Erich Blume 63263abb97 Switch git hooks from pre-commit to prek
prek is a faster, Rust-native drop-in replacement for pre-commit.
Migrates config from .pre-commit-config.yaml to prek.toml, adds
built-in checks for case conflicts, private key detection, and
executable shebangs. Updates all doc references.

Update Tooling Dependencies

Monthly maintenance cycle for updating development tooling and CI dependencies. This is separate from review-services, which tracks deployed service versions.

Scope

Category Location What to check
Prek hooks prek.toml rev: tags for all remote repos
Fly.io proxy fly/Dockerfile Pinned image tags (nginx, alloy)
Mise task scripts mise-tasks/* Python # dependencies lower bounds
Forgejo workflows .forgejo/workflows/*.yaml uses: action versions

Out of scope: ArgoCD-deployed service images, Ansible role versions, NixOS flake inputs. Those are covered by review-services and manage-lockfile.

Procedure

1. Check prek hook versions

For each repo in prek.toml with a rev = value, check the upstream GitHub releases page for a newer tag. Update each rev to the latest release tag. Also check additional_dependencies entries for PyPI version bumps.

Verify after updating:

prek run --all-files

2. Check Fly.io Dockerfile pins

Review fly/Dockerfile for pinned image tags:

  • nginx — check Docker Hub for latest stable alpine tag
  • grafana/alloy — check GitHub releases
  • tailscale/tailscale — uses stable rolling tag, no action needed

After updating, the deploy-fly workflow will build and deploy on merge to main. Verify with fly status -a blumeops-proxy after deploy.

3. Normalize mise task dependency bounds

Mise tasks use uv run --script with inline PEP 723 dependency metadata. Check that lower bounds are consistent across all scripts:

grep -r 'dependencies' mise-tasks/ | grep '# dependencies'

Ensure all scripts using the same package agree on the minimum version. When a package has a new major or breaking minor release, bump the lower bound across all scripts at once.

4. Pin Forgejo workflow action versions

All uses: directives in .forgejo/workflows/*.yaml must reference upstream actions by commit SHA, not mutable tags. This prevents supply-chain attacks where a tag is moved to point at malicious code.

Format: uses: actions/checkout@<full-sha> # v4.3.1

The trailing comment documents the human-readable version. To update:

git ls-remote --tags https://github.com/actions/checkout.git 'refs/tags/v4*' | sort -t/ -k3 -V | tail -5

Pick the latest patch tag, note its SHA, and update all occurrences across the workflow files.

5. Commit and create PR

Create a single PR with all dependency bumps. The changelog fragment type is infra.

Notes

  • Alloy version gaps: Grafana Alloy releases frequently. Large version jumps (e.g., v1.5 to v1.13) are normal and generally safe — check the changelog for breaking changes in the Alloy River config syntax.
  • Ruff minor bumps: Ruff adds new lint rules in minor versions. A bump may surface new warnings. Run prek run ruff --all-files to check before committing.
  • shellcheck bumps: New shellcheck versions may flag previously-ignored patterns. Review any new failures before updating.
