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
