Dependency Update
description
Scheduled monthly workflow for reviewing and updating third-party libraries, runtime
versions, and infrastructure dependencies to their latest stable releases. Automated
tools (e.g. Dependabot, Renovate) propose update PRs; engineers review changelogs
for breaking changes, run the test suite, and merge safe updates. Security patches
are fast-tracked outside the normal schedule. The workflow reduces exposure to known
vulnerabilities and prevents dependency drift that makes future upgrades dramatically
harder and riskier.
