-          This workflow attempts to automatically fix TypeScript compatibility issues that may arise from npm audit fixes.
-
-          ⚠️ **Manual Review Required**: The build is currently failing after automated fixes were attempted.
-
-          Common issues and solutions:
-          - Check for TypeScript version compatibility with Node.js types
-          - Review breaking changes in updated dependencies
-          - Consider pinning problematic dependency versions temporarily
-          - Review tsconfig.json for compatibility settings
-
-          **Automated Fix Strategy**:
-          1. Run npm audit fix with proper error handling
-          2. Update @types/node to latest compatible version
-          3. Try Node 20 specific @types/node version if needed
-          4. Clean reinstall dependencies if conflicts persist
-          5. Update TypeScript compiler if necessary

-          **Changes made:**

-          **Required Manual Fixes:**
-          1. Review TypeScript compilation errors in the build output

-          4. Run `npm run all` locally to verify fixes
-          
-          **Next steps:**
-          - **DO NOT merge until build issues are resolved**
-          - Apply manual fixes for TypeScript compatibility

 We welcome contributions in the form of issues and pull requests. We view the contributions and the process as the same for github and external contributors. Please note the runner typically requires changes across the entire system and we aim for issues in the runner to be entirely self contained and fixable here. Therefore, we will primarily handle bug issues opened in this repo and we kindly request you to create all feature and enhancement requests on the [GitHub Feedback](https://github.com/community/community/discussions/categories/actions-and-packages) page. 
 
 > IMPORTANT: Building your own runner is critical for the dev inner loop process when contributing changes.  However, only runners built and distributed by GitHub (releases) are supported in production.  Be aware that workflows and orchestrations run service side with the runner being a remote process to run steps.  For that reason, the service can pull the runner forward so customizations can be lost.

-# Runner Dependency Management Process
-
-## Overview
-
-This document outlines the automated dependency management process for the GitHub Actions Runner, designed to ensure we maintain up-to-date and secure dependencies while providing predictable release cycles.
-
-## Release Schedule
-
-- **Monthly Runner Releases**: New runner versions are released monthly
-- **Weekly Dependency Checks**: Automated workflows check for dependency updates every Monday
-- **Security Patches**: Critical security vulnerabilities are addressed immediately outside the regular schedule
-
-## Automated Workflows
-
-**Note**: These workflows are implemented across separate PRs for easier review and independent deployment. Each workflow includes comprehensive error handling and security-focused vulnerability detection.
-
-### 1. Foundation Labels
-
-- **Workflow**: `.github/workflows/setup-labels.yml` (PR #4024)
-- **Purpose**: Creates consistent dependency labels for all automation workflows
-- **Labels**: `dependencies`, `security`, `typescript`, `needs-manual-review`
-- **Prerequisite**: Must be merged before other workflows for proper labeling
-
-### 2. Node.js Version Updates
-
-- **Workflow**: `.github/workflows/node-upgrade.yml`
-- **Schedule**: Mondays at 6:00 AM UTC
-- **Purpose**: Updates Node.js 20 and 24 versions in `src/Misc/externals.sh`
-- **Source**: [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org) and [actions/alpine_nodejs](https://github.com/actions/alpine_nodejs)
-- **Priority**: First (NPM depends on current Node.js versions)
-
-### 3. NPM Security Audit
-
-- **Primary Workflow**: `.github/workflows/npm-audit.yml` ("NPM Audit Fix")
-  - **Schedule**: Mondays at 7:00 AM UTC
-  - **Purpose**: Automated security vulnerability detection and basic fixes
-  - **Location**: `src/Misc/expressionFunc/hashFiles/`
-  - **Features**: npm audit, security patch application, PR creation
-  - **Dependency**: Runs after Node.js updates for optimal compatibility
-
-- **Fallback Workflow**: `.github/workflows/npm-audit-typescript.yml` ("NPM Audit Fix with TypeScript Auto-Fix")
-  - **Trigger**: Manual dispatch only
-  - **Purpose**: Manual security audit with TypeScript compatibility fixes
-  - **Use Case**: When scheduled workflow fails or needs custom intervention
-  - **Features**: Enhanced TypeScript auto-repair, graduated security response
-  - **How to Use**:
-    1. If the scheduled "NPM Audit Fix" workflow fails, go to Actions tab
-    2. Select "NPM Audit Fix with TypeScript Auto-Fix" workflow
-    3. Click "Run workflow" and optionally specify fix level (auto/manual)
-    4. Review the generated PR for TypeScript compatibility issues
-
-### 4. .NET SDK Updates
-
-- **Workflow**: `.github/workflows/dotnet-upgrade.yml`
-- **Schedule**: Mondays at midnight UTC
-- **Purpose**: Updates .NET SDK and package versions with build validation
-- **Features**: Global.json updates, NuGet package management, compatibility checking
-- **Independence**: Runs independently of Node.js/NPM updates
-
-### 5. Docker/Buildx Updates
-
-- **Workflow**: `.github/workflows/docker-buildx-upgrade.yml` ("Docker/Buildx Version Upgrade")
-- **Schedule**: Mondays at midnight UTC
-- **Purpose**: Updates Docker and Docker Buildx versions with multi-platform validation
-- **Features**: Container security scanning, multi-architecture build testing
-- **Independence**: Runs independently of other dependency updates
-
-### 6. Dependency Monitoring
-
-- **Workflow**: `.github/workflows/dependency-check.yml` ("Dependency Status Check")
-- **Schedule**: Mondays at 11:00 AM UTC
-- **Purpose**: Comprehensive status report of all dependencies with security audit
-- **Features**: Multi-dependency checking, npm audit status, build validation, choice of specific component checks
-- **Summary**: Runs last to capture results from all morning dependency updates
-
-## Release Process Integration
-
-### Pre-Release Checklist
-
-Before each monthly runner release:
-
-1. **Check Dependency PRs**:
-
-   ```bash
-   # List all open dependency PRs
-   gh pr list --label "dependencies" --state open
-   
-   # List only automated weekly dependency updates
-   gh pr list --label "dependencies-weekly-check" --state open
-   
-   # List only custom dependency automation (not dependabot)
-   gh pr list --label "dependencies-not-dependabot" --state open
-   ```
-
-2. **Run Manual Dependency Check**:
-   - Go to Actions tab → "Dependency Status Check" → "Run workflow"
-   - Review the summary for any outdated dependencies
-
-3. **Review and Merge Updates**:
-   - Prioritize security-related updates
-   - Test dependency updates in development environment
-   - Merge approved dependency PRs
-
-### Vulnerability Response
-
-#### Critical Security Vulnerabilities
-
-- **Response Time**: Within 24 hours
-- **Process**:
-  1. Assess impact on runner security
-  2. Create hotfix branch if runner data security is affected
-  3. Expedite patch release if necessary
-  4. Document in security advisory if applicable
-
-#### Non-Critical Vulnerabilities
-
-- **Response Time**: Next monthly release
-- **Process**:
-  1. Evaluate if vulnerability affects runner functionality
-  2. Include fix in regular dependency update cycle
-  3. Document in release notes
-
-## Monitoring and Alerts
-
-### GitHub Actions Workflow Status
-
-- All dependency workflows create PRs with the `dependencies` label
-- Failed workflows should be investigated immediately
-- Weekly dependency status reports are generated automatically
-
-### Manual Checks
-
-You can manually trigger dependency checks:
-
-- **Full Status**: Run "Dependency Status Check" workflow
-- **Specific Component**: Use the dropdown to check individual dependencies
-
-## Dependency Labels
-
-All automated dependency PRs are tagged with labels for easy filtering and management:
-
-### Primary Labels
-
-- **`dependencies`**: All automated dependency-related PRs
-- **`dependencies-weekly-check`**: Automated weekly dependency updates from scheduled workflows
-- **`dependencies-not-dependabot`**: Custom dependency automation (not created by dependabot)
-- **`security`**: Security vulnerability fixes and patches  
-- **`typescript`**: TypeScript compatibility and type definition updates
-- **`needs-manual-review`**: Complex updates requiring human verification
-
-### Technology-Specific Labels
-
-- **`node`**: Node.js version updates
-- **`javascript`**: JavaScript runtime and tooling updates
-- **`npm`**: NPM package and security updates
-- **`dotnet`**: .NET SDK and NuGet package updates
-- **`docker`**: Docker and container tooling updates
-
-### Workflow-Specific Branches
-
-- **Node.js updates**: `chore/update-node` branch
-- **NPM security fixes**: `chore/npm-audit-fix-YYYYMMDD` and `chore/npm-audit-fix-with-ts-repair` branches
-- **NuGet/.NET updates**: `feature/dotnetsdk-upgrade/{version}` branches
-- **Docker updates**: `feature/docker-buildx-upgrade` branch
-
-## Special Considerations
-
-### Node.js Updates
-
-When updating Node.js versions, remember to:
-
-1. Create a corresponding release in [actions/alpine_nodejs](https://github.com/actions/alpine_nodejs)
-2. Follow the alpine_nodejs getting started guide
-3. Test container builds with new Node versions
-
-### .NET SDK Updates
-
-- Only patch versions are auto-updated within the same major.minor version
-- Major/minor version updates require manual review and testing
-
-### Docker Updates
-
-- Updates include both Docker Engine and Docker Buildx
-- Verify compatibility with runner container workflows
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **NPM Audit Workflow Fails**:
-   - Check if `package.json` exists in `src/Misc/expressionFunc/hashFiles/`
-   - Verify Node.js setup step succeeded
-
-2. **Version Detection Fails**:
-   - Check if upstream APIs are available
-   - Verify parsing logic for version extraction
-
-3. **PR Creation Fails**:
-   - Ensure `GITHUB_TOKEN` has sufficient permissions
-   - Check if branch already exists
-
-### Contact
-
-For questions about the dependency management process:
-
-- Create an issue with the `dependencies` label
-- Review existing dependency management workflows
-- Consult the runner team for security-related concerns
-
-## Metrics and KPIs
-
-Track these metrics to measure dependency management effectiveness:
-
-- Number of open dependency PRs at release time
-- Time to merge dependency updates
-- Number of security vulnerabilities by severity
-- Release cycle adherence (monthly target)
