🧩 Analysis chain

Potential breakage: npm ci requires package-lock.json (and cache: npm depends on it).

If the repo doesn’t include package-lock.json (likely if it previously used Yarn), this will fail. Also, the cache will be ineffective without the lockfile.

  • Short-term hardening: add a fallback to npm install when no package-lock.json is present.
  • Long-term: commit a package-lock.json and keep using npm ci for reproducible builds.

Apply this diff to harden the workflow step:

-      - name: Install dependencies
-        run: npm ci
+      - name: Install dependencies (npm ci)
+        if: hashFiles('package-lock.json') != ''
+        run: npm ci
+      - name: Install dependencies (npm install fallback)
+        if: hashFiles('package-lock.json') == ''
+        run: npm install --no-audit --no-fund

Run this script to verify lockfiles present and package manager intent:

🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Check for lockfiles and packageManager field
fd -H -t f '^(package-lock\.json|yarn\.lock|pnpm-lock\.yaml)$' || true

Action required: workflow uses npm but repo declares Yarn v4 — align CI to Yarn or update package metadata

Quick verification: the repo contains package-lock.json and .yarnrc.yml, and package.json has "packageManager": "yarn@4.5.1". That indicates the project intends Yarn v4 but the workflow runs npm (npm ci / npm test), which is a mismatch and can cause inconsistent installs/caching.

Files to update:

  • .github/workflows/yarn-test.yml — switch cache to yarn and run Yarn install / Yarn test.
  • package.json or repository root — if npm is intended, remove .yarnrc.yml and update packageManager; if Yarn is intended, consider removing package-lock.json to avoid confusion.

Recommended workflow change (replace the Install+Run steps):

-      - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
-        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
-        with:
-          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
-          cache: npm
-      - name: Install dependencies
-        run: npm ci
-      - name: Run tests
-        run: npm test
+      - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
+        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+        with:
+          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
+          cache: yarn
+      - name: Install dependencies (Yarn)
+        run: |
+          corepack enable
+          yarn install --immutable
+      - name: Run tests
+        run: yarn test

If the project truly intends npm, update package.json.packageManager and remove Yarn config (.yarnrc.yml) and/or remove yarn-specific files. Otherwise, adopt the Yarn-based workflow above and remove or ignore package-lock.json to avoid confusion.

In .github/workflows/yarn-test.yml (lines 23–32) the workflow installs and runs
tests with npm while the repo declares Yarn v4 (package.json.packageManager and
.yarnrc.yml) causing a mismatch; update the workflow to use Yarn: change the
setup/cache to use Yarn (cache: yarn), run the Yarn install command (yarn
install) instead of npm ci, and run tests with Yarn (yarn test); alternatively,
if the project should use npm, update package.json.packageManager to npm and
remove Yarn files (.yarnrc.yml and other Yarn artifacts) and optionally delete
package-lock.json so CI and repo package manager agree.

🧩 Analysis chain

Matrix uses "latest"; verify support in actions/setup-node or switch to explicit versions.

actions/setup-node typically supports "x.y.z", "x.y.x", and "lts/*". "latest" may not be recognized and can cause version resolution failures or unexpected behavior.

Two safer options:

  • Use explicit versions you test against (e.g., 18.x, 20.x, 22.x).
  • Or use lts/* instead of latest.

If you opt for explicit versions, update the matrix accordingly (example shown—adjust to your policy):

-        node-version: [18.x, 20.x, latest]
+        node-version: [18.x, 20.x, 22.x]

To confirm whether "latest" is supported by actions/setup-node, please run this web query:

🌐 Web query:

Does actions/setup-node support specifying "latest" for the node-version input, or should we use explicit versions or "lts/*"?

💡 Result:

actions/setup-node does support using "latest" for the node-version input, but usage and behavior differ compared to "lts/*" and explicit versions. The recommended approaches are to use an explicit version, a SemVer range, or "lts/*" for current active LTS, and only use "latest" with caution.

Key details:

  • Explicit versions (e.g., "20", "20.10.0", or "20.x"): Most reliable for reproducibility. You control exactly what Node.js version your workflow will use[2][3][6].
  • "lts/*": Installs the latest active LTS version. This is widely recommended for most production and CI uses because LTS releases are stable and receive security updates[3][4][6]. However, "lts/*" occasionally lags behind by a few days due to runner cache lag or mirrors not updating instantly[10].
  • "latest": Documentation and examples indicate you can use "latest" as a value for node-version, and it will install the most recent Node.js release (including non-LTS versions)[2][6]. However, this means you may get unstable, pre-release, or major breaking versions, and it could produce non-reproducible build results in CI over time.
  • Usage Example: 
    - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: 'latest'      # Or 'lts/*', '20', '20.x', etc.
  • check-latest input: Helps control whether to fetch the very latest available version, rather than the cached version. "lts/*" can sometimes install a cached version slightly behind the official latest if check-latest is not true[1][10].
Specifier Installs Recommended for CI? Notes
explicit (e.g., "20.10.0") locked specific version Yes Best for reproducibility
"20.x" (range) latest minor/patch in 20.x Yes Reproducible within 20.x line
"lts/*" latest active LTS version Yes Occasionally slightly lagged due to cache; use with check-latest: true for more up-to-date installs[10]
"latest" absolute latest Node.js version No May fetch unstable pre-releases; not recommended for most production/CI

Official documentation also recommends against using "latest" for CI for production or release builds because it can unexpectedly break due to major or unstable updates[3][4].

Summary:
Use explicit versions or "lts/*" (with possible use of check-latest: true for maximum freshness) for CI reproducibility. Using "latest" is technically supported but is not recommended except for fringe use cases or development where constant tracking of cutting-edge Node.js is intentional[2][3][6][10].

Citations:

Action: Stop treating "latest" as unsupported — prefer explicit versions or "lts/*" for CI stability.

actions/setup-node does accept "latest", but using it in CI risks non-reproducible or unstable builds (it can pull non-LTS or breaking releases). Prefer explicit versions or "lts/" (use check-latest: true if you rely on lts/ and want the freshest LTS).

  • Location to update:
    • .github/workflows/yarn-test.yml — lines 23-32 (setup-node uses node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}). Also update the strategy.matrix.node-version where it's defined.

Suggested changes (pick one):

  • Replace "latest" with explicit supported versions:
-        node-version: [18.x, 20.x, latest]
+        node-version: [18.x, 20.x, 22.x]
  • Or use LTS instead of "latest":
-        node-version: [18.x, 20.x, latest]
+        node-version: [18.x, 20.x, 'lts/*']
  • If using lts/*, add check-latest to reduce runner-cache lag:
       - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
         uses: actions/setup-node@v4
         with:
           node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
-          cache: npm
+          check-latest: true    # recommended when using 'lts/*'
+          cache: npm

Summary: The original warning that "latest" may not be recognized is inaccurate — it is supported — but changing away from "latest" is recommended for CI stability.

.github/workflows/yarn-test.yml around lines 23 to 32: the workflow currently
relies on potentially unstable "latest" Node versions via matrix.node-version
and passes that to actions/setup-node; update the matrix.node-version entries to
use explicit supported Node versions (e.g., "18.x", "20.x") or use "lts/*"
instead of "latest", and modify the actions/setup-node step to pass that value
and (if you choose "lts/*") add with: check-latest: true to minimize
runner-cache lag; ensure any other occurrences of "latest" in the file are
replaced accordingly for CI stability.

In README.md around line 3, the sentence saying "no-op documentation tweak" is
now inaccurate because this PR modifies CI workflows (see
