Steel for Vulnerabilities, Silver for Zombies: Hunting Java's Unseen Monsters

RE: https://mastodon.social/@hugovk/116399324188897230
Starting with v8.0.0, Astral switched setup-uv to immutable releases with no floating v8 tags. This is good for security.
But unfortunately #Dependabot and #Renovate couldn't upgrade from v7 to v8.0.0, and need a manual bump to get back on track. This is not so good for security.
I posted about this on the three social networks, someone tagged @www.jvt.me and soon after Renovate now supports this! 🎉
Here's his writeup into the world of #GitHubActions tags:

Claude를 활용한 Dependabot PR 리뷰 자동화: 지루한 의존성 관리 해결하기
Dependabot이 생성하는 수많은 PR을 일일이 검토하는 번거로움을 해결하기 위해 Claude의 'skill' 기능을 활용한 자동 리뷰 도구를 개발했다.

After my recent playing around with #Copilot, I thought I'd take a look at my Github billing report to see how much I'd used. I have, this month, used US$5.80 worth of Copilot ... and US$870 of actions.
Most of those computrons got burned when #Dependabot pushed branches and then when it created pull requests so that it could whine at me about point releases of stuff like #CrossPlatformActions (https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action).

Do you use astral-sh/setup-uv@v7 in #GitHubActions?
And it's not hash-pinned?
And you use #Dependabot or #Renovate?
The setup-uv project has switched to only Vx.y.z tags, no more Vx or Vx.y.
But Dependabot and Renovate won't upgrade from Vx to Vx.y.z, so you'll need to manually update to [email protected] to keep up with future updates.
"To increase security even more we will stop publishing minor tags. You won't be able to use v8 or v8.0 any longer."

neither astral-sh/setup-uv@v8 nor astral-sh/[email protected] work -- only astral-sh/[email protected] works
