Description

The Update dependencies workflow currently runs every 15 minutes and force-pushes the update-dependencies branch on every run, rewriting the open PR's history and losing reviewable increments.

Desired behavior:

  • Run daily
  • Relock every package's uv.lock (make update / uv lock --upgrade) as part of the run
  • While an update PR is open, push new commits on top of its branch instead of force-pushing or opening new PRs

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the Update dependencies workflow and inspect how it currently schedules runs, invokes make update or uv lock --upgrade, and updates the update-dependencies branch. Done means it runs daily, relocks every package's uv.lock, and appends commits to an existing open PR without force-pushing or opening another PR.
