Remediates dependencies in place of Dependabot version and security updates. Discovers outdated packages and open security advisories, resolves advisories (in-range refresh, chain-head bump, security-floor override, or alert dismissal), audits overrides, applies migrations for major bumps, and runs the quality gate. Trigger when the user clicks the statusline `📦 /update-deps` indicator or asks "update dependencies", "bump deps", "run dependabot", "fix Dependabot alerts…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Contents: Pre-flight: Worktree check; Pre-flight: Branch check; Package layout; Flags and run modes; Companion groups; Phase 1: Discover, preview, decide (orchestrator); Branch creation (after discovery); Override audit + Wave A: Haiku agent; Phase 5: Wave B (per-group major bumps); Phase 5b: Transitive refresh (Haiku agent); Phase 5c: Security resolutions; Phase 6: Post-update override audit; Phase 7: Final report; Phase 8: Publish; Cost record (run end).

Dependency remediation (outdated packages and security advisories) through one quality gate, in one record. Interactively it previews first, advisories ranked first, so you can snooze what you are not ready for. Run from the main checkout, on `main`/`master` or any other branch, it works in its own worktree on its own branch cut from the default branch, opens the PR, merges it once checks are green, then cleans up locally, leaving the branch the main checkout holds as it was.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gaia-harness/gaia/update-deps@sha256:278fa03c3b8939e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.65f04fe, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
