Summary (AI generated)

  • Fixed capgo doctor outdated-dependency detection to compare per-package versions instead of JSON.stringify (eliminates false positives).
  • Added interactive recovery: show have→want table, prompt to update @capgo/* only or all listed packages, run package-manager install, re-check.
  • On success: track CLI Recovered Outdated Dependencies analytics event.
  • On decline/cancel/failure/non-interactive: still throws new Error('Some dependencies are not up to date') (not CliUserError).
  • Honors --package-json for both detection and recovery; supports comma-separated multi-manifest paths with per-directory installs.
  • Shared deps declared in multiple manifests are updated in every declaring directory.
  • Install hints use platform-aware quoting: POSIX single-quote escaping on Unix, cd /d "..." on Windows cmd.

Motivation (AI generated)

PostHog shows ~95 users hit CLI Error with Some dependencies are not up to date in the last 7 days. Many are false positives from stringify comparison or users who would fix deps if prompted interactively (same pattern as PR #3184).

Business Impact (AI generated)

Reduces spurious doctor failures and CLI friction during onboarding/troubleshooting. Users can self-recover outdated deps without leaving the CLI flow.

Test Plan (AI generated)

  • bunx tsc --noEmit in cli/
  • bun run test:doctor-analytics in cli/
  • All review threads resolved (verified via gh api graphql, unresolved_count=0)
  • CI green on head commit 5914bf1ee (Run CLI tests + Run Capgo CLI integration tests pass)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added dependency health checks that identify outdated packages and distinguish supported packages from others.
    • Doctor now offers options to update supported dependencies, update all dependencies, or skip updates.
    • Added analytics covering dependency status and update counts.
    • Added clearer recovery guidance, including command output and manual instructions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved outdated-dependency detection, including missing, newly detected, and mixed-version packages.
    • Doctor now refreshes dependency information after updates.

Replace JSON.stringify outdated check with per-package comparison to
avoid false positives when latest version lookups fail. Add interactive
recovery that updates @capgo/* packages (with optional full update) and
tracks CLI Recovered Outdated Dependencies on success.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Doctor now detects outdated dependencies with explicit comparisons, offers interactive recovery, runs selected package-manager updates, refreshes dependency data, and reports unresolved failures. Exported helpers and tests cover detection, partitioning, selection, commands, and analytics.

Changes

Doctor dependency recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency comparison and update contracts
cli/src/app/info.ts, cli/test/test-doctor-analytics.mjs
Exported helpers resolve project roots, select package managers, identify outdated dependencies, partition update scopes, build install commands, and calculate analytics. Tests cover missing keys, extra keys, mixed versions, update choices, project roots, and npm commands.
Package-manager update execution
cli/src/app/info.ts
Selected packages run from the resolved project root. Empty selections are skipped. Failures include exit status and captured command output.
Doctor recovery and refreshed discovery
cli/src/app/info.ts
Doctor prompts for dependency recovery, updates selected packages, re-fetches dependency data after success, reports remaining outdated dependencies, and raises the shared error when recovery fails or is skipped.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6e8b6

Interactive doctor recovery can update dependencies in the wrong manifest for multi-manifest projects, leaving recovery unsuccessful, while the accompanying test module cannot load and update failures expose raw exception text. These bounded correctness and validation issues should be fixed before merging.

Addressed in 6e8b6e8:

  • maybeRecoverOutdatedDependencies now returns { recovered, remainingOutdated } and uses stillOutdated for warnings + throwOutdatedDependenciesError.
  • --package-json is passed through getInstalledDependencies() / getAllPackagesDependencies(projectRoot, packageJson); project root uses the first comma-separated path; PM is detected via getPMAndCommandForDir(projectRoot).

230-244: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Update dependencies in their owning manifest context.

With multiple --package-json paths, dependency discovery aggregates entries from every manifest. This code selects only the first manifest directory and runs every update there. A dependency declared only in a later manifest is not updated in its owning manifest. The re-check can then fail after the user selects all.

Retain package-to-manifest ownership and update each owning manifest or disable interactive recovery for multiple manifests.
