# Dependency Update

## Invocation
Explicit-only with a defined dependency scope.

## Non-goals
- No inferred “update everything”.
- No publish/release.

## Workflow
1. Identify the dependency set and current versions.
2. Read release notes/changelogs.
3. Apply updates and fix breakages.
4. Verify with the project’s test/build gates.
