Review and update project dependencies safely.
Phase 1: Dependency Audit
- List all outdated dependencies
- Check for security vulnerabilities
- Identify breaking changes in major updates
Phase 2: Update Strategy
- Categorise: security patches (immediate), minor updates (safe), major updates (needs testing)
- For major updates: read changelog, identify breaking changes, find migration guides
Phase 3: Incremental Updates
- Update in order: security patches, dev dependencies, minor production, major (one at a time)
- After each group: run full test suite, check deprecation warnings
Phase 4: Documentation
- Update lock files, README if setup changed, migration notes
Create a PR for each logical group with clear description and testing performed.
