+## Making changes
+
+### Tests
+
+Whenever possible, changes should be accompanied by non-trivial tests that meaningfully exercise the core functionality of the new code being introduced.
+
+All tests are in the `Test/` directory at the repo root. Fast unit tests are in the `Test/L0` directory and by convention have the suffix `L0.cs`. For example: unit tests for a hypothetical `src/Runner.Worker/Foo.cs` would go in `src/Test/L0/Worker/FooL0.cs`.
+
+Run tests using this command:
+
+```sh
+cd src && ./dev.sh test
+```
+
+### Formatting
+
+After editing .cs files, always format the code using this command:
+
+```sh
+cd src && ./dev.sh format
+```
+
+### Feature Flags
+
+Wherever possible, all changes should be safeguarded by a feature flag; `Features` are declared in [Constants.cs](src/Runner.Common/Constants.cs).

+
+          ⚠️ **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

+          This update applies important security patches but causes build failures that require manual fixes.
+          
+          **Changes made:**
+          - Applied `npm audit fix --force` to resolve security vulnerabilities
+          - Updated package-lock.json with security patches
+          
+          **⚠️ Build Issues Detected:**
+          The build fails after applying security fixes, likely due to TypeScript compatibility issues with updated `@types/node`.
+          
+          **Required Manual Fixes:**
+          1. Review TypeScript compilation errors in the build output
+          2. Update TypeScript configuration if needed
+          3. Consider pinning `@types/node` to a compatible version
+          4. Run `npm run all` locally to verify fixes
+          
+          **Next steps:**
+          - **DO NOT merge until build issues are resolved**

-## Contribute
+### Note
 
-We accept contributions in the form of issues and pull requests. 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. [Read more about our guidelines here](docs/contribute.md) before contributing.
+Thank you for your interest in this GitHub repo, however, right now we are not taking contributions. 
+
+We continue to focus our resources on strategic areas that help our customers be successful while making developers' lives easier. While GitHub Actions remains a key part of this vision, we are allocating resources towards other areas of Actions and are not taking contributions to this repository at this time. The GitHub public roadmap is the best place to follow along for any updates on features we’re working on and what stage they’re in.
+
+We are taking the following steps to better direct requests related to GitHub Actions, including:
+
+1. We will be directing questions and support requests to our [Community Discussions area](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/actions)
+
+2. High Priority bugs can be reported through Community Discussions or you can report these to our support team https://support.github.com/contact/bug-report.
+
+3. Security Issues should be handled as per our [security.md](security.md)
+
+We will still provide security updates for this project and fix major breaking changes during this time.
+
+You are welcome to still raise bugs in this repo.

docs/adrs/0276-problem-matchers.md

@@ -250,6 +250,42 @@ Two problem matchers can be used:
 }
 ```
 
+#### Default from path
+
+The problem matcher can specify a `fromPath` property at the top level, which applies when a specific pattern doesn't provide a value for `fromPath`. This is useful for tools that don't include project file information in their output.
+
+For example, given the following compiler output that doesn't include project file information:
+
+```
+ClassLibrary.cs(16,24): warning CS0612: 'ClassLibrary.Helpers.MyHelper.Name' is obsolete
+```
+
+A problem matcher with a default from path can be used:
+
+```json
+{
+    "problemMatcher": [
+        {
+            "owner": "csc-minimal",
+            "fromPath": "ClassLibrary/ClassLibrary.csproj",
+            "pattern": [
+                {
+                    "regexp": "^(.+)\\((\\d+),(\\d+)\\): (error|warning) (.+): (.*)$",
+                    "file": 1,
+                    "line": 2,
+                    "column": 3,

+                }
+            ]
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+This ensures that the file is rooted to the correct path when there's not enough information in the error messages to extract a `fromPath`.

 #### Mitigate regular expression denial of service (ReDos)
 
 If a matcher exceeds a 1 second timeout when processing a line, retry up to two three times total.

 > 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)

-**Warning:** Windows arm64 runners are currently in preview status and use [unofficial versions of nodejs](https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/). They are not intended for production workflows.
 
 We recommend configuring the runner in a root folder of the Windows drive (e.g. "C:\actions-runner"). This will help avoid issues related to service identity folder permissions and long file path restrictions on Windows.
