⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Verify that dotnet restore succeeds before committing.

The workflow commits and pushes lock file changes without explicitly verifying that dotnet restore succeeded. If restore fails or completes partially, corrupted lock files could be committed. Consider adding error handling or a success check.

      - run: dotnet restore --force-evaluate
+        id: restore
+      - if: failure()
+        run: echo "dotnet restore failed" && exit 1

.github/workflows/dependabot-packagelock-update.yml lines 23-23: the workflow
runs `dotnet restore --force-evaluate` but does not explicitly prevent
subsequent commit/push if restore fails; ensure the commit step only runs when
restore succeeds by adding an explicit failure check or gating the commit on the
restore step's success (for example, make the restore step fail the job on
non-zero exit and add `if: ${{ success() }}` to the commit/push step or add a
follow-up step that verifies the restore exit status and exits 1 on failure) so
corrupted or partial lockfiles are never committed.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add error handling for git push and verify push succeeds.

The git push command (line 36) runs without error handling. If the push fails (e.g., due to permission issues or conflicts), the workflow will fail, but there's no explicit feedback. Additionally, the push command doesn't specify the remote or branch, relying on implicit defaults.

For clarity and safety, consider:

  • Specifying the remote and branch explicitly.
  • Adding error handling to catch and report push failures clearly.

.github/workflows/dependabot-packagelock-update.yml lines 30-36: the workflow
currently runs `git push` with no explicit remote/branch and no handling of push
failures; update the step to push explicitly to the intended remote and branch
(e.g., `origin` and the current branch or a known branch name) and add error
handling around the push so failures are detected and reported—capture the push
exit status and echo a clear error message then exit non‑zero if the push fails
(optionally retry once before failing).
