Shell-Gated Dependency Bump with GitLab MR
An agent proposes a single pinned package upgrade, runs the full test suite in a sandboxed shell, and opens a GitLab merge request only when the dry-run passes clean.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerScheduled upgrade scan
- ActionAgent picks one package and pins target version
- ActionApply bump and run test suite in sandboxed shellShell
- LogicGate: proceed only if test exit code is zero
- ActionPush branch and open GitLab merge requestGitLab
- OutputReturn MR link with test summaryGitLab
What it does
When a new dependency version lands, this agent drafts one pinned version bump, proves it safe in an isolated shell, and only then opens a GitLab merge request. Failing upgrades never reach review.
When to use it
Use it when your team wants automated dependency maintenance but refuses to merge anything that hasn't passed CI-equivalent checks first. Ideal for repos where a red pipeline is expensive and reviewer attention is scarce.
How it works
- 1A schedule fires the run on a cadence you choose.
- 2The agent reads the lockfile and picks one outdated package, pinning the exact target version.
- 3In a sandboxed shell it applies the bump, installs, and runs the project's test command, capturing the exit code and log tail.
- 4A logic gate inspects the result: non-zero exit aborts the run with no side effects.
- 5On a clean pass, the agent pushes a branch and opens a GitLab MR with the version diff and test summary in the description.
- 6The MR link is posted as the final output for human review.

When a Sentry issue is resolved, the agent finds the matching Confluence runbook page and proposes an inline update with the verified fix.
Stale Doc-PR Chaser for Runbook Gaps
On a daily schedule the agent finds runbook doc PRs that were opened from resolved incidents but never reviewed, summarizes what each one fixes.
