Use cases
Handle dependency updates
Update a focused dependency and verify compatibility before review.Use a Factory to handle small dependency updates that have a known target version and a repeatable validation path.
Limit the scope
Section titled “Limit the scope”Name the package, target version, supported runtime, lockfile and required checks. Separate major upgrades or migrations into their own reviewed plan.
Run the update
Section titled “Run the update”The automation updates the manifest and lockfile, runs the required checks and opens a pull request with the result. Add release-note review when the dependency can change runtime behavior.
Verify safety
Section titled “Verify safety”Confirm that the resolved version is correct, tests pass, generated files are expected and no unrelated packages changed. Keep security advisories and compatibility decisions in the task record.
