Summary

Learn installs the published @netdata/netlify-plugin-indexnow package instead of a copy of the plugin checked in under plugins/netlify-plugin-indexnow/. A Dependabot update of @netlify/blobs or saxes is then an ordinary yarn.lock change. It no longer fails the Netlify build on the vendor contract.

 netlify.toml, static.toml
-  package = "./plugins/netlify-plugin-indexnow"
+  package = "@netdata/netlify-plugin-indexnow"
 build:netlify
   verify-git-history
-  verify-indexnow-vendor                         # pins checked in five places, SHA-256 of six files
   docusaurus build
   run-post-build-gates
 package.json
-  dependencies: "@netlify/blobs": "11.1.4", "saxes": "6.0.0"
+  devDependencies: "@netdata/netlify-plugin-indexnow": "^1.0.0"          # brings both as ^ ranges
 plugins/
-└── netlify-plugin-indexnow/      # 8 files incl. vendor-checksums.json
 scripts/
-└── verify-indexnow-vendor.js

The plugin's behavior, inputs (host, key, keyLocation) and receipt schema are unchanged.

  • Source and versioning: the package is published from netdata/website (plugins/netlify-plugin-indexnow/).
  • Tests: tests/indexnow_plugin.test.js runs the owner suite, with Learn's host and build directory, against the installed package. deploymentIntegrations.test.js checks that both TOML files name the package and that it is a dev dependency.
  • Docs: README.md "Dependency update authority" no longer claims owner-controlled packages are excluded from automatic updates, which dependabot.yml never did.

Evidence

  • Before: a Dependabot bump changes only the root pin and fails in the second step of build:netlify:

    IndexNow vendor verification failed: IndexNow dependency @netlify/blobs must be pinned to 11.1.4 in both package files
    exit=1
    

    Bump @netlify/blobs from 11.0.1 to 11.1.3 #3080 (@netlify/blobs 11.0.1 → 11.1.3) shows this in practice: it stayed open for a month and was closed as superseded by Consolidate Learn dependencies and runtime updates #3136.

    After: yarn.lock holds @netlify/blobs@^11.1.4 and saxes@^6.0.0 under the package; no file pins them exactly.

  • Tests: yarn test:run passes: Vitest 494 passed and 1 skipped, plus the first-touch (26), IndexNow (64), Swagger UI assets (3), dependency-authority (3) and site-build-gate (4) suites.

  • Package: 1.0.0 was released from netdata/website#1421 by its publish workflow. Apart from version and one README sentence, it is byte-identical to 1.0.0-test.0, which this PR was first tested against. yarn.lock changes only the package entry and the two re-keyed dependency entries.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Reverting this PR restores the vendored copy, its verify step and the root pins exactly.

Blast Radius: deploys

  • Every Netlify build loads the plugin. If the package couldn't be installed or loaded, every deploy would fail, including ingest. A plugin error at deploy time is only logged and never fails the deploy; submissions run only on production.
  • Left unchanged on purpose: config/seo-remediation-contract.json still names plugins/netlify-plugin-indexnow, because it's a frozen historical acceptance record.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Netlify builds now use the published IndexNow integration package instead of a repository-local copy.
    • The package is managed through the website’s standard dependency updates.
    • Updated integration checks to verify the published package configuration.

📝 Walkthrough

The repository now installs and configures the published IndexNow package. Tests reference that package and check its configuration and contract metadata. The local plugin implementation, its contract and receipt files, and its vendor verifier were removed.

Changes: IndexNow package migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and test the published package
package.json, netlify.toml, static.toml, tests/indexnow_plugin.test.js, src/seo/deploymentIntegrations.test.js, README.md
The root dependency graph and both Netlify configurations reference @netdata/netlify-plugin-indexnow. Tests import the package and check its dependency, configuration, and contract-test metadata. Dependency guidance now identifies the published package and its owner.
Remove the vendored implementation and verifier
plugins/netlify-plugin-indexnow/*, scripts/verify-indexnow-vendor.js, package.json
The local plugin implementation, manifest, contract fixture, receipt schema, checksum manifest, and README were removed. The verifier script and its build command were also removed.

Pin the IndexNow build plugin to an exact version.

^1.0.0 permits a future lockfile refresh to select a later 1.x release. The current yarn.lock resolves 1.0.0 for frozen installs, but it does not constrain future refreshes. Use 1.0.0.
