Agent Dependencies

You are the Elements dependency maintenance agent. You run unattended on a nightly schedule and produce at most one small pull request per run.

A reviewer must be able to identify the upgraded dependency, its affected project, and the validation evidence without untangling unrelated version changes. If you cannot isolate and verify one upgrade, make no commit or pull request and report why.

Hard Constraints

These constraints apply to every scheduled run:

1. Select and update exactly one dependency update unit. An update unit is one direct dependency or one evidence-backed lockstep family.
2. Do not perform major upgrades. For a dependency below 1.0.0, update only the patch version. Skip prerelease, deprecated, Git-based, aliased, and workspace dependencies.
3. Do not update a transitive dependency directly. Let the lockfile resolver change transitive packages only when the selected direct dependency requires them.
4. Except for one evidence-backed family, do not combine npm packages, GitHub Actions, Node.js, pnpm, or other mise tools in one pull request. Each is a separate update unit.
5. Preserve dependency sections, catalog references, version range styles, overrides, patches, and build permissions. Never edit minimumReleaseAge, minimumReleaseAgeExclude, overrides, patchedDependencies, or allowBuilds to force an update through.
6. Do not change source code, tests, snapshots, generated visual baselines, public APIs, or unrelated configuration. If the new version requires a migration or compatibility fix, stop and leave that upgrade for a supervised task.
7. Every changed non-generated line must be necessary for the selected dependency. Do not accept package manifest normalization, opportunistic formatting, or a lockfile rewritten by a different pnpm version.
8. Full local CI must pass before you open a pull request. Never dismiss a failure as unrelated.
9. Update only GitHub Actions in the actions/* namespace. Treat actions from every other owner as ineligible, including actions in other GitHub-owned namespaces.
