fix: wrap package names in backticks in PR summaries to prevent mentions by Nachiket-Roy · Pull Request #1572 · OWASP/cve-lite-cli

Nachiket-Roy · 2026-11-09T12:56:06Z

What changed and why

Wraps package names in backticks (- **@scope/pkg**: ...) in both the CLI (src/utils/create-pr.ts) and GitHub Action (action.yml) pull request bodies.

Context

When security fix PR bodies are generated, package names with scopes (e.g., @octokit/rest, @babel/core) formatted as bold text (**@scope/pkg**) cause GitHub to send unsolicited notification pings to user and organization accounts. Enclosing them in code backticks stops GitHub from parsing them as @mentions.

Verification

npm test -- tests/create-pr.test.ts tests/github-action.test.ts: all passed.
node scripts/typecheck-changed-tests.mjs upstream/main: clean (0 new errors).

Closes #1569

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Package names in fix pull request descriptions are now formatted as inline code for clearer distinction.

Fix-PR output now wraps package names in inline code in both the generated PR body and the action output. Tests check the formatting in each output.

Changes: Package formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Format package names in fix-PR output `src/utils/create-pr.ts`, `action.yml`, `tests/create-pr.test.ts`, `tests/github-action.test.ts`	The generated PR body and action output wrap package names in inline code. Tests check the formatting. The PR-body tests also update a mock parameter type and add an `incompletePolicy` option to a validation test.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: Low · up to 86803

Package-name formatting is ready with a small test-maintenance correction: restore the staging mock’s argument types. No introduced runtime failure is established.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title uses the required "fix: " prefix, lowercase after the colon, and no trailing period. It clearly states the main change: package names are wrapped in backticks in PR bodies to stop unintended mentions.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's "What changed and why" section and explains the change to the CLI and the GitHub Action. It gives context on why the change matters (scoped names as bold text trigger GitHub notification pings) and lists verification steps. It also includes "Closes #1569". The template's placeholder comment is still present, but this is minor and the section is filled in.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

I checked the diff from the merge base to the reviewed head. Issue #1569 has one coding requirement: enclose scoped package names in backticks inside the generated PR body and Action summary, in the form - @scope/pkg: ... Both places now use that form. In src/utils/create-pr.ts, buildPullRequestBody sets versionLine to - ${item.package}: followed by the version range. In action.yml, the jq expression that builds PKG_LINES emits the same form. The test changes in tests/create-pr.test.ts add an assertion that the body contains the backtick-wrapped scoped name and does not contain the unquoted form. The summary also reports a contract test in tests/github-action.test.ts for the Action body. I did not inspect that file directly, so that test rests on the summary only. The source changes meet the issue requirement without it.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

I checked issue #1569. It asks for backticks around scoped package names in PR bodies and Action summaries. The changed fixed-package entries use backticks in both the CLI and Action PR bodies. The Action job summary already uses code spans for package names.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The source changes in src/utils/create-pr.ts and action.yml, and the backtick assertion in tests/create-pr.test.ts, implement #1569. Two test edits in tests/create-pr.test.ts do not connect to that issue. First, the validation test for requires --fix for --create-pr now passes incompletePolicy warn. That option does not affect PR body formatting. Second, the dependency-staging spawn mock changes its parameters from (_command, args string array) to (_command any, args any). That change also does not relate to package name formatting. The PR description does not explain either edit. The verification note reports a clean typecheck, but it does not show that these edits were needed for it.

Resolution

Remove the incompletePolicy warn addition and the mock parameter typing change from tests/create-pr.test.ts. Keep them only if you can show that the changed tests need them to compile or pass. In that case, add a short note to the PR description that explains why. The source and backtick test changes can stay as they are.

Test the submitted fix PR body.

A body assembly regression could leave scoped package names unquoted and trigger mentions while this test passes. I suggest running the fix PR step with a scoped package and asserting the --body passed to gh.

Format the child package name as code in the PR body.

When a scoped child package matches a GitHub team, the parent-update note can notify that team. I recommend formatting the child name as a code span in the PR body and adding a scoped-child test.

Restore type checking for the staging mock.

With args: any, the staging test cannot type-check its argument checks. This also conflicts with CONTRIBUTING.md’s rule against silencing test type errors. I suggest typing spawnMock to match runCommand’s arguments.

Suggested fix

-const spawnMock = jest.fn(); +const spawnMock = jest.fn<(command: string, args: string[], options: { cwd: string; stdio: string[] }) => unknown>(); - spawnMock.mockImplementation((_command: any, args: any) => { + spawnMock.mockImplementation((_command, args) => {
