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:junit from 4.11 to 4.13.1 in the jlink plugin spread test fixture pom.xml (+1/-1). Approved by 2 reviewers, one failing snap-tests CI check, inactive ~11 months; target file still pins 4.11 at HEAD.
Suggested action: needs review
Reason: The PR has 2 approvals and 0 unresolved comments, and the target pom.xml still pins junit 4.11 at HEAD, so the change remains applicable and is ready to land — but the failing snap-tests check needs a maintainer to re-run or investigate before merging. The only comment (lengau: 'I manually had dependabot create this as an experiment') has had no follow-up for ~11 months, so it is moderately stale but not irrelevant, ruling out close_stale.
