Glab Dependency Firewall

glab dependency-firewall

Inspect GitLab Dependency Firewall activity for local package-manager workflows. The current command group is marked experimental, and the verified release binary exposes ci-summary only; do not rely on older configure examples unless live help on the target machine still lists them.

Quick start

# Summarize the current working directory's Dependency Firewall CI log
glab dependency-firewall ci-summary

Summarize CI activity

ci-summary reads .gitlab/df/ci-log.json relative to the current working directory. Run it from the same directory as the package-manager/Dependency Firewall operation that produced the log.

if glab dependency-firewall ci-summary; then
  echo "No blocked dependency entries"
else
  rc=$?
  case "$rc" in
    1) echo "Dependency Firewall log could not be read" >&2 ;;
    3) echo "Dependency Firewall blocked one or more packages" >&2 ;;
    *) echo "Unexpected Dependency Firewall failure: $rc" >&2 ;;
  esac
  exit "$rc"
fi

Exit codes:

• 0: no blocked entries; allow-only, warnings-only, or no recorded activity.
• 1: the log could not be read or parsed.
• 3: one or more entries were blocked.

Treat exit 3 as a policy result, not a transient command failure. Surface the blocked package, version, and reason; do not bypass the policy or rewrite the log. Treat warnings as review input even though they do not fail the command.

Troubleshooting

No activity is reported:

• Confirm .gitlab/df/ci-log.json exists under the current working directory used for the command.
• Do not assume a log in a repository root applies when the package manager ran in a nested workspace.

A configure example fails:

• glab dependency-firewall configure is not exposed by the verified current release binary.
• Re-check glab dependency-firewall --help on the target machine before using older docs or scripts.

Unsupported package manager:

• The current visible command surface does not configure package managers.
• Do not invent configuration for another manager; check live help or official docs for the target glab/GitLab version.
