Updating packages

@drawnagency packages follow a 0.1.x version range. Client sites use "^0.1.0" in package.json, which under semver 0.x rules means >=0.1.0 <0.2.0 — only patch releases are picked up automatically; a jump to 0.2.0 would require a manual update.

Automatic updates via Renovate

Client sites ship with renovate.json pre-configured. Renovate opens a pull request when a new @drawnagency patch version is published. The configured behavior:

• rangeStrategy: "bump" — Renovate bumps the version floor in package.json (e.g. ^0.1.4 → ^0.1.5) rather than leaving a range that could be satisfied by a stale version.
• minimumReleaseAge: "3 days" — Renovate waits three days after a new version is published before opening the PR, providing a buffer to catch and retract a bad publish before it reaches client sites.
• automerge: true — Renovate merges the PR automatically once CI passes.

This means most updates reach the site within three days of publication without any manual action.

Forcing an immediate update

To update @drawnagency packages right now, run from the client repo root:

pnpm update "@drawnagency/*"
git add package.json pnpm-lock.yaml
git commit -m "chore: update @drawnagency packages"
git push

Netlify picks up the push and deploys the updated site.

Always commit the lockfile

Netlify installs with a frozen lockfile. The committed pnpm-lock.yaml is the exact set of packages that will be installed — if you update package.json without updating and committing pnpm-lock.yaml, the Netlify build will fail with a lockfile mismatch error.

Always commit package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml together.

Version range rules

The ^0.1.0 range will not pick up a 0.2.0 or later release. If a future breaking change requires moving to 0.2.x, update the range in package.json manually:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@drawnagency/core": "^0.2.0",
    "@drawnagency/primitives": "^0.2.0"
  }
}

Then run pnpm install and commit both files. Check the release notes for migration steps before updating across a minor-version boundary.
