In `@README.md`:
- Line 189: Update the README entry for updatecli.yaml and the gha.apply.cron
schedule description to accurately state that 0 12 */14 * * runs at 12:00 UTC on
calendar days 1, 15, and 29, rather than claiming a fixed two-week interval.
- Around line 120-122: Replace the mutable scaffold policy tag in the README’s
updatecli diff/apply commands with its immutable `@sha256` digest, and update
updatecli/updatecli.d/readme.yaml so its rules refresh the digest when the
policy version changes rather than updating only semver tags.
- Around line 120-122: Replace the deprecated updatecli commands in the README
scaffold example with updatecli pipeline diff and updatecli pipeline apply, and
update the workflow’s command to use updatecli pipeline diff.
- Around line 87-90: Clean up the README warning section by removing the old
warning text and merge separator, preserving only the replacement GitHub Actions
debug warning alert. Also remove the visible merge marker near the later
documentation section, including its associated conflict artifact.

Remove the unresolved merge artifacts from README.md.
The old warning and ======= separator at lines 87–90 render as a heading before the replacement alert. The >>>>>>> 8d9036c (doc: update documentation) marker at line 195 renders as visible text. Keep only the replacement warning alert and remove the marker.

Pin remote policy references to immutable digests.
A tag can change between diff and apply, or before a scheduled run. Replace the policy references with @sha256:<digest>. Update updatecli/updatecli.d/readme.yaml to refresh the digest with the version; its current rules update only semver tags.

💡 Result:
In Updatecli, the diff and apply commands are used to manage the execution of pipelines, allowing users to preview or enact changes defined by their policies [1]. The diff command is used to simulate the execution of a pipeline [1]. It evaluates the defined policy and identifies potential updates without making any actual modifications to the target repositories or files. This is useful for reviewing what changes would occur before committing to them [1]. The apply command executes the pipeline to actually perform the updates [1]. When run, it applies the changes defined in the pipeline configuration to the specified targets. These commands can be used with standard pipelines or with compose files, for example: # Perform a dry-run to preview changes updatecli compose diff --file updatecli-compose.yaml # Execute the updates updatecli compose apply --file updatecli-compose.yaml These commands form the core workflow for verifying and implementing dependency updates through Updatecli automation [1].

Updatecli deprecations "updatecli diff" "updatecli pipeline diff"
💡 Result:
In Updatecli, the command updatecli diff has been deprecated in favor of the new command updatecli pipeline diff [1][2][3]. This change was introduced to provide a more consistent command structure, organizing pipeline-related tasks under a new pipeline parent command, similar to how manifest and compose commands are structured [1]. While updatecli diff remains functional for backward compatibility, it now issues deprecation warning messages when executed [1]. Users are encouraged to migrate to the new command structure: - Use updatecli pipeline diff instead of updatecli diff [1][4]. - Use updatecli pipeline apply instead of updatecli apply [1][3]. - Use updatecli pipeline prepare instead of updatecli prepare [1]. Both the old and new command paths route to the same underlying execution logic, so there are no breaking changes to your existing workflows, though updating to the new syntax is recommended to avoid future issues [1].

Replace the deprecated commands in the scaffold example and workflow.
Use updatecli pipeline diff and updatecli pipeline apply in README.md. Update .github/workflows/test.yaml to use updatecli pipeline diff.
