The euphoria of finding the perfect double entendre for your primitive

A query using the `nave build` command to build a template with "holes" (variables), narrowed to the subtree of a GitHub Actions workflow YAML where there is both the string "maturin-action" in a node and a "with.command = upload" node

Implemented query by precise path match (`with.command = upload`) in addition to coarse string match ("maturin-action"), with a flag to narrow the template result to just the subtree containing both rather than entire file

et voilà, structural config search 👨‍🍳

I'm not following, Vercel was hacked via MCP?

Tweet: Vercel has reportedly been breached by ShinyHunters. As of now, nobody else appears to be posting about this, so I’m sharing what I have. Here is the information I’ve gathered, along with screenshots provided by ShinyHunters.

Separate CI test legs for --frozen and --upgrade --resolution lowest-direct

MCP Python SDK does this github.com/modelcontext...

When publishing libraries, it is recommended to separately run tests with --resolution lowest or --resolution lowest-direct in continuous integration to ensure compatibility with the declared lower bounds.

Apparently this should go in CI as a separate matrix leg docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/...

Need to learn the ways of `uv sync --resolution=lowest-direct`

There’s definitely an argument that GitHub Notifications inbox-like design (a single feed with filters) has all the drawbacks of an email inbox, making things easier to miss

User reports, dependency update bots, long-running discussions, (…) all go in one undifferentiated mass
