Dependably

Quarantine review

The Quarantine queue is where versions blocked by a supply-chain policy wait for a human decision. Open it from Quarantine under Admin in the sidebar, or from the Quarantine pending card on the Overview.

This page is for the Admin and Owner roles. A member's sidebar does not list it, and a member who opens its address is returned to the Overview. The roles are defined in Access control (RBAC).

What lands here

Every automatic policy block adds a pending entry to the queue, while downloads of that version keep returning 403. A manual block does not, because it is already a human decision. The gates and their thresholds are set in Settings.

Find an entry

  • Search by package, gate, note, or reviewer.
  • Filter by ecosystem, by gate (All gates or a single gate), and by decision state: Pending, Approved, Denied, or All. The queue opens on Pending.
  • Sort by selecting a column header, and page through results at the bottom. Filters and sort are kept in the page address.

Each row shows the Package, the Gate that blocked it, the gate's Detail, who decided it and how many days ago (Decided by), and when it was last Updated. A badge beside the package counts the applications that ship it, which are the ones a deny affects; apps unavailable means the count could not be loaded, not that it is zero.

Select a row to expand the full Policy detail, when the entry was Created, and, once decided, Decided at, Decided by, and any Note.

Approve or deny

A pending row carries Approve and Deny buttons:

  • Approve sets the version's manual allow override. The override outranks every policy gate, so the version serves from then on even if a gate still matches.
  • Deny records a manual block.

To change a decision, open the row's menu and choose the opposite decision, or Reset to pending, which clears the override and puts the entry back in the queue.

Every decision is written to the Audit log, so there is a durable record of who allowed or blocked what, and when.
