Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades the octokit package from v2.1.0 to v5.0.2 to address security vulnerabilities. This is a positive step for security.

However, this is a major version upgrade (from v2 to v5), and as indicated by Snyk's own metadata ("isBreakingChange":true), it introduces significant breaking changes that need to be addressed before this PR can be safely merged. The most critical issue is a missing peer dependency required by the new octokit version, which will likely cause the application to fail.

Summary of Findings

• Missing Peer Dependency: The upgrade to octokit v5.0.2 requires @octokit/core as a peer dependency. This is not included in the PR, which will likely cause the application to fail at runtime. @octokit/core (e.g., version ^5.0.0) must be added to package.json.
• Potential API Breaking Changes: The major version jump from octokit v2.1.0 to v5.0.2 likely includes other API breaking changes beyond the peer dependency. The octokit changelogs should be reviewed, and the application's usage of octokit in index.js must be thoroughly tested and updated if necessary.
• Testing Required: Due to the significant version upgrade and confirmed breaking changes, comprehensive testing of the Notion-GitHub sync functionality is essential after applying the necessary code and dependency updates.

Merge Readiness

This pull request is intended to improve security by upgrading the octokit package. However, due to the major version jump, it introduces critical breaking changes, most notably a missing peer dependency (@octokit/core) that will likely cause the application to fail.

I recommend that the following actions be taken before merging:

1. Add @octokit/core (e.g., ^5.0.0) to the dependencies in package.json.
2. Review the octokit changelogs for v3.x through v5.x to identify any other API changes that might affect index.js.
3. Update index.js as necessary to conform to the new octokit API.
4. Thoroughly test the application's functionality.

As it stands, the PR is not ready to be merged. I am unable to approve pull requests; please ensure these changes are addressed and further reviewed by maintainers before merging.

[gemini-code-assist]

This upgrade to octokit v5.0.2 is a major version jump from v2.1.0. While this addresses security vulnerabilities, it introduces critical breaking changes that need to be handled:

1. Missing Peer Dependency: octokit v3.0.0 and later (including the new v5.0.2) require @octokit/core as a peer dependency. Your package.json needs to be updated to include it. Without @octokit/core, the application (index.js) will likely fail at runtime when trying to use octokit.
   You'll need to add @octokit/core to your dependencies. For [email protected], a compatible version for @octokit/core would typically be ^5.0.0 (as [email protected] has a peer dependency requirement of @octokit/core: ">=5.0.0 <7.0.0").

   Example of how to add it in package.json:

   "dependencies": {
     // ... other dependencies
     "octokit": "^5.0.2",
     "@octokit/core": "^5.0.0", // Add this line
     // ...
   }

   After adding this, run npm install or yarn install.

2. Other Potential API Breaking Changes: Major version upgrades often include other API changes beyond peer dependencies. The Snyk metadata for this PR also explicitly states "isBreakingChange":true.

   • It's crucial to thoroughly review the octokit changelogs for versions 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x to identify any other changes that might affect how octokit is used in index.js.
   • Pay special attention to the instantiation (new Octokit(...)) and methods like octokit.paginate.iterator(octokit.rest.pulls.list, ...) used in index.js.
   • After addressing the peer dependency and reviewing changelogs, the application must be thoroughly tested to ensure all GitHub integration functionality remains correct.

This PR should not be merged until these issues, particularly the missing peer dependency, are resolved.
