# Dependency Management Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Document Version**: 1.0.0
|
||||
**Last Updated**: 2026-01-23
|
||||
**Status**: Phase 4 - Maintenance Infrastructure
|
||||
**Scope**: All 34 directories, 27,826+ files

|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This document establishes the long-term strategy for managing dependencies across the MetaBuilder ecosystem. Following Phases 1-3 of the Dependency Remediation Plan (completed January 2026), this strategy ensures ongoing consistency, security, and stability.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Principles**:
|
||||
- **Canonical versions** define the source of truth for each dependency
|
||||
- **Workspace consistency** prevents dependency drift
|
||||
- **Risk-based update strategy** balances innovation with stability
|
||||
- **Automated auditing** catches issues early
|
||||
- **Clear escalation paths** for critical issues

## Version Standardization Policy
|
||||
|
||||
### Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
MetaBuilder uses a **tiered standardization approach**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Tier 1 - Critical Infrastructure** (must match exactly)
|
||||
- TypeScript: `5.9.3`
|
||||
- Node.js: `24.13.0`
|
||||
- npm: `11.7.0`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Tier 2 - Major Frameworks** (minor version flexibility)
|
||||
- React: Primary `19.2.3`, Secondary `18.3.1`
|
||||
- Next.js: Version depends on project (14.2.35, 15.1.3, 16.1.1 all supported)
|
||||
- Material-UI: `7.3.6+` (latest patch acceptable)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Tier 3 - Utility Libraries** (patch version flexibility)
|
||||
- Most dependencies allow patch version variation within minor version
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Enforce Exact Versions
|
||||
|
||||
Use exact versions (`1.2.3`) for:
|
||||
- Security-critical packages (crypto, auth)
|
||||
- Compiler/transpiler packages (TypeScript, Babel)
|
||||
- Build tools (webpack, Vite, esbuild)
|
||||
- Cross-workspace packages that must interoperate
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Allow Ranges
|
||||
|
||||
Use semver ranges (`^1.2.3` or `~1.2.3`) for:
|
||||
- UI component libraries
|
||||
- Utility functions
|
||||
- Data transformation libraries
|
||||
- Logging and monitoring tools
|
||||
|
||||
**Range Definitions**:
|
||||
- `^1.2.3`: Allows minor and patch updates (1.x.x compatible)
|
||||
- `~1.2.3`: Allows only patch updates (1.2.x compatible)
|
||||
- `1.2.3`: Exact version (no updates)
|
||||

## Canonical Version Registry
|
||||
|
||||
### As of 2026-01-23
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Infrastructure**
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Canonical | Category | Status |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|----------|--------|
|
||||
| Node.js | 24.13.0 | Runtime | Stable |
|
||||
| npm | 11.7.0 | Package Manager | Stable |
|
||||
| TypeScript | 5.9.3 | Compiler | Stable |
|
||||
| Prisma | 7.2.0 | Database | Stable |
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontend Frameworks**
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Canonical | Alternative | Category | Notes |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|-------------|----------|-------|
|
||||
| React | 19.2.3 | 18.3.1 | Framework | 19.x in new projects |
|
||||
| Next.js | 15.1.3+ | 14.2.35, 16.1.1 | Framework | Version per project |
|
||||
| Material-UI | 7.3.6 | - | UI Library | Latest patch OK |
|
||||
|
||||
**Development Tools**
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Canonical | Category | Status |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|----------|--------|
|
||||
| Vite | 6.0.0+ | Build Tool | Preferred |
|
||||
| Playwright | Latest LTS | Testing | Stable |
|
||||
| ESLint | 8.x | Linting | Stable |
|
||||
| Prettier | 3.x | Formatting | Stable |
|
||||
|
||||
**Mono-workspace Root**
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Canonical | Purpose |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|---------|
|
||||
| typescript | ~5.9.3 | Language support |
|
||||
| @types/node | ^24.0.0 | Type definitions |
|
||||
| eslint | ^8.57.0 | Code quality |
|
||||
| prettier | ^3.4.2 | Code formatting |
|
||||
|
||||
### Package-Specific Overrides
|
||||
|
||||
Some packages intentionally deviate from canonical versions:
|
||||
|
||||
**workflowui**: Uses React 18.3.1 (stable enterprise release)
|
||||
**pastebin**: Uses React 19.0.0 (cutting edge experiment)
|
||||
**exploded-diagrams**: Uses Next 15.3.4 (latest available)
|
||||
**gameengine**: C++ native, no Node dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Update Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Schedule
|
||||
|
||||
- **Security patches**: Immediately (zero tolerance)
|
||||
- **Critical bug fixes**: Weekly review cycle
|
||||
- **Minor version updates**: Monthly review cycle
|
||||
- **Major version updates**: Quarterly review cycle (planned)
|
||||
|
||||
### Decision Tree
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
New package/version available
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Is it a security patch?
|
||||
├─ YES → Update immediately, test, document
|
||||
├─ NO → Continue
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Is it fixing a known issue impacting us?
|
||||
├─ YES → Schedule for next cycle
|
||||
├─ NO → Continue
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Is it a major version bump?
|
||||
├─ YES → Schedule for quarterly review
|
||||
├─ NO → Continue
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Minor/patch for stable package?
|
||||
├─ YES → Safe to include in next batch update
|
||||
├─ NO → Hold for evaluation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Batches
|
||||
|
||||
Group updates by category for testing:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Security batch**: All security patches (test immediately)
|
||||
2. **Infrastructure batch**: Node, npm, TypeScript (test across all projects)
|
||||
3. **Framework batch**: React, Next, Material-UI (test web frontends)
|
||||
4. **Utility batch**: Logging, validation, data libs (test functionality)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Evaluation Framework
|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-Update Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before updating ANY dependency:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Reason: Why is this update needed? (security/bug fix/feature)
|
||||
- [ ] Impact: What areas of code does this affect?
|
||||
- [ ] Compatibility: Any breaking changes in release notes?
|
||||
- [ ] Test scope: Which projects must be tested?
|
||||
- [ ] Rollback: Can we quickly roll back if issues arise?
|
||||
- [ ] Timeline: When must this be completed?
|
||||
|
||||
### Risk Assessment Template
|
||||
|
||||
**Package**: `@mui/material` (example)
|
||||
**Current**: 7.3.6
|
||||
**Target**: 7.3.7
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk Level**: LOW (patch version)
|
||||
- Changelog impact: Bug fixes only
|
||||
- API changes: None
|
||||
- Dependencies affected: None
|
||||
- Test scope: docker-terminal frontend, postgres dashboard
|
||||
- Rollback complexity: Simple (revert patch number)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-release Package Policy
|
||||
|
||||
### Policy
|
||||
|
||||
- **Beta/RC packages**: Acceptable in experimental branches only
|
||||
- Allowed in: `pastebin`, `exploded-diagrams`, research projects
|
||||
- Never in: `dbal`, `workflow`, `frontends/nextjs`
|
||||
|
||||
- **0.x versions**: Not allowed for critical infrastructure
|
||||
- Exception: Can be used if no stable alternative exists
|
||||
- Must be pinned to exact version (no `^` or `~`)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pre-release in package.json**: Document why in PR description
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Pre-releases (Allowed)
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Version | Project | Justification |
|
||||
|---------|---------|---------|---|
|
||||
| React | 19.3.0-canary | Next.js internal | Managed by Next.js |

## Workspace Consistency Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Monorepo Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
metabuilder/
|
||||
├── package.json (root workspace config)
|
||||
├── dbal/development/package.json
|
||||
├── workflow/package.json
|
||||
├── frontends/nextjs/package.json
|
||||
├── frontends/qt6/ (no package.json - C++)
|
||||
├── codegen/package.json
|
||||
├── pastebin/package.json
|
||||
├── postgres/package.json
|
||||
├── ... (32+ more standalone projects)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Consistency Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Root package.json** defines shared dev dependencies
|
||||
2. **Workspace packages** extend root config, don't duplicate
|
||||
3. **Standalone projects** may override if justified
|
||||
4. **Version pinning**: Use workspace protocol where available
|
||||
|
||||
### Tools for Enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
**Command: Check consistency**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run audit:versions
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Command: Fix workspace issues**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install # Re-resolve dependencies
|
||||
npm ls --depth=0 # List top-level deps across workspace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### What to Check Monthly
|
||||
|
||||
1. **TypeScript version consistency**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -r '"typescript":' --include="package.json" | sort | uniq -c
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **React version consistency**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -r '"react":' --include="package.json" | sort | uniq -c
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Peer dependency warnings**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm ls 2>&1 | grep -i "peer"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Monthly Audit Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Audit Checklist (Run 1st of each month)
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Vulnerability Scan**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm audit --workspace root
|
||||
npm audit --workspace dbal/development
|
||||
npm audit --workspace frontends/nextjs
|
||||
# ... run for all workspace packages
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Outdated Package Review**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm outdated --workspace root
|
||||
npm outdated --all # See all outdated across workspace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Peer Dependency Check**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm ls --depth=0 2>&1 | tee audit-report.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4: Pre-release Detection**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -r '"@.*":.*-alpha\|^.*-beta\|^.*-rc' --include="package.json"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 5: Version Consistency Report**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# See section: Common Audit Commands (below)

## Risk Assessment Framework
|
||||
|
||||
### Severity Levels
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL** - Must fix immediately
|
||||
- Active security vulnerability (CVSS 9+)
|
||||
- Breaking compiler bug affecting production
|
||||
- Data loss risk
|
||||
- Security audit failure
|
||||
|
||||
**HIGH** - Fix within 1 week
|
||||
- Security vulnerability (CVSS 7-8.9)
|
||||
- Significant bug impacting core functionality
|
||||
- Compiler regression
|
||||
|
||||
**MEDIUM** - Fix within 1 month
|
||||
- Security vulnerability (CVSS 4-6.9)
|
||||
- Bug impacting non-critical features
|
||||
- Performance regression
|
||||
- Dependency has newer stable alternative
|
||||
|
||||
**LOW** - Include in next regular cycle
|
||||
- Minor bug fixes
|
||||
- Feature additions (non-critical)
|
||||
- Dependency maintenance updates
|
||||
- Patch version updates
|
||||
|
||||
### Major Version Bump Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
When considering React 18→19, TypeScript 4→5, etc.:
|
||||
|
||||
**Must Answer**:
|
||||
1. Why upgrade? (security, features, maintenance)
|
||||
2. What breaks? (breaking changes list)
|
||||
3. How long to migrate? (hours/days estimate)
|
||||
4. Who is affected? (list projects)
|
||||
5. Rollback cost? (complexity estimate)
|
||||
6. Timeline? (proposed schedule)
|
||||
7. Regression risk? ( 1-10 scale)
|
||||
8. Team readiness? (training needed?)
|
||||
|
||||
**Go/No-Go Criteria**:
|
||||
- Go if: Clear benefit, manageable risk, team ready
|
||||
- No-go if: Unclear benefit OR high risk OR team unready
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Emergency Procedures
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Vulnerability (CVSS 9+)
|
||||
|
||||
**IMMEDIATE ACTIONS** (within 1 hour):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Notify team in `#security` Slack channel
|
||||
2. Create GitHub issue labeled `security-critical`
|
||||
3. Begin assessment:
|
||||
- Does this affect us?
|
||||
- What versions are affected?
|
||||
- What is the fix/workaround?
|
||||
|
||||
**RESPONSE** (within 24 hours):
|
||||
|
||||
1. If fixable by dependency update:
|
||||
- Update to patched version
|
||||
- Run full test suite
|
||||
- Deploy fix to production
|
||||
|
||||
2. If requires code change:
|
||||
- Create emergency PR
|
||||
- Expedite review
|
||||
- Deploy same day if possible
|
||||
|
||||
3. If no fix available:
|
||||
- Implement workaround
|
||||
- Document mitigation
|
||||
- Set timer for patch release check
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependency Deadlock (npm install fails)
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnosis**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install 2>&1 | head -50 # See error
|
||||
npm ls --all | grep UNMET # List unmet dependencies
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Resolution**:
|
||||
1. Check `.npmrc` for `legacy-peer-deps=true` (should be set)
|
||||
2. Delete `node_modules` and `package-lock.json`
|
||||
3. Run `npm install` fresh
|
||||
4. If still fails, investigate conflicting versions
|
||||
5. See Phase 3 procedures for workspace-wide fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Regression Post-Update
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Build time increased, bundle size larger, runtime slower
|
||||
|
||||
**Investigation**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm ls [package] # Check what version got installed
|
||||
npm dedupe # Remove duplicate dependencies
|
||||
npm prune # Remove unused dependencies
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rollback if needed**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout package.json
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
npm rebuild # Rebuild native modules
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### What Must Be Documented
|
||||
|
||||
Every dependency change must include:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **In PR Description**
|
||||
- Why: Reason for update
|
||||
- From/To: Version numbers
|
||||
- Risk: Assessment level
|
||||
- Testing: What was tested
|
||||
|
||||
2. **In CHANGELOG** (if major version bump)
|
||||
- Migration steps
|
||||
- Breaking changes
|
||||
- API changes
|
||||
|
||||
3. **In Project CLAUDE.md** (if significant)
|
||||
- Updated version in canonical table
|
||||
- Any new patterns or concerns
|
||||
|
||||
4. **In Release Notes** (if shipping to production)
|
||||
- User-visible implications
|
||||
- Migration instructions for end-users
|
||||
|
||||
### Example PR Description
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Update Material-UI from 7.3.6 to 7.3.7
|
||||
|
||||
**Reason**: Bug fix for button styling regression (#12345)
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing**:
|
||||
- [x] docker-terminal frontend build succeeds
|
||||
- [x] postgres dashboard renders correctly
|
||||
- [x] All existing tests pass
|
||||
- [x] Visual regression test clean
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk**: LOW (patch version, no breaking changes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rollback**: Simple (revert version number in package.json)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with CI/CD
|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-commit Hook
|
||||
|
||||
Should verify:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install --workspace root
|
||||
npm ls --depth=0 # No UNMET dependencies
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### PR Validation
|
||||
|
||||
Should check:
|

## Contact & Escalation
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies & Architecture Team
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lead**: [To be assigned]
|
||||
- **Review**: @metabuilder-core
|
||||
- **Security Issues**: Report privately to [security@]
|
||||
|
||||
### Escalation Path
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Days 1-3**: File GitHub issue (ask for help)
|
||||
2. **Day 4**: Ping dependencies lead
|
||||
3. **Day 5**: Discuss in team meeting
|
||||
4. **Day 6+**: Escalate to architecture review
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Escalate
|
||||
|
||||
- Dependency has no maintained alternative
|
||||
- Requires major architectural change
|
||||
- Affects multiple frameworks/runtimes
|
||||
- Creates version conflict that can't be resolved
|
||||
- Introduces new language/runtime
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quarterly Business Review
|
||||
|
||||
Every 3 months, review:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Dependency health**: How many vulnerabilities found/fixed?
|
||||
2. **Update velocity**: How long between release and adoption?
|
||||
3. **Version spread**: How many versions of each package in use?
|
||||
4. **Team impact**: How much time spent on dependency issues?
|
||||
5. **Risk profile**: Are we ahead of CVE announcements?
|
||||
|
||||
### Metrics to Track
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Average time to security patch
|
||||
- [ ] Number of peer dependency warnings
|
||||
- [ ] Version consistency percentage
|
||||
- [ ] Pre-release package usage (should trend to zero)
|
||||
- [ ] Build time trends
|
||||
- [ ] Bundle size trends

## Canonical Version Registry (Snapshot)
|
||||
|
||||
As established in Phase 4:
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Infrastructure**
|
||||
| Package | Version | Status |
|
||||
|---------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| Node.js | 24.13.0 | Canonical |
|
||||
| npm | 11.7.0 | Canonical |
|
||||
| TypeScript | 5.9.3 | Canonical |
|
||||
| Prisma | 7.2.0 | Canonical |
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontend Frameworks**
|
||||
| Package | Version | Notes |
|
||||
|---------|---------|-------|
|
||||
| React | 19.2.3 (primary), 18.3.1 (secondary) | Per-project basis |
|
||||
| Next.js | 15.1.3+ | Multiple versions supported |
|
||||
| Material-UI | 7.3.6 | Latest patch acceptable |

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Processes Established
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Monthly Audit Process
|
||||
|
||||
**Schedule**: 1st of every month
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps**:
|
||||
1. Vulnerability scan (npm audit)
|
||||
2. Outdated package review
|
||||
3. Peer dependency check
|
||||
4. Pre-release detection
|
||||
5. Version consistency report
|
||||
|
||||
**Output**: Monthly audit report filed in `txt/AUDIT_REPORT_2026-{MONTH}.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Update Batching Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Security patches**: Immediate
|
||||
**Critical bug fixes**: Weekly (Mondays)
|
||||
**Minor/patch updates**: Monthly (1st week)
|
||||
**Major version bumps**: Quarterly review
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Escalation Framework
|
||||
|
||||
**Level 1** (Ask Slack, no urgent response): Version choice questions
|
||||
**Level 2** (File issue, 1 week): Non-critical bugs, minor conflicts
|
||||
**Level 3** (File issue + ping team, 1 day): npm failures, HIGH vulnerabilities
|
||||
**Level 4** (Immediate, Slack + issue): CRITICAL vulnerabilities, production blocking
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Version Consistency Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier 1 - Must match exactly**:
|
||||
- TypeScript: 5.9.3 everywhere
|
||||
- Node.js: 24.13.0
|
||||
- npm: 11.7.0
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier 2 - Minor version flexibility**:
|
||||
- React: Can be 18.3.1 or 19.2.3 (project-dependent)
|
||||
- Next.js: Version per project (14.2.35, 15.1.3, 16.1.1 all used)
|
||||
- Material-UI: 7.3.6+ (patch variation acceptable)
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier 3 - Patch version flexibility**:
|
||||
- Utility libraries: Within same minor version
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Emergency Response Procedures
|
||||
|
||||
**Security vulnerability (CVSS 9+)**:
|
||||
- Notify #security channel
|
||||
- Update dependency immediately
|
||||
- Test all affected projects
|
||||
- Deploy same day if possible
|
||||
|
||||
**Dependency deadlock**:
|
||||
- Run diagnostics (npm ls, npm audit)
|
||||
- Check .npmrc settings
|
||||
- Escalate to Phase 3 if needed
|
||||
- Document in GitHub issue
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. CI/CD Validation Gates
|
||||
|
||||
Automatic checks run on every PR:
|
||||
- npm install succeeds
|
||||
- npm audit (no CRITICAL/HIGH)
|
||||
- Version consistency (TypeScript must be 5.9.3)
|
||||
- Pre-release detection (warn if present)
|
||||
- Build succeeds
|
||||
- TypeScript compilation succeeds
