update-nnsight-deps

name: update-nnsight-deps description: Refresh nnsight (PyPI) and/or nnsightful (git) to their latest versions and update uv.lock and bun.lock. Use whenever the user asks to bump nnsight or nnsightful.

Two packages, distinct flows:

• nnsight — PyPI, Python only. Constrained in pyproject.toml (currently nnsight>=0.6.3).
• nnsightful — git default-branch HEAD, used in both pyproject.toml (nnsightful @ git+https://...) and workbench/_web/package.json ("nnsightful": "github:AdamBelfki3/nnsightful"). Both lockfiles must be refreshed together.

All commands run from the repo root unless noted.

Args

• nnsight → step 1 only
• nnsightful → step 2 only
• no arg / both → step 1 then step 2

1. nnsight (PyPI)

Refresh the lockfile to the latest version that satisfies the existing floor in pyproject.toml:

uv lock --upgrade-package nnsight
uv sync

If the user wants to raise the floor (e.g. require a new major version):

uv add 'nnsight>=<NEW_VERSION>'   # edits pyproject.toml + relocks
uv sync

2. nnsightful (git, both languages)

Refresh both lockfiles to the latest commit on main:

# Python lock
uv lock --upgrade-package nnsightful

# TS lock (must run inside _web)
cd workbench/_web
bun update nnsightful
cd -

# Apply Python changes to the active venv
uv sync

If bun update nnsightful doesn't change bun.lock, the install cache is holding a stale commit. Force a clean fetch:

rm -rf workbench/_web/node_modules/nnsightful
cd workbench/_web && bun install && cd -

Verify

Confirm what landed and check for type drift:

# nnsight version in uv.lock
grep -A 1 '^name = "nnsight"' uv.lock | head

# nnsightful resolved revision in uv.lock
grep -B 1 -A 4 '"nnsightful"' uv.lock | head -20

# nnsightful resolved revision in bun.lock
grep -A 2 'nnsightful' workbench/_web/bun.lock | head

# Frontend types — catches API drift from a bumped nnsightful commit
cd workbench/_web && bunx tsc --noEmit

Report back to the user:

• Old vs new nnsight version (semver), and/or
• Old vs new nnsightful commit SHA (short, ~7 chars).

Caveats

• Do not run next build / bun run build while the user's dev server is up — it corrupts .next/. bunx tsc --noEmit is the safe verifier.
• Most likely break sites after a nnsightful bump:
  • Backend: workbench/_api/routes/logit_lens.py, workbench/_api/routes/activation_patching.py (import nnsightful tools).
  • Frontend: workbench/_web/src/app/workbench/[workspaceId]/lens2/[chartId]/components/Lens2Display.tsx and .../activation-patching/[chartId]/components/ActivationPatchingDisplay.tsx (consume nnsightful types/widgets).
  • Notebook export: workbench/_web/src/actions/notebook.ts reads node_modules/nnsightful/src/nnsightful/viz/charts.js — if nnsightful restructures viz/, this path needs updating here AND in next.config.js outputFileTracingIncludes.
• If the dev server is up, exercise lens2 and activation-patching pages in the browser after a nnsightful bump.

Commit suggestion

Do not commit unless asked. If the user asks, single commits per bump:

chore(deps): bump nnsight to <version>
chore(deps): bump nnsightful to <short-sha>
chore(deps): bump nnsight + nnsightful
