Summary

This PR updates actions/upload-artifact from v5 to v6 across all workflow jobs in .github/workflows/check.yml. The changes are straightforward and consistent.

Code Quality ✅

• Consistency: All 6 instances of actions/upload-artifact have been updated consistently from v5 to v6
• Pattern: The changes follow a uniform pattern across all jobs (build-debug, android-lint, detekt, konsist, spotless, unit-test)
• Clean diff: No unintended changes or formatting issues

Potential Concerns ⚠️

1. Breaking Changes in v6

The actions/upload-artifact@v6 action introduced several breaking changes that should be verified:

• Artifact naming: v6 changed how artifact names are handled and may require unique names across workflows
• Download compatibility: Artifacts uploaded with v6 may not be downloadable with actions/download-artifact@v5 - ensure any download actions are also updated
• Merge behavior: v6 changed the default merge behavior for artifacts with the same name

Recommendation:

• Verify that no workflows use actions/download-artifact that would need corresponding updates
• Review the v6 migration guide for any workflow-specific impacts

2. Missing Update in Commented Code

Line 172 in check.yml contains a commented-out upload-artifact action still referencing v4:

#      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4

Recommendation: While this is commented out, consider updating it to v6 for consistency if this UI test job will be re-enabled in the future.

Security Considerations ✅

• The update is from a trusted GitHub Actions official action
• Version pinning to major version (v6) is acceptable for GitHub Actions
• No security regressions expected from this dependency update

Performance Considerations ✅

• v6 includes performance improvements over v5, particularly for large artifacts
• Uses the new artifact backend which should be faster and more reliable
• No negative performance impact expected

Test Coverage ✅

• The PR will trigger all CI checks automatically (build-debug, android-lint, detekt, konsist, spotless, unit-test)
• All artifact upload locations will be tested by the existing workflow runs
• The updated action's functionality will be validated by successful artifact uploads in CI

Additional Notes

• This appears to be an automated Renovate bot PR, which is good practice for dependency management
• The repository has auto-approve configured for renovate bot PRs, which is appropriate for low-risk dependency updates like this
• All artifact paths remain unchanged, which is correct

Recommendation: ✅ APPROVE with Minor Note

This is a safe, well-scoped dependency update. The changes are minimal and consistent. I recommend:

1. Approve and merge this PR - the update is low risk and beneficial
2. Monitor the first workflow run after merge to ensure all artifacts upload successfully
3. (Optional) Update line 172 to v6 even though it's commented out, for future consistency

Overview

This PR updates actions/upload-artifact from v5 to v6 across all jobs in the CI workflow. This is an automated dependency update by Renovate.

Code Quality and Best Practices ✅

• Consistency: All 6 instances of upload-artifact@v5 have been consistently updated to v6
• Scope: Changes are limited to the necessary updates only
• Pattern: The update follows a clean, systematic approach across all jobs (build-debug, android-lint, detekt, konsist, spotless, unit-test)

Potential Issues and Considerations ⚠️

Breaking Changes to Verify:
The upload-artifact v6 action typically includes breaking changes from v5. Key areas to verify:

1. Artifact Naming: v6 may have stricter requirements or different behavior for artifact names. All current names appear simple and should work:

   • app-debug
   • android-lint-report
   • detekt-report
   • konsist-report
   • spotless-report
   • unit-test-report

2. Path Patterns: Verify that glob patterns in path fields still work correctly. The workflow uses various glob patterns like:

   • .github/workflows/check.yml:61-63 - Multi-line path patterns for lint reports
   • .github/workflows/check.yml:87-92 - Multiple detekt report paths
   • .github/workflows/check.yml:199-202 - Multiple test report paths

3. Artifact Retention: v6 may have different default retention policies - verify this aligns with your needs.

4. Compression: v6 uses a different compression algorithm which may affect artifact size and download times.

Performance Considerations 🚀

• Positive: v6 typically offers improved upload speeds and better compression
• Watch for: First run may show different artifact sizes due to compression changes
• No concerns: The usage patterns (conditional uploads with if: always()) are appropriate and unchanged

Security Concerns 🔒

• Action Pinning: Currently using tag-based pinning (@v6). Consider:

  • ✅ Acceptable: Tag pinning is reasonable for well-maintained official GitHub actions
  • 🔐 More Secure: Could use commit SHA pinning for maximum security (e.g., @abc123...)
  • This is a project decision based on your security requirements

• No new security risks introduced by this change itself

Test Coverage ✅

• Existing Coverage: The workflow includes comprehensive checks (lint, detekt, konsist, spotless, unit tests)
• Recommendation: Monitor the first workflow run after merge to ensure:
  • All artifacts upload successfully
  • Artifact contents are complete and accessible
  • No new warnings or errors appear in the workflow logs
  • Downloaded artifacts can be extracted and used normally

Additional Recommendations 📋

1. Verify CI Status: Ensure all workflow checks pass after this update
2. Commented Code: Note that UI tests (lines 147-175) are commented out and still reference @v4. If/when re-enabled, these should be updated to match the current version
3. Monitor First Run: Pay special attention to the artifact upload steps in the first successful run
4. Changelog: v6 release notes should be reviewed for any additional behavioral changes specific to your use cases

Verdict 👍

APPROVED - This is a clean, systematic dependency update that follows best practices. The changes are minimal and focused. Recommend merging after verifying CI checks pass.

The Renovate bot has done a thorough job updating all instances. Just ensure you monitor the first workflow run to catch any unexpected behavioral changes from the v5→v6 migration.
