Integration version 6 replaces the Docusaurus-specific interface with standalone
Node maintenance. Use this checklist for an installation pinned to the earlier
workflows. New installations should use the setup guide.
There is no compatibility layer for the old paths or buildScript option.
The new shared revision removes defaults/docusaurus.json. A workflow SHA pin
does not freeze a separate defaults source whose ref is main. An old caller
that follows the removed path can therefore fail before its workflow is updated.
For an installation you cannot migrate immediately, pin its old defaults source to an immutable commit that still contains the old file. Then migrate the caller and configuration together using the checklist below. If the source path is already missing, that pin also restores access while you prepare the migration. Existing installations without shared defaults do not have this source-path issue.
When adopting the new defaults path, choose a ref containing the new file and review its values. Preserve local policy unless you intend to change it. These are manual steps; the shared repository does not rewrite consumer installations.
- Choose a reviewed version-6 commit. Read
node/contract.jsonand usenode/caller.ymlfrom that same revision. - Rename
.github/docusaurus.jsonto.github/node-maintenance.json. - Rename
buildScripttovalidationScriptif present. Keep"build"for an existing Docusaurus production build. Preserve the directory and maintenance policy. - Change shared defaults paths, if used, from
defaults/docusaurus.jsontodefaults/node-maintenance.json. Use a ref containing the new file. Review inherited values and local overrides; following the recommended defaults enables quarterly routine upgrades as well as weekly security checks. - Replace both caller workflow references with
node-audit.ymlandnode-publish.ymlat the same reviewed SHA. Use.github/workflows/dependency-audit.ymlas the caller filename. Match its cron entries to the resolved schedule, and include the current caller's permissions and manualaudit-kindinput forwarding. - If an App is configured, store and forward its variable and secret as
NODE_AUDIT_APP_CLIENT_IDandNODE_AUDIT_APP_PRIVATE_KEYbefore changing the caller. Unset values useGITHUB_TOKEN; its PR-creation setting must be enabled. - Verify the project locally:
Node declaration, exact supported
packageManager, standalone scope, lockfile, pnpm policy if used, and validation script. Omittedtoolchainnow follows project declarations rather than selecting the old fixed toolchain. Explicit or inherited constraints must agree with those declarations. - Update references to the renamed configuration in project documentation, workflow path filters, and existing checks. Remove an old caller with another filename so it cannot schedule duplicate work. Keep deployment behavior intact.
- Merge the update and dispatch security from the default branch. Inspect resolved tools, configuration status, frozen installation, project validation, and the report. Dispatch upgrades separately when routine work is wanted.
- After resolving configuration failures, inspect and close any old bot-owned Docusaurus configuration issue. The new reporter uses a new marker and does not adopt that issue.
The maintenance branch remains maintenance/dependency-audit, so a qualifying
proposal updates an existing open maintenance PR. Its title changes to Node: ….
A run with no dependency changes retains the existing PR and report; a successful
rerun leaves an existing draft for human review. No package-manager migration is
required for this interface change.
