doesn't require poetry. (It's what we use in CI too). However, you could try
`poetry build` too.
## ...handle a Dependabot pull request?
Synapse uses Dependabot to keep the `poetry.lock` file up-to-date. When it
creates a pull request a GitHub Action will run to automatically create a changelog
file. Ensure that:
* the lockfile changes look reasonable;
* the upstream changelog file (linked in the description) doesn't include any
breaking changes;
* continuous integration passes (due to permissions, the GitHub Actions run on
the changelog commit will fail, look at the initial commit of the pull request);
In particular, any updates to the type hints (usually packages which start with `types-`)
should be safe to merge if linting passes.
