deps: bump the pending Go module and GitHub Actions updates

[bilby91]

Folds the ten open dependabot PRs into one change. Each of them was cut against a
main that still had the Podman backend, the Apple Containers backend and the
per-backend capability gating, so every one of them was stale and their green CI
was measuring a tree that no longer exists.

Where a newer release exists than the one dependabot asked for, this takes the
newer one, so next Monday's run has nothing left to open.

Go modules

module	from	to	dependabot PR
github.com/compose-spec/compose-go/v2	2.11.0	2.14.0	#112
github.com/google/go-containerregistry	0.21.7	0.22.0	#113 (asked for 0.21.9)
github.com/moby/moby/api	1.54.2	1.55.0	#100
github.com/moby/moby/client	0.4.1	0.5.1	#100
golang.org/x/term	0.43.0	0.45.0	#110
google.golang.org/protobuf	1.36.11	1.36.12	#114

go mod tidy pulled the indirect set along with them: docker/cli
29.5.3 → 29.7.2, klauspost/compress 1.18.6 → 1.19.2, golang.org/x/sync
0.21.0 → 0.22.0, golang.org/x/sys 0.46.0 → 0.47.0.

GitHub Actions

action	from	to	dependabot PR
actions/checkout	v6 (ci.yml), v4 (devcontainer-*.yml)	v7	#99
actions/setup-go	v6	v7	#111
docker/login-action	v3	v4	#96
docker/setup-buildx-action	v3	v4	#95

All four are majors. What the release notes actually break:

• Node 24 as the default runtime for the two docker actions, and an ESM
  migration for all four. Both need a runner ≥ 2.327.1, which the GitHub-hosted
  runners already are.
• docker/setup-buildx-action v4 removes deprecated inputs/outputs. Both call
  sites pass no inputs at all.
• actions/checkout v7 refuses to check out a fork PR under
  pull_request_target and workflow_run. No workflow in the repo uses either
  trigger: ci.yml is push/pull_request, devcontainer-cache.yml is
  push/workflow_dispatch, devcontainer-release.yml is workflow_dispatch.

Obsolete, closed rather than merged

#106 — actions/cache v5 → v6. Its two hunks are the Cache SwiftPM artifacts
steps in the Apple Containers CI jobs, and both jobs went away with the backend
(#127). actions/cache is no longer referenced anywhere in .github/workflows,
so there is nothing left to bump.

Verification

go build ./..., go vet ./..., go vet -tags=integration ./...,
go test -race -count=1 ./... (all packages pass) and golangci-lint run ./...
(0 issues) on the bumped tree. No source change was needed for any of the module
bumps.

Not done here

• No CHANGELOG entry. The four previously merged dependabot PRs (deps: Bump google.golang.org/protobuf from 1.34.2 to 1.36.11 #70, deps: Bump github.com/google/go-containerregistry from 0.21.5 to 0.21.6 #84,
  deps: Bump github.com/compose-spec/compose-go/v2 from 2.10.2 to 2.11.0 #85, deps: Bump github.com/google/go-containerregistry from 0.21.6 to 0.21.7 #101) did not add one; ### Build entries have historically been written
  during the docs(changelog): cut vX pass instead.
• FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24 in ci.yml is now redundant — its own
  comment scopes it to the 2026-06-02 default flip, which has passed, and every
  action in that workflow now ships Node 24 natively. Left alone because it is not
  a dependency bump and its removal is not verifiable from here; worth a separate
  cleanup.

Review round 1: the compose-go bump needed a fix, not just a bump

The adversarial review found a HIGH on go.mod:6, and it was right. compose-go
2.14 adds ServiceConfig.PreStart; 2.11 rejected pre_start at schema validation,
so the bump turns a loud parse error into a silently-accepted field. The native
orchestrator creates the service container directly, has no ephemeral
init-container step, and never reads the hook — and the hooks are part of the
ServiceConfig that compose.ConfigHash is computed over. So on the native
backend, adding or editing a pre_start on a running project would stop and
remove the existing container, destroying its writable layer, for a hook that
never ran.

Fixed by refusing the hooks in Plan.Validate through the existing §2.2
unsupported-field mechanism, which runs before any infrastructure side effect.
stripForHash drops the three fields too — the refusal already makes them
unreachable there, but a recreation is unrecoverable, so nothing the orchestrator
does not execute should be able to trigger one if the refusal is moved or a caller
reaches ConfigHash directly.

Scope beyond the finding: post_start and pre_stop already parsed cleanly under
2.11 and have the identical defect. All three are refused, not just the one the
bump introduced. The shell-out backend is untouched — it delegates to
docker compose, which implements the hooks itself.

Tests: TestValidate_RefusesLifecycleHooks (all three fields, one refusal each),
TestValidate_AcceptsAbsentLifecycleHooks (empty slices are not refused),
TestConfigHash_StripsLifecycleHooks, and TestUp_HookEditCannotRemoveExistingContainer
— the regression the finding asked for: a second Up that adds a pre_start must
refuse with no removeCalls and no runCalls. All four were confirmed to fail
against the unfixed code.

design/compose-native.md §2.2 gains the hooks with the rationale for refusing
rather than quietly ignoring them, and the CHANGELOG records the refusal plus the
dependency bumps.

CodeRabbit

One finding, answered rather than applied: it asked for persist-credentials: false
on two of the four checkout steps. That default is unchanged by v6 → v7, so it is
pre-existing rather than introduced here, and the recommendation exempts the other
two checkouts though all four are alike — none runs an authenticated git command or
pushes. Offered as a separate uniform change if wanted.

Flake note

test-integration-linux (1.26, 2) failed once on the first head with
alpine:3.20: failed to resolve source metadata ... no active sessions. That is the
pre-pull miss runtime/docker/build.go already documents: prePullBaseImages seeds
the local store via the classic ImagePull API because BuildKit refuses remote
metadata resolution without a credential session, and its pull is best-effort — the
error is discarded — so a transient registry failure surfaces as this confusing
BuildKit error. The same test passed on Go 1.25 in the same shard, and the diff of
moby/moby/client 0.4.1 → 0.5.1 touches neither image_build.go, image_pull.go,
nor session handling (only container_stop/container_restart comments,
MaxAPIVersion, new attestation files and service_*). Worth its own issue for the
swallowed pull error.

Review round 2: MEDIUM on validation ordering — fixed

Round 2 confirmed the HIGH as fixed and raised a MEDIUM: the §2.2 refusal is
reached only through Orchestrator.Up, which the engine calls after
prepareComposeServiceImage, layerFeatures and buildComposeSidecarImages. So a
native project using a refused field paid for the primary image and every sidecar
build, and left those images tagged, before being told the engine will not run it.
Verified: up.go builds sidecars before orch.Up, and BuildImage is called from
buildComposeSidecarImages.

This one predates the branch — it applies to all the pre-existing §2.2 refusals
(secrets, configs, develop, links, deploy, scale > 1), not just the
hooks added here. Fixed anyway because it is nearly free and the fix is the one the
code already invites: Plan.Validate documents itself as side-effect-free and safe
to call before any backend interaction, so Engine.refuseUnsupportedComposeProject
calls it straight after compose.Load. The orchestrator's own validation stays as
the authoritative call.

Native backend only, and that is load-bearing: the shell-out path hands the project
to docker compose, which implements the hooks and other fields the native
orchestrator refuses, so validating there would reject projects that work today.
Both directions are tested —
TestRefuseUnsupportedComposeProject_NativeRefusesBeforeAnyBuild (refuses with no
recorded builds) and TestRefuseUnsupportedComposeProject_ShelloutDoesNotRefuse.

design/compose-native.md §2.2 and the CHANGELOG record the new call site.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates GitHub Actions versions across CI and Dev Container workflows. It also updates direct and indirect Go module dependencies.

Changes

Toolchain maintenance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CI action updates .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/devcontainer-cache.yml, .github/workflows/devcontainer-release.yml	Updated checkout, setup-go, Docker Buildx, and registry login actions to newer major versions across lint, test, integration-test, cache, merge, and release jobs.
Go dependency updates go.mod	Updated Compose, container registry, Moby, terminal, protobuf, Docker CLI, compression, synchronization, and system dependencies.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 04479

The workflow upgrade leaves checkout credentials persisted in pull-request test jobs, increasing the access available to repository-controlled test code. The PR is otherwise mergeable, but disabling persisted credentials in those jobs should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Poem

A rabbit checks the workflow gate,
New action versions arrive in state.
Go modules hop to versions bright,
CI runs with cleaner flight.
The carrot builds pass through the night.

Code Review — head 044791c

Reviewed the exact detached head 044791cf84a8c6917989c347b9e115c94fdd264a against merge base d930c912b5b04da36c1a3a28b54446d1e0b72a79: 2 commits and 5 changed files. Read the base-ref review directives plus README, CONTRIBUTING, all changed workflow/module files, relevant callers, and the upstream action/module source needed to verify compatibility. Covered dependency/API compatibility, native compose parsing/orchestration and hash/recreation behavior (R2/R3/R5/R7), and workflow action runtime/trigger behavior. No tests or code under review were executed, per review policy. Other dimensions were skipped where the diff had no relevant mechanism (tenancy, event flow, migrations, lifecycle, untrusted runtime input, and testing-only concerns).

• [HIGH] [R3] The compose-go bump makes native pre_start edits trigger destructive recreation even though the native orchestrator drops the hook — go.mod:6

Verdict

BLOCKING — at least one finding is at or above this repository's blocking severity.

[dap-code-review-by-crunchloop]

[HIGH] [R3] The compose-go bump makes native pre_start edits trigger destructive recreation even though the native orchestrator drops the hook

• Witness: Command: gh api repos/compose-spec/compose-go/contents/types/types.go?ref=d70c053ec9cbd7180c7881ba769d277f5cfc6fb5 --jq '.content' | base64 -d | grep -n -A100 -B5 'type ServiceConfig struct'\nRaw output: PreStart []ServiceHook yaml:"pre_start,omitempty" json:"pre_start,omitempty" (the same command against v2.11.0 has no PreStart field). The new compose-go version therefore places a legal pre_start hook in the ServiceConfig returned by compose.Load; compose/hash.go:50 JSON-marshals the whole service and does not strip PreStart, while compose/orchestrator.go:619-726 translates the service without reading PreStart or running an ephemeral pre-start container. On native EngineOptions.ComposeBackend, a project containing pre_start: [{command: [migrate]}] is thus run without migrate; changing that command on a later Up changes the hash, reaches compose/orchestrator.go:405-407, and stops/removes the existing container before recreating it, destroying its writable layer for a hook the backend still ignores.
• Consumer: compose/orchestrator.go:405-407 consumes the hash mismatch by stopping and removing the existing container, and compose/orchestrator.go:692-726 consumes the parsed service to build RunSpec without a PreStart mapping; the native caller is up.go:612-635, which loads the project and invokes Orchestrator.Up.
• Fix: Either implement and execute ServiceConfig.PreStart in the native orchestrator, or (the smallest safe change while it is unsupported) reject any non-empty PreStart in refuseUnsupportedFields before infrastructure side effects and strip it from stripForHash so unsupported metadata cannot cause recreation. Add a native-backend regression test proving a legal pre_start config is refused (or executed) and that changing it cannot delete an existing workspace.

Tell me more about this change.

[dap-code-review-by-crunchloop]

Resolved — the reviewer verified this was fixed.

Verified: Verified at head 652f63c: compose/plan.go now appends unsupportedHooks for pre_start/post_start/pre_stop and Plan.Validate runs before TopoSort, CreateNetwork, or any service/hash work in compose/orchestrator.go:109-116. Direct ConfigHash also strips all three fields in compose/hash.go:75-86, so the previously reported hook edit cannot reach destructive recreation through the native Up path.

The review comment above records what was claimed at the time, and is left unedited.

[dap-code-review-by-crunchloop]

Code Review — head 652f63c

Reviewed exact head 652f63c after fetching/checking out detached; scope was 12 files across 3 commits. Loaded the base directives at d930c91 and applied R2/R3/R5/R7/R8 plus the platform dimensions relevant to dependency, workflow, compose validation, hashing, and failure paths. Verified the carried R3 finding about lifecycle-hook hash drift is fixed by pre-hash Plan validation and hook stripping, and recorded the remaining native-compose validation-order issue. Reviewed the changed workflows, module declarations/checksums, compose plan/hash/orchestrator paths, Engine callers, runtime interface and Docker primitives, tests, README, and compose-native design record. Did not execute tests, builds, or the reviewed system per review policy; no other concrete findings survived source inspection.

• [MEDIUM] [D12] Native compose rejects lifecycle hooks only after building images and can leave those build side effects behind — compose/plan.go:187

Verdict

ADVISORY — findings worth reading, none of them blocking.

[dap-code-review-by-crunchloop]

[MEDIUM] [D12] Native compose rejects lifecycle hooks only after building images and can leave those build side effects behind

• Witness: A native compose project with an unsupported hook and a buildable sidecar reaches upComposeNative: up.go:721 calls buildComposeSidecarImages before compose.Orchestrator.Up, while the new hook refusal is only reached from compose/plan.go:187 via Orchestrator.Up → Plan.Validate at compose/orchestrator.go:109. buildComposeSidecarImages calls e.runtime.BuildImage at up.go:834-840, so the request can build/tag selected sidecar images and only then return *UnsupportedFieldError without starting the project.
• Consumer: up.go:721-723 consumes the loaded project by building selected sidecar images before validation; up.go:834-840 is the backend side-effecting build call. The caller receives a refusal for the hook only after that work has completed.
• Fix: Validate the loaded native compose plan immediately after compose.Load (before primary-image preparation, feature layering, or sidecar builds), or otherwise run the same hook/unsupported-feature validation before any BuildImage/pull side effect. Keep the later orchestrator validation as a defense in depth.

[dap-code-review-by-crunchloop]

Resolved — the reviewer verified this was fixed.

Verified: Verified at head ddcd80a: Engine.createFreshCompose loads the project and calls refuseUnsupportedComposeProject at up.go:~670 before PrimaryService, prepareComposeServiceImage, layerFeatures, or sidecar builds. That helper invokes the same side-effect-free Plan.Validate used by Orchestrator.Up, so unsupported native compose hooks now fail before image/build side effects.

The review comment above records what was claimed at the time, and is left unedited.

[dap-code-review-by-crunchloop]

Code Review — head ddcd80a

Reviewed exact detached head ddcd80a (4 commits and 14 changed files from merge base d930c91). Loaded and applied .dap/review/engineering.md at the directives base. Re-read the native compose validation, orchestration, hash, Engine.Up call path, tests, workflow changes, dependency manifests, README/CONTRIBUTING, and the touched design record. The carried validation-ordering finding was verified fixed: native Engine.Up now calls the side-effect-free Plan.Validate immediately after compose.Load, before primary-image preparation, feature layering, or sidecar builds. No findings remain open from this run. Coverage focused on the changed native compose refusal/order behavior, dependency and CI updates, and their callers; no runtime execution or test commands were run per review policy.

Verdict

CLEAN — this round found nothing.

[dap-code-review-by-crunchloop]

No open findings on ddcd80a.

Approved by DAP code review. The DAP Code Review check run remains the verdict of record; this approval is a projection of it for branch protection, and is dismissed if a finding reopens or a later head is not clean.

@coderabbitai review

Two commits have landed since your review of 044791c (now at ddcd80a): the compose lifecycle-hook refusal and the validation-ordering fix. Requesting a re-review of the current head — your persist-credentials finding has a reply in its thread rather than a code change, and the reasoning is there for you to weigh.

a

[coderabbitai]

@bilby91 I will review the current head, including the two new commits and the persist-credentials thread context. The existing repository guidance indicates that this default is not introduced by the checkout version update, so I will assess that finding accordingly.

Learning: In the GitHub Actions workflows for the crunchloop/devcontainer repository, `actions/checkout` has historically defaulted `persist-credentials` to `true`. A dependency-only checkout version update does not introduce that behavior. Any hardening with `persist-credentials: false` must be reviewed as a separate, uniform workflow change across equivalent checkout steps.
