build: rebuild the asset pipeline on gulp 5, clear all 13 Dependabot alerts - #148
Merged

Conversation
The gulpfile used gulp 3's array-of-dependencies task signature
(`gulp.task('x', ['a','b'])`), which gulp 4 removed in 2018 while
package.json declared gulp 5.0.1. Every gulp invocation aborted at load
with "AssertionError: Task function must be specified", so no asset change
could be compiled. It also passed autoprefixer's `browsers` option, removed
in autoprefixer 4.
Rebuilt on gulp 5 with maintained plugins:
- gulp.series / gulp.parallel in place of the array signature
- gulp-terser replaces gulp-uglify
- gulp-postcss + autoprefixer replaces gulp-autoprefixer, with the browser
targets coming from .browserslistrc rather than the removed `browsers` option
- gulp 5's built-in `{ sourcemaps: true }` replaces gulp-sourcemaps, which is
unmaintained and was the only thing pulling postcss 7
- the .po -> .mo step moves to WP-CLI (`npm run build:mo`), replacing
gulp-gettext, which depends on the abandoned gulp-util
Dropped as unused: gulp-util (only ever `gutil.log` in an error handler, now
console.error), gulp-jshint and jshint (the reporter was already commented
out), gulp-minify-css (imported, never piped), gulp-concat (concatenating a
single file) and map-stream.
Removed the "dependencies" block: acorn, atob, braces, clean-css, cryptiles,
hoek, lodash, lodash.template, minimatch, minimist, randomatic, tar and
tunnel-agent. None is imported by any source file - they are leftover
`npm audit fix` pins, and declaring them as runtime dependencies is why
Dependabot reported hoek and lodash.template under runtime scope for a plugin
that ships PHP and built assets only. Both had no patched version available
and could only be resolved by removing the package.
All 13 Dependabot alerts are cleared and `npm audit` reports 0
vulnerabilities, down from a 426-package tree to 260.
Assets: lsx-login.css and lsx-login-rtl.css are now compiled compressed
rather than compact - dart-sass does not support the compact output style.
The rules are unchanged; the files are ~180 bytes smaller each.
Version: the plugin header and LSX_LOGIN_VER were still on 1.0.5 while
changelog.txt had already shipped 1.1.2 and opened 1.1.3. Both now read
1.1.3, matching the changelog, and the enqueues already version off
LSX_LOGIN_VER so the cache bust follows.
Also removed:
- .travis.yml - targeting a service no longer running these builds
- .mergify.yml - auto-merged every Dependabot PR unreviewed; Mergify is no
longer in use here
- lsx-login.sublime-project - editor-local file
Added .github/workflows/ci.yml:
- PHP syntax lint across 8.2/8.3/8.4, excluding the bundled vendor/
libraries (Custom-Meta-Boxes, uix), which predate PHP 8 and are not ours
- an assets job that rebuilds CSS and JS and fails on a diff, so a
source-only change cannot ship stale output
It uses GitHub's native `concurrency` with cancel-in-progress rather than
the styfle/cancel-workflow-action pattern used elsewhere in the org.
Updated .github/dependabot.yml: weekly grouped updates with a limit of 5,
replacing daily updates with a limit of 99.

Concurrency group. The group keyed on `github.head_ref`, which is only the
branch name. Two fork pull requests using the same branch name would land in
the same group and, with cancel-in-progress, cancel each other's checks.
`github.ref` is unique per PR (refs/pull/N/merge).
Stale-asset guard. `git diff --exit-code` only inspects tracked paths, so a
newly generated asset that was never committed would pass the check
unnoticed - exactly the class of bug this guard exists to catch. Replaced with
`git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all`, which sees added files too.
Build error handling. gulp-plumber's handler calls `this.emit('end')`, which
marks the stream complete, so gulp reported `build` as successful even when a
stylesheet failed to compile and no asset was written. `sass.logError` does the
same thing. Both are removed: gulp.watch in gulp 4+ already survives a failing
task, so plumber bought nothing here and cost us silent build failures.
Verified by feeding the pipeline invalid SCSS - `gulp styles` now exits 1 where
it previously exited 0.
