Bring dependencies current — safely, in risk-ranked waves, with tests green after each.
Not a blind npm update: outdated and vulnerable deps are grouped by blast radius
(patch/minor → safe wave; major/breaking → gated, one at a time, changelog-read), applied
incrementally, and verified against the project's own test suite.
Runs the shared engine in references/health-engine.md — read it for the
DETECT → SCAN → TRIAGE → FIX → VERIFY → REPORT loop and the safety contract. This file
covers only what's specific to dependency upgrades.
npm outdated / Dependabot backlog without 40 separate PRs.Not for: adding a new dependency (that's a work/feature decision), or auditing
vulnerabilities specifically → use /absolute audit (it triages CVEs; upgrade
moves versions).
Per ecosystem, list outdated deps with current → wanted → latest and the jump type:
| Ecosystem | Detect outdated | Lockfile / manifest |
|---|---|---|
| npm | npm outdated --json | package-lock.json |
| pnpm | pnpm outdated --format json | pnpm-lock.yaml |
| yarn | yarn outdated --json | yarn.lock |
| Python (pip) | pip list --outdated --format=json | requirements*.txt |
| Python (poetry/uv) | poetry show --outdated / uv pip list --outdated | pyproject.toml + lock |
| Go | go list -u -m -json all | go.mod / go.sum |
Also flag: deps with known deprecations, duplicate/multiple versions of the same package, and direct vs transitive (only direct deps are upgrade targets; transitives follow).
Group the upgrade plan into waves by semver jump — safest first:
| Wave | Jump | Default |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | patch (x.y.Z) | batch together, fix now |
| 2 | minor (x.Y.z) | batch by package family, fix now |
| 3 | major (X.y.z) / pre-1.0 minor | one at a time, gated — read the changelog/migration guide first, list breaking changes |
For every major bump: locate breaking changes (CHANGELOG, release notes, codemod if the package ships one), inventory call sites that touch the changed API, and state the migration before applying. Peer-dependency conflicts get resolved in the same wave as their driver.
--force / --legacy-peer-deps to mask a real conflict.npm install succeeding proves nothing — run tests./absolute audit — if the goal is fixing vulnerabilities, start there; it'll route

Not a blind `npm update`: outdated and vulnerable deps are grouped by blast radius (patch/minor → safe wave; major/breaking → gated, one at a time, changelog-read), applied incrementally, and verified against the project's own test suite. Runs the shared engine in **`references/health-engine.md`** — read it for the DETECT → SCAN → TRIAGE → FIX → VERIFY → REPORT loop and the safety contract. This file covers only what's specific to dependency upgrades. --- ## When to use - Routine "bring deps up to date" / "upgrade our dependencies". - A specific bump: "upgrade React to 19", "move off the deprecated X package". - Clearing `npm outdated` / Dependabot backlog without 40 separate PRs. **Not** for: adding a *new* dependency (that's a `work`/feature decision), or auditing *vulnerabilities* specifically → use **`/absolute audit`** (it triages CVEs; `upgrade` moves versions). --- ## What it scans Per ecosystem, list outdated deps with current → wanted → latest and the jump type: | Ecosystem | Detect outdated | Lockfile / manifest | |---|---|---| | npm | `npm outdated --json` | `package-lock.json` | | pnpm | `pnpm outdated --format json` | `pnpm-lock.yaml` | | yarn | `yarn outdated --json` | `yarn.lock` | | Python (pip) | `pip list --outdated --format=json` | `requirements*.txt` | | Python (poetry/uv) | `poetry show --outdated` / `uv pip list --outdated` | `pyproject.toml` + lock | | Go | `go list -u -m -json all` | `go.mod` / `go.sum` | Also flag: deps with known deprecations, duplicate/multiple versions of the same package, and direct vs transitive (only direct deps are upgrade targets; transitives follow). --- ## Risk ranking (TRIAGE) Group the upgrade plan into waves by semver jump — safest first: | Wave | Jump | Default | |---|---|---| | 1 | patch (`x.y.Z`) | batch together, fix now | | 2 | minor (`x.Y.z`) | batch by package family, fix now | | 3 | major (`X.y.z`) / pre-1.0 minor | **one at a time, gated** — read the changelog/migration guide first, list breaking changes | For every major bump: locate breaking changes (CHANGELOG, release notes, codemod if the package ships one), inventory call sites that touch the changed API, and state the migration before applying. Peer-dependency conflicts get resolved in the same wave as their driver. --- ## Fix & verify - Apply a wave, regenerate the lockfile, run the project's **full** test + build (a passing install is not a passing upgrade). - Majors: apply the version bump *and* the required code migration in the same wave, or the build breaks. Use the package's codemod where one exists. - A wave that can't go green within reason → revert it, report it as blocked with the error, keep the green waves. Never `--force` / `--legacy-peer-deps` to mask a real conflict. --- ## Gotchas 1. **Lockfile-only "upgrade".** Bumping the manifest without regenerating + committing the lockfile ships untested transitive versions. Always regenerate. 2. **Batching a major in with patches.** One breaking bump fails the whole wave and hides which change broke it. Majors are always solo. 3. **Green install ≠ green project.** `npm install` succeeding proves nothing — run tests. 4. **Pinning around a failure.** If a bump breaks something, fix or defer it; don't pin the dependency tree to dodge it silently. --- ## Companion commands - **`/absolute audit`** — if the goal is fixing *vulnerabilities*, start there; it'll route back here for the version moves. - **`/absolute deflake`** — flaky tests can mask whether an upgrade truly passed. - **`/absolute work`** — if an upgrade needs real feature-level migration work, hand off.
