the literal `workflow_dispatch` example sentence. + +The same source also states: "Required checks must pass on the latest commit SHA. Checks from +earlier commits don't satisfy the requirement," and "If a check and a commit status have the same +name, both must pass when that name is required." + +`[INFER]` The structural evidence from the REST API pointed the other way and would have misled a +shallower reading: `[DOC]` the *List check runs for a Git reference* endpoint keys check runs on +`head_sha` + `name` + optional `app_id`, with **no** field identifying the triggering event. The +absence of an event field in the data model does not imply the evaluator ignores the event — the +evaluator applies an event allow-list that is not represented in the check-run payload. Option +(ii) is therefore eliminated on documentation that is specific, recent, and directly on point. + +This also eliminates **(iv) `workflow_run` chaining** by the same rule: `workflow_run` is not in +the allow-list, so a `workflow_run`-triggered `ci.yml` produces checks that are not evaluated for +the PR. + +#### (iii) Add the upgrade-branch pattern to `ci.yml`'s `push` filter — **ELIMINATED as stated** + +`push` **is** in the allow-list, so on its face this works. It fails on the other constraint: a +push performed with `GITHUB_TOKEN` does not create a `push` workflow run at all. Widening the +filter changes nothing. + +It becomes viable only if the branch is pushed with a **non-`GITHUB_TOKEN` credential**. The +cheapest such credential is an SSH **deploy key** with write access — `[DOC]` +`peter-evans/create-pull-request` documents deploy keys as the workaround that triggers +`on: push` workflows only. Cost: a one-time human setup (generate keypair, add the public key as +a repo deploy key with write access, store the private key as a secret), plus the fact that a +deploy key cannot open a pull request, so PR creation still needs `GITHUB_TOKEN` (permitted: +`can_approve_pull_request_reviews: true`). The result is a PR whose checks came from the `push` +event — allowed — but whose `pull_request` runs sit unapproved and, being required by name, would +themselves block. `[INFER]` This mixed state is fragile and not recommended: two runs of the same +check name on the same SHA, one green from `push` and one pending from `pull_request`, and the +documentation says same-named checks must both pass. Confidence: medium — the same-name rule is +quoted, but the specific interaction was not observed. + +#### (i) Fine-grained PAT or GitHub App installation token — **RECOMMENDED** + +Mechanism: the upgrade workflow authenticates PR creation (and the branch push) with a token that +is not `GITHUB_TOKEN`. The recursion suppression is keyed on the token, so the `pull_request` +`opened` event fires normally, un-parked. `ci.yml`'s existing `pull_request: [main, development]` +trigger fires, all five checks run on the PR head SHA under the `pull_request` event — which is in +the allow-list — and they are evaluated for the ruleset. + +`[DOC]` Verbatim from the GitHub Actions documentation: + +> "If you do want to trigger a workflow from within a workflow run, you can use a GitHub App +> installation access token or a personal access token instead of `GITHUB_TOKEN` to trigger events +> that require a token." + +Cost, compared against each other: + +| | Fine-grained PAT | GitHub App installation token | +|---|---|---| +| Setup | Create PAT scoped to this repo with Contents: write, Pull requests: write; store as a secret | Create App, grant Contents: write + Pull requests: write, install on repo, store App ID + private key as secrets, mint token per run via `actions/create-github-app-token` | +| Expiry | Fine-grained PATs expire (max 1 year); silent breakage at expiry | Installation tokens are minted per run and expire in 1 hour; the App private key does not expire | +| Attribution | Acts as the human owner; their name is on every upgrade PR | Acts as the App; clean bot attribution | +| Blast radius | Tied to a human account's permissions | Scoped to the App's declared permissions | +| Extra action dependency | None | `actions/create-github-app-token` (allowed: `allowed_actions: all`) | + +**Recommendation: GitHub App installation token.** The deciding factor is expiry. A PAT converts +this workflow into a thing that silently stops working on a date nobody has written down; the App +private key does not expire and the per-run token does. Attribution and least-privilege both also +favour the App. The extra action dependency is acceptable given `allowed_actions: all`. + +#### Interaction with `strict_required_status_checks_policy: true` + +`[DOC]` "The topic branch **must** be up to date with the base branch before merging." `[INFER]` +This is an ongoing obligation, not a one-time one: if `main` advances after the upgrade PR is +opened, the PR goes stale and needs a branch update, which produces a new head SHA and a new round +of checks. Two consequences for the design: + +1. The upgrade workflow must cut its branch from the **current** `origin/main` immediately before + pushing, not from a cached checkout. +2. The workflow should enable auto-merge (`gh pr merge --auto --squash`) so the PR lands as soon as + the five checks go green, minimising the window in which `main` can move. If it does go stale, + recovery is `gh pr update-branch`, which — performed with the App token — produces a + `synchronize` event that re-runs the checks un-parked. + +### 3.3 (c) Unattended capability + +| Option | Unattended after setup? | Human interaction required | +|---|---|---| +| GitHub App token | **Yes** | One-time: create App, install, store two secrets | +| Fine-grained PAT | Yes until expiry | One-time: create PAT, store secret. Recurring: rotate before expiry | +| `GITHUB_TOKEN` only | **No** | Recurring: click "Approve workflows to run" on every upgrade PR | +| Deploy key + `push` filter | Partially | One-time: generate and install key. Plus unresolved same-name-check conflict | +| `workflow_dispatch` | n/a | Eliminated — checks not evaluated | +| `workflow_run` | n/a | Eliminated — checks not evaluated | + +**There is no option with zero human setup.** Every route that produces evaluated checks on an +automation-created PR requires either a credential a human must mint and store, or a click a human +must make. This is classified in § Automation Feasibility. + +### 3.4 Secondary R1 finding: "Dependabot detect-only" is not a Dependabot mode + +`[INFER]` The settled design says "Dependabot detects only." Dependabot has no detect-only mode for +version updates: it always opens a pull request containing its edits. With +`open-pull-requests-limit: 1` it will open one red PR per cycle, which the upgrade workflow must +consume (read the target versions from the branch diff or the PR body) and then close. Closing a +Dependabot PR without merging suppresses re-creation of that same version bump, which is the +desired behaviour. This consumption-and-close step is not in the spec's design summary and needs +to be added. Inputs: `.github/dependabot.yml` has no detect-only key `[OBS-LOCAL]`; PR #908 and +the branch list show PRs are always opened with edits `[OBS-REMOTE]`. + +--- + +## 4. R2 — Does `nuget update` add a `` for a newly added assembly? + +**This could not be executed here.** No shell tool was available (§ 0), no `packages\` folder +exists in this worktree (`Glob packages/Meziantou.Analyzer.*/**/*.dll` → no files), and neither +`nuget.exe` nor `msbuild` could be located or invoked. The question is therefore settled by +documentation, source, and an observed artefact of the command's real output on this repository. + +### 4.1 The documentation says no + +`[DOC]` `learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/cli-reference/cli-ref-update`, verbatim: + +> "The `update` command also updates assembly references in the project file, provided those +> references already exist. If an updated package has an added assembly, a new reference is *not* +> added. New package dependencies also don't have their assembly references added. To include +> these operations as part of an update, update the package in Visual Studio using the Package +> Manager UI or the Package Manager Console." + +Note the page metadata: `ms.date: 2017-12-07`, `updated_at: 2021-06-17`. This text predates +nothing relevant in NuGet 6.x/7.x but is itself eight years old. + +### 4.2 The source says yes + +`[SRC]` `NuGet.Client/src/NuGet.Core/NuGet.PackageManagement/Projects/MSBuildNuGetProject.cs`, +`InstallPackageAsync`: + +```csharp +if (!IsSkipAssemblyReferences(nuGetProjectContext) && + MSBuildNuGetProjectSystemUtility.IsValid(compatibleReferenceItemsGroup)) +{ + foreach (var referenceItem in compatibleReferenceItemsGroup.Items) + { + if (IsAssemblyReference(referenceItem)) + { + var referenceItemFullPath = Path.Combine(packageInstallPath, referenceItem); + var referenceName = Path.GetFileName(referenceItem); + + if (await ProjectSystem.ReferenceExistsAsync(referenceName)) + { + await ProjectSystem.RemoveReferenceAsync(referenceName); + } + + await ProjectSystem.AddReferenceAsync(referenceItemFullPath); + } + } +} +``` + +This iterates **every** compatible reference item in the new package and adds each one. There is no +"only if it already existed" condition — the `ReferenceExistsAsync` check exists to remove a stale +element before re-adding, not to skip new ones. The guard: + +```csharp +private static bool IsSkipAssemblyReferences(INuGetProjectContext nuGetProjectContext) +{ + var msBuildNuGetProjectContext = nuGetProjectContext as IMSBuildNuGetProjectContext; + return msBuildNuGetProjectContext != null && + msBuildNuGetProjectContext.SkipAssemblyReferences; +} +``` + +returns true only when the context explicitly opts out; `nuget.exe update` does not set it. +`[SRC]` `UpdateCommand.cs` reaches this code by calling +`packageManager.PreviewUpdatePackagesAsync(...)` then +`packageManager.ExecuteNuGetProjectActionsAsync(...)` against an `MSBuildNuGetProject`, i.e. the +update is executed as uninstall actions followed by install actions. + +### 4.3 The observed artefact breaks the tie + +`[OBS-REMOTE]` Because Dependabot *is* `nuget update` on this repository (§ 1.2), PR #908 is an +observation of this command's real output here. In it: + +- `True` is **added** to a reference that did not have it; +- `processorArchitecture=MSIL` is **dropped** from the `Reference Include` attribute value. + +`[INFER]` A code path that merely rewrites version substrings in an existing element cannot +produce either change. Both are the signature of the element being removed and regenerated by +`MSBuildProjectSystem.AddReference` from the assembly's own identity. The regeneration loop is the +one quoted in § 4.2, and that loop necessarily emits an element for an assembly that was not +previously referenced. + +### 4.4 Recommendation and confidence + +**Recommended reading: the optimistic one. `nuget update` does add a `` for a +newly-added assembly. The 2017-era documentation note describes pre-3.x behaviour and is stale.** + +**Confidence: medium-high.** The implementation is unambiguous and the observed diff corroborates +that the regenerating path is what actually runs in this repository. It falls short of high +because no case was observed in which the new package version genuinely introduced an assembly the +old version lacked — the corroboration is of the mechanism, not of the specific outcome. + +**A third post-pass is therefore not required.** However, because the confidence is not high and +the failure mode (a missing ``) is silent until compile time, the plan should include a +**reference-completeness check inside the verifier** rather than a post-pass: for each package in +each manifest, resolve the compatible `lib\` assets on disk and assert a `` with a +matching `` exists. This is cheap, idempotent, pure over parsed state, and it makes the +optimistic reading falsifiable on the first run instead of load-bearing. + +Explicit assumption: that `dependabot-core` pins a NuGet.Client version whose +`MSBuildNuGetProject` matches the `dev`-branch source read here. Not verified. If Dependabot +pinned a much older NuGet, § 4.3's corroboration weakens but § 4.2's source reading still applies +to whatever version the workflow itself pins (R5). + +--- + +## 5. R3 — Dependabot YAML for exactly one PR per cycle + +### 5.1 What the current configuration actually does + +`[OBS-LOCAL]` `.github/dependabot.yml` declares one `nuget` block with `directories: ["/*"]`, +`open-pull-requests-limit: 10`, four groups, and eight `ignore` entries scoped to +`version-update:semver-major`. + +Two facts settle the consolidation question: + +- `[DOC]` The Dependabot options reference states, of groups: "All updates for dependencies that + match a rule are combined in a single pull request," and specifically about directories: "If + directories have incompatible version constraints for a dependency, Dependabot will create + separate pull requests." That exception only makes sense if the rule is consolidation. +- `[OBS-REMOTE]` PR #908 is one pull request spanning 10 project directories (claim N3). This is + direct observation of consolidation on this repository, not a documentation reading. + +**Answer: a single group with a catch-all pattern combined with the multi-directory key does +consolidate across directories.** Dependabot does not split per directory. The current +configuration produces four PRs because it declares four groups, not because of the glob. + +### 5.2 The `group-by` key is not real + +`[OBS-LOCAL]` All four groups carry `group-by: "dependency-name"`. + +`[DOC]` The Dependabot options reference enumerates the group keys as `applies-to`, +`dependency-type`, `patterns`, `exclude-patterns`, and `update-types`. A separate documentation +fetch, prompted with a leading question ("Does `group-by` exist as a valid key?"), answered yes and +produced an example — `[INFER]` this is very likely small-model confirmation bias, because the +enumerated key list from the reference page does not contain it. + +The observed behaviour settles it: if `group-by: dependency-name` meant "one PR per dependency +name," `open-pull-requests-limit: 10` would be saturated every cycle. `[OBS-REMOTE]` PR #908 bundles +11 dependency updates in one PR.

Confidence: high; this was the explicit subject of a targeted search of the file. + +`[INFER]` The consequences are exhaustive across the CLI's verbs: + +- `nuget restore` never opens a `.csproj` for writing at all; it materialises packages into + `packages\`. +- `nuget install` installs into a folder, not a project; it has no project system. +- `nuget update` does have a project system (`MSBuildProjectSystem`) but, per the source above, + never asks it to add an analyzer. + +Analyzer items in `packages.config` projects are written only by Visual Studio's project system. +`[SRC]` `MSBuildNuGetProject.InstallPackageAsync` does call +`ProjectServices.ScriptService.ExecutePackageScriptAsync(...)` for `install.ps1`, but under +`nuget.exe` there is no EnvDTE host for such a script to drive. + +This is fully consistent with the observed repository state: manifests, `` and `` +all at Meziantou.Analyzer 3.0.235, `` alone at 3.0.203 (§ 2.2a). + +### 6.2 The mapping is not a single convention — an important trap + +The obvious algorithm — `..\packages\.\analyzers\dotnet\cs\.dll` — is **wrong for +three of the five analyzer families in this repository**. `[OBS-LOCAL]` +`UtilitiesCS\UtilitiesCS.csproj` lines 1308-1317: + +```xml + + + + + + + + + +``` + +Four distinct shapes are present: + +| Family | Shape | Assemblies | +|---|---|---| +| `AsyncFixer`, `Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.BannedApiAnalyzers`, `MSTest.Analyzers` | `analyzers\dotnet\cs\` | 1, 2, 2 | +| `Meziantou.Analyzer` | `analyzers\dotnet\roslyn5.0\cs\` — Roslyn-version-qualified | 1 | +| `Roslynator.Analyzers` | `analyzers\dotnet\roslyn4.7\cs\` — different Roslyn version, mangled assembly names | 4 | +| `SonarAnalyzer.CSharp` | `analyzers\` — no `dotnet`, no language folder | 1 | + +`[INFER]` A synthesizer that assumes `analyzers\dotnet\cs\.dll` would produce eight wrong +paths in this one project. Worse, the Roslyn-version folder is not a fixed string: the correct +folder depends on which `roslynNN` subfolders the *new* package version ships and which the build's +Roslyn supports, and that can change on a version bump — which is exactly when the post-pass runs. + +### 6.3 The algorithm the post-pass must use + +The only sound approach is **enumerate the restored package on disk**; do not pattern-match from +the id. Because the workflow runs `nuget restore` before `nuget update` anyway, the new version's +content is already materialised under `packages\.\` when the post-pass runs. + +For each project directory `P` with a `packages.config`: + +1. Parse `P\packages.config` into `{id → version}`. +2. Compute the current `` set `A_old` from `P\.csproj`, and derive from + each path the owning `.` folder segment. +3. For each package `(id, version)` in the manifest: + a. Let `root = packages\.\analyzers`. If it does not exist, the package ships no + analyzers — contribute nothing. + b. Enumerate candidate asset directories under `root`, recursively, retaining only those whose + terminal path is one of: + - `\dotnet\\cs` + - `\dotnet\cs` + - `\cs` + - `` itself + where `` matches `^roslyn\d+(\.\d+)*$`. + c. Discard any candidate whose path contains a language folder other than `cs` + (`vb`, `fs`), and any under a `tools\` or `build\` sibling. + d. Among surviving candidates that differ only by ``, select the **highest** + `roslynFolder` version that does not exceed the Roslyn version of the MSBuild in use. + Prefer the plain `dotnet\cs` (unversioned) form only when no versioned folder qualifies. + e. Emit one `` per `*.dll` directly in the selected directory, excluding + resource satellite assemblies (`*.resources.dll`) and any file under a culture subfolder. + f. Render each path relative to `P` as `..\packages\.\analyzers\...`, using + backslash separators to match the existing file. +4. Replace the `` containing `A_old` with the computed set, **preserving**: + - the existing explanatory comment (``), and + - the `` element, + which `[OBS-LOCAL]` lives inside the same `ItemGroup` (line 1316) and is **not** an analyzer + item. Losing it would silently disable `BannedApiAnalyzers`. +5. Emit a per-project report of added/removed/retargeted paths for the PR body's "Repairs applied" + block. + +Two properties make this testable without the network, which matters for the Pester coverage +requirement: steps 1-3 are a pure function of `(manifest, directory listing)`, and step 4 is a pure +function of `(csproj text, computed set)`. The directory listing is the only I/O and can be +injected as a delegate per `.claude/rules/powershell.md` § Design Seams. + +Explicit assumption: that the Roslyn version of the MSBuild on `windows-latest` is >= the highest +`roslynNN` folder any of these five packages ships, making step 3(d) a simple "pick the highest." +Not verified. If it is not, 3(d) needs a real MSBuild-version-to-Roslyn-version table, and the +verifier will catch the mistake as a `CS0006`/analyzer-load failure in `build-analyzers`. + +--- + +## 7. R5 — Pinning the NuGet CLI version + +### 7.1 Current state + +`[OBS-LOCAL]` Three workflows carry `nuget-version: latest` at line 33: +`_build-analyzers.yml`, `_build-nullable.yml`, `_mstest-coverage.yml`. All three use +`nuget/setup-nuget@v2`. `_format-check.yml` and `_actionlint.yml` use no NuGet. + +### 7.2 What `latest` resolves to + +`[DOC]` `nuget/setup-nuget` accepts `latest` ("the latest blessed NuGet release"), `preview`, +an exact `X.Y.Z`, or a semver range. + +`[DOC]` `https://dist.nuget.org/tools.json`, most recent `ReleasedAndBlessed` entries: + +| Version | Release date | +|---|---| +| **7.9.0** | 2026-08-11 | +| 7.6.0 | 2026-05-12 | +| 7.3.1 | 2026-04-14 | +| 7.3.0 | 2026-02-10 | +| 7.0.3 | 2026-04-14 | +| 6.14.3 | 2026-04-14 | + +So `latest` resolves to **7.9.0** today, and has since 2026-08-11. + +### 7.3 Recommendation: pin `7.9.0` + +```yaml + - name: Setup NuGet + uses: nuget/setup-nuget@v2 + with: + # Pinned, not floating. `latest` resolves to the newest ReleasedAndBlessed entry in + # dist.nuget.org/tools.json and would silently change the tool that writes .csproj and + # app.config during a dependency upgrade. 7.9.0 is what `latest` resolved to when this + # pin was taken (released 2026-08-11), so the pin freezes current behaviour rather than + # changing it. See issue #911. + nuget-version: '7.9.0' +``` + +How the version was chosen: + +1. **Freeze observed behaviour, do not change it.** CI has been green on `latest` since 7.9.0 + shipped on 2026-08-11. Pinning 7.9.0 is the only choice with a zero behaviour delta. Pinning + 6.14.3 "for conservatism" would be an untested downgrade introduced by a change whose purpose + is to reduce variance. +2. **`update` and `packages.config` survive in 7.x.** `[DOC]` The NuGet 7.0 release notes list the + breaking changes: package-id validation during restore, removal of `project.json`, package + pruning for .NET 10, SHA-1 fingerprint errors in `sign`/`mssign`, HTTPS enforcement for service + index resources, plus SDK API removals. None touches `packages.config` or `update`. Community + PRs in the same release (`6641` "remove redundant null condition in + `UpdateCommand.ExecuteCommandAsync`", `6600` "enable nullable in `NuGetUpdateCommandTests`") + confirm the command is still present and maintained. +3. **7.x fixes MSBuild discovery bugs that this design depends on.** The workflow will pass + `-MSBuildPath`. `[DOC]` NuGet 7.0 fixed "`nuget.exe` restore finding MSBuild from SSMS instead + of Visual Studio" (#6530 / #14349) and NuGet 7.9 fixed "nuget.exe restore `-MSBuildPath` crashes + when pointing it to .NET SDK directory" (#14844). Pinning below 7.9.0 reintroduces the second + of these. +4. **7.9.0 introduces nothing that threatens this path.** `[DOC]` Its breaking changes are + `SearchFilter.PackageTypes` → `PackageType`, nullable annotations in `NuGet.Protocol`, a + `monoandroid` TFM deprecation warning, and a `dotnet nuget why` output change. All are SDK/CLI + surfaces this repository does not use. +5. **Exact version, not a range.** `'7.x'` would reintroduce the float one level up. The point of + the pin is that the tool which rewrites `.csproj` and `app.config` is a known quantity for a + given commit. + +Apply the same pin in all four places: the three existing workflows and the new upgrade workflow. +Divergence between the version used to upgrade and the version used to build would make the +verifier's judgement unreliable. + +Secondary, non-blocking observation: `[DOC]` `nuget/setup-nuget@v3` exists; the repository is on +`@v2`. This is outside the scope of #911 and should not be bundled into it. + +--- + +## 8. Recommended approach + +### 8.1 The recommendation + +**Adopt the settled design (Dependabot detects, a new workflow performs the upgrade), with four +amendments forced by the findings above.** The design survives, but its justification changes and +two of its steps must be re-specified. + +Why it survives even though Dependabot already runs `nuget update` (§ 1.2): running the command +ourselves is not what buys the improvement. What it buys is **control around** the command — +per-package compatibility gating with a recorded skip reason, an analyzer post-pass, a formatting +normalisation pass, a self-verify/self-repair step, and a single consolidated branch whose content +we own. None of those can be attached to a Dependabot branch, because Dependabot rebases and +force-pushes its branches and would clobber them. + +The four amendments: + +1. **Token.** Use a GitHub App installation token for the branch push and PR creation (R1). Without + it the PR's checks are created but parked behind a manual approval click on every cycle. +2. **Consume-and-close.** Add an explicit step that reads the target versions from the Dependabot + PR and closes it. "Detect-only" is not a Dependabot mode (§ 3.4). +3. **Formatting scope.** The formatting normalisation must cover `app.config` as well as + `packages.config`; `app.config` is the larger reflow surface (§ 2.2b). Decide deliberately + between (a) adding both to `.csharpierignore` and (b) running `csharpier format` as the last + post-pass. **Recommend (b)**: `.csharpierignore` entries would permanently exempt two + hand-maintained config classes from formatting, whereas running the formatter as a post-pass + keeps them in scope and guarantees `format-check` parity by construction. The `.csharpierignore` + change named in the spec's prerequisites should be dropped in favour of this. +4. **Third post-pass → verifier check.** Do not add a third post-pass for newly-added references + (R2 resolves against needing one). Add a reference-completeness assertion to the verifier + instead. + +### 8.2 Proposed workflow shape + +``` +on: schedule (weekly, offset after the Dependabot cycle) + workflow_dispatch + +permissions: contents: write, pull-requests: write + + 1. Mint App installation token + 2. Checkout origin/main at current tip; create branch deps/nuget-upgrade- + 3. Setup MSBuild; Setup NuGet 7.9.0; restore solution + 4. Discover targets: find open Dependabot PR(s); parse target {id, version} set + 5. Compatibility gate (pure): for each target, resolve candidate assets; accept only + if an asset exists that net481 can consume. netstandard2.1 excluded outright. + Record skipped packages with reasons. + 6. For each accepted target, for each manifest containing that id: + nuget update

\packages.config -Id -Version + -RepositoryPath packages -NonInteractive + -FileConflictAction Overwrite -MSBuildPath

+ 7. Post-pass A: synthesize (§ 6.3) + 8. Post-pass B: binding redirects in app.config + 9. Post-pass C: dotnet tool run csharpier format . +10. Verifier: manifest/HintPath/Import/Error/Analyzer/redirect consistency + + reference completeness. Repair freely; fail only if still inconsistent. +11. Commit, push with App token, open PR with App token + - label deps:autofixed if a repair outside classes A/B was applied + - body carries "Repairs applied" and "Packages skipped" blocks +12. Close the consumed Dependabot PR(s) +13. gh pr merge --auto --squash +``` + +Step 6 note: `-Version` applies only when exactly one `-Id` is supplied, so the loop must be +per-package. This matches Dependabot's own invocation shape (§ 1.2), which is evidence the shape +works against these projects. + +Step 5 note: the gate is asset-level, not ``-level. `net481` accepts +`net481`…`net20`, `netstandard2.0` and below. It does **not** accept `netstandard2.1`, which must +be excluded outright rather than ranked last — this is the same defect as #902 and the two must be +fixed with one shared TFM-ranking function, not two. + +### 8.3 Rejected alternatives + +- **Repair Dependabot's branch in place.** Cheapest on paper, since the `.csproj`/`app.config` + work is already done (§ 1.1). Rejected: Dependabot rebases and force-pushes its branches, which + destroys the repairs; and a `GITHUB_TOKEN` push to the branch produces no `synchronize` run + (§ 3.1), so the red checks would never be re-evaluated. +- **`workflow_dispatch` against `ci.yml` for the bot branch.** Rejected on documentation that is + specific and directly on point: `workflow_dispatch` is not in the event allow-list for check + evaluation (§ 3.2). This was the design's stated fallback and it does not work. +- **`workflow_run` chaining.** Rejected for the same reason — not in the allow-list. +- **Deploy key + widened `push` filter on `ci.yml`.** Rejected: requires the same one-time human + setup as the App token while additionally producing two runs of each required check name on the + same SHA, one of which stays parked. +- **`pull_request_target` on `ci.yml`.** Rejected: a security regression for a convenience gain, + and `[DOC]` GitHub is shipping a default protection restricting `pull_request_target` from + 2026-11-02. +- **Drop Dependabot and discover versions from the NuGet V3 API directly.** Attractive because it + removes the red-PR consumption step entirely. Rejected for this change: it would require + reimplementing the eight semver-major ignore rules and the security-advisory awareness that + Dependabot provides. Worth revisiting if the consume-and-close step proves unreliable. + +--- + +## 9. Behaviour semantics + +### 9.1 Success conditions + +- Exactly one Dependabot PR exists per cycle, and it is closed by the end of the upgrade run. +- Exactly one upgrade PR is opened per cycle, on a branch cut from the then-current `origin/main`. +- All five required checks are **created under the `pull_request` event** on the upgrade PR's head + SHA and reach `success` without human edits. +- Every accepted package is at its target version in every manifest that contains it, and the + `.csproj` ``, ``, ``/``, and `` items and + the `app.config` `` entries all name that same version. +- Every skipped package is recorded in the PR body with a machine-derived reason. + +### 9.2 Failure conditions + +- A `nuget update` invocation exits non-zero → fail the run; do not open a partial PR. +- The verifier finds a residual inconsistency after repair → fail the run. +- No Dependabot PR is found → exit success with no PR (nothing to upgrade). This must not be an + error; an empty cycle is the normal steady state. +- The App token cannot be minted → fail loudly. Falling back to `GITHUB_TOKEN` would silently + produce a PR with parked checks, which is the failure mode this design exists to avoid. + +### 9.3 Ordering rules + +1. `restore` strictly before `update` — the documentation recommends it and Dependabot does it. +2. All `update` invocations before any post-pass. Post-pass A reads `packages\` contents that only + exist after the updates complete. +3. Post-pass C (`csharpier format`) strictly last among the passes. A and B write XML; formatting + them before they are written wastes the pass. +4. Verifier strictly after C — the verifier must judge the tree that will actually be committed. +5. Branch creation immediately before push, not at checkout, to minimise the strict-policy staleness + window (§ 3.2). + +### 9.4 Edge cases + +- **A package appears in some manifests but not others.** Normal — loop per manifest, not per + solution. +- **A package is in a `.csproj` `` but not in that project's manifest** (#903, + `ToDoModel.Test` / `Deedle`, `FSharp.Core`). `nuget update` cannot touch it. The verifier must + flag orphaned HintPaths as a distinct, named condition rather than silently passing. +- **A package ships no analyzers.** Post-pass A contributes nothing for it — must not emit an + empty `` or delete the surrounding comment. +- **An analyzer package changes its Roslyn folder set across the bump.** Post-pass A must re-derive + the folder from disk, never carry the old one forward (§ 6.2). +- **`SVGControl` has no analyzers at all** `[OBS-LOCAL]`. Post-pass A must not synthesize an + `` into a project that never had one. +- **Dependabot splits despite the single group** (incompatible version constraints, § 5.3). + Consume all open Dependabot PRs, not just the first. +- **`main` advances mid-run.** Auto-merge plus a branch cut at push time; `gh pr update-branch` + with the App token as recovery. + +--- + +## 10.

Testing implications + +No test code is proposed here; this is strategy only, consistent with +`.claude/rules/powershell.md` and `.claude/rules/general-unit-test.md`. + +### 11.1 Pester unit tests — the pure cores + +The spec already commits to Pester coverage for the compatibility evaluator and the verifier. +Three pure functions should be extracted and are the natural units: + +1. **`Test-Net481AssetCompatibility`** — given a set of asset folder names, return the selected + TFM or `$null`. Scenarios: `net481` exact; `net48` fallback; `netstandard2.0` accepted; + `netstandard2.1` **rejected** (the #902 regression guard, and it must be a negative assertion, + not a ranking assertion); `net481` + `netstandard2.1` both present, `net481` chosen; + empty set; `netcoreapp`/`net6.0`-only set rejected. Note this function is shared with + `Sync-PackageReferences.ps1`'s `$tfmPreference`; one implementation, not two. +2. **`Get-AnalyzerAssetPath`** — given a manifest entry and an injected directory listing, + return the ordered `` path set. Scenarios must cover all four shapes observed + in § 6.2: plain `dotnet\cs`; Roslyn-versioned `dotnet\roslyn5.0\cs`; multi-assembly with + mangled names (Roslynator, 4 DLLs); bare `analyzers\` (Sonar); a package with no + `analyzers\` folder; two Roslyn folders present (highest supported chosen); `vb`/`fs` sibling + folders present and excluded; a `*.resources.dll` present and excluded. +3. **`Test-ProjectConsistency`** — given parsed `(packages.config, csproj text, app.config text)`, + return the set of inconsistencies. Scenarios: all-consistent; stale `` (the + #898 state); stale ``; stale ``/``; stale ``; + orphaned `` with no manifest entry (the #903 state); a `` missing for a + restored `lib\` asset (the R2 guard). + +The directory listing must enter these functions through an injected delegate, per +`.claude/rules/powershell.md` § Design Seams, so no test touches the filesystem. **No temporary +files** may be created — fixtures are in-memory strings and hashtables. + +### 11.2 What cannot be unit-tested, and what replaces it + +`nuget update`'s own behaviour is out of scope for unit tests (external process, network). It is +covered by the spec's integration scenario: run the upgrade workflow against a deliberately stale +manifest and confirm the required checks pass on the produced branch. Two additions to that +scenario, driven by findings here: + +- Confirm the produced PR's checks were created under the **`pull_request`** event, not + `workflow_dispatch`, and that none are in an approval-required state. This is the direct test of + R1 and it is the one that would catch a token misconfiguration. Inspect the check runs' source + workflow run event. +- Confirm `main` builds from a **cold** NuGet cache after the #898 correction. The spec already + lists this; it is the only way to observe the `CS0006` that the cache prefix fallback currently + masks. + +### 11.3 Coverage obligations + +New PowerShell modules must meet the >= 85% line threshold +(`.claude/rules/quality-tiers.md`). Branch coverage is not measurable by Pester and no branch gate +applies. The upgrade workflow YAML itself is not coverage-measurable; the feature-review rule +`modified-workflow-needs-green-run` requires a green run against the branch head before it can +merge, which is the substitute. + +### 11.4 A caution on gate credibility + +Consistent with `.claude/rules/ci-workflows.md` and prior experience in this repository: each new +gate in the verifier must be observed **failing** on a deliberately broken input before it is +trusted. A verifier that passes because its detector never fires is worse than no verifier, because +it converts a visible red build into a silent green one. In particular, the reference-completeness +check (§ 4.4) exists precisely to falsify an assumption; if it cannot be made to fail, it is not +testing anything. + +--- + +## Automation Feasibility + +Every step of the proposed design was assessed for unattended execution. Four items cannot run +unattended. + +### A1. Minting the automation credential — **requires a documented exception (one-time)** + +**Step:** create a GitHub App (or fine-grained PAT), grant Contents: write and Pull requests: write, +install it on `drmoisan/TaskMaster`, and store the App ID and private key as repository secrets. + +**Why it cannot run unattended:** secrets cannot be created by a workflow. `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot +mint a credential with a different identity, and the entire point of the credential is to have an +identity other than `GITHUB_TOKEN` so that the recursion suppression does not apply (§ 3.1). +`[OBS-LOCAL]` no secret is referenced by any workflow in this repository today, so this is genuinely +new setup, not a reuse. + +**Classification:** **requiring a documented exception.** It is one-time, performed by a repository +admin, and after it the pipeline runs unattended indefinitely (installation tokens are minted per +run and the App private key does not expire). It is not removable by scope change: every route that +produces evaluated required checks on an automation-authored PR needs either this credential or the +recurring click in A2. It is not a hard halt, because the work is a few minutes of admin action +with no ongoing obligation. + +**If it is refused:** the design degrades to A2, not to failure. + +### A2. Fallback if A1 is refused — **requires a documented exception (recurring, per PR)** + +**Step:** a repository writer clicks **Approve workflows to run** on each upgrade PR. + +**Why it cannot run unattended:** `[DOC]` when a workflow using `GITHUB_TOKEN` creates a pull +request, the resulting `pull_request` runs are created in an approval-required state, and there is +no repository setting that disables this (§ 3.1). A workflow cannot approve its own runs. + +**Classification:** **requiring a documented exception**, recurring weekly. It is materially worse +than A1 — it is a standing obligation rather than a one-time one, and an unclicked PR is +indistinguishable from a healthy quiet week — but it is not a hard halt: the checks do exist on the +correct SHA and do satisfy the ruleset once started. This corrects the brief's stated worst case, +which was that the PR would carry zero checks and be permanently unmergeable. + +### A3. Merging the upgrade PR — **removable by scope change** + +**Step:** merging the PR after the five checks pass. + +**Why it may not run unattended:** the design as written stops at "mergeable without human edits," +which a human then merges. + +**Classification:** **removable by scope change.** `gh pr merge --auto --squash` executed with the +App token would land the PR automatically once all five checks pass, and doing so also shrinks the +`strict_required_status_checks_policy` staleness window (§ 3.2). This is a policy decision — whether +dependency upgrades may land on `main` with no human in the loop — not a technical limitation. +Recommend enabling auto-merge; if the project prefers a human merge gate, the residual manual step +is one click on an already-green PR. + +### A4. The cold-cache verification of #898 — **requires a documented exception (one-time)** + +**Step:** the spec's manual verification note, "confirm `main` builds from a cold cache after the +#898 correction." + +**Why it cannot run unattended in the normal pipeline:** `[OBS-LOCAL]` the cache key in all three +build workflows is `nuget-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.config') }}` with a bare +`restore-keys: nuget-${{ runner.os }}-` prefix fallback. That fallback is what currently masks the +stale analyzer paths. A scheduled run will hit the fallback and pass whether or not #898 is fixed, +so the pipeline structurally cannot observe the condition it is meant to verify. + +**Classification:** **requiring a documented exception**, one-time. It is satisfiable unattended by +a one-off `workflow_dispatch` run of `ci.yml` performed after manually purging the Actions cache, +or by a temporary cache-key change — but a human must initiate one of those. Recording the run URL +as evidence discharges it. + +### Steps confirmed to run unattended + +Discovery of Dependabot targets, the compatibility gate, per-package `nuget update`, both +post-passes, `csharpier format`, the verifier and its repairs, branch creation and push, PR body +composition, labelling, and closing the consumed Dependabot PR — all execute inside the workflow +with no human input, given A1. + +### Explicitly eliminated, not merely unattended-incapable + +`workflow_dispatch` against `ci.yml` and `workflow_run` chaining do not fail on automation grounds; +they fail on correctness grounds. `[DOC]` Checks created by workflow runs triggered by those events +are **not evaluated** for a pull request (§ 3.2). No amount of automation makes them satisfy the +ruleset. + +--- + +## Assumptions stated explicitly + +1. **Dependabot's pinned NuGet.Client matches the source read here.** § 4.3's corroboration of R2 + assumes `dependabot-core` pins a NuGet.Client version whose `MSBuildNuGetProject` matches the + `dev` branch. Not verified. § 4.2's source reading is unaffected and applies to the version the + workflow itself pins. +2. **`windows-latest` MSBuild's Roslyn version is at least the highest `roslynNN` folder any of + these five analyzer packages ships.** Assumed in § 6.3 step 3(d). Not verified. If false, that + step needs a real version table; `build-analyzers` will surface the error. +3. **`group-by` is not a valid Dependabot group key.** Its inertness is observed (§ 5.2); its + formal invalidity is inferred from a documentation key enumeration rather than from a published + schema. Removing it is safe either way. +4. **The ruleset's required-check entries are not scoped to a specific app id.** If they were + scoped to GitHub Actions (app id 15368), the recommendation is unaffected, since all five checks + are produced by GitHub Actions in every option considered. Not verified; supplied as established + by the brief. +5. **The repository will accept a first-ever repository secret and a first-ever workflow with + `contents: write`.** `[OBS-LOCAL]` every existing workflow is `permissions: contents: read` with + no secrets. This is a governance posture change, not just a technical one. +6. **Dependabot will not split the consolidated PR.** Depends on the "incompatible version + constraints" carve-out not firing (§ 5.3). The repository is currently consistent, and the + design tolerates a split by consuming all open Dependabot PRs. + +--- + +## Appendix — file references + +| Path | Relevance | +|---|---| +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\.github\dependabot.yml` | R3 — replace per § 5.3 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\.github\workflows\ci.yml` | R1 — triggers and check-name derivation | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\.github\workflows\_build-analyzers.yml` | R5 — `nuget-version: latest` at line 33 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\.github\workflows\_build-nullable.yml` | R5 — `nuget-version: latest` at line 33 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\.github\workflows\_mstest-coverage.yml` | R5 — `nuget-version: latest` at line 33 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\.csharpierignore` | § 2.2b — no `packages.config` / `app.config` entry | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\scripts\vscode\Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` | § 2.3 — `netstandard2.1` at line 18 (#902); `\lib\`-anchored regex at line 58 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\UtilitiesCS\UtilitiesCS.csproj` | § 6.2 — all four analyzer path shapes, lines 1305-1318 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\UtilitiesCS\packages.config` | § 2.2b — CSharpier-reflowed manifest entry, lines 17-22 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\SVGControl.Test\app.config` | § 2.2b — CSharpier-reflowed `assemblyIdentity`, lines 6-10 | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\ToDoModel.Test\ToDoModel.Test.csproj` | § 2.2d — orphaned Deedle/FSharp.Core HintPaths, lines 92-96 (#903) | +| `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster\.git\info\refs` | § 1.3 — Dependabot branch names, lines 161-175 | diff --git a/docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md b/docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f64e14259 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md @@ -0,0 +1,337 @@ +# Runbook — Provision a GitHub App Installation Token for the Dependabot Repair Workflow + +Issue: 911. Feature: `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911`. + +This runbook covers a one-time setup action. Once completed, the repair workflow operates unattended +indefinitely; no recurring human step remains. + +## Cue + +Act on this runbook when the orchestrator records an `exception` response for the requirement +"GitHub App installation token available to the Dependabot repair workflow." + +The requirement is unautomatable for the following reason. A push made with the default +`GITHUB_TOKEN` does not create a new workflow run; GitHub suppresses this to prevent recursive runs. +The ruleset on `drmoisan/TaskMaster` (ruleset id 18572843) sets +`strict_required_status_checks_policy: true` and requires five check contexts. Consequently, if the +repair workflow pushes its repair commit with `GITHUB_TOKEN`, the five required checks retain their +pre-repair (failed) results against the prior head SHA, and the pull request can never become +mergeable. + +The documented fallbacks do not resolve this. GitHub's "Troubleshooting required status checks" +guidance states that checks are evaluated only when the run was triggered by `push`, +`pull_request`, `pull_request_review`, `pull_request_target`, `deployment`, or `deployment_status`. +`workflow_dispatch` is explicitly excluded, which eliminates both `workflow_dispatch` and +`workflow_run` as routes to produce satisfying check runs. + +The remaining route is to push with a credential that is not `GITHUB_TOKEN`. Creating a GitHub App, +installing it on the repository, and storing its private key as a repository secret requires +authenticated interaction with the GitHub web user interface. Secrets cannot be created by a +workflow. That interaction is the exception this runbook resolves. + +### Why a GitHub App installation token rather than a fine-grained personal access token + +Both credentials work: the recursion suppression is keyed on the token identity, so either one +causes the push to produce a new workflow run. The trade-off is stated plainly so the reader can +choose differently. + +| Property | Fine-grained personal access token | GitHub App installation token | +|---|---|---| +| Expiry | The token itself expires (maximum one year). | The per-run installation token expires in one hour and is minted fresh each run. The App private key does not expire. | +| Failure mode at expiry | Silent and delayed. The workflow stops working on a date that is not recorded anywhere, and the symptom appears only the next time an upgrade is attempted. | None on a schedule. The private key fails only if it is deliberately revoked. | +| Attribution | Acts as the human account that issued it. That account's name appears on every repair commit and pull request. | Acts as the App. Commits and pull requests carry a distinct bot identity. | +| Blast radius | Bounded by the issuing human account's permissions. | Bounded by the App's declared permissions. | +| Extra dependency | None. | Requires the `actions/create-github-app-token` action in the workflow. | + +The deciding factor is the expiry failure mode. A personal access token converts the repair workflow +into a component that stops working on an unrecorded date, and the resulting breakage is silent. +Least privilege and attribution also favour the App. A reader who accepts a calendar reminder for +token rotation, and who is willing to have repair commits attributed to a human account, may +reasonably choose the personal access token instead; in that case, grant it the same two repository +permissions listed in step 6 below and skip to step 10. + +## Prerequisites + +- An account with **admin** permission on `drmoisan/TaskMaster`, held by the repository owner. Admin + permission is required to create repository secrets and to install a GitHub App on the repository. +- Sign-in access to `https://github.com` in a web browser, with any configured two-factor + authentication method available. +- The GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and authenticated for the verification step + (`gh auth status` reports an authenticated account with access to `drmoisan/TaskMaster`). +- Local ability to read a downloaded `.pem` file as text, in order to paste its full contents into + the secret value field. +- A decision, already made, that the App will be owned by the repository owner's personal account + rather than an organization. `drmoisan/TaskMaster` is a personal-account repository, so the + personal-account navigation path applies throughout. +- The repair workflow itself is not required to exist yet. This runbook provisions the credential; + the workflow consumes it. + +## Step-by-step Instructions + +### Part A — Register the GitHub App + +1. Sign in to `https://github.com` as the repository owner. +2. Click the profile picture in the upper-right corner, then select **Settings**. +3. In the left sidebar, select **Developer settings**. +4. In the left sidebar, select **GitHub Apps**. +5. Click **New GitHub App**. +6. Complete the registration form: + - **GitHub App name** — enter a unique name, for example `taskmaster-dependabot-repair`. The name + must be unique across GitHub and is limited to 34 characters. The resulting App slug determines + the bot identity that appears on repair commits. + - **Homepage URL** — enter `https://github.com/drmoisan/TaskMaster`. A value is required; it is + not functionally significant for this use. + - **Webhook** — under the "Webhook" heading, clear the **Active** checkbox. The App does not + receive events; it is used only to mint tokens. Leaving webhooks active would require a + reachable webhook URL. +7. Scroll to **Permissions** > **Repository permissions** and set exactly these two, leaving every + other permission at **No access**: + - **Contents** — set to **Read and write**. Required to push the repair commit to the Dependabot + branch. + - **Pull requests** — set to **Read and write**. Required to update the pull request. + + Do not grant any additional permission. The installation token inherits all permissions granted + to the installation, so each extra permission directly widens the blast radius of the credential. + In particular, do not grant **Administration**, **Actions**, **Secrets**, or **Workflows**. +8. Under **Where can this GitHub App be installed?**, select **Only on this account**. +9. Click **Create GitHub App**. + +### Part B — Record the App ID and generate a private key + +10. On the App's settings page that appears after creation, locate the **App ID** in the "About" + section near the top of the page and record it. The adjacent **Client ID** is also shown; record + it as well, because the `actions/create-github-app-token` action now documents `client-id` as + the recommended input and continues to accept the legacy `app-id` input. Neither value is a + secret in the cryptographic sense, but this runbook stores the App ID as a repository secret to + keep the workflow configuration uniform. +11. On the same page, scroll to the **Private keys** section and click **Generate a private key**. + A `.pem` file downloads automatically. GitHub issues the key in PKCS#1 `RSAPrivateKey` PEM + format. This is the only opportunity to obtain this key material; GitHub does not display it + again. +12. Treat the downloaded file as a long-lived credential. Do not commit it to any repository, + including a private one, and delete the local copy once it has been stored as a repository + secret in Part D. + +### Part C — Install the App on the repository + +13. In the left sidebar of the App's settings page, click **Install App**. +14. Next to the repository owner's account, click **Install**. +15. On the installation permission prompt, select **Only select repositories**. +16. In the **Select repositories** dropdown, select `TaskMaster`. Select no other repository. +17. Review the summary of the two requested permissions and click **Install**. + +### Part D — Store the credentials as repository secrets + +18. Navigate to `https://github.com/drmoisan/TaskMaster`. +19. Click **Settings** on the repository navigation bar. +20. In the sidebar's "Security" section, select **Secrets and variables**, then **Actions**. +21. Select the **Secrets** tab, then click **New repository secret**. +22. Create the App ID secret: + - **Name** — `DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_ID` + - **Secret** — the App ID value recorded in step 10 + - Click **Add secret**. +23. Click **New repository secret** again and create the private key secret: + - **Name** — `DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` + - **Secret** — the entire contents of the downloaded `.pem` file, including the + `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----` and `-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----` lines and all line + breaks between them. Open the file in a plain-text editor and copy all of it; a partial paste + produces a key-parse failure at run time. + - Click **Add secret**. +24. Delete the downloaded `.pem` file from the local machine and from the browser's downloads + folder. + +### Part E — Consume the token in the repair workflow + +25. In the repair workflow, mint the installation token as the first step of the job and use its + output for every subsequent authenticated operation. The maintained, GitHub-published action for + this exchange is `actions/create-github-app-token`, currently at major version `v3`: + + ```yaml + - name: Mint installation token + id: app-token + uses: actions/create-github-app-token@v3 + with: + app-id: ${{ secrets.DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_ID }} + private-key: ${{ secrets.DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_PRIVATE_KEY }} + + - name: Check out the Dependabot branch + uses: actions/checkout@v4 + with: + token: ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }} + ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }} + ``` + + The action exchanges the private key for an installation access token scoped to the + installation, exposes it as `steps.app-token.outputs.token`, masks it in logs, and revokes it + when the job completes. The token expires after one hour regardless. + +26. Ensure the `actions/checkout` step and the `git push` step both use + `steps.app-token.outputs.token` rather than `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` or the default checkout + credential. If the checkout step retains the default credential, the persisted push credential + remains `GITHUB_TOKEN` and the suppression behaviour described in the Cue section reappears even + though the token was minted correctly. + +27. Pin the action by major version tag as shown, consistent with the pinning convention used by the + repository's existing workflows. + +## Verification + +Verification must positively assert that the five required check contexts exist on the new head SHA +produced by an App-token push. Confirming only that the workflow reported no error is insufficient: +a run that pushed with the wrong credential produces zero check runs on the new SHA and also reports +no error. + +Perform the following after the repair workflow has run once against a Dependabot pull request. + +1. Capture the pull request's current head SHA after the repair push. Substitute the pull request + number for ``: + + ``` + gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/pulls/ --jq '.head.sha' + ``` + + Record the returned 40-character SHA as ``. Confirm it differs from the SHA the pull + request had before the repair run. If it is unchanged, no push occurred and the remaining checks + are not meaningful. + +2. Assert that the push was made by the App identity rather than by `GITHUB_TOKEN`: + + ``` + gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/commits/ --jq '.author.login' + ``` + + Expected output is the App's bot login, which is the App slug with a `[bot]` suffix, for example: + + ``` + taskmaster-dependabot-repair[bot] + ``` + + Output of `github-actions[bot]` indicates the push used `GITHUB_TOKEN`; return to step 26 of the + instructions. + +3. Assert that exactly the five required check contexts are present on the new head SHA: + + ``` + gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/commits//check-runs --jq '[.check_runs[].name] | sort' + ``` + + Expected output, in this exact set (sorted): + + ``` + [ + "actionlint / actionlint", + "build-analyzers / Build with analyzers and code style enforcement", + "build-nullable / Build with nullable warnings treated as errors", + "format-check / Verify formatting", + "mstest-coverage / Run MSTest suite with coverage" + ] + ``` + + An empty array (`[]`) is the specific failure signature of a `GITHUB_TOKEN` push: the push + succeeded, no run was created, and the ruleset continues to evaluate the stale results on the + prior SHA. Any output other than the five names above is a failure of this verification. + +4. Assert the count independently, so that a partial set is not mistaken for success: + + ``` + gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/commits//check-runs --jq '.total_count' + ``` + + Expected output: + + ``` + 5 + ``` + +5. Assert that the runs are not parked awaiting manual approval, which is the state that the App + token is intended to avoid: + + ``` + gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/commits//check-runs --jq '[.check_runs[] | select(.status == "queued" or .status == "in_progress" or .status == "completed")] | length' + ``` + + Expected output is `5`. A value of `action_required` appearing in any run's `conclusion`, or a + status of `waiting`, indicates the run requires manual approval and that the push was not + attributed to the App. + +6. Once the runs complete, confirm the pull request reports as mergeable against the ruleset: + + ``` + gh pr checks --repo drmoisan/TaskMaster + ``` + + Expected output lists all five contexts with a `pass` result. + +Verification is complete only when steps 1 through 6 all produce the expected output in a single +pass against the same ``. + +## Security Note + +- The installation token minted by this App has **write** access to repository contents and pull + requests on `drmoisan/TaskMaster`. Any workflow step that runs after the minting step, and any + action invoked by it, executes in a job where that token is reachable. Keep the repair job minimal + and avoid invoking third-party actions in the same job after the token is minted. +- The App private key is a **long-lived credential that does not expire**. An actor who obtains it + can mint installation tokens continuously and act as the App against the repository until the key + is manually revoked. GitHub's guidance is not to hard-code the private key in any application, + including in a private repository. +- Storage as a GitHub Actions repository secret is the mechanism this runbook uses because the + consumer is a workflow in the same repository. GitHub's documentation notes that an attacker with + access to the execution environment can read a private key held in that environment, and + recommends a key vault for applications that have that option. The mitigation applied here is + least privilege: only two repository permissions are granted, and the installation is scoped to a + single repository. +- To revoke, delete the private key from the App's **Private keys** section, or uninstall the App + from the account. Either action takes effect for subsequent token minting. Revocation is manual; + no automatic expiry applies. +- Record the App name and its two secret names in the repository's operational documentation so that + a future maintainer can locate and revoke the credential without discovering it by inspection. + +## Source and Citation + +Sourcing note: the repository has no callable MCP documentation-retrieval tool at this time, so the +skill's MCP-first clause could not be satisfied for the third-party UI steps in this runbook. Every +UI and CLI step below is sourced web-second from the vendor's current published documentation, +retrieved with `WebFetch` on the capture date shown. This limitation is recorded in the +two-axis-model-selection specification's Out of Scope section and is not resolved here. + +- App registration UI navigation (steps 1–9).

It writes `packages.config`, existing ``/``, the -conditional package ``, and the package-imports `` target. It **does not** write -`` (162 occurrences across all 17 projects; those are added by `install.ps1` via -EnvDTE, and the update command never runs `install.ps1`) and it does **not** write binding -redirects (the add-binding-redirects routine is a documented no-op, closed *By Design*).

That would require reimplementing the + semver-major ignore rules and security-advisory awareness; revisit only if the repair pass proves + unreliable. +- Upgrading the setup-nuget action from v2 to v3. +- Any package upgrade itself. This change makes upgrades landable; it does not land one. -### Design summary (what changes where): +--- -### Boundaries and invariants to preserve: +## Root Cause Analysis -### Dependencies or blocked work: +Four defects, in descending order of consequence. + +- **D1 — out-of-scope project-file rewrites.** Dependabot writes ``/`` versions for + packages outside the pull request's declared group, to a version no manifest declares. Direct + cause of the build failure. Why it selects that version is an inference; the divergence and its + consequence are verified. +- **D2 — `` is never rewritten by anything.** The NuGet CLI's project system + contains no analyzer-item logic, and pull request #908 contains zero `` lines. + This is issue #898. The naive mapping `analyzers\dotnet\cs\.dll` is wrong for three of the + five analyzer families in use: Meziantou uses `dotnet\roslyn5.0\cs`, Roslynator uses + `dotnet\roslyn4.7\cs` with four mangled assembly names, and SonarAnalyzer uses a bare `analyzers` + directory. A repair must therefore enumerate the restored package on disk rather than compute the + path, and must preserve the sibling `` element that supplies the banned-symbols + list, since dropping it silently disables that analyzer. +- **D3 — formatting.** The committed form of `packages.config` and `app.config` is reflowed; + Dependabot writes both inline. `.csharpierignore` currently excludes neither. +- **D4 — fan-out.** Four groups produce four pull requests. Grouping already consolidates across + directories — #908 spans ten — so a single group yields a single pull request. The `directories` + glob is not the multiplier. + +Adjacent defects folded in so the repaired pipeline passes on its first run: #898 (15 stranded +analyzer sites), #902 (`netstandard2.1` ranked above `netstandard2.0` in the local reference-sync +script, which would reintroduce #895 on the next local build; net481 cannot consume +`netstandard2.1` at all), and #903 (`ToDoModel.Test/packages.config` omits packages for which the +project file carries `` entries). + +Execution constraint: a push made with the default Actions token does not re-trigger workflows, and +checks produced by `workflow_dispatch` or `workflow_run` runs are not evaluated against a pull +request's required-status-check policy. A self-repairing pull request therefore requires a GitHub +App installation token for the push, so that the resulting `synchronize` event re-runs the required +checks under the `pull_request` event. + +--- -### Implementation strategy (what changes, not sequencing): - -#### Files/modules to change: +## Proposed Fix -#### Functions/classes/CLI commands impacted: +### The central invariant + +> For every project, the package version recorded in `packages.config` is the single source of +> truth, and every dependent element in the sibling project file (``, ``, +> ``, ``, ``) and in `app.config` (binding redirects) must +> agree with it. + +Every gate below is verified against that sentence. A repair is any edit that moves a dependent +element into agreement with its manifest; a failure is a dependent element that still disagrees +after all repairs have run, or a manifest entry that no dependent element can be reconciled to. + +Trace of one accepted value through the invariant, using the #908 state for Meziantou.Analyzer in +one project: the manifest declares 3.0.235, so 3.0.235 is accepted as truth. The `` and +`` guards read 3.0.259 — rewritten to 3.0.235 (repair, class D1). The `` +item reads 3.0.203 — regenerated from the restored directory `packages\Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.235\` +so it reads 3.0.235 with the `dotnet\roslyn5.0\cs` segment re-derived from disk (repair, class D2). +The manifest itself is never edited by the repair. If the restored directory for 3.0.235 does not +exist, no path can be derived and the verifier throws rather than emitting a guessed path. + +### Design summary + +Dependabot remains the upgrade engine. The change is a **repair pass over Dependabot's own pull +request**, not a replacement pipeline. + +1. **Consolidation.** `.github/dependabot.yml` collapses to one catch-all group with + `applies-to: version-updates`, `open-pull-requests-limit: 1`, Deedle ignored entirely, the + pre-existing semver-major ignore entries retained unchanged, and the inert `group-by` keys + removed. +2. **Repair workflow.** `.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml` runs automatically for Dependabot + pull requests, restores packages, applies the repair passes, verifies, commits, and pushes onto + Dependabot's existing branch with a GitHub App installation token. +3. **Repair passes**, in this order, because each consumes the previous one's output: asset-level + compatibility gate; version reconciliation (D1); analyzer-item regeneration (D2); binding-redirect + reconciliation; config normalisation (D3); verification. +4. **Prerequisites** land in the same change so the verifier's first run is a clean pass. + +### Trigger mechanism and the credential + +The repair workflow must hold a credential that can push. Workflow runs triggered directly by a +Dependabot `pull_request` event receive a read-only Actions token and no access to repository +secrets, so a bare `pull_request` trigger cannot satisfy the design. The repair workflow therefore +triggers on completion of the CI workflow run for a head branch under the Dependabot branch prefix, +which executes in the base-branch context with access to secrets and write permissions. +`pull_request_target` is rejected: it is a security regression for a convenience gain, and GitHub is +restricting it by default from 2026-11-02. + +This mechanism claim is an **assumption of record**, not a measured fact in this repository: no +workflow here consumes a secret today. Acceptance criterion AC19 is written as an outcome assertion +against the fixture pull request precisely so that a wrong mechanism choice fails visibly rather +than silently producing a parked check. + +### Resolved tension: `.csharpierignore` versus a formatter post-pass + +The issue document requires both `.csharpierignore` coverage for `packages.config` and `app.config` +**and** formatting of those files in the repair pass. Those two are in tension: once a path is +ignored, the formatter will not rewrite it, so "CSharpier formatting" cannot be the mechanism that +normalises it. The research artifact recommended dropping the `.csharpierignore` change and keeping +the formatter post-pass; the issue document is authoritative and requires the ignore entries. + +Resolution adopted here, and stated explicitly so the planner does not choose silently: + +- `.csharpierignore` gains patterns for `packages.config` and `app.config`. This removes the class + of formatting failure entirely, including on cycles where the repair pass does not run. +- Because the formatter no longer defines a canonical form for those files, the repository adopts + the **inline** form — the form the NuGet CLI and Dependabot emit — as canonical, and a + deterministic, idempotent normaliser in `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` enforces it. Bot + edits then produce minimal diffs and the normaliser is a no-op on bot output. +- The one-time normalisation converts all 18 `packages.config` files and the sibling `app.config` + files to that canonical form in this change. + +This is a scope decision made by this specification, not by the issue document. It is called out in +the report accompanying this document. + +### Files and modules to change + +New PowerShell, decomposed so each file stays cohesive and under the repository line ceiling, with +every filesystem and process dependency behind an injectable seam per the PowerShell rule file +(.claude/rules/powershell.md): + +- `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` — parses `packages.config`, project files and + `app.config` into structures; renders the canonical inline form; pure over text. +- `scripts/dependencies/PackageCompatibility.psm1` — asset-level framework selection for net481. + Single implementation, shared with the local reference-sync script (this is the #902 fix). +- `scripts/dependencies/AnalyzerItemRepair.psm1` — derives the `` set from an + injected directory listing; rewrites the owning item group. +- `scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.psm1` — version reconciliation across ``, + ``, `` and ``; binding-redirect reconciliation; the verifier and its + inconsistency report. +- `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1` — composition root and command-line + entry point; emits the repairs report consumed by the pull-request body. +- `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` — consumes the shared compatibility module instead of + its own ranking array. + +Configuration and workflow changes: `.github/dependabot.yml`, the new +`.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml`, the NuGet version pin in +`.github/workflows/_build-analyzers.yml`, `.github/workflows/_build-nullable.yml` and +`.github/workflows/_mstest-coverage.yml`, documentation in `.github/workflows/README.md`, and +`.csharpierignore`. + +### Error handling and disclosure + +- A repair that cannot be derived (for example, an analyzer package whose restored directory is + absent) throws rather than emitting a guessed path. +- An incompatible package is **skipped with a recorded reason** and the remaining upgrades proceed; + a skip is never a run failure. +- The verifier repairs freely and fails only when the post-repair tree is still inconsistent, + naming the specific condition and project. +- The pull-request body gains a "Repairs applied" block and, when any package was skipped, a + "Packages skipped" block. The `deps:autofixed` label is applied when a repair outside the two + known-weak classes (analyzer items, binding redirects) was applied. + +--- -#### Data flow and validation changes: +## Assumptions, Constraints, Dependencies -#### Error handling and logging updates: +Assumptions: -#### Rollback/feature-flag considerations (if applicable): +1.

It cannot be a CI criterion: the build workflows' cache +key falls back through a bare `restore-keys:` prefix, so CI structurally cannot observe a cold-cache +failure and would report green either way. + +--- ## Acceptance Criteria -- [ ] Repro steps now produce the expected behavior in all documented environments. -- [ ] Regression test(s) added and passing (list file path and test name). -- [ ] Edge cases and invalid inputs are handled with correct errors or fallbacks. -- [ ] No unintended behavior changes outside the defined scope. -- [ ] Required logs/telemetry updated and validated (if applicable). -- [ ] Performance constraints met or explicitly waived with rationale. -- [ ] Full toolchain pass completed (format → lint → type-check → test). -- [ ] Docs/config references updated to match the new behavior. + +Evidence for every criterion is written under +docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/, in +the baseline, qa or regression subdirectory as indicated, per the evidence and timestamp +conventions skill (.claude/skills/evidence-and-timestamp-conventions/SKILL.md). + +- [ ] **AC1 — Dependabot configuration is consolidated.** `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` + parses `.github/dependabot.yml` and asserts, as separate positive assertions: exactly one + entry under `groups`; that entry declares `applies-to: version-updates` and a catch-all + pattern; `open-pull-requests-limit` equals 1; an `ignore` entry for Deedle exists with neither + a `versions` nor an `update-types` qualifier; and the set of (dependency-name, update-types) + pairs carrying `version-update:semver-major` is exactly the set present at the merge-base + commit, compared element-by-element against a literal expected set declared in the test. + Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. Fails if any ignore entry is dropped, renamed or + re-qualified, if a second group is added, or if a `group-by` key is reintroduced anywhere in + the file. + +- [ ] **AC2 — Config manifests are outside the formatting gate, proven positively.** `.csharpierignore` + contains patterns matching `packages.config` and `app.config`. Verification runs + `dotnet tool run csharpier check .` against a worktree in which one named `packages.config` + and one named `app.config` have been transiently rewritten in single-line inline form **and** a + named C# source file has been transiently perturbed; the captured output must report the + perturbed C# file and must not report the two config files. Both perturbations are reverted + after capture. Evidence: the captured command output under evidence/qa. The control proves the + check was live; without it, a silent no-op run would read as a pass. + +- [ ] **AC3 — All 18 manifests are normalised, and normalisation is idempotent.** After the one-time + normalisation, running the normaliser in `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` over the + working tree produces an empty `git diff`, and the normaliser reports having examined 18 + `packages.config` files. Evidence: the reported examined-file count and the empty diff, under + evidence/qa. Fails if the normaliser is non-idempotent, or if it examines fewer than 18 files + (which would mean the discovery glob, not the tree, is clean). + +- [ ] **AC4 — The NuGet CLI version is pinned everywhere it is selected.** A Pester assertion in + `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` enumerates every step in + `.github/workflows/` that uses the setup-nuget action, asserts the enumerated count is + greater than zero, and asserts that each such step declares a `nuget-version` that is an exact + three-part version literal. `run-actionlint` passes on the changed workflow files. Evidence: + Pester output and actionlint output under evidence/qa. Fails if any step reverts to a floating + selector, and the greater-than-zero assertion prevents a broken enumerator from passing + vacuously. + +- [ ] **AC5 — Every analyzer item agrees with its manifest (#898).** A verifier invocation over the + working tree reports zero analyzer-item version disagreements **and** reports having examined + 162 `` items across 17 project files. Evidence: the verifier report under + evidence/qa. The examined-count assertion is the non-vacuity guard: a detector that matched + nothing would report zero disagreements and zero examined, and would fail this criterion. + +- [ ] **AC6 — The cold-cache failure is observed before the fix and absent after.** Locally, on the + merge-base tree with the solution `packages` directory deleted and restore re-run, the + analyzer build command from CLAUDE.md fails with an error naming the + Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203 analyzer assembly. On the fixed tree, the same procedure from the + same cold state succeeds. Both logs are captured, the failing one under evidence/baseline and + the passing one under evidence/qa. This criterion is deliberately local: the CI cache + `restore-keys:` prefix fallback prevents CI from reaching the failing state. + +- [ ] **AC7 — The incompatible framework is excluded, not ranked (#902).** + `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageCompatibility.Tests.ps1` asserts positively that the + selector returns `net481` when it is present; returns `net48` when `net481` is absent; returns + `netstandard2.0` when offered `netstandard2.1` and `netstandard2.0` together; and returns no + selection when offered only `netstandard2.1`, or only a .NET-Core-era framework, or an empty + set. `tests/scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.Tests.ps1` asserts that + `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` resolves the same selection through the shared + module and declares no framework ordering of its own. Evidence: Pester output under + evidence/qa. Fails if the framework is merely demoted, because the "offered only + netstandard2.1" case then returns a selection. + +- [ ] **AC8 — Orphaned hint paths are eliminated and detectable (#903).** The verifier reports zero + orphaned `` entries for `ToDoModel.Test/ToDoModel.Test.csproj` after + `ToDoModel.Test/packages.config` gains the missing manifest entries, and a unit test in + `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` asserts the same detector reports a + non-empty orphan set for an in-memory fixture reproducing the pre-fix pair. Both directions are + asserted in the same suite. Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC9 — The compatibility gate is asset-level.** `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageCompatibility.Tests.ps1` + asserts the gate decides from the asset folders a candidate package actually ships, not from a + declared framework attribute: given an asset set containing only frameworks net481 cannot + consume, the gate returns a rejection carrying a reason string; given a set containing a + consumable asset, it returns an acceptance naming the selected asset folder. Evidence: Pester + output under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC10 — An incompatible package is skipped and the remaining upgrades proceed.** A test in + `tests/scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.Tests.ps1` drives the entry point + over an in-memory fixture with two candidate upgrades, one incompatible. It asserts all three + of: the incompatible package's manifest version is unchanged; the compatible package's manifest + version is the target version; and the returned report contains a skip record naming the + incompatible package and a non-empty reason. Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. A + fail-fast implementation fails the second assertion. + +- [ ] **AC11 — Version reconciliation covers all four dependent element kinds (D1).** + `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` asserts, with one assertion per + element kind, that given a manifest version and project text in which ``, ``, + `` and `` each name a different version, the reconciled text has each of + those four elements naming the manifest version. Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. + Per-kind assertions make a reconciler that handles only two kinds fail rather than pass on an + aggregate. + +- [ ] **AC12 — Analyzer items are regenerated by enumerating the restored directory (D2).** + `tests/scripts/dependencies/AnalyzerItemRepair.Tests.ps1` supplies an injected directory + listing and asserts the derived path set for each of the four shapes observed in this + repository: a plain language-folder shape; a Roslyn-qualified shape; a multi-assembly shape + whose assembly names do not match the package id; and a shape with no intermediate folders. It + further asserts that a listing offering two Roslyn-qualified folders selects the higher; that + non-C-sharp language folders and satellite resource assemblies are excluded; and that a package + whose listing contains no analyzer directory contributes no items. Evidence: Pester output + under evidence/qa. Fails for any implementation that computes the path from the package id. + +- [ ] **AC13 — Sibling elements in the analyzer item group survive regeneration.** The same suite + asserts that after regeneration the item group still contains the `` element + naming the banned-symbols list and the explanatory comment that precedes the items, and that a + project fixture with no analyzer item group at all — the SVGControl shape — is returned + byte-identical with no item group synthesised. Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC14 — Binding redirects are reconciled to the resolved assembly version.** + `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` asserts that for an `app.config` + fixture whose redirect names an older assembly version than the one resolved from the manifest, + the reconciled text names the resolved version in both the upper bound of `oldVersion` and in + `newVersion`; and that an `app.config` with no redirect for that assembly is returned + unchanged. Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC15 — The repair pass leaves a formatting-stable tree.** Running the repair entry point a + second time over its own output produces an empty `git diff`, and + `dotnet tool run csharpier check .` reports no findings on the post-repair tree. Evidence: the + empty diff and the formatter output under evidence/qa. Fails on a non-idempotent normaliser or + renderer. + +- [ ] **AC16 — The verifier repairs freely and fails only on residual inconsistency.** + `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` asserts both directions against the + entry point: a fixture whose every divergence is repairable returns a success result whose + report enumerates the repairs performed; a fixture carrying a divergence no repair can resolve + returns a failure result naming that condition and the project. Evidence: Pester output under + evidence/qa. The failing direction is the criterion that proves the verifier is not a + pass-through. + +- [ ] **AC17 — The repair workflow exists and is statically valid.** + `.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml` is present, passes `run-actionlint`, declares the + write permissions it needs, and restricts its work to head branches under the Dependabot + branch prefix. A Pester assertion in `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` + asserts the branch restriction is present and that the workflow does not use + `pull_request_target`. Evidence: actionlint and Pester output under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC18 — The repair commit is pushed under the GitHub App identity.** On the fixture Dependabot + pull request, the head commit after the repair run is authored by the App installation identity + and not by the default Actions identity, read from the commits API for that pull request. + Evidence: the captured API response under evidence/qa. Fails if the workflow falls back to the + default token, which is the failure mode AC19 would otherwise diagnose only indirectly. + +- [ ] **AC19 — The required checks re-run and pass on the post-repair head SHA.** On the fixture + Dependabot pull request, for every check named as required by the repository ruleset, a check + run exists on the post-repair head SHA, its originating workflow run has event `pull_request`, + its conclusion is success, and no run is in an approval-required state. Evidence: the captured + check-runs API response, including the originating run event for each, under evidence/qa. This + is the outcome assertion that falsifies a wrong trigger or credential choice; a parked or + `workflow_run`-sourced check fails it. + +- [ ] **AC20 — Disclosure is present and conditional.** On the fixture Dependabot pull request, the + body contains a "Repairs applied" block enumerating the repairs by project, and a "Packages + skipped" block whenever the run recorded a skip. The `deps:autofixed` label is present on a run + that applied a repair outside the analyzer-item and binding-redirect classes, and absent on a + run that applied only those two classes. Both label states are exercised and captured. + Evidence: the captured pull-request body and label state for both runs, under evidence/qa. The + absent-label case prevents an implementation that always labels from passing. + +- [ ] **AC21 — The #908 three-way divergence is reproduced as a fixture and resolved.** + `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` carries an in-memory fixture in which + one project's manifest declares 3.0.235, its `` and `` name 3.0.259, and its + `` names 3.0.203. The test asserts the verifier reports a disagreement for + the guard elements and a disagreement for the analyzer item before repair, and that after + repair all three locations name 3.0.235. Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC22 — The AC21 regression test is observed failing before the fix.** The AC21 test is + executed against the tree before the reconciliation and analyzer-repair modules are wired in, + and the captured run shows it failing; the same test is then captured passing on the delivered + tree. Evidence: the failing run under evidence/baseline and the passing run under + evidence/regression. A test that cannot be shown failing is not admitted. + +- [ ] **AC23 — Reference completeness is asserted and demonstrably detectable.** The verifier asserts + that for each package in a manifest, a `` with a matching `` exists for + each consumable library asset resolved for that package, and + `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` asserts the detector reports a + missing reference for a fixture from which one such element has been removed. Evidence: Pester + output under evidence/qa. This check exists to falsify the assumption that the NuGet CLI adds + references for newly introduced assemblies; if it cannot be made to fail, it tests nothing. + +- [ ] **AC24 — PowerShell toolchain and coverage.** The PowerShell toolchain passes in order + (format, analyze, test) with no findings, and line coverage for each new module under + `scripts/dependencies/` is at least 90 percent, with no coverage regression on changed lines in + `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1`. Evidence: the formatter, analyzer and Pester + coverage reports under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC25 — C# toolchain passes on the delivered tree.** The four CLAUDE.md commands run in order + — formatter check, analyzer build, nullable build, test run with coverage — and all pass in a + single final pass, with the analyzer and nullable builds proven non-vacuous by the absence of a + skipped compile target in their logs. Evidence: the captured logs under evidence/qa. + +- [ ] **AC26 — Documentation matches the delivered behaviour.** `.github/workflows/README.md` + documents the repair workflow, its trigger, its credential requirement, and the pinned NuGet + CLI version, and a Pester assertion in `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` + asserts the pinned version literal recorded in the README equals the literal declared in the + workflow files. Evidence: Pester output under evidence/qa. Fails when the pin is bumped in one + place only. + +--- + +## Write Set + +Files this change creates, modifies or deletes.

From 32594c3cb770145143955cde0ac0e29e1bb18ca5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Moisan Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 10:57:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 03/33] docs(911): add the atomic plan and the cold-restore failing control Adds a ten-phase plan covering the prerequisite corrections, the Sync-PackageReferences ranking fix, the Dependabot consolidation and the repair-pass components. Records the pre-fix red run proving origin/main does not build from a cold restore: CS0006 on Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203, a version no manifest declares. Also records that the pester job is scoped to tests/scripts/vscode and would not execute this change's tests until its paths are widened.

Do not mark evidence-backed work complete without the artifact. +## Execution Environment (binding for every task in this plan) +**Execution worktree.** Every repository-relative path in this plan resolves against +`C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\dependabot-911`. That is the working directory for every +command. It is **not** the session worktree the plan was authored from; a relative path resolved +from the session worktree silently edits a different checkout of the same tracked file. Before +running any other task, P0-T1 records the resolved worktree root and every later task inherits it. -**Phase 0 — Context & Inputs** -- [ ] [P0-T1] Link approved spec: -- [ ] [P0-T2] Record branch/commit baseline: -- [ ] [P0-T3] List required environment/fixtures/data: +**Branch.** `bug/dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911`, cut from `origin/main` at +`734112ed2`. -**Phase 1 — Preparation** -- [ ] [P1-T1] Confirm scope is locked for this fix (no open spec gaps) -- [ ] [P1-T2] Sync workspace to target branch and ensure tooling is available +**Authoritative plan file.** The plan of record is +`C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\docs\features\active\2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911\plan.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. +The execution worktree carries a file at the same repository-relative path, but at the merge-base +that file is still the 45-line promotion template committed before planning began. The executor must +be handed the absolute session-worktree path above and must read the plan from it. P0-T23 replaces +the execution-worktree copy with byte-identical content so the branch ships the real plan, and until +that task runs the repository-relative path inside `TaskMaster-wt\dependabot-911` resolves to the +template. -**Phase 2 — Regression Test (must fail first)** -- [ ] [P2-T1] [expect-fail] Add a small, deterministic regression test in the standard module file (use `tests/bugs//#911-.py` only if no clear home exists) -- [ ] [P2-T2] [expect-fail] Run the regression to confirm it fails and captures the repro +**Diff anchor.** Every diff, merge-base, footprint and scope check in this plan anchors to +`origin/main`, never to bare `main`.

The three-dot form `PINNED...HEAD` is +**prohibited** as a substitute: when the pinned ref is an ancestor of HEAD it degenerates to the +two-dot diff and inherits the same defect. P0-T3 resolves and records +`MERGE_BASE = git merge-base origin/main HEAD` once; later tasks cite that recorded value. -**Phase 3 — Minimal Fix** -- [ ] [P3-T1] Apply the smallest change needed to make the regression test pass; avoid opportunistic refactors +**Evidence location (non-overridable).** All evidence resolves under +`docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence//` +with `` drawn from `baseline`, `qa-gates`, `regression-testing`, `issue-updates`, `other`. -**Phase 4 — Verification Loop** -- [ ] [P4-T1] Re-run repro and regression test to confirm expected behavior -- [ ] [P4-T2] Run formatter → linter → type checker → tests; restart loop if any step changes files or fails -- [ ] [P4-T3] Record baseline, post-change, and comparison artifact paths for each in-scope language where coverage is required +EVIDENCE_LOCATION_OVERRIDE_REJECTED: evidence/qa replaced with evidence/qa-gates +EVIDENCE_LOCATION_OVERRIDE_REJECTED: evidence/regression replaced with evidence/regression-testing -**Phase 5 — Documentation & Status** -- [ ] [P5-T1] Update spec/issue with outcomes, decisions, and any deviations from scope +`spec.md` names `evidence/qa` and `evidence/regression`.

A planned +command task must execute its stated command; `EXIT_CODE: SKIPPED` is not a passing outcome. The one +exception in this plan is Phase 8, whose task text explicitly carries an approved deferral branch for +the three criteria that depend on a credential this change may not yet have. + +--- + +## Scope Decisions Recorded by This Plan + +1. **`.github/workflows/_pester.yml` is added to the change footprint.** `spec.md` does not list it. + It must change, because `_pester.yml` hard-codes `Run.Path = 'tests/scripts/vscode'` and + `CodeCoverage.Path = 'scripts/vscode'` (verified at `.github/workflows/_pester.yml` lines 41 and + 45). Every test file this change creates lives under `tests/scripts/dependencies/`, so without + this edit the new suite never executes in CI and the `pester` check reports green while measuring + nothing. P1-T1 amends the spec `## Write Set` to carry the path; P1-T13 makes the edit. +2. **The canonical form of `packages.config` and `app.config` is inline.** Per the orchestrator + decision and `spec.md` section "Resolved tension". `.csharpierignore` gains the two patterns + (P1-T2) **before** the one-time normalisation runs (P1-T7), because a normalisation performed + while the formatter still owns those paths is undone by the next format step and makes AC3 + unsatisfiable. No standalone normaliser component is planned: the renderer lives in + `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` and the repair pass's own writer emits canonical form by + construction. +3. **The repair workflow triggers on `workflow_run` in base context.** `pull_request` is unusable (a + Dependabot-triggered run receives a read-only token and no Actions secrets) and + `pull_request_target` is rejected on security grounds. This is an assumption of record. AC19 is + written as an outcome assertion so a wrong mechanism fails visibly on the fixture pull request. +4. **PowerShell batch splitting.** The change introduces 6 production and 7 test PowerShell files + against a per-batch cap of 3 and 3 (`.claude/rules/powershell.md` section "Change Budget", + enforced by `.claude/hooks/enforce-powershell-batch-budget.ps1`, `$ProdCap = 3` / `$TestCap = 3`). + The plan therefore runs four batches, each closed by its own full toolchain pass and its own + commit. The batch-boundary task at the end of each close-out phase resets the hook's per-session + state file. That reset is the hook's own documented mechanism for beginning a new batch and is + authorised here **only** at a declared boundary whose prior batch has already passed its gates and + landed as a commit. It is not authorised anywhere else in this plan, and raising + `CLAUDE_POWERSHELL_BUDGET_PROD` or `CLAUDE_POWERSHELL_BUDGET_TEST` is not authorised at all. + + | Batch | Phase | Production PowerShell | Test PowerShell | + |---|---|---|---| + | A | 1 | `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` | `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1` | + | B | 3 | `scripts/dependencies/PackageCompatibility.psm1`, `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` | `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageCompatibility.Tests.ps1`, `tests/scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.Tests.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` | + | C | 5 | `scripts/dependencies/AnalyzerItemRepair.psm1`, `scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.psm1` | `tests/scripts/dependencies/AnalyzerItemRepair.Tests.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` | + | D | 7 | `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1` | `tests/scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.Tests.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` (extended) | + + Every batch leaves the solution buildable.

The following rules are binding. + +1. **Every verification task states its failing condition and that condition is reachable from where + the check runs.** A task whose failing condition is unreachable is a defect, not a pass. +2. **No "nothing is wrong" check.** An empty result set must never satisfy an acceptance condition. + Every absence assertion is paired with a positive assertion naming an explicit expected count or + member set, so that a detector which never fires is distinguishable from a clean tree. +3. **Cold-cache verification is local only.** The build workflows' cache `restore-keys:` prefix + fallback structurally prevents CI from reaching a cold-cache failure. AC6 is never rooted in CI. +4. **`Invoke-Pester` sets no process exit code by default.** `New-PesterConfiguration` defaults + `Run.Exit` to `$false`, so a bare `pwsh -Command` Pester run exits 0 whatever the tests do. Every + Pester command in this plan ends with an explicit + `if ($r.FailedCount -gt 0) { exit 1 } else { exit 0 }` placed **after** the count-emitting + statement, so the counts are printed before the exit. +5. **`pwsh -Command` payloads use outer single quotes and inner double quotes.** The reverse lets the + calling shell expand `$c`, `$r` and `$(...)` before pwsh parses the script, which produces an + empty measurement that reads as a tool failure. +6. **`dotnet tool run csharpier format .` prints `Formatted N files in Xms.` and + `dotnet tool run csharpier check .` prints `Checked N files in Xms.` — in both cases `N` is the + scanned count, not a rewrite count.** A restart-on-rewrite rule therefore defines "rewritten" as + the number of target files whose `Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256` differs between a capture taken + immediately before and immediately after the invocation. `Formatted N files` must never be used + as that count. +7. **MSBuild non-vacuity is asserted on the echoed compiler command line, not on `Task "Csc"`.** + MSBuild echoes the full `csc.exe` command line under each project's `CoreCompile` heading at + normal verbosity, and that line carries `/out:obj\Debug\.dll`. `Task "Csc"` is a + detailed-verbosity event and can never be attributed to a named project on one line. +8. **Every diff gate is anchored to a ref and is paired with a staging or porcelain companion.** An + anchored `git diff --name-only` enumerates tracked changes only and can never report a file a task + creates; `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` goes empty once the change is committed. + The two are complementary and each alone is wrong in one state. +9. **Phase 0 porcelain is non-empty by construction.** Never assert an empty + `git status --porcelain` in Phase 0. Assert a type condition instead: no `.cs`, `.csproj`, + `.sln`, `packages.config` or `app.config` path appears among the untracked or modified entries. + +--- + +## Command Reference + +Referenced by task text.

Acceptance: seven files are listed, in that order, each with a non-zero line count. + +- [ ] [P0-T3] Pin the diff anchor: run `git fetch origin main`, then `git merge-base origin/main HEAD`, then `git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main`, and record all three in `evidence/baseline/p0-t3-diff-anchor.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records a 40-character `MERGE_BASE`, the ancestor check returns `EXIT_CODE: 0`, and the artifact states in prose that every later diff gate cites this value and that the three-dot `PINNED...HEAD` form is prohibited. Fails when `origin/main` is unfetchable or when the recorded merge-base is not an ancestor of `origin/main`. + +- [ ] [P0-T4] Record the PowerShell batch-budget state: list `.claude/state/` and record whether a `powershell-batch-budget.*.json` file exists for the current session, together with its `prodFiles` and `testFiles` arrays when present, into `evidence/baseline/p0-t4-batch-budget-state.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

Fails when only the legacy 3.4.0 module shipped with Windows PowerShell is present, which has no `New-PesterConfiguration` and no JaCoCo output format. + +- [ ] [P0-T10] Record the cold-cache precondition census into `evidence/baseline/p0-t10-cold-state-census.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: the existence of `packages/Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.235` and the non-existence of `packages/Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203`, each recorded as an explicit boolean, plus the full sorted list of directory names under `packages/` matching `Meziantou.Analyzer.*`. Acceptance: the `3.0.235` directory exists, the `3.0.203` directory does not, and the recorded match list has exactly one member. The positive member-count assertion is the non-vacuity guard: a census that enumerated nothing would also report the `3.0.203` directory absent. + +- [ ] [P0-T11] [expect-fail] Capture the AC6 failing direction on the merge-base tree: run CMD-MSBUILD-ANALYZERS and write `evidence/baseline/p0-t11-ac6-cold-analyzer-build-red.2026-09-19T09-44.md` carrying `Timestamp:`, `Command:`, `EXIT_CODE:`, `ExpectedExitCode: 1`, `Output Summary:`, and the verbatim diagnostic lines. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE:` is non-zero **and** the captured log carries at least one line containing both `CS0006` and `Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203`, and the artifact records the count of such lines as an integer greater than zero. The failing condition is reachable and already measured once in `evidence/regression-testing/898-cold-restore-red-run.2026-09-19T11-40.md`. If the build instead exits 0, the task is **not** complete: record the observation, do not tick AC6, and report `AC6 BASELINE NOT REPRODUCED` for planner re-scope rather than waiving the criterion. + +- [ ] [P0-T12] Capture the nullable-build baseline by running CMD-MSBUILD-NULLABLE and writing `evidence/baseline/p0-t12-nullable-build.2026-09-19T09-44.md` with `EXIT_CODE:` recorded as returned and `ExpectedExitCode: 1`. Acceptance: the artifact exists with all four schema fields and the `Output Summary:` names the first error text verbatim. This baseline is expected red for the same cause as P0-T11; no exit-0 demand is placed on it, because a red baseline would otherwise make a sibling exit-0 demand unsatisfiable. + +- [ ] [P0-T13] Capture the formatter baseline by running CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK and writing `evidence/baseline/p0-t13-csharpier-check.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records `EXIT_CODE:` as returned plus the verbatim `Checked N files in Xms.` line with `N` recorded as an integer, and the full list of any files reported with findings. Fails when no `Checked ` line is present, which would mean the command did not run. + +- [ ] [P0-T14] Capture the C# test baseline by running CMD-MSTEST-COVERAGE and writing `evidence/baseline/p0-t14-mstest-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records `EXIT_CODE:` as returned and an `Output Summary:` that either carries the numeric line-coverage and branch-coverage percentages the runner printed, or, when the run could not produce them, names the blocking diagnostic verbatim and states `coverage unmeasurable at merge-base; cause: `. Because the analyzer build is red at merge-base for defect #898, the numeric C# coverage baseline used for the no-regression comparison is captured instead at P2-T7, which is the first point in the plan at which the solution compiles; the artifact must name P2-T7 as its numeric successor. + +- [ ] [P0-T15] Capture the PowerShell formatter baseline: record `Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256` for every `.ps1`, `.psm1` and `.psd1` file under `scripts/vscode` and `tests/scripts/vscode`, run CMD-POSHQC-FORMAT, re-record the hashes, and write both sets plus the hash-difference count to `evidence/baseline/p0-t15-poshqc-format.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact carries both hash sets, an integer rewrite count derived from the hash difference, `MCP Result: ok:true`, and the verbatim `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- scripts/vscode tests/scripts/vscode` output taken immediately after the run. That recorded diff is the authoritative list of pre-existing formatting drift and is the only set later tasks may exclude from a changed-line audit. + +- [ ] [P0-T16] Capture the PowerShell analyzer baseline by running CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and writing `evidence/baseline/p0-t16-poshqc-analyze.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records `MCP Result: ok:true`, the integer finding count, and the full finding list when the count is non-zero. Fails when `scan_folders` was not supplied explicitly, which the artifact must show by quoting the exact argument value passed. + +- [ ] [P0-T17] Capture the Pester baseline by running CMD-PESTER-ALL with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/baseline/p0-t17-pester-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml` and writing `evidence/baseline/p0-t17-pester.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records the verbatim `PESTER Passed=... Failed=... Skipped=... Total=...` line with `Total` greater than zero, the aggregate JaCoCo LINE percentage as a number with two decimals, and an explicit note that `tests/scripts/dependencies` currently contains no test file so its contribution is zero. Fails when `Total=0`, which would mean the run discovered nothing. + +- [ ] [P0-T18] Record the analyzer-item census into `evidence/baseline/p0-t18-analyzer-census.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: the total count of lines matching `Analyzer Include=` across `*.csproj`, the per-file breakdown, the count of files matching `Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203` and the per-file match count for each. Acceptance: the total is exactly 162 across exactly 17 files; the stale count is exactly 15 files with exactly 1 match each; and the artifact records that `TaskMaster/TaskMaster.csproj:575` already names `3.0.235` and is therefore not one of the 15. Fails when any of the three counts differs, which would mean the tree moved since plan authoring and the #898 edit set must be re-derived before P1-T9 runs. + +- [ ] [P0-T19] Record the manifest census into `evidence/baseline/p0-t19-manifest-census.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: the count of `**/packages.config` files, the count of `*/app.config` files, and, for `ToDoModel.Test/ToDoModel.Test.csproj`, the verbatim `` lines naming `Deedle` and `FSharp.Core` with their line numbers, paired with the count of matches for `Deedle` and `FSharp.Core` in `ToDoModel.Test/packages.config`. Acceptance: 18 manifests, 17 `app.config` files, exactly 2 orphan `` lines recorded with their line numbers, and exactly 0 manifest matches. The paired positive count on the project file is the non-vacuity guard for the zero on the manifest. + +- [ ] [P0-T20] Record the formatting-scope and NuGet-selector census into `evidence/baseline/p0-t20-format-and-nuget-census.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: the full verbatim contents of `.csharpierignore` with its line count, the count of lines in `.csharpierignore` matching `packages.config` or `app.config`, and every `.github/workflows/*.yml` line matching `nuget-version` or `setup-nuget` with file and line number. Acceptance: the `.csharpierignore` match count is exactly 0; exactly 3 `nuget-version: latest` lines are recorded, at `_mstest-coverage.yml:49`, `_build-nullable.yml:33` and `_build-analyzers.yml:33`; and exactly 3 `nuget/setup-nuget@v2` step lines are recorded. The three positive counts guard the zero. + +- [ ] [P0-T21] Record the Dependabot configuration census into `evidence/baseline/p0-t21-dependabot-census.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: the count of group keys under `groups:`, the count of `group-by:` lines, the value of `open-pull-requests-limit`, the ordered list of `dependency-name` values carrying `version-update:semver-major`, and the count of ignore entries naming `Deedle`. Acceptance: 4 groups, 4 `group-by:` lines, limit `10`, exactly the 8 names `Microsoft.Extensions.*`, `Microsoft.Bcl.*`, `System.Text.Json`, `System.Drawing.Common`, `Microsoft.Graph*`, `Apache.Arrow*`, `Microsoft.Data.Analysis`, `Microsoft.ML*` in file order, and 0 Deedle entries. This recorded 8-member list is the literal expected set that `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` declares for AC1. + +- [ ] [P0-T22] Record the CI Pester-scope census into `evidence/baseline/p0-t22-pester-scope-census.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: the verbatim `Run.Path` and `CodeCoverage.Path` assignment lines from `.github/workflows/_pester.yml` with their line numbers, and the verbatim job list from `.github/workflows/ci.yml`. Acceptance: `Run.Path` is recorded as `'tests/scripts/vscode'` at line 41, `CodeCoverage.Path` as `'scripts/vscode'` at line 45, and exactly 6 jobs are recorded from `ci.yml` including `pester`. This artifact is the evidence for the Scope Decision 1 amendment made by P1-T1. + +- [ ] [P0-T23] Replace the stale plan copy in the execution worktree: overwrite `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/plan.2026-09-19T09-44.md` inside `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\dependabot-911` with the byte-identical contents of the authoritative copy at `C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15\docs\features\active\2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911\plan.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, and record both files' SHA-256 hashes in `evidence/other/p0-t23-plan-sync.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the two recorded hashes are equal; the execution-worktree copy contains exactly 123 lines matching the task pattern and exactly 10 lines beginning `### Phase `; and `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/plan.2026-09-19T09-44.md` reports the file modified. The stale copy is the 45-line promotion template committed at the merge-base; leaving it in place would ship a template as the branch's plan of record and would mislead any later reader who opens the repo-relative path rather than the session path. + +- [ ] [P0-T24] Commit the Phase 0 evidence with an explicit pathspec limited to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/` and record the resulting head SHA in `evidence/baseline/p0-t23-commit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` is captured verbatim and no entry in it matches `*.cs`, `*.csproj`, `*.sln`, `packages.config` or `app.config`; the recorded head SHA differs from the value P0-T1 recorded. An empty porcelain is not asserted here, because Phase 0 artifacts and the generated `coverage/` logs make it non-empty by construction. + +### Phase 1 — Batch A: Formatting Scope, Analyzer Realignment, Manifest Completeness and the NuGet Pin + +- [ ] [P1-T1] Amend `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/spec.md` section `## Write Set`, subsection "Configuration and workflows", to add a backticked entry for `.github/workflows/_pester.yml`, and add one sentence naming the reason recorded in Scope Decision 1 and citing P0-T22 as its evidence. Acceptance: the spec `## Write Set` contains exactly one backticked `.github/workflows/_pester.yml` entry; no acceptance-criterion line is added, removed or reworded; `git diff origin/main -- docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/spec.md` shows changes confined to the Write Set section and its adjacent note. Evidence: `evidence/other/p1-t1-spec-write-set-amendment.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T2] Add the two patterns `**/packages.config` and `**/app.config` to `.csharpierignore`, each preceded by a one-line comment giving the reason (the repository adopts the inline form these files are written in by the NuGet CLI, so the formatter no longer owns them). Acceptance: `.csharpierignore` contains a line whose text is exactly `**/packages.config` and a line whose text is exactly `**/app.config`; the file's other 14 lines are unchanged, verified by `git diff origin/main -- .csharpierignore` showing only additions. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t2-csharpierignore.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T3] Verify AC2 with a live control in `UtilitiesCS/`: transiently rewrite `UtilitiesCS/packages.config` so every `` element sits on one line, transiently rewrite `UtilitiesCS/app.config` so every `` element sits on one line, and transiently perturb `UtilitiesCS/Extensions/EnumExtensions.cs` by inserting four consecutive blank lines inside the type body; then run CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK and capture the full output; then revert all three files with `git checkout -- UtilitiesCS/packages.config UtilitiesCS/app.config UtilitiesCS/Extensions/EnumExtensions.cs`. Acceptance: the captured output names `UtilitiesCS/Extensions/EnumExtensions.cs` and names neither `UtilitiesCS/packages.config` nor `UtilitiesCS/app.config`; the post-revert `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- UtilitiesCS` is empty. The C# perturbation is the control that proves the check was live; without it a silent no-op run would read as a pass. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t3-ac2-format-scope-control.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. This task checks off **AC2**. + +- [ ] [P1-T4] Create `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` providing advanced functions with `CmdletBinding()` for: discovering manifest paths from an injected directory-listing delegate; parsing `packages.config` text into ordered package records; parsing project-file text into the dependent-element records ``, ``, ``, `` and ``; parsing `app.config` text into binding-redirect records; and rendering the canonical inline form of a manifest and of an `app.config`. Every function is pure over text except the discovery function, whose only I/O is the injected delegate. Acceptance: the module imports without error; `Get-Command -Module PackageGraph` lists every exported function named in the module's own comment-based help; the file is at most 500 lines. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t4-packagegraph-module.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T5] Create `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1` covering, with one `It` per behaviour and Arrange-Act-Assert structure: manifest parsing of a reflowed multi-line entry and of an inline entry yielding identical records; rendering a parsed manifest to inline form; rendering being byte-identical when applied twice to its own output; project-file parsing of each of the five dependent element kinds; `app.config` parsing of a binding redirect; and rejection of malformed input with an explicit `throw`. All fixtures are in-memory strings; no temporary file is created. Acceptance: the file is at most 500 lines and contains no call to `New-TemporaryFile`, `[System.IO.Path]::GetTempPath`, `$env:TEMP` or `Out-File`. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t5-packagegraph-tests-authored.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T6] Run the PackageGraph suite with CMD-PESTER-ALL restricted to `$c.Run.Path = @("tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1")` and `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p1-t6-packagegraph-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, the recorded `Failed=0`, `Total` greater than or equal to 8, and the JaCoCo `sourcefile` entry named `PackageGraph.psm1` reports a LINE percentage of at least 90. Fails when `Total=0`, which would mean discovery found no test. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t6-packagegraph-run.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T7] Run the one-time normalisation over the working tree using the renderer in `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1`, rewriting all 18 `packages.config` files and all 17 `app.config` files to canonical inline form, and record the per-file before and after SHA-256 hashes plus the count of files whose hash changed. Acceptance: exactly 35 files are examined, the examined count is emitted by the normaliser itself as an integer, and `git diff --name-only origin/main -- "*/packages.config" "*/app.config"` lists only files drawn from that 35-member set, with `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- "*/packages.config" "*/app.config"` captured in the same task as the companion that observes any path the name-listing diff cannot see. This task must run after P1-T2, because a normalisation performed while the formatter still owns those paths is reverted by the next format step. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t7-normalisation.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T8] Verify AC3: re-run the normaliser over the already-normalised tree, then capture `git diff -- "*/packages.config" "*/app.config"` and `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- "*/packages.config" "*/app.config"`. Acceptance: the second run reports having examined exactly 18 `packages.config` files as an integer emitted by the normaliser, the captured `git diff` output is empty, and the captured porcelain output is empty. The examined-count assertion is the non-vacuity guard: a discovery glob that matched nothing would also produce an empty diff. The porcelain span is the companion required because a name-listing diff cannot observe an untracked path. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t8-ac3-normaliser-idempotence.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. This task checks off **AC3**. + +- [ ] [P1-T9] Correct issue #898 by rewriting the single stale `` line in each of the 15 project files listed in the spec `## Write Set` subsection "Project files carrying a stranded analyzer item (#898)" so that the package folder segment reads `Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.235`, leaving the rest of each path — including the `analyzers\dotnet\roslyn5.0\cs` segment — byte-identical. Acceptance: `git diff --numstat origin/main -- "*.csproj"` reports exactly 15 files with exactly 1 added and 1 removed line each; `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- "*.csproj"` lists those same 15 paths. Fails when any file shows a different line count, which would mean an unintended edit. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t9-898-analyzer-realignment.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T10] Record the post-#898 analyzer census into `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t10-analyzer-census-post-fix.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: the count of `Analyzer Include=` lines across `*.csproj`, the count of files matching `Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203`, and the count of files matching `Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.235` in an `` line. Acceptance: the total remains exactly 162 across exactly 17 files; the `3.0.203` count is exactly 0; the `3.0.235` analyzer-item count is exactly 16 files, being the 15 corrected plus `TaskMaster/TaskMaster.csproj`. The two positive counts guard the zero. + +- [ ] [P1-T11] Correct issue #903 by adding to `ToDoModel.Test/packages.config` the two entries `Deedle` version `3.0.0` and `FSharp.Core` version `11.0.100`, each with `targetFramework="net481"`, placed in the file's existing alphabetical position and written in the canonical inline form P1-T7 established. Acceptance: `git diff --numstat origin/main -- ToDoModel.Test/packages.config` reports added lines and no removed lines beyond those the normalisation already accounted for; a grep of `ToDoModel.Test/packages.config` for `Deedle` returns exactly 1 match and for `FSharp.Core` returns exactly 1 match; the versions match the `` folder segments recorded at `ToDoModel.Test/ToDoModel.Test.csproj:93` and `:96`. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t11-903-manifest-entries.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T12] Pin the NuGet CLI to the exact three-part version `7.9.0` at `.github/workflows/_build-analyzers.yml:33`, `.github/workflows/_build-nullable.yml:33` and `.github/workflows/_mstest-coverage.yml:49`, replacing `nuget-version: latest`, and add a one-comment rationale at each site naming the reason (the tool that rewrites `.csproj` and `app.config` during an upgrade must be a known quantity for a given commit, and `7.9.0` is what `latest` resolved to, so the pin freezes current behaviour rather than changing it). Acceptance: the count of lines matching `nuget-version: latest` across `.github/workflows/` is exactly 0 and the count of lines matching `nuget-version: '7.9.0'` is exactly 3. The positive count of 3 guards the zero. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t12-nuget-pin.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T13] Extend `.github/workflows/_pester.yml` so `Run.Path` is the two-member array `tests/scripts/dependencies` and `tests/scripts/vscode`, and `CodeCoverage.Path` is the two-member array `scripts/dependencies` and `scripts/vscode`, leaving the 80 percent line gate at line 71 and the artifact upload unchanged. Acceptance: the file's `Run.Path` and `CodeCoverage.Path` assignments each name both members; CMD-ACTIONLINT returns `EXIT_CODE: 0`; and the file contains exactly one `Invoke-Pester` invocation. Fails when either array is left single-valued, which would leave the new suite unexecuted in CI. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t13-pester-workflow-scope.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P1-T14] Verify the AC6 passing direction from the same cold state: delete the `packages/` directory, re-run `pwsh -NoProfile -File .\scripts\vscode\Invoke-Restore.ps1`, confirm `packages/Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.235` exists and `packages/Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203` does not, then run CMD-MSBUILD-ANALYZERS. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; the captured log carries exactly 0 lines containing `CS0006`; and the captured log carries at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\`, with the exact count recorded. The `/out:` count is the non-vacuity guard required because a build that compiled nothing would also report zero `CS0006` lines. Evidence: the passing log under `evidence/qa-gates/p1-t14-ac6-cold-analyzer-build-green.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, paired with the failing log P0-T11 wrote under `evidence/baseline/`. This criterion is deliberately local; the CI cache `restore-keys:` prefix fallback prevents CI from reaching the failing state. This task checks off **AC6**. + +### Phase 2 — Batch A Close-Out: Toolchain Gates, Commit and Budget Boundary + +- [ ] [P2-T1] Run CMD-POSHQC-FORMAT over the four `scan_folders` and record the before and after SHA-256 hash sets for every `.ps1`, `.psm1` and `.psd1` under `scripts/dependencies` and `tests/scripts/dependencies` into `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t1-poshqc-format.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true`, both hash sets recorded, and the integer rewrite count recorded as the hash-difference count. When the rewrite count is greater than zero the phase restarts from P2-T1 after the rewritten files are re-read. `Formatted N files` must not be used as the rewrite count. + +- [ ] [P2-T2] Run CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t2-poshqc-analyze.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true` and the integer finding count is exactly 0, with the artifact quoting the exact `scan_folders` argument value passed so an unscoped run is distinguishable from a clean one. + +- [ ] [P2-T3] Run CMD-PESTER-ALL with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p2-t3-pester-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml` and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t3-pester.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, `Failed=0`, `Total` greater than the `Total` P0-T17 recorded, the aggregate JaCoCo LINE percentage recorded to two decimals and at least 85, and the `sourcefile` LINE percentage for `PackageGraph.psm1` recorded and at least 90. + +- [ ] [P2-T4] Run CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t4-csharpier-check.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, the verbatim `Checked N files in Xms.` line recorded with `N` as an integer, and zero files reported with findings. Fails when any normalised `packages.config` or `app.config` is reported, which would mean the `.csharpierignore` patterns added by P1-T2 do not match. + +- [ ] [P2-T5] Run CMD-MSBUILD-ANALYZERS and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t5-msbuild-analyzers.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, exactly 0 lines containing `CS0006` in `coverage/analyzers.msbuild.log`, and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` with the exact count recorded. The `/out:` count is the non-vacuity observation; a warm `/t:Build` that skipped every compile would report zero errors and zero such lines. + +- [ ] [P2-T6] Run CMD-MSBUILD-NULLABLE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t6-msbuild-nullable.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0` and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` in `coverage/nullable.msbuild.log`, with the exact count recorded. + +- [ ] [P2-T7] Run CMD-MSTEST-COVERAGE and record the result in `evidence/baseline/p2-t7-mstest-numeric-baseline.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; the artifact records the numeric line-coverage percentage and the numeric branch-coverage percentage printed by the runner, together with the passed, failed and skipped counts; and the artifact states that it is the numeric C# coverage baseline for the no-regression comparison, superseding the unmeasurable attempt recorded at P0-T14, and names the cause (the merge-base tree did not compile because of defect #898). Fails when either percentage is absent, because the no-regression comparison at P9-T9 reads both. + +- [ ] [P2-T8] Commit batch A with explicit pathspecs covering `.csharpierignore`, `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1`, the 15 `*.csproj` files, `ToDoModel.Test/packages.config`, the 18 `*/packages.config` and 17 `*/app.config` files, `.github/workflows/_build-analyzers.yml`, `.github/workflows/_build-nullable.yml`, `.github/workflows/_mstest-coverage.yml`, `.github/workflows/_pester.yml`, `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/`, and record the head SHA in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t8-commit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` is captured verbatim and contains no entry outside `coverage/`; `git show --name-only --format= HEAD` lists only paths from that pathspec set; the head SHA differs from the value P0-T24 recorded. + +- [ ] [P2-T9] Close batch A at the budget boundary: record the current contents of `.claude/state/powershell-batch-budget..json`, then delete that file, then confirm it is absent, writing all three observations to `evidence/other/p2-t9-batch-a-boundary.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the recorded pre-reset `prodFiles` array contains exactly `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` and the `testFiles` array contains exactly `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1`; the post-reset check reports the file absent. Preconditions, both of which the artifact must record as satisfied: P2-T2 through P2-T7 all returned `EXIT_CODE: 0`, and P2-T8 produced a commit. The reset is authorised only at this declared boundary; raising `CLAUDE_POWERSHELL_BUDGET_PROD` or `CLAUDE_POWERSHELL_BUDGET_TEST` is not authorised anywhere in this plan. + +### Phase 3 — Batch B: Framework Compatibility, Reference-Sync Rewrite and Dependabot Consolidation + +- [ ] [P3-T1] Create `scripts/dependencies/PackageCompatibility.psm1` providing an asset-level compatibility gate for `net481`: it decides from the asset folder names a candidate package actually ships, never from a declared framework attribute; it excludes `netstandard2.1` outright rather than ranking it last, because `net481` cannot consume it at any position; it returns an acceptance record naming the selected asset folder, or a rejection record carrying a non-empty reason string. Acceptance: the module imports without error, exports the selector and the gate as advanced functions with `CmdletBinding()`, contains no literal `netstandard2.1` inside any ordered preference collection, and is at most 500 lines.

The AC21 case asserts that before repair the verifier reports a disagreement for the guard elements and a separate disagreement for the analyzer item, and that after repair all three locations name `3.0.235`.

Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 1`; the recorded `Failed` count is at least 1 and `Total` is at least 1; and the artifact enumerates the failing `It` names together with their verbatim failure messages. The `Total` at least 1 clause is the non-vacuity guard: a filter that matched no test would also produce zero passes.

A repair that cannot be derived throws rather than emitting a guessed path. Acceptance: the module imports without error, exports the verifier and its report function, and the file is at most 500 lines. When the file exceeds 500 lines the remedy is to move pure parsing or rendering helpers into `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` per Scope Decision 5, which consumes no additional batch slot.

The fixture set must include a project carrying two separate analyzer item groups, because `VBFunctions.Test/VBFunctions.Test.csproj` has that shape at lines 263-265 and 287-294 and a single-group assumption would silently drop one.

This task checks off **AC22**. + +- [ ] [P5-T19] Audit the line count of every file this batch created or modified — `scripts/dependencies/AnalyzerItemRepair.psm1`, `scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.psm1`, `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/AnalyzerItemRepair.Tests.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.Tests.ps1` — and record each count in `evidence/qa-gates/p5-t19-file-size-audit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: exactly 5 files are listed with an integer line count each and every count is at most 500. The exactly-5 clause guards against an enumerator that listed nothing. + +### Phase 6 — Batch C Close-Out: Toolchain Gates, Commit and Budget Boundary + +- [ ] [P6-T1] Run CMD-POSHQC-FORMAT over the four `scan_folders` with before and after SHA-256 hash sets recorded into `evidence/qa-gates/p6-t1-poshqc-format.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true`, both hash sets recorded, the rewrite count recorded as the hash-difference count. A non-zero rewrite count restarts the phase from P6-T1. + +- [ ] [P6-T2] Run CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p6-t2-poshqc-analyze.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, `Failed=0`, aggregate JaCoCo LINE percentage at least 85, and the `sourcefile` LINE percentage for each of `AnalyzerItemRepair.psm1` and `ProjectConsistency.psm1` recorded and at least 90. + +- [ ] [P6-T4] Assert that batch C changed no C# compilation input: capture `git diff --name-only -- .` and `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` into `evidence/qa-gates/p6-t4-csharp-input-invariance.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

Acceptance: `git show --name-only --format= HEAD` lists only paths from that set; `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` contains no entry outside `coverage/`; the head SHA differs from the value P4-T7 recorded. + +- [ ] [P6-T7] Close batch C at the budget boundary: record `.claude/state/powershell-batch-budget..json`, delete it, confirm absence, and write all three observations to `evidence/other/p6-t7-batch-c-boundary.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the recorded pre-reset `prodFiles` array has exactly 3 members and `testFiles` exactly 2; the post-reset check reports the file absent; the artifact records that P6-T2 through P6-T5 all passed and that P6-T6 produced a commit. + +### Phase 7 — Batch D: Composition Root, Repair Workflow and Documentation + +- [ ] [P7-T1] Create `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1` as the composition root and command-line entry point: it wires the four modules in the order asset-level compatibility gate, version reconciliation, analyzer-item regeneration, binding-redirect reconciliation, config normalisation, verification; it skips an incompatible package with a recorded reason and proceeds with the remaining upgrades, never failing the run on a skip; and it emits the repairs report consumed by the pull-request body, with a "Packages skipped" section present only when a skip was recorded. Acceptance: the script declares `[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)]`, imports all four modules from `scripts/dependencies/`, is at most 500 lines, and runs to completion with `-WhatIf` against the working tree producing no file modification, verified by an empty `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` capture taken after the `-WhatIf` run. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t1-composition-root.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P7-T2] Create `tests/scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.Tests.ps1` driving the entry point over an in-memory fixture with two candidate upgrades, one incompatible, asserting all three of: the incompatible package's manifest version is unchanged; the compatible package's manifest version is the target version; and the returned report contains a skip record naming the incompatible package together with a non-empty reason. Acceptance: the file is at most 500 lines, contains exactly 3 `It` blocks for that scenario, and creates no temporary file. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t2-repair-tests-authored.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P7-T3] Run the AC10 cases with CMD-PESTER-ALL restricted to `$c.Run.Path = @("tests/scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.Tests.ps1")` and `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p7-t3-ac10-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, `Failed=0`, `Total=3`, and all three named assertions pass. A fail-fast implementation fails the second assertion, which is the one that proves the remaining upgrades proceeded. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t3-ac10-skip-and-proceed.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. This task checks off **AC10**. + +- [ ] [P7-T4] Run the verifier from `scripts/dependencies/ProjectConsistency.psm1` over the working tree and record its analyzer-item report in `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t4-ac5-analyzer-verifier.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the report states exactly 0 analyzer-item version disagreements **and** states having examined exactly 162 `` items across exactly 17 project files. The examined-count assertion is the non-vacuity guard: a detector that matched nothing would report zero disagreements and zero examined, and would fail this criterion. This task checks off **AC5**. + +- [ ] [P7-T5] Run `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1` over the working tree, then run it a second time over its own output, then capture `git diff origin/main -- "*/packages.config" "*/app.config" "*.csproj"`, `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all`, and CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK. Acceptance: the second run produces no change, evidenced by the `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` capture taken between the two runs being byte-identical to the one taken after the second run; CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK reports `EXIT_CODE: 0` with zero files reported with findings; and the repairs report from the second run records exactly 0 repairs applied while recording a non-zero count of elements examined. The examined count guards the zero-repairs figure. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t5-ac15-repair-idempotence.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. This task checks off **AC15**. + +- [ ] [P7-T6] Create `.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml`: triggered by `workflow_run` on completion of the CI workflow, restricted to head branches under the Dependabot branch prefix, declaring `permissions: contents: write` and `pull-requests: write`, minting an installation token with `actions/create-github-app-token@v3` from the secrets `DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_ID` and `DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`, checking out with that token, setting up MSBuild and NuGet pinned to `7.9.0`, restoring, running `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1`, committing, pushing onto the Dependabot branch with the same token, updating the pull-request body with the "Repairs applied" block and, when a skip was recorded, the "Packages skipped" block, and applying the `deps:autofixed` label when a repair outside the analyzer-item and binding-redirect classes was applied. Acceptance: the file exists; it contains exactly 0 occurrences of `pull_request_target`; it contains exactly 1 `workflow_run` trigger and at least 1 branch-prefix restriction expression; and it declares both write permissions. The positive counts guard the zero. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t6-repair-workflow.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P7-T7] Extend `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` with the AC17 assertions against `.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml` — the branch restriction is present and `pull_request_target` is absent — then run CMD-ACTIONLINT and run that suite with CMD-PESTER-ALL restricted to that test file, with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p7-t7-ac17-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml`. Acceptance: CMD-ACTIONLINT returns `EXIT_CODE: 0` and records a linted-file count of at least 10; the Pester run returns `EXIT_CODE: 0` with `Failed=0`; and the suite's recorded assertion for the branch restriction is a positive match on a named expression, not merely an absence check. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t7-ac17-workflow-static-validity.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. This task checks off **AC17**. + +- [ ] [P7-T8] Update `.github/workflows/README.md` to document the repair workflow, its `workflow_run` trigger, its credential requirement including the two secret names and a pointer to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md`, the degraded mode that applies when the credential is absent (the repair push produces a `pull_request` `synchronize` run that parks awaiting a human approval click), and the pinned NuGet CLI version literal `7.9.0`. Acceptance: the README contains the literal `7.9.0` exactly once in the NuGet-pin section; it names both secret names; and it names the degraded mode explicitly. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t8-workflow-readme.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P7-T9] Extend `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` with the AC26 assertion that the pinned NuGet version literal recorded in `.github/workflows/README.md` equals the literal declared in the workflow files, then run that suite with CMD-PESTER-ALL restricted to that test file and `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p7-t9-ac26-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, `Failed=0`, and the test records both the README literal and the set of workflow literals it compared, with the workflow set having exactly 3 members. The criterion fails when the pin is bumped in one place only, which the equality comparison over a non-empty set makes reachable. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t9-ac26-documentation-pin.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. This task checks off **AC26**. + +- [ ] [P7-T10] Audit the line count of every file this batch created or modified — `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.Tests.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1` — and record each count in `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t10-file-size-audit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: exactly 3 files are listed with an integer line count each and every count is at most 500. + +- [ ] [P7-T11] Commit batch D with explicit pathspecs covering `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.Tests.ps1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/DependabotConfig.Tests.ps1`, `.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml`, `.github/workflows/README.md`, `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/`, and record the head SHA in `evidence/qa-gates/p7-t11-commit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `git show --name-only --format= HEAD` lists only paths from that set; `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` contains no entry outside `coverage/`; the head SHA differs from the value P6-T6 recorded. + +### Phase 8 — Live-Credential Acceptance and Deferred-Verification Dossier + +The three criteria in this phase depend on a GitHub App installation token that a repository admin +must provision by hand, following +`docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md`. +Per the orchestrator decision, no task in this plan blocks on that credential: the change must be +shippable and verifiable before it exists. Each task below therefore carries an explicitly authorised +two-branch outcome, and both branches are binary and observable. A criterion is checked off only on +the live branch; the deferred branch leaves it unchecked and records why. + +- [ ] [P8-T1] Measure credential and fixture availability: run `gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/actions/secrets --jq '[.secrets[].name] | sort'` and `gh api "repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/pulls?state=open" --jq '[.pull_requests?] | length'` together with `gh pr list --repo drmoisan/TaskMaster --author app/dependabot --json number,headRefName`, and write `evidence/other/p8-t1-credential-availability.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records the full sorted secret-name list as returned, an explicit boolean for whether both `DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_ID` and `DEPENDABOT_REPAIR_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` are present, and the list of open Dependabot pull requests with their numbers. When the secret list is empty the artifact must say so explicitly rather than omitting the field, because an omitted field is indistinguishable from a failed query. + +- [ ] [P8-T2] Discharge AC18 against `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p8-t2-ac18-repair-identity.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Live branch, taken when P8-T1 recorded both secrets present and at least one open Dependabot pull request: after the repair run, capture `gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/pulls/ --jq '.head.sha'` and `gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/commits/ --jq '.author.login'`; acceptance is that the recorded head SHA differs from the pre-repair SHA and the recorded login ends with `[bot]` and is not `github-actions[bot]`, and AC18 is checked off. Deferred branch, taken otherwise and explicitly authorised here: the artifact records `DEFERRED: credential or fixture absent`, quotes the P8-T1 measurement that established it, names the runbook, and states that AC18 remains unchecked. In both branches the artifact carries `Timestamp:`, `Command:`, `EXIT_CODE:` and `Output Summary:`. + +- [ ] [P8-T3] Discharge AC19 against `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p8-t3-ac19-required-checks.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Live branch: capture `gh api repos/drmoisan/TaskMaster/commits//check-runs --jq '[.check_runs[] | {name, status, conclusion}] | sort_by(.name)'` and, for each check run, the originating workflow run's `event` field; acceptance is that for every check named required by repository ruleset 18572843 a check run exists on the post-repair head SHA, its originating run event is `pull_request`, its conclusion is `success`, no run carries `action_required` or a `waiting` status, and the recorded required-check count is exactly 5 — and AC19 is checked off. The count and the per-run event field together are what falsify a wrong trigger or credential choice: a `workflow_run`-sourced or parked check fails the criterion, and an empty check-run array fails the count. Deferred branch, explicitly authorised here: the artifact records `DEFERRED: credential or fixture absent`, quotes the P8-T1 measurement, and states that AC19 remains unchecked. + +- [ ] [P8-T4] Discharge AC20 against `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p8-t4-ac20-disclosure.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Live branch: capture the pull-request body and label state for two runs — one that applied a repair outside the analyzer-item and binding-redirect classes, and one that applied only those two classes; acceptance is that both bodies carry a "Repairs applied" block enumerating repairs by project, that a "Packages skipped" block is present on exactly those runs that recorded a skip, that `deps:autofixed` is present on the first run and absent on the second, and that both label states are captured — and AC20 is checked off. The absent-label case is what prevents an implementation that always labels from passing. Deferred branch, explicitly authorised here: the artifact records `DEFERRED: credential or fixture absent`, quotes the P8-T1 measurement, and states that AC20 remains unchecked. + +- [ ] [P8-T5] File a follow-up GitHub issue carrying any criterion left unchecked by P8-T2, P8-T3 or P8-T4, titled to name issue #911 and the three criteria, with a body that quotes the P8-T1 measurement, names the runbook at `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md`, and lists the exact verification commands from those three tasks; then mirror it to `evidence/issue-updates/p8-t5-followup-issue.2026-09-19T09-44.md` with `PostedAs:` and the issue URL. Acceptance: when at least one criterion is deferred, the mirror records a created issue number and URL; when all three were discharged live, the mirror records `SearchScope:`, `SearchPatterns:` and `SearchResult: none` together with the statement that no follow-up was required, so the absence claim is auditable rather than asserted. + +- [ ] [P8-T6] Commit the Phase 8 evidence with an explicit pathspec limited to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/` and record the head SHA in `evidence/qa-gates/p8-t6-commit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `git show --name-only --format= HEAD` lists only paths under that folder; `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` contains no entry outside `coverage/`; the head SHA differs from the value P7-T11 recorded. + +### Phase 9 — Final QA Loop, Acceptance Check-Off and Close-Out + +The four PowerShell steps and the four C# steps below run in order. If any step fails, or if any step +changes a tracked file, the loop restarts from P9-T1. `EXIT_CODE: SKIPPED` is not a passing outcome +for any task in this phase. + +- [ ] [P9-T1] PowerShell QA step 1 — run CMD-POSHQC-FORMAT over the four `scan_folders` with before and after SHA-256 hash sets recorded into `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t1-poshqc-format.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true`, both hash sets recorded, and the hash-difference rewrite count recorded as an integer equal to 0. A non-zero count restarts the loop and the next iteration's artifact carries the suffix `iter2`, so an artifact is never overwritten by a same-minute rerun. + +- [ ] [P9-T2] PowerShell QA step 2 — run CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t2-poshqc-analyze.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true`, the integer finding count is exactly 0, and the artifact quotes the exact `scan_folders` argument value so an unscoped run is distinguishable from a clean one. + +- [ ] [P9-T3] PowerShell QA step 3 — run CMD-PESTER-ALL with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p9-t3-pester-coverage.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.xml` and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t3-pester.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; `Failed=0`; the aggregate JaCoCo LINE percentage recorded to two decimals and at least 85; the `sourcefile` LINE percentage recorded and at least 90 for each of `PackageGraph.psm1`, `PackageCompatibility.psm1`, `AnalyzerItemRepair.psm1`, `ProjectConsistency.psm1` and `Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1`; the `sourcefile` LINE percentage for `Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` recorded and strictly greater than its P0-T17 baseline value; and the artifact states explicitly that Pester emits no branch counter in any output format, so the branch threshold is unevaluable for PowerShell and no branch figure is claimed. This task checks off **AC24**, together with the format and analyze results from P9-T1 and P9-T2 which the artifact must cite by path. + +- [ ] [P9-T4] C# QA step 1 — run CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t4-csharpier-check.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, the verbatim `Checked N files in Xms.` line recorded with `N` as an integer greater than 900, and zero files reported with findings. + +- [ ] [P9-T5] C# QA step 2 — run CMD-MSBUILD-ANALYZERS and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t5-msbuild-analyzers.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; exactly 0 lines containing `CS0006` in `coverage/analyzers.msbuild.log`; and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` with the exact count recorded. The `/out:` count is the non-vacuity observation required by AC25, because a build whose compile targets were skipped would also report zero errors. + +- [ ] [P9-T6] C# QA step 3 — run CMD-MSBUILD-NULLABLE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t6-msbuild-nullable.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0` and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` in `coverage/nullable.msbuild.log`, with the exact count recorded. + +- [ ] [P9-T7] C# QA step 4 — run CMD-MSTEST-COVERAGE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t7-mstest-coverage.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; the artifact records the numeric line-coverage and branch-coverage percentages the runner printed, together with passed, failed and skipped counts; and the failed count is 0 with the passed count greater than zero. + +- [ ] [P9-T8] Record the AC25 single-pass attestation in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t8-ac25-csharp-toolchain.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, citing the four artifacts from P9-T4 through P9-T7 by path and recording their four `EXIT_CODE` values and their four timestamps. Acceptance: all four exit codes are 0; the four timestamps are strictly increasing, proving they ran in order within one pass; and the analyzer and nullable non-vacuity counts recorded at P9-T5 and P9-T6 are both at least 18. If any of the four artifacts belongs to an earlier loop iteration, the attestation fails and the loop restarts from P9-T1. This task checks off **AC25**. + +- [ ] [P9-T9] Record the coverage reconciliation in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t9-coverage-reconciliation.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: for C#, the numeric baseline from `evidence/baseline/p2-t7-mstest-numeric-baseline.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, the post-change values from P9-T7, and the delta for each of line and branch; for PowerShell, the aggregate baseline from `evidence/baseline/p0-t17-pester.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, the post-change aggregate from P9-T3, and the per-new-module figures. Acceptance: every figure is a number, not a placeholder; the C# line and branch deltas are each greater than or equal to 0, which is the no-regression condition and is meaningful because this change modifies no `.cs` file; the PowerShell aggregate is at least 85; every new module is at least 90; and the artifact states that no branch figure exists for PowerShell and names the tooling reason. + +- [ ] [P9-T10] Audit file size across the change footprint: for every path listed in the spec `## Write Set` under "Production PowerShell" and "Tests", record the line count, and record it also for `.github/workflows/dependabot-repair.yml` and `.github/workflows/_pester.yml`, into `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t10-file-size-audit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: exactly 15 files are listed with an integer line count each and every count is at most 500. Markdown documentation under the feature folder is exempt from the 500-line cap per `.claude/rules/general-code-change.md` and is deliberately not in this list. + +- [ ] [P9-T11] Sweep the acceptance criteria in `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/spec.md`: tick each of AC1 through AC26 whose discharging task recorded a passing outcome, leave unticked each criterion a Phase 8 deferred branch left open, and append a status summary listing every criterion with its discharging task ID and its evidence artifact path. Acceptance: exactly 26 criteria are listed in the summary; every ticked criterion cites an evidence artifact that exists on disk; every unticked criterion names the P8-T5 follow-up issue; and no criterion text is reworded. Evidence: `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t11-ac-status-summary.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + +- [ ] [P9-T12] Verify the change footprint against the spec `## Write Set`: capture `git diff --name-only -- .` using the value P0-T3 recorded, and `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all`, into `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t12-change-footprint.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

Removes unreachable ok:true acceptances against sixteen pre-existing analyzer findings, replaces the unreachable eighty-five percent coverage floor at batch A close-out with a no-regression assertion against the measured baseline of 83.93 percent, and replaces an actionlint file count the command never prints with an independent enumeration. Splits ProjectConsistency into reconciliation and verification modules to stay under the five hundred line ceiling and to separate the mutator from the inspector concern. 128 tasks across ten phases.

Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true`, both hash sets recorded, and the integer rewrite count recorded as the hash-difference count. When the rewrite count is greater than zero the phase restarts from P2-T1 after the rewritten files are re-read. `Formatted N files` must not be used as the rewrite count. +- [ ] [P2-T1] Run CMD-POSHQC-FORMAT over the four `scan_folders`, then run CMD-REVERT-OUT-OF-SCOPE-FORMAT, recording into `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t1-poshqc-format.2026-09-19T09-44.md` the before and after SHA-256 hash sets for every `.ps1`, `.psm1` and `.psd1` under the four folders, the pre-revert and post-revert `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- scripts/vscode` captures, and the exact `scan_folders` argument value. Acceptance: both hash sets recorded; the integer rewrite count recorded as the hash-difference count computed **after** the revert, excluding `scripts/vscode/Invoke-MSTest.ps1` and `scripts/vscode/Invoke-MSTestWithCoverage.ps1`; and the post-revert capture listing neither of those two paths. When that rewrite count is greater than zero the phase restarts from P2-T1 after the rewritten files are re-read. `Formatted N files` must not be used as the rewrite count, and `MCP Result: ok:true` is not asserted. -- [ ] [P2-T2] Run CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t2-poshqc-analyze.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true` and the integer finding count is exactly 0, with the artifact quoting the exact `scan_folders` argument value passed so an unscoped run is distinguishable from a clean one. +- [ ] [P2-T2] Run CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t2-poshqc-analyze.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records the exact `scan_folders` argument value passed, the integer total finding count, and the full finding list as `(file path, rule name, line)` tuples; the finding count for files this change has created or modified as of this task — enumerated explicitly as `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` and `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1` — is exactly 0; and every remaining finding is a member of the 16-tuple baseline set P0-T17 recorded, compared element by element. A finding outside that baseline subset in a file this change did not touch is a failure, because it means the change perturbed an unrelated file. `MCP Result: ok:true` is not asserted and is expected to be `false` while the 16 pre-existing findings remain. -- [ ] [P2-T3] Run CMD-PESTER-ALL with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p2-t3-pester-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml` and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t3-pester.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, `Failed=0`, `Total` greater than the `Total` P0-T17 recorded, the aggregate JaCoCo LINE percentage recorded to two decimals and at least 85, and the `sourcefile` LINE percentage for `PackageGraph.psm1` recorded and at least 90. +- [ ] [P2-T3] Run CMD-PESTER-ALL with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p2-t3-pester-coverage.2026-09-19T09-44.xml` and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t3-pester.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; `Failed=0`; `Total` greater than the `Total` P0-T18 recorded; the `sourcefile` LINE percentage for `PackageGraph.psm1` recorded and at least 90; and the aggregate JaCoCo LINE percentage recorded to two decimals and greater than or equal to the aggregate P0-T18 recorded. The absolute 85 percent floor is deliberately **not** asserted at this task: it is measured-unreachable at Batch A close-out, because `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` still contributes 0 covered of 84 lines and is not rewritten until P3-T4, and the merge-base aggregate is 83.93 percent. The absolute floor is asserted from P4-T3 onward, at which point that file carries its own suite. The no-regression comparison against the recorded baseline is the gate here, and it is falsifiable: a new module below 90 drags the aggregate down. - [ ] [P2-T4] Run CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t4-csharpier-check.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, the verbatim `Checked N files in Xms.` line recorded with `N` as an integer, and zero files reported with findings. Fails when any normalised `packages.config` or `app.config` is reported, which would mean the `.csharpierignore` patterns added by P1-T2 do not match. -- [ ] [P2-T5] Run CMD-MSBUILD-ANALYZERS and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t5-msbuild-analyzers.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, exactly 0 lines containing `CS0006` in `coverage/analyzers.msbuild.log`, and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` with the exact count recorded.

Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0` and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` in `coverage/nullable.msbuild.log`, with the exact count recorded. +- [ ] [P2-T6] Satisfy CMD-OUTLOOK, run CMD-MSBUILD-NULLABLE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t6-msbuild-nullable.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, `OUTLOOK-CLOSED: true` recorded, and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` in `coverage/nullable.msbuild.log`, with the exact count recorded. -- [ ] [P2-T7] Run CMD-MSTEST-COVERAGE and record the result in `evidence/baseline/p2-t7-mstest-numeric-baseline.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; the artifact records the numeric line-coverage percentage and the numeric branch-coverage percentage printed by the runner, together with the passed, failed and skipped counts; and the artifact states that it is the numeric C# coverage baseline for the no-regression comparison, superseding the unmeasurable attempt recorded at P0-T14, and names the cause (the merge-base tree did not compile because of defect #898). Fails when either percentage is absent, because the no-regression comparison at P9-T9 reads both. +- [ ] [P2-T7] Run CMD-MSTEST-COVERAGE and record the result in `evidence/baseline/p2-t7-mstest-numeric-baseline.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; the artifact records the numeric line-coverage percentage and the numeric branch-coverage percentage printed by the runner, together with the passed, failed and skipped counts; and the artifact states that it is the numeric C# coverage baseline for the no-regression comparison, superseding the unmeasurable attempt recorded at P0-T14, and names the cause (the merge-base tree did not compile because of defect #898). The values measured at preflight were line `0.820056` and branch `0.782406` against the runner's own floors of 0.80 and 0.75; the artifact must record how close each is to its floor, because those margins are what make an unrelated regression visible at P9-T9. Fails when either percentage is absent, because the no-regression comparison at P9-T9 reads both. -- [ ] [P2-T8] Commit batch A with explicit pathspecs covering `.csharpierignore`, `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1`, `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1`, the 15 `*.csproj` files, `ToDoModel.Test/packages.config`, the 18 `*/packages.config` and 17 `*/app.config` files, `.github/workflows/_build-analyzers.yml`, `.github/workflows/_build-nullable.yml`, `.github/workflows/_mstest-coverage.yml`, `.github/workflows/_pester.yml`, `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/`, and record the head SHA in `evidence/qa-gates/p2-t8-commit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

In both branches the artifact carries `Timestamp:`, `Command:`, `EXIT_CODE:` and `Output Summary:`. -- [ ] [P8-T5] File a follow-up GitHub issue carrying any criterion left unchecked by P8-T2, P8-T3 or P8-T4, titled to name issue #911 and the three criteria, with a body that quotes the P8-T1 measurement, names the runbook at `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md`, and lists the exact verification commands from those three tasks; then mirror it to `evidence/issue-updates/p8-t5-followup-issue.2026-09-19T09-44.md` with `PostedAs:` and the issue URL. Acceptance: when at least one criterion is deferred, the mirror records a created issue number and URL; when all three were discharged live, the mirror records `SearchScope:`, `SearchPatterns:` and `SearchResult: none` together with the statement that no follow-up was required, so the absence claim is auditable rather than asserted. +- [ ] [P8-T5] File a follow-up GitHub issue carrying any criterion left unchecked by P8-T2, P8-T3 or P8-T4, together with the two files Scope Decision 8 leaves unformatted, titled to name issue #911, with a body that quotes the P8-T1 measurement, names the runbook at `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/runbooks/github-app-installation-token.runbook.md`, lists the exact verification commands from those three tasks, and names `scripts/vscode/Invoke-MSTest.ps1` and `scripts/vscode/Invoke-MSTestWithCoverage.ps1` as carrying unformatted PowerShell on `main`; then mirror it to `evidence/issue-updates/p8-t5-followup-issue.2026-09-19T09-44.md` with `PostedAs:` and the issue URL. Acceptance: the mirror records a created issue number and URL, because the two unformatted files make the follow-up unconditional even when all three criteria were discharged live; and the mirror records `SearchScope:`, `SearchPatterns:` and `SearchResult:` for the deferred-criteria enumeration so that an empty deferred set is auditable rather than asserted. - [ ] [P8-T6] Commit the Phase 8 evidence with an explicit pathspec limited to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/` and record the head SHA in `evidence/qa-gates/p8-t6-commit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `git show --name-only --format= HEAD` lists only paths under that folder; `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all` contains no entry outside `coverage/`; the head SHA differs from the value P7-T11 recorded. ### Phase 9 — Final QA Loop, Acceptance Check-Off and Close-Out -The four PowerShell steps and the four C# steps below run in order. If any step fails, or if any step +The three PowerShell steps and the four C# steps below run in order. If any step fails, or if any step changes a tracked file, the loop restarts from P9-T1. `EXIT_CODE: SKIPPED` is not a passing outcome for any task in this phase. -- [ ] [P9-T1] PowerShell QA step 1 — run CMD-POSHQC-FORMAT over the four `scan_folders` with before and after SHA-256 hash sets recorded into `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t1-poshqc-format.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true`, both hash sets recorded, and the hash-difference rewrite count recorded as an integer equal to 0. A non-zero count restarts the loop and the next iteration's artifact carries the suffix `iter2`, so an artifact is never overwritten by a same-minute rerun. +- [ ] [P9-T1] PowerShell QA step 1 — run CMD-POSHQC-FORMAT over the four `scan_folders`, then run CMD-REVERT-OUT-OF-SCOPE-FORMAT, recording into `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t1-poshqc-format.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md` the before and after SHA-256 hash sets, the pre-revert and post-revert `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- scripts/vscode` captures, and the exact `scan_folders` argument value. Acceptance: both hash sets recorded; the hash-difference rewrite count computed after the revert and excluding `scripts/vscode/Invoke-MSTest.ps1` and `scripts/vscode/Invoke-MSTestWithCoverage.ps1` is recorded as an integer equal to 0; and the post-revert capture lists neither of those two paths. A non-zero count restarts the loop and the next iteration's artifact carries the suffix `iter2`, so an artifact is never overwritten by a same-minute rerun. -- [ ] [P9-T2] PowerShell QA step 2 — run CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t2-poshqc-analyze.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `MCP Result: ok:true`, the integer finding count is exactly 0, and the artifact quotes the exact `scan_folders` argument value so an unscoped run is distinguishable from a clean one. +- [ ] [P9-T2] PowerShell QA step 2 — run CMD-POSHQC-ANALYZE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t2-poshqc-analyze.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: the artifact records the exact `scan_folders` argument value, the integer total finding count, and the full finding tuple list; the finding count for every file this change created or modified — the thirteen enumerated at P6-T2 plus `scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1` and `tests/scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.Tests.ps1`, fifteen paths in total — is exactly 0; and every remaining finding is a member of the 16-tuple baseline set P0-T17 recorded, compared element by element. `MCP Result: ok:true` is not asserted and is expected to be `false` while the residual baseline findings remain in files outside the Write Set. -- [ ] [P9-T3] PowerShell QA step 3 — run CMD-PESTER-ALL with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p9-t3-pester-coverage.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.xml` and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t3-pester.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

This task checks off **AC24**, together with the format and analyze results from P9-T1 and P9-T2 which the artifact must cite by path. +- [ ] [P9-T3] PowerShell QA step 3 — run CMD-PESTER-ALL with `` set to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p9-t3-pester-coverage.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.xml` and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t3-pester.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; `Failed=0`; the aggregate JaCoCo LINE percentage recorded to two decimals and at least 85; the `sourcefile` LINE percentage recorded and at least 90 for each of `PackageGraph.psm1`, `PackageCompatibility.psm1`, `AnalyzerItemRepair.psm1`, `ProjectConsistency.psm1`, `ConsistencyVerifier.psm1` and `Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1`; the `sourcefile` LINE percentage for `Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` recorded and strictly greater than its P0-T18 baseline of 0 covered of 84 lines; and the artifact states explicitly that Pester emits no branch counter in any output format, so the branch threshold is unevaluable for PowerShell and no branch figure is claimed. This task checks off **AC24**, together with the format and analyze results from P9-T1 and P9-T2 which the artifact must cite by path. - [ ] [P9-T4] C# QA step 1 — run CMD-CSHARPIER-CHECK and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t4-csharpier-check.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, the verbatim `Checked N files in Xms.` line recorded with `N` as an integer greater than 900, and zero files reported with findings. -- [ ] [P9-T5] C# QA step 2 — run CMD-MSBUILD-ANALYZERS and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t5-msbuild-analyzers.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; exactly 0 lines containing `CS0006` in `coverage/analyzers.msbuild.log`; and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` with the exact count recorded. The `/out:` count is the non-vacuity observation required by AC25, because a build whose compile targets were skipped would also report zero errors. +- [ ] [P9-T5] C# QA step 2 — satisfy CMD-OUTLOOK, run CMD-MSBUILD-ANALYZERS and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t5-msbuild-analyzers.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`, `OUTLOOK-CLOSED: true` recorded, and at least 18 lines containing `/out:obj\Debug\` in `coverage/nullable.msbuild.log`, with the exact count recorded. - [ ] [P9-T7] C# QA step 4 — run CMD-MSTEST-COVERAGE and record the result in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t7-mstest-coverage.iter1.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. Acceptance: `EXIT_CODE: 0`; the artifact records the numeric line-coverage and branch-coverage percentages the runner printed, together with passed, failed and skipped counts; and the failed count is 0 with the passed count greater than zero. - [ ] [P9-T8] Record the AC25 single-pass attestation in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t8-ac25-csharp-toolchain.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, citing the four artifacts from P9-T4 through P9-T7 by path and recording their four `EXIT_CODE` values and their four timestamps. Acceptance: all four exit codes are 0; the four timestamps are strictly increasing, proving they ran in order within one pass; and the analyzer and nullable non-vacuity counts recorded at P9-T5 and P9-T6 are both at least 18. If any of the four artifacts belongs to an earlier loop iteration, the attestation fails and the loop restarts from P9-T1. This task checks off **AC25**. -- [ ] [P9-T9] Record the coverage reconciliation in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t9-coverage-reconciliation.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: for C#, the numeric baseline from `evidence/baseline/p2-t7-mstest-numeric-baseline.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, the post-change values from P9-T7, and the delta for each of line and branch; for PowerShell, the aggregate baseline from `evidence/baseline/p0-t17-pester.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, the post-change aggregate from P9-T3, and the per-new-module figures. Acceptance: every figure is a number, not a placeholder; the C# line and branch deltas are each greater than or equal to 0, which is the no-regression condition and is meaningful because this change modifies no `.cs` file; the PowerShell aggregate is at least 85; every new module is at least 90; and the artifact states that no branch figure exists for PowerShell and names the tooling reason. +- [ ] [P9-T9] Record the coverage reconciliation in `evidence/qa-gates/p9-t9-coverage-reconciliation.2026-09-19T09-44.md`: for C#, the numeric baseline from `evidence/baseline/p2-t7-mstest-numeric-baseline.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, the post-change values from P9-T7, and the delta for each of line and branch; for PowerShell, the aggregate baseline from `evidence/baseline/p0-t18-pester.2026-09-19T09-44.md`, the post-change aggregate from P9-T3, and the per-new-module figures. Acceptance: every figure is a number, not a placeholder; the C# post-change line coverage is at least 0.80 and the branch coverage at least 0.75, which are the floors `scripts/vscode/Invoke-MSTestWithCoverage.ps1` enforces; the C# line and branch deltas are each greater than or equal to minus 0.005 in the runner's fractional units, that is no worse than half a percentage point; the PowerShell aggregate is at least 85; and every new module is at least 90. A delta between minus 0.005 and 0 is recorded as within measurement noise and is not a regression finding; a delta below minus 0.005 is a blocking regression. The margins are thin — the preflight measurement recorded line `0.820056` against the 0.80 floor and branch `0.782406` against the 0.75 floor — so a drop of roughly two line points or three branch points would breach the runner's own gate at P9-T7 before this comparison is reached, and a breach there is far more likely to be an unrelated regression than a defect in this change, which modifies no `.cs` file.

A selection rule would have rewritten all eighty analyzer items rather than the fifteen that are stale. Revision 5 adds gate rule 12 requiring byte-exact path substitution and a positive residual assertion, after a sed pattern with doubled backslashes silently matched nothing while sed -i still rewrote fifteen files' line endings, producing a fifteen-file porcelain against an empty diff.

The rewrite is performed with the `Edit` tool or with PowerShell `[System.IO.File]::ReadAllText` and `WriteAllText`, **never with `sed` through the Bash tool**, per gate rule 12: that tool collapses the doubled backslashes the pattern needs, so the substitution silently matches nothing while `sed -i` still rewrites the line endings of all 15 files.

The restored package directory is enumerated through the injected listing delegate **only to confirm the preserved segment still exists** in the new version's listing, never to select a folder, and the path is never computed from the package id. Selecting a folder is prohibited: the committed items are not the highest available for either Roslyn-qualified family — Meziantou sits at `roslyn5.0` with `roslyn5.6` and `roslyn5.9` present, Roslynator at `roslyn4.7` with `roslyn5.0` present — so a highest-folder rule would rewrite all 80 items in those two families rather than the 15 this change owns, pull every analyzer-bearing project outside the spec `## Write Set` into the footprint, and stake the analyzer build on a Roslyn version the installed MSBuild may not support. The existing segment encodes a toolchain-compatibility choice made by the package's own install step against the installed Visual Studio, and nothing in this change carries the information to re-make it. When the preserved segment is **absent** from the new version's listing the repair emits no guessed path: it leaves the item unmodified and reports a distinct non-fatal class naming the project, the item, the missing segment and the segments the package does ship, in the same reporting shape as the absent-from-manifest class at P5-T8.

Amending here, before Phase 0 begins, removes that contradiction. AC12 previously required that a listing offering two Roslyn-qualified folders select the higher. Measured, neither analyzer family in this repository names the highest folder its package ships, so a selection rule would rewrite all eighty analyzer items rather than the fifteen that are stale. AC12 now requires the existing folder segment be preserved and only the version segment moved, with a reported non-fatal class when the preserved segment is absent from the new version. Also corrects the Risks bullet that named the superseded rule.

Without it three tasks fail rather than trivially pass when that branch lands first, two of them in phase zero. The already-landed branch requires a positive base-commit count of sixteen files at 3.0.235, because a tree from which the fifteen items had simply been deleted would otherwise satisfy every zero-valued clause. Counts the fifth verifier surface everywhere it is cited, gives the missing-segment class one owner, and removes a test-name ban that forbade the clearest name for the case it required.

The amendment states the reason in the spec itself: the committed selections are not the highest available for either family — Meziantou sits at `roslyn5.0` with 5.6 and 5.9 present, Roslynator at `roslyn4.7` with 5.0 present — so a selection rule would rewrite all 80 items in those two families rather than the 15 this change owns, and would stake the analyzer build on a Roslyn version the installed MSBuild may not support.

From 8b0afe2c48060804ded103db62a4c3e5eceef8f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Moisan Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 12:08:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 08/33] docs(911): plan revision 7 - anchor the branch discriminator, drop the inert footprint floor The clause added to stop the already-landed branch being selected vacuously was itself vacuous. Measured against both refs: the unanchored literal returns sixteen files in BOTH states because it also matches the Import and Error guards, which already name 3.0.235 everywhere - that asymmetry is defect 898 itself. Read as a sum it returns thirty-three and forty-eight, neither of which is the asserted sixteen. Anchoring to Analyzer Include= returns one at an unfixed base and sixteen at a fixed one, and returns one again for a tree whose analyzer items were merely deleted. Replaces the aggregate footprint floor with five per-class counts. Neither seventy nor fifty-five could fail for any reason connected to this change: the deterministic classes total sixty paths before any evidence artifact and a sibling task asserts at least eighty-five artifacts.

From 33a3f64bb750dad95e7d2fbf5735d2dff25a0f31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Moisan Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 12:22:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 09/33] docs(911): plan revision 8 - three defects execution surfaced The per-batch budget assertions read hook state that can never populate: the hook roots itself at the session worktree and discards out-of-root candidates with allow and no state write, so every PowerShell file this plan writes in the execution worktree is silently ignored. Replaced with a direct count over each batch commit, which measures the property instead of a proxy that cannot observe this tree. Coverage floors corrected from 85 to 80 at five sites. The authoritative CLAUDE.md is the execution worktree's copy, which records the maintainer decision of 2026-09-11 under issue 563; the session copy is 243 commits stale. The discrepancy against .claude/rules is tracked as issue 668. This is material: the measured Pester baseline of 83.93 percent sits between the two figures. Twenty-two coverage collector documents moved out of the evidence tree to gitignored coverage/, because the authoritative CLAUDE.md prohibits adding a raw collector or test-platform document to git in any form, including under a feature folder's evidence tree.

The directory is inferred from the relative hook registration rather than +observed, because no PowerShell file has been written in this session and the hook has therefore not +yet run. The two candidate directories are the two worktrees' `.claude/state/`; **neither contains a +file of that name**, so the starting counts below are the same under either resolution. + +## Starting slot counts + +| Slot kind | Starting count | Cap | +|---|---|---| +| Production (`prodFiles`) | **0** | 3 | +| Test (`testFiles`) | **0** | 3 | + +Both counts are 0 because no `powershell-batch-budget.4b68295b-3901-4320-add3-cde634c30dae.json` +exists in either candidate directory. `Invoke-PowerShellBatchBudgetHook` line 367 initialises the +state to empty arrays and only rehydrates from disk when the per-session file exists. + +Caps are 3 and 3, the `Invoke-PowerShellBatchBudgetHook` parameter defaults (lines 316-317). +`CLAUDE_POWERSHELL_BUDGET_PROD` and `CLAUDE_POWERSHELL_BUDGET_TEST` are both unset, and raising +either is not authorised by this plan. + +## The stale `default` state file is not this session's file + +`.claude/state/powershell-batch-budget.default.json` exists in **both** worktrees, is **tracked in +git** (`git ls-files` lists it; `git check-ignore` exits 1), and carries `prodFiles` already at 3 of +3. It is not the file this session uses: the session-id segment is the GUID above, not `default`. + +It would also be harmless if it were. Its three entries are +`C:/Users/DANMOI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/claude/…/scratchpad/run-vstest.ps1`, +`…/postrebase_verify.ps1` and `…/run-toolchain-442.ps1`, all under the system temp tree. +`ConvertTo-PowerShellBatchBudgetState` (lines 218-225) drops every persisted entry failing +`Test-PowerShellBatchBudgetPathInRoot` against the current root, and all three fail it, so they +would rehydrate to an empty array rather than to a full batch. + +## Path-storage form (required record) + +The hook stores the **absolute `file_path` the `Write` or `Edit` tool supplied, with backslashes +normalised to forward slashes**, and nothing else: + +- hook line 347, `$normalized = $filePath -replace '\\', '/'`; +- hook lines 300-304, `$State.prodFiles = @($State.prodFiles) + @($normalized)` and the test-list + equivalent. + +No repo-relative reduction is performed. Every later boundary assertion in this plan +(P2-T9, P4-T8, P6-T7) must therefore compare path **suffixes**, never repo-relative equality. + +The production-versus-test split is by path shape, hook line 284: a candidate matching +`(^|/)tests/.*\.ps1$` or `\.Tests\.ps1$` is a test file, everything else is production. + +## Forward risk recorded at the point it was measured (not a Phase 0 failure) + +`Invoke-PowerShellBatchBudgetDecision` lines 277-282 discard an out-of-root candidate rather than +denying it: the decision is `allow`, **no slot is consumed and no state is written**. The +containment test at lines 82-92 admits a relative path unconditionally but requires an absolute path +to be equal to, or prefixed by, the root. + +Every PowerShell file this plan creates lives under the **execution** worktree +`C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\dependabot-911`, and the `Write` tool supplies an absolute +path. If `$Root` is the session worktree as derived above, every one of those writes is out-of-root, +is discarded, consumes no slot, and causes no state file to be created at all. + +The consequence is for Phases 2, 4 and 6, not for Phase 0. Scope Decision 4 states that a file +written by a heredoc "never appears in `prodFiles` or `testFiles`, and the boundary assertions at +P2-T9, P4-T8 and P6-T7 — which read those arrays — become unsatisfiable", and prescribes the `Write` +and `Edit` tools as the remedy. The measurement above indicates the remedy is insufficient on its +own: with the hook rooted at the session worktree, a `Write`-tool write into the execution worktree +produces the same empty arrays as a heredoc would, so those three boundary assertions would read an +absent or empty state file and could not fail. That is the absence-shaped shape gate rule 2 +prohibits. + +This is recorded, not acted on. The executor is not authorised to amend the plan, and no Phase 0 +task depends on the outcome. It is reported to the coordinator for resolution before Phase 2 runs. +The directory inference should be confirmed empirically at the first `Write` of a PowerShell file +(P1-T4): if no `powershell-batch-budget.4b68295b-…json` appears in either `.claude/state/` +directory after that write, the out-of-root discard is confirmed. + +Output Summary: State file the hook will use is +`.claude/state/powershell-batch-budget.4b68295b-3901-4320-add3-cde634c30dae.json`, resolved from +`$env:CLAUDE_SESSION_ID`, most probably under the session worktree +`C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\2026-09-12T10-15`. It does not exist in either candidate +directory, so starting counts are production **0** of 3 and test **0** of 3. The hook records the +absolute supplied `file_path` with backslashes normalised to forward slashes, so later boundary +assertions must compare suffixes. The tracked `powershell-batch-budget.default.json` is a different +session's file and its three temp-path entries would be dropped by the containment filter in any +case. Forward risk recorded: out-of-root candidates are discarded without consuming a slot or +writing state, which would leave the P2-T9, P4-T8 and P6-T7 boundary assertions unable to fail. diff --git a/docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/baseline/p0-t5-sdk-bootstrap.2026-09-19T09-44.md b/docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/baseline/p0-t5-sdk-bootstrap.2026-09-19T09-44.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6ac2bcb70 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/baseline/p0-t5-sdk-bootstrap.2026-09-19T09-44.md @@ -0,0 +1,76 @@ +# P0-T5 — Repository-Pinned .NET SDK Bootstrap + +Timestamp: 2026-09-19T12-26 + +Command: +``` +pwsh -NoProfile -Command 'Set-Location "C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\dependabot-911"; + & ".\scripts\vscode\Install-RepoDotNetSdk.ps1"' +pwsh -NoProfile -Command 'Set-Location "C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\dependabot-911"; + dotnet --version; dotnet --list-sdks' +``` + +`Set-Location` to the execution worktree is part of the command rather than an ambient assumption: +`pwsh -File` and `pwsh -Command` both start in the session worktree, and `dotnet` searches upward +from the current directory for `global.json`, so an unset working directory would read a different +checkout's pin. + +EXIT_CODE: 0 + +## Output + +Installer: +``` +Repo-local .NET SDK 8.0.205 is already installed at +C:\Users\DanMoisan\repos\TaskMaster-wt\dependabot-911\.dotnet-sdk. +``` +The script terminated without error (`$?` = `True`).

The policy section requires the substitution, not the prohibition alone: its rationale is that the projection and summary carry every figure a reviewer needs. The coverage runner already emits all three permitted forms into gitignored coverage, where the next run overwrites them, so two tasks now copy the JaCoCo projection and the trx summary into the evidence tree and commit them. States plainly that the PowerShell route has no enumerated permitted form, because all three are defined against the C# Cobertura path and Pester emits JaCoCo directly, so its markdown figures stand in for a form the policy does not define rather than satisfying one it does. Replaces two at-most-three batch assertions with exact counts. An at-most bound is satisfied by zero and zero, so it caught an overrun and missed an omission - the seventh absence-shaped defect in this plan, introduced while repairing the sixth.

From ace08abd1b0e7c04f6a1ed0ef510ecd644efbcfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Moisan Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 12:32:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 11/33] docs(911): plan revision 10 - conditional summary branch, self-maintaining SHA, tick assertions The trx-derived summary is emitted only when the document parses and carries a result-summary node; the projection is unconditional. Revision 9 treated both as unconditional, and the warning branch is live in this repository. Both copy tasks now branch, recording the warning verbatim and copying the projection alone when the summary is absent. Stops pinning the plan file's own commit hash, which the act of revising the plan invalidates. Round 2 fixed this by substituting a fresh literal and revisions 8 and 9 re-broke it. The assertion is now a property: the recorded commit is the tip commit touching the plan file and is an ancestor of HEAD. A sweep found and fixed one further literal of the same class. Adds exact ticked-task assertions at P0-T24 and at all five commit tasks - 23, 46, 64, 93, 105 and 111 - so a destroyed tick set surfaces at the next batch boundary rather than at task 127 of 128. Three of those five figures were wrong on first derivation and were corrected from the phase totals. Two sites still credited the batch-budget hook with denying a fourth write; both now name the three measurements that actually enforce it.

Acceptance: the production count is **exactly 2** and the test count is **exactly 1**, both recorded as integers with their enumerated paths, the production members being `scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1` and `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` — the second rewritten by the P0-T15 formatter and committed by P2-T8 per Scope Decision 8 — and the test member being `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1`. The counts are **exact rather than bounded above**, and the members are asserted rather than expected, because an at-most-3 bound is satisfied by 0 and 0: a batch that silently dropped a file would pass it, and the companion commit task cannot close that gap either, since P2-T8 asserts only that `git show --name-only` lists paths drawn from its pathspec set, which an empty commit also satisfies. Bounded-above counts catch an overrun and miss an omission; exact counts catch both. **This measurement replaces the hook-state assertion earlier revisions carried, which cannot fail in this environment**: `.claude/hooks/enforce-powershell-batch-budget.ps1` computes its root as `Split-Path (Split-Path $PSScriptRoot -Parent) -Parent` and `settings.json:144` registers it by a relative path resolving against the **session** worktree, so every file this plan writes is out-of-root and is discarded at lines 277-282 with `permissionDecision = 'allow'`, no slot consumed and `shouldWriteState = $false`. The arrays therefore stay empty and the state file may never be written, so an assertion over them reads empty whatever the batch did. The commit measurement asserts the same per-batch budget the hook nominally enforces, fails when a batch genuinely overruns, and does not depend on a hook that cannot observe this worktree.

A fix for the literal-invalidation class reintroduced the constant-valued class the same reviewer had removed at P0-T3. Now asserts a non-empty forty-character value, whose reachable failure is the empty return for an untracked path. The Pester artifact count of twenty was written without being counted and matches none of the three real populations: twenty-three tasks invoke a Pester command, twenty-two documents are produced, six record a coverage figure. Left alone it would have driven the work rather than described it. The obligation now falls on the six, enumerated by task id. Records the rev-list figure as measured rather than asserting a literal; it has already drifted from four to eight to eleven. Clarifies that a phase restart re-runs tasks without reverting their check-offs.

A Pester run emits JaCoCo directly with no +Cobertura stage, and `ConvertTo-JacocoPackageProjection` accepts Cobertura only, so none of the +three can be produced for this run. These recorded figures are a fourth form the section does not +define. The gap is stated rather than closed, because closing it would mean either committing the +prohibited collector document or building a Cobertura stage this change has no reason to build. + +The collector document itself is at `coverage/p0-t18-pester-coverage.xml`, which `.gitignore:144` +ignores.

Appended rather than inserted, so line 4 (**/evidence/**) keeps the line number three later sites cite. - scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1 and its Pester suite: a pure-over-text parser and renderer for packages.config, project files and app.config, with discovery behind an injected delegate. 164 of 164 instrumented lines covered. - One-time normalisation of all 18 packages.config and 17 app.config files to canonical inline form. 17 and 17 changed; SVGControl/packages.config was already canonical. - Issue #898: realign the stranded Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203 analyzer item to 3.0.235 in 15 project files, leaving the analyzers\dotnet\roslyn5.0\cs segment byte-identical. A cold restore plus solution rebuild is now green where it previously failed CS0006. - Issue #903: add the Deedle 3.0.0 and FSharp.Core 11.0.100 entries that ToDoModel.Test.csproj already referenced by HintPath. - Pin nuget-version to 7.9.0 in the three workflows that used a floating selector, and widen the Pester workflow to the two-member test and coverage paths. Gates: csharpier check 0; msbuild analyzers 0 with 18 assemblies compiled; msbuild nullable 0; Pester 206 passed 0 failed; PSScriptAnalyzer 16, the pre-existing baseline, with 0 in files this change owns; MSTest 7343 passed, line 85.93 percent and branch 80.09 percent.

The four `Get-PackageManifestPath` cases in the P1-T5 suite +continue to assert against string arrays and are re-run at P2-T3, which is where the behavioural +confirmation is recorded; P1-T6 ran against the pre-correction module and is superseded for this +function by that later run. + +The module's pre-correction hash was +`2993A7CE207733A1E725B825CA5022FAAC5A41641FB66925093241E1ECB5A8EB` and its post-correction hash is +`A33C42681F7FE5BF16130E6CA57634041671AEEA70948333311440AB2676DB7D`. Pass 3 left the latter +unchanged, so the formatter had no complaint about the corrected text. + +### Encoding observation + +The formatter left the file with **no byte-order mark** and **bare LF** line endings: 0 CRLF pairs +and 487 bare LF. That matches the file as P1-T5 created it and matches +`scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.psm1`, which the formatter did not touch. It differs from the +pre-existing files in the same folders, which are BOM-free with CRLF, so the divergence is line +endings only and not the byte-order mark. It is recorded here as an observation because it is +visible in the hash comparison; no acceptance clause of this task turns on it, and the pre-existing +suite is BOM-free too, so `PSUseBOMForUnicodeEncodedFile` is not implicated. P2-T2 measures the +analyzer finding set over the same files and is where a diagnostic would surface. + +## Derived revert pathspec + +Derivation, per CMD-REVERT-OUT-OF-SCOPE-FORMAT: the set of paths whose SHA-256 changed across the +format invocation, **minus** every member of the spec `## Write Set`. + +| Step | Value | +|---|---| +| Hash-difference set, pass 1 | `tests/scripts/dependencies/PackageGraph.Tests.ps1` | +| Is that path a spec `## Write Set` member? | **Yes** — `spec.md` line 599, added by P1-T1 | +| Derived set = difference minus Write Set | **empty** | + +**REVERT-SET: empty** + +`git checkout --` was therefore **not run**, which is what the Command Reference directs for the +empty case.

The absolute floor is asserted from P4-T3 onward, once +P3-T4 and P3-T5 give `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` its own suite; until then that +file contributes 0 covered of 84 lines. + +For completeness: the floor when it is asserted is **80** percent, the figure the execution +worktree's `CLAUDE.md` states under issue #563, not the 85 in +`.claude/rules/general-unit-test.md`.

The 32-test increase is accounted for: the P1-T5 suite contributes 32 `It` blocks +across 7 `Describe` blocks, and 174 plus 32 is 206. + +The per-file comparison is likewise positive rather than absence-shaped: it asserts 14 specific +covered counts against 14 recorded values, so a coverage document that instrumented nothing would +report 0 covered for every file and fail, rather than passing vacuously. + +## Evidence-form limitation, per gate rule 12 + +The figures above are recorded in this `.md` artifact and **stand in for a permitted evidence form +that does not exist for the PowerShell route**.

Phase 9 needs no such clause; no Phase 9 task carries a tick assertion. - **No task pins the plan file's commit hash.** The coordinator re-commits the plan at every revision, so any such literal is invalidated by the act of revising; P0-T24 records the value as measured and asserts only that it is a non-empty 40-character hexadecimal string, which fails when the plan file is untracked. This is a recurrence class, not a one-off: it was fixed at round 2, re-introduced by revisions 8 and 9, and the revision-10 repair then reintroduced a *different* class — an ancestor check that `git log -1 --format=%H -- ` makes true by construction.

That is the whole of the commit assertion, and its reachable failure is the empty return: `git log -1 --format=%H -- ` prints nothing for a path that is untracked or has never been committed, so the assertion establishes that the plan file is tracked and committed and fails when it is not. **An ancestor check is deliberately not asserted.** `git log -1 --format=%H -- ` walks HEAD's own history restricted to that path, so every value it can return is reachable from HEAD by construction and `git merge-base --is-ancestor HEAD` returns 0 unconditionally — a constant-valued condition of exactly the kind removed from P0-T3, arriving here from the opposite direction. The content guarantee does not rest on the commit value at all; it rests on the normalised-hash equality asserted above. Pinning a literal here is prohibited: the coordinator re-commits the plan at every revision, so each revision invalidates the previous revision's literal, and this exact defect was reported and fixed once at round 2 and re-introduced twice by revisions 8 and 9 — at task 24 of 128 it halts the run shortly after resumption. The property asserted instead is self-maintaining and still falsifiable: a plan file that is untracked, or whose last-touching commit is not an ancestor of HEAD, fails it. **The ticked-task count in the execution copy is exactly 23, being P0-T1 through P0-T23.** That is an assertion and not an observation, deliberately: an observation would have recorded `0` after a sync destroyed the tick set and the run would have continued to P9-T15 before anything noticed, which is 103 tasks later. The count cannot be derived from the either-mark pattern this task also uses — `^- \[[ xX]\] \[P\d+-T\d+\]` matches ticked and unticked alike, which is exactly why it is blind to a destroyed tick set and why a separate `^- \[[xX]\] \[P\d+-T\d+\]` count is required. The raw hashes are recorded but **not** compared, and are expected to differ, because those 23 ticks exist in the execution copy and the session copy is left unticked for the whole run. A normalised mismatch means the plan text itself diverged after the sync, and the executor stops and reports rather than overwriting either copy. -- [ ] [P0-T25] Commit the Phase 0 evidence with an explicit pathspec limited to `docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/` and record the resulting head SHA in `evidence/baseline/p0-t25-commit.2026-09-19T09-44.md`.

The rewrite is performed with the `Edit` tool or with PowerShell `[System.IO.File]::ReadAllText` and `WriteAllText`, **never with `sed` through the Bash tool**, per gate rule 15: that tool collapses the doubled backslashes the pattern needs, so the substitution silently matches nothing while `sed -i` still rewrites the line endings of all 15 files. Acceptance depends on the branch P0-T19 declared, and both branches execute and record measurements. **Branch A, `MEZIANTOU-898-STATE: unfixed`** — perform the edit, then assert in this order, because the first clause is the one the collapsed-backslash failure defeats: a residual search for the literal `Meziantou.Analyzer.3.0.203` across `*.csproj` returns **exactly 0 files**, against the 15 P0-T19 recorded; `git diff --numstat -- "*.csproj"` totals **exactly 15 added and exactly 15 deleted lines across exactly 15 files**, one added and one deleted per file; and `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all -- "*.csproj"` lists those same 15 paths.

Rewrites scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1 from 159 to 423 lines. The $tfmPreference array is deleted and all framework selection is delegated to the shared module; the script is restructured into eight advanced functions behind a seven-member injectable filesystem seam, so the repair logic is exercisable in memory with no temporary file. The three PSAvoidUsingWriteHost findings the file carried are removed. Consolidates .github/dependabot.yml to one catch-all group with open-pull-requests-limit 1, removes the four inert partition keys, and adds an unqualified Deedle ignore entry. The eight semver-major ignore entries are retained unchanged and in order. Delivers AC1, AC4, AC7 and AC9.

The deleted `$tfmPreference` +array listed `netstandard2.1` as its second-to-last member, so a surviving fixed ordering returns +`netstandard2.1` for this set; the correct answer is no selection. That is the point at which a +local ordering would diverge from the module, and the assertion is that the script returns no +selection. + +The non-selection is not asserted alone. The same `It` carries a positive control over +`net6.0`, `netstandard2.1`, `net472`, asserting the same resolver returns `net472`. A resolver that +had been broken into returning nothing for every input would pass the first assertion and fail the +second. + +The sixth `It` drives the whole entry point, `Invoke-PackageReferenceSync`, over a seam whose +package no longer ships the asset folder the project was bound to. It asserts the written project +text binds to `lib\net472\`, does **not** contain `netstandard2.1`, and carries the reconciled +`Version=2.0.0.0`, alongside an examined count of 1, a fixed count of 1 and exactly one write. + +## Boundaries are mocked at the wrapper-function seam only + +`MOCK_CALLS=0`. The suite calls Pester's `Mock` command zero times and therefore mocks no +executable, real or otherwise. Every external boundary is supplied as an in-memory delegate table +handed to the script's own `-Seam` parameter, built by the two `BeforeAll` helpers `Get-AssetSeam` +and `Get-RepairSeam`.

The +end-to-end case's writes land in an in-memory hashtable passed as the write sink. The zero is +guarded by the positive observation that the suite performs three filesystem reads in `BeforeAll` +— resolving the repository root, importing the module and dot-sourcing the script under test — and +by `IT_COUNT=6`, so a run that resolved no file is distinguishable. + +## Fixture correction made during authoring, recorded rather than absorbed + +The end-to-end case initially asserted `net472` against a seam in which every probe except the +stale `1.0.0` path resolved. It failed, and the failure was correct: `Get-HintPathRepair` prefers +the project's **existing** asset folder at the corrected version before asking the module to +select, which is the production behaviour the merge-base script also had. Under that seam the +existing `net45` folder resolved at version `2.0.0`, so no module selection was needed and none +happened. + +The fixture, not the production code, was wrong: it modelled a package that still shipped the old +asset folder at the new version, which is not the state the case is about. The seam now reports +that version `2.0.0` no longer ships a `net45` asset, and the offered set is `netstandard2.1`, +`net472`. The case then exercises the module-selection path it was written to exercise.

AC6 went red to green: the cold restore that produced `CS0006` at baseline now builds with 0 errors and 18 assemblies. Every Batch A gate passed — PSScriptAnalyzer exactly 16 matching the baseline element by element with 0 owned, CSharpier 1623 files at exit 0, analyzer and nullable rebuilds clean, MSTest 7343 of 7343. This revision fixes two discrepancies surfaced by that run before Phase 3 begins. Four files are uncommitted and deliberately so, the plan authorising no commit between P0-T25 and P2-T8: the plan's own P0-T25 tick, the correct `spec.md` Write Set amendment, and two evidence artifacts +- **Version:** 14.0 - **Check-off state of record:** the execution-worktree copy. A sync that copies the session copy over it must re-apply the tick set before committing, or executed work is silently unticked; the coordinator recorded that standing rule after ten ticks were destroyed by a revision-8 sync. Detection no longer waits for the end of the run: P0-T24 asserts an exact ticked count of 23 — satisfied on the executed run, which reached 25 ticks at Phase 0 close — and P2-T8, P4-T7, P6-T6, P7-T11 and P8-T6 each assert the exact count at their own point — 46, 64, 93, 105 and 111 — so a destroyed tick set surfaces at the next batch boundary rather than at P9-T15. Each figure is the count of tasks **preceding** that task, derived from the per-phase totals 25, 14, 9, 10, 8, 22, 7, 11, 6, 16 in the Task Count field; any revision that changes a phase total must re-derive all six. Three of the figures were wrong when first drafted and were corrected by re-deriving them from the phase totals rather than by recall. **A phase restart does not un-tick anything.** P2-T1, P4-T1 and P6-T1 each restart their phase on a non-zero rewrite count, and "the phase restarts from P2-T1" means the tasks run again, not that completed check-offs are reverted: under the acceptance-criteria check-off protocol a tick records that a task's acceptance was met, and re-running a task that passes leaves it ticked. An executor that un-ticked on restart would arrive at P2-T8 with fewer than 46 ticks and fail for a reason unrelated to the property the assertion measures. Phase 9 needs no such clause; no Phase 9 task carries a tick assertion. - **No task pins the plan file's commit hash.** The coordinator re-commits the plan at every revision, so any such literal is invalidated by the act of revising; P0-T24 records the value as measured and asserts only that it is a non-empty 40-character hexadecimal string, which fails when the plan file is untracked. This is a recurrence class, not a one-off: it was fixed at round 2, re-introduced by revisions 8 and 9, and the revision-10 repair then reintroduced a *different* class — an ancestor check that `git log -1 --format=%H -- ` makes true by construction. The same class of self-invalidating literal also reached P0-T3's `rev-list` figure, which now records rather than asserts. - **Work Mode:** full-bug @@ -260,7 +260,9 @@ re-confirmed by the executor during preflight. | `scripts/vscode/Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` | 159 lines; `$tfmPreference` at 14-19 with `netstandard2.1` at line 18 ranked above `netstandard2.0`; the only script in `scripts/vscode/` with no test file | the file, and glob over `tests/scripts/vscode` | | PSScriptAnalyzer baseline | 16 findings, 13 of them in five files outside the spec `## Write Set` | executor preflight run of the PoshQC analyzer | | Pester baseline | aggregate JaCoCo LINE 83.93 percent with `Total=174`; `Sync-PackageReferences.ps1` at 0 covered of 84 lines | executor preflight Pester run over `tests/scripts/vscode` | -| C# coverage margins | line 0.820056 against the runner's 0.80 floor; branch 0.782406 against its 0.75 floor | executor preflight coverage run | +| C# coverage margins | **line 0.8593 and branch 0.8009**, measured by P2-T7 on the compiling tree, giving margins of 5.93 and 5.09 points above the runner's 0.80 and 0.75 floors. **Superseded figures, historical only:** preflight recorded line 0.820056 and branch 0.782406 on a tree that did not compile because #898 was unfixed; those must not be used as a baseline, per gate rule 14 | executed P2-T7; the preflight pair is retained only to explain the 3.92 and 2.65 point gap | +| Formatter population is as-of its own measurement | P0-T15 recorded 0 of **32** files rewritten; P2-T1 later rewrote 1 of **34**, and the two are consistent rather than contradictory — P0-T15's population predates both `PackageGraph` files, and the one file P2-T1 rewrote is a Write Set member, so the derived revert set was still empty exactly as predicted.
