Dependency Update

Handle dependency updates in a controlled way that minimizes regressions.

When to Use

• You need to update one or more dependencies safely.
• You want clear compatibility and testing guidance before merge.

Workflow

1. Identify current and target versions with changelog review.
2. Classify risk (patch/minor/major and transitive impact).
3. Apply upgrades in coherent groups.
4. Run build/tests and resolve breakages.
5. Document risks, follow-ups, and rollback path.

Output

• Upgrade plan and grouping strategy
• Compatibility risk notes
• Verification and rollback checklist
