The CI deploy bootstrap hand-listed two packages and let the ubuntu-latest runner image supply the rest, so a new host-side import surfaced as a red deploy job instead of a failed install. Size [project.dependencies] to what runs outside the project image and move the deployment stack into a deploy extra, then have every install site read that instead of naming packages itself: the image build and make install-python take the deploy extra, the CI host and the mirror and instructions workflows take the base. Declare cryptography, which utils/manager/value_generator.py imports directly and which only reached the environment transitively through ansible. Drop numpy, which nothing in the repository imports. Guard the boundary with a lint test that blocks every deploy package and asserts the runner-host CLI still builds its parser. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update Pipeline 🔄
Shell helpers that drive the scheduled Update: Versions workflow.
Scope 📋
This directory contains the helpers invoked by update.yml to bump pinned upstream versions and open a pull request once per day. The helpers are thin wrappers: the image-version and repository-ref bumpers delegate to Python CLIs under cli/contributing/ that scan roles/*/meta/services.yml and rewrite version pins in place; the PR-open helper commits, force-pushes the update branch, and creates or refreshes the PR via gh. Helpers MUST NOT be called from workflows other than Update: Versions; the CI_ENABLE_AUTO_UPDATES gate is enforced once, at the workflow's job level, and bypassing it from another caller would create PRs even when auto-updates are intentionally disabled.
Each shim MUST resolve the repository root relative to its own location so it can run from any working directory, MUST forward arguments to the underlying CLI so --dry-run and similar flags keep working from the shell, and MUST exit non-zero on CLI failure so the workflow surfaces the error.
For the workflow catalog see workflows.md. For the repository variable that gates the workflow see configuration.md. For the App-token secrets that the PR-opening step requires see secrets.md.
