ln-823-pip-upgrader

Type: L3 Worker Category: 8XX Optimization Parent: ln-820-dependency-optimization-coordinator

Upgrades Python dependencies with automatic breaking change detection.

Overview

Aspect	Details
Input	Project path, package manager type
Output	Updated requirements.txt/pyproject.toml
Supports	pip, poetry, pipenv

Workflow

Phases: Pre-flight → Detect Manager → Security Audit → Check Outdated → Apply Upgrades → Verify Installation → Report

Phase 0: Pre-flight Checks

Check	Required	Action if Missing
requirements.txt OR pyproject.toml OR Pipfile	Yes	Block upgrade
Virtual environment active	No	Warn user (risk of system pollution)
Git clean state	Yes	Block (need clean baseline for revert)

Workers assume coordinator (ln-820) already verified git state and created backup.

Worktree & Branch Isolation

MANDATORY READ: Load

shared/references/git_worktree_fallback.md

— use ln-823 row.

Phase 1: Detect Manager

Manager	Indicator Files
pip	requirements.txt
poetry	pyproject.toml + poetry.lock
pipenv	Pipfile + Pipfile.lock

Phase 2: Security Audit

Commands

Manager	Command
pip	`pip-audit --json`
poetry	`poetry audit` (via plugin)
pipenv	`pipenv check`

Actions

Severity	Action
Critical	Block upgrade, report
High	Warn, continue
Moderate/Low	Log only

Phase 3: Check Outdated

Commands

Manager	Command
pip	`pip list --outdated --format=json`
poetry	`poetry show --outdated`
pipenv	`pipenv update --outdated`

Phase 4: Apply Upgrades

Commands

Manager	Command
pip	`pip install --upgrade <package>`
pip (freeze)	`pip freeze > requirements.txt`
poetry	`poetry update`
pipenv	`pipenv update`

MCP Tools for Migration Search

Priority Order (Fallback Strategy)

Priority	Tool	When to Use
1	mcp__context7__query-docs	First choice for library docs
2	mcp__Ref__ref_search_documentation	Official docs and PyPI
3	WebSearch	Latest info, community solutions

Context7 Usage

Step	Tool	Parameters
1. Find library	mcp__context7__resolve-library-id	libraryName: "pydantic"
2. Query docs	mcp__context7__query-docs	query: "pydantic v1 to v2 migration breaking changes"

MCP Ref Usage

Action	Tool	Query Example
Search	mcp__Ref__ref_search_documentation	"python pydantic 2 migration guide"
Read	mcp__Ref__ref_read_url	URL from search results

WebSearch Fallback

Use when Context7/Ref return no results:

"<package> python <version> breaking changes migration"

```
"<ImportError message> <package> fix"
```

Phase 5: Verify Installation

Commands

Check	Command
Import test	`python -c "import <package>"`
Tests	`pytest` or `python -m pytest`

Phase 6: Report Results

Report Schema

Field	Description
project	Project path
packageManager	pip, poetry, or pipenv
duration	Total time
upgrades[]	Applied upgrades
verification	PASSED or FAILED

Common Breaking Changes

MANDATORY READ: Load breaking_changes_patterns.md for full patterns.

Package	Breaking Version	Key Changes
pydantic	1 → 2	V1 compatibility layer needed
sqlalchemy	1 → 2	Query syntax changes
fastapi	0.99 → 0.100+	Pydantic v2 required

Configuration

yaml

Options:
  # Upgrade scope
  upgradeType: major          # major | minor | patch

  # Security
  auditLevel: high
  minimumReleaseAge: 14

  # Python specific
  pythonVersion: "3.12"
  useVirtualenv: true

  # Verification
  runTests: true

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
ImportError	Breaking API change	Search Context7/Ref for migration
Dependency conflict	Version mismatch	Try pip-compile or poetry lock
