A safer upgrade rhythm

Establish a baseline

Record the current build, warnings, and critical route behavior before changing a dependency.

Test in isolation

Upgrade one project at a time and keep the lockfile diff small enough to review.

Keep rollback close

Retain the prior artifact or commit until production behavior matches the baseline.
