🤖 Codex review: Approved after dependency security and compatibility review.

Upgrade

  • actions/cache: v4 → v6
  • Reviewed head: 00aa9f9184b6db27362e927cd1638a108e5d0022
  • Reviewed action target: v655cc8345863c7cc4c66a329aec7e433d2d1c52a9

Security review

  • The reviewed v4 and v6 tags resolve to verified upstream commits, and the committed action bundles and dependency graph were inspected. v6 moves the runtime to Node 24/ESM, shrinks the production graph, and removes the old graph's reported high/moderate vulnerable paths.
  • Workflow scope is unchanged: only .eslintcache is restored/saved under the existing branch/key isolation, with no added token permission or input expansion.
  • v6 still bundles undici@6.27.0, which has three medium advisories fixed in 6.28.0. Static reachability review found the affected blob, cookie, and retry APIs unused by this action and workflow.
  • The Dependabot rebase changed only the base tree; the action version, tag target, workflow inputs, permissions, and execution context are unchanged, so the artifact evidence is reusable.

Compatibility verification

  • Current-head GitHub JS Lint passed, exercising actions/cache@v6 on the hosted runner; JS Build/Test, release, Go, and riverui image checks also passed.
  • npm ci --ignore-scripts — passed.
  • npm run lint — passed.
  • npm run test:once — passed (34 files, 233 tests).
  • npm run build — passed.
  • The riverproui image failure is at AWS role assumption in an unrelated workflow path.

Residual risk

  • @v6 is a mutable major tag, and dormant vulnerable Undici code remains bundled pending an upstream refresh. No reachable or blocking issue identified for this use.
