PR Review: release: 0.5.52

Recommendation

Approve. This is a release-please-generated version bump (0.5.51 → 0.5.52) containing three changes: two bug fixes and one feature. All CI checks passed successfully.

Change-by-Change Findings

1. Version bump (0.5.51 → 0.5.52) — Standard semantic versioning patch increment. Version strings updated in package.json, package-lock.json, .release-please-manifest.json, and charts/dispatch/Chart.yaml. No risk.

2. @testing-library/user-event bump (14.6.6 → 14.6.7) — This is a patch-level dependency update. The changelog shows it as a bug fix with no breaking API changes. Lockfile updated accordingly.

3. fix(prisma): turn TLS on when DATABASE_URL uses sslmode=no-verify (PR 910) — Fixes an edge case where pg-connection-string did not recognize sslmode=no-verify, causing the connection pool to be built without TLS config. Now properly passes { rejectUnauthorized: false } to node-postgres.

4. feat(groomer): give repository exploration its own budget (PR 918) — Exploration loop now has its own context budget rather than borrowing from the single-call groomer budget. Adds new environment variables (DISPATCH_GROOMER_CONTEXT_MODE, DISPATCH_GROOMER_MODEL_CONTEXT_TOKENS, DISPATCH_GROOMER_EXPLORE_MAX_BYTES, DISPATCH_GROOMER_EXPLORE_MAX_FILE_BYTES, DISPATCH_GROOMER_EXPLORE_TIMEOUT_MS) with sensible defaults. Fully documented in README.md and docs/hosted-groomer.md.

Required Checks

• Check for breaking API changes in updated dependencies: Verified. The only dependency change is @testing-library/user-event from 14.6.6 to 14.6.7 — a patch-level update within the same minor version line, documented as a bug fix with no breaking changes. No other production dependencies were updated in this release.

• Run full test suite after upgrade: Verified. The CI check "Tests" completed with status success. The full test suite ran and passed after the upgrade.

CI Check Results

All 14 CI checks passed: review, publish-release, Database integration, Database migrations, Tests, Build, Typecheck, Coverage, Lint, Docker Build, smoke, Docker Build (MCP), lint, npm audit.

Standards Compliance

• Version bumping via release-please is standard practice for this repository
• CHANGELOG entries match the conventional commit format (feat: / fix:)
• Chart version and appVersion stay in sync

Unknowns / Needs Verification

No unknowns. All evidence is complete: CI passed, dependency update is non-breaking, and the code changes are internal bug fixes and features with appropriate tests.
