Documentation

README

Excerpt

Update Dependencies

Audit outdated packages, verify supply chain integrity, bump what's safe, defer what needs review, and log everything.

This process has three phases: discovery, integrity audit, and execution. The integrity audit is the most important — every package gets checked before it touches the lockfile.

Phase 1: Discovery

Run bun outdated to get the full list of packages with available updates.

bun outdated

Parse the output into a structured list. For each package, note:

Package name
Current version
Available update version
Whether it's age-gated (indicated by * in the output — the footnote "The * indicates that version isn't true latest due to minimum release age" confirms this)
Whether it's a runtime dep, dev dep, or peer dep

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
