All nine Dependabot ecosystems now batch their updates into one grouped PR each
(`groups: { <name>: { patterns: ["*"] } }`) instead of one PR per dependency.
A routine refresh previously fanned out into a dozen-plus PRs (the Maven batch
alone opened 12), each running the full nine-language CI matrix (~55 checks) and
clogging the runner queue ahead of release and feature runs. Grouping collapses
that to one PR per ecosystem.
Trade-off: a single broken update blocks its whole group until excluded — fine
for routine maintenance bumps. Security updates are unaffected (they are not
grouped and continue to arrive individually).
Follow-up to the Dependabot action-bump merges and the cargo-deny ignore (#271).
Three low-risk supply-chain housekeeping changes — config/docs only, no library
code, no runtime change.
## 1. `osv-scanner.toml` (new)
The OpenSSF Scorecard *Vulnerabilities* check runs OSV-Scanner over the repo and
was flagging five advisory IDs (`score is 5`). These reduce to three findings,
all assessed as not affecting Wickra:
| Advisory | Assessment |
|----------|------------|
| RUSTSEC-2026-0176 / GHSA-36hh-v3qg-5jq4 (pyo3) | Vulnerable API unused; fix is pyo3 0.29 but rust-numpy 0.28 pins pyo3 `^0.28` → upstream-blocked. Already in `deny.toml`. |
| RUSTSEC-2026-0177 / GHSA-chgr-c6px-7xpp (pyo3) | Same — `PyCFunction::new_closure` not called. Already in `deny.toml`. |
| GHSA-72hv-8253-57qq (jackson-core 3.x) | **Not a dependency of this project.** No manifest, Maven plugin, or the GitHub dependency-graph SBOM references `tools.jackson` 3.x; the only jackson present is `com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind` 2.17.1. |
`osv-scanner.toml` records these as ignored-with-reason at the OSV layer,
mirroring `deny.toml` and the SECURITY.md VEX section. The Scorecard finding
also flip-flopped (fixed → reappeared) across unrelated release-bump commits,
confirming it is not a stable real exposure.
## 2. Bump `central-publishing-maven-plugin` 0.5.0 → 0.10.0
The Java binding pinned a publishing plugin five versions behind. Validated
locally with the JDK 22 toolchain (`mvn -Prelease validate`): the extension
loads, the existing `publishingServerId`/`autoPublish` config is compatible, and
all 14 binding tests pass. The actual `mvn deploy` upload path is only exercised
at release time (needs the Central token + GPG key), so it will be confirmed at
the next release.
## 3. Add a Maven ecosystem to Dependabot
The Java binding had no Dependabot coverage, which is why the stale 0.5.0 plugin
went unnoticed. Adds `package-ecosystem: maven` over `/bindings/java`,
`/bindings/java/benchmarks`, and `/examples/java` so plugin and dependency
updates (incl. the examples' jackson) are tracked going forward.
Clears the remaining zizmor code-scanning findings on this repo.
**Fixed**
- `dependabot-cooldown` (5): a 7-day cooldown on every update ecosystem
(cargo, npm, pip, ci-pip, github-actions) so Dependabot waits a week after a
release before opening the bump PR.
**Accepted via `.github/zizmor.yml`** (no workflow code changed)
- `template-injection` (sync-about.yml): false positive — every expansion is the
internal `grep -c` indicator count, not attacker-controllable.
- `use-trusted-publishing` (release.yml): OIDC migration tracked separately.
- `superfluous-actions` (release.yml): `softprops/action-gh-release` kept deliberately.
Verified with zizmor 1.25.2: 0 findings.
* ci: use npm ci instead of npm install for reproducible installs
Pins the node binding dependency install to the committed package-lock.json
integrity hashes (OpenSSF Scorecard PinnedDependencies). npm ci installs
strictly from the lockfile; npm install could resolve newer patch versions.
Covers ci.yml and both release.yml node steps.
* ci: hash-pin Python dev tooling in ci.yml (Scorecard #19)
Replaces the unpinned 'pip install maturin pytest numpy hypothesis' with a
hash-locked '--require-hashes -r' install (OpenSSF Scorecard PinnedDependencies).
Two lock files are needed because numpy publishes no single release with wheels
for both cp39 and cp313 (<=2.0.2 has cp39 only, >=2.1 drops cp39):
ci-dev-py39.txt numpy 2.0.2 (Python 3.9, + tomli/exceptiongroup)
ci-dev-py3.txt numpy 2.4.6 (Python 3.10+)
The step selects the file by matrix.python-version under shell: bash. Both are
generated from ci-dev.in via uv (scripts/update-lockfiles.sh, added next).
* ci: hash-pin Python deps in bench.yml (Scorecard #16)
Replaces the unpinned 'pip install maturin numpy pandas talipp finta' with a
hash-locked '--require-hashes -r .github/requirements/bench.txt' install.
bench.yml runs on a single Python version (3.11), so one lock file (generated
from bench.in via uv) is sufficient.
* build: add scripts/update-lockfiles.sh to regenerate all lockfiles
One command refreshes every committed lockfile across languages: Cargo.lock and
fuzz/Cargo.lock (cargo update), the Node binding package-lock.json, and the
hash-pinned Python requirements under .github/requirements/ (uv pip compile
--generate-hashes). Uses uv for the Python locks so a target Python version's
hashed transitive closure can be resolved without that interpreter installed
(needed for the numpy cp39/cp313 split); bootstraps uv if absent.
.gitattributes pins *.sh to LF so the script stays runnable on Linux/macOS.
* ci: split ci-dev requirements per Python version + Dependabot rehash
Splits the single ci-dev.in into ci-dev-py39.in (numpy <2.1, the last series
with cp39 wheels) and ci-dev-py3.in (3.10+), giving a 1:1 .in->.txt layout.
The cap keeps Python 3.9 permanently installable and stops Dependabot from
proposing 3.9-breaking numpy bumps.
Adds a Dependabot pip entry on /.github/requirements so the hash-locked tooling
is kept current automatically; the canonical manual refresh stays
scripts/update-lockfiles.sh. Only the '# via -r' provenance lines in the .txt
change; no package versions or hashes move.
* ci: cache pip and npm downloads in the PR-loop jobs
Adds setup-python cache: pip (ci.yml python matrix + bench.yml, keyed on the
hash-locked requirements) and setup-node cache: npm (ci.yml node job, keyed on
bindings/node/package-lock.json), on both the primary and retry setup steps.
Scoped to jobs that actually install dependencies; the examples-smoke and
clippy-bindings jobs install nothing and are left uncached. release.yml is
intentionally left out: it runs only on tag push (not the PR loop) and is the
publish-critical path, so no caching is added there.
* docs: document hash-pinned requirements and update-lockfiles.sh
Updates the lockfile-policy table: the bindings/python row no longer claims CI
installs tooling unpinned, and a new .github/requirements row documents the
hash-locked CI/bench tooling and the per-Python-version ci-dev split. Adds a
paragraph pointing contributors at scripts/update-lockfiles.sh (uv-based,
self-bootstrapping) as the canonical lockfile refresh.
* docs: changelog entry for hash-pinned CI dependency installs
