This week was a full-on dependency maintenance blitz spanning an impressive breadth of the portfolio. With 227 commits across more than 20 repositories — covering JavaScript, Rust, Ruby, Java, and Kotlin projects — the week read less like feature development and more like a disciplined gardening session: keep everything green, keep everything current. The one standout non-dependency commit was a fix in mdts for ESM compatibility with commander 15, which jumped to ESM-only and required loading via dynamic import.
The volume was striking even by maintenance standards. Monday kicked off at 34 commits, then Tuesday erupted with 108 — a clear burst day where the bulk of the mdts and splashboard dependency wave landed. The rest of the week held steady between 37 and 58 commits per day, suggesting a deliberate, paced review-and-merge rhythm rather than a single frantic session. The 56 approvals logged across repos from unhappychoice/mdts to deariary/github-weekly-reporter tell the same story: this was systematic, wide-coverage upkeep.
The breadth of repos touched is what makes this week notable — from TUI Rust apps like splashboard and kobito, to the Electron trading tool cycle-flyer, to Android libraries like RxSnackbar and DroidFlyer. Nothing was left behind. It's the kind of week that doesn't ship headlines but keeps the entire ecosystem healthy and unblocked.

The one real code change: ESM compatibility in mdts
Buried in the dependency avalanche was a genuine fix: commander jumped to v15.0.0, which is now ESM-only, and mdts needed a 'fix: load commander via dynamic import for ESM compatibility' commit to keep the CLI working. This is exactly the kind of breaking change that slips through unnoticed in a patch bump — catching it and shipping the fix in the same week as the dependency bump was clean execution. It's a small change in lines but meaningful for anyone actually running the mdts CLI.

20+ repos touched, mdts leading the charge
unhappychoice/mdts was the busiest repo at 14 PRs, covering typescript-eslint, webpack, webpack-cli, mermaid, and more across both root and /packages/frontend workspaces — a monorepo that generates double the dependency surface. unhappychoice/splashboard followed with 7 Rust crate bumps including a notable gix 0.84→0.85 jump (a breaking bug-fix release) and a sync-llm-pricing chore. circleci-cli rounded out the top three with 6 Ruby gem updates including rugged and async.

Tuesday's 108-commit explosion dominated the week
The daily commit breakdown tells a clear story: a warm-up Monday (34), then a Tuesday surge of 108 that likely represents a batched merge session across mdts and splashboard. Wednesday through Saturday held a remarkably consistent 37–58 commit range, suggesting a deliberate daily review cadence rather than sporadic bursts. No true rest day appeared — even Sunday closed at 38 commits, keeping the streak alive all seven days.

review-summary
56 approvals across the entire portfolio
Every single review this week was an approval — 56 of them — spanning repos from unhappychoice/mdts (the most reviewed) to one-off approvals on deariary/github-weekly-reporter, irasutoya-tools/irasutoya, and unhappychoice/terminal_image. This is the review pattern of someone maintaining a large personal and org portfolio: Dependabot opens, owner reviews and approves, CI passes, merge. The two deariary/github-weekly-reporter approvals are a fun meta-touch — reviewing the tool that generates this very report.

Cross-org maintenance: circleci-tools, bitflyer-tools, irasutoya-tools, deariary
Beyond the personal unhappychoice/* repos, the week touched four external orgs. circleci-tools saw the most activity with circleci-cli (6 PRs) and CircleCI (2 PRs including a JUnit Platform and Gradle wrapper bump). bitflyer-tools got electron bumps in cycle-flyer, a rubocop update in bitflyer, and a Gradle wrapper in DroidFlyer. irasutoya-tools and deariary each got rubocop and npm dependency updates respectively. It's a wide maintenance footprint for a single developer.

Commander 15 dropped ESM-only support, which is a breaking change for any CommonJS-style loader. This PR was paired with a manual 'fix: load commander via dynamic import for ESM compatibility' commit — the only non-automated code change of the week, and an important one for the mdts CLI to keep functioning.

The gix 0.85.0 bump was categorized as a bug-fix breaking release, and at +67/-86 lines it was the largest single lockfile change in the Rust repos this week. Keeping splashboard on the latest gitoxide is important for correctness in git operations.

mdts renders Mermaid diagrams as part of its Markdown-to-TypeScript pipeline, so keeping mermaid current is directly user-facing. The 11.16.0 minor bump brought new diagram features that mdts users get for free.

Merge pull request #286 from unhappychoice/chore/sync-llm-pricing
unhappychoice/splashboard · merged this week
The one non-dependency PR in the splashboard batch: syncing LLM pricing data, which suggests splashboard tracks or displays AI model costs as part of its dashboard functionality. A small but genuinely functional update in an otherwise dependency-heavy week.
