    "description": "Quarterly workflow for upgrading core frameworks and runtime versions to stay current\nwith security patches, performance improvements, and ecosystem support. The backend\nengineer and tech lead review the framework changelog for breaking changes and\ndeprecations, then update dependencies in a dedicated upgrade branch. The full\nautomated test suite is run to surface regressions, and breaking changes are addressed\nthrough codemods or targeted refactors. Upgrade notes document any behaviour changes\nthat application developers need to be aware of before the upgrade is merged.\n",
