Five findings, all valid.
`runOutdated` accepted every exit status and returned `result.stdout ?? ""`.
A failed `npm outdated` (exit 2 on a registry or config error) also prints
nothing, so the empty string parsed to an empty package list — and across five
installs a total outage produced output byte-identical to a clean sweep. It now
throws on any status other than the documented 0/1.
`main()` was untested, which is how that reached review: the helper-only suite
passed while the silent-success path was live. It now takes its spawn function
as a parameter and is driven by a fake, covering npm failure, create vs. edit,
milestone handling, both no-op paths and the missing-repo guard.
The no-op path returned before looking for the marker issue, so once every
install caught up, a still-open tracking issue kept its obsolete package table
indefinitely — contradicting the body's own promise to update in place. It now
rewrites through `buildClearedBody()`. It deliberately does not close the
issue: the sweep takes no board actions, and closing one whose card a
maintainer may have moved would make the board assert work shipped that this
script cannot verify shipped.
The release step mandated `npm audit fix`, which AGENTS.md forbids. The reason
is not `--force`: plain `audit fix` resolves an advisory with no upward escape
in range by silently downgrading, as it did to esbuild across three installs in
#2058, and `local:gate` has no version-regression check to catch it. The step
is now `npm audit` report-only, with fixes applied deliberately via a direct
bump or an `overrides` entry.
An unmilestoned issue is swept into Incoming, not Todo — Todo asserts a
maintainer signed off. Message corrected and pinned by a test.
