Repository navigation

GitHub retired repository Downloads. The API always returns has_downloads: false, even right after it is set to true. So a settings.yml with has_downloads: true never matches, and every sync updates the repository again. With a cron sync that is an update, plus the Dependabot security fixes call, on every repository every run, and an audit log full of repo.change_merge_setting and repository_security_updates.enable events.

GitHub retired repository Downloads, and the API now always returns
has_downloads: false, even right after you set it totrue. So ifsettings.ymlhashas_downloads: true, the compare never matches and every sync updates the repository again.We hit this with a 5 minute cron: every run updated every repository and re-sent the Dependabot security fixes call, which filled our org audit log with
repo.change_merge_settingandrepository_security_updates.enableevents from the app, around 1,300 an hour.This adds
has_downloadsto the fields the repository plugin ignores when comparing, with a test that a repository whose only difference ishas_downloadsis not updated.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
