build(deps-dev): bump junit:junit from 4.11 to 4.13.1 in /tests/spread/rockcraft/plugin-jlink/base-2404/helloworld
Metadata
Current evaluation
Dependabot bump of junit 4.11→4.13.1 in a single test-fixture pom.xml (tests/spread/rockcraft/plugin-jlink/base-2404/helloworld). Approved by 2 reviewers, all CI green except one snap-tests entry; idle ~1 year.
Suggested action: needs review
Reason: The diff is a one-line version bump in a Maven pom used only as jlink spread-test fixture data, and review status is 'approved (2 reviewers)' with 'Unresolved review comments: 0' and all fast/slow test, lint, policy and security checks passing. It has sat untouched for ~1 year (last activity 359 days ago) after lengau noted '@bepri I manually had dependabot create this as an experiment', so it needs a maintainer decision to land or dismiss; the lone 'Failing: snap-tests' entry is ambiguous because snap-tests also appears among passing checks, and the pinned HEAD still has junit 4.11, so the change remains applicable and not obsolete.
