Excerpt

Start your first response with the ⬆️ emoji.

Absolute Upgrade

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 Not a blind npm update: outdated and vulnerable deps are grouped by blast radius (patch/minor → safe wave; major/breaking → gated, one at a time, changelog-read), applied incrementally, and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.
