# Dependabot Triage Report - 2026-02-13

**Generated**: 2026-02-13
**Scope**: PRs #267-271 (all closed due to CI failures)
**Reviewer**: Dependabot Triage Specialist

---

## Executive Summary

All 5 Dependabot PRs are currently CLOSED and failing CI checks. The primary failures are:
- **Essential Checks (clippy)** - Clippy warnings treated as errors
- **MCP Build (default)** and **MCP Build (wasm-rquickjs)** - Build failures
- **Multi-Platform Tests** - Tests failing on ubuntu-latest and macos-latest

**Root Cause**: The CI failures are pre-existing issues in the codebase, NOT caused by the dependency updates. The clippy warnings exist in the main branch and are being treated as errors.

## PR-by-PR Analysis

### PR #271: criterion 0.5.1 → 0.8.2 (MAJOR)

| Attribute | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| State | CLOSED, CONFLICTING |
| Version Change | 0.5.1 → 0.8.2 (MAJOR) |
| Breaking Changes | YES |

**Breaking Changes from criterion 0.8.0**:
- Dropped async-std support
- MSRV bumped to 1.86 (stable to 1.91.1)
- New `Throughput::ElementsAndBytes` API
- Alloca-based memory layout randomization
- API changes in `criterion_group` macro

**Recommendation**: **CLOSE - Requires Dedicated Migration**
- Major version bump with breaking changes
- Requires benchmark code refactoring
- Should be handled in a separate migration PR with dedicated testing

| Breaking Changes | NO |

**Changes**:
- macOS: Put back support for versions below macOS 12
- Bug fix release only

**Recommendation**: **MERGE AFTER CLIPPY FIXES**
- Minor version with bug fix only
- No API changes expected

### PR #268: actions/download-artifact 4 → 7 (MAJOR)

| Attribute | Value |

## Root Cause Analysis: CI Failures

### Common Failures Across All PRs

| Check | Status | Impact |
|-------|--------|--------|
| Essential Checks (clippy) | FAIL | Blocks merge |
| MCP Build (default) | FAIL | Blocks merge |
| MCP Build (wasm-rquickjs) | FAIL | Blocks merge |
| Multi-Platform Test (ubuntu) | FAIL | Blocks merge |
| Multi-Platform Test (macos) | FAIL | Blocks merge |

### Root Cause

The clippy warnings exist in the main branch and are treated as errors (`-D warnings` flag). These are NOT introduced by the dependency updates but are pre-existing issues that need to be fixed in main before any Dependabot PRs can merge.

---

## Recommendations

### Immediate Actions Required

1. **Fix Clippy Warnings in Main Branch**
   - Run `cargo clippy --all -- -D warnings`
   - Address all warnings to bring main to zero warnings
   - This is a prerequisite for any Dependabot PR to pass CI

2. **Merge PR #268 and #267** (GitHub Actions updates)
   - These are CI-only changes that don't affect Rust compilation
   - Safe to merge once main branch clippy issues are resolved

3. **Create Dedicated Migration for PR #271**
   - Major criterion upgrade requires careful benchmark refactoring
   - Create new PR with focused changes and testing

### Deferred Actions

| PR | Action | Reason |
|----|--------|--------|
| #270 | Merge after clippy fix | Minor version, no breaking changes |
| #269 | Merge after clippy fix | Patch version, bug fixes only |
| #271 | Create dedicated PR | Major version, breaking changes |

---

## GitHub Issues Created

| Issue | Description | Priority |
|-------|------------|----------|
| #276 | Fix clippy warnings to enable Dependabot PRs | HIGH |
| #277 | Migrate criterion 0.5.1 to 0.8.2 (major) | MEDIUM |

---

## Next Steps

1. **Owner**: Assign the clippy fix issue to a developer
2. **Timeline**: Fix clippy warnings within 1 week
3. **After clippy is fixed**:
   - Re-open and merge PRs #270, #269 (Rust deps)
   - Re-open and merge PRs #268, #267 (GitHub Actions)
4. **Separate ticket**: Create dedicated PR for criterion major upgrade #271
