## Update Dependencies
1. See what's outdated:
```bash
npm outdated 2>/dev/null || bun outdated 2>/dev/null
```
2. Categorize updates:
- **Patch** (1.0.1 → 1.0.2): bug fixes, safe to update
- **Minor** (1.0.0 → 1.1.0): new features, backward compatible, usually safe
- **Major** (1.0.0 → 2.0.0): breaking changes, needs analysis
3. For major updates, check changelogs:
- Read the package's CHANGELOG or GitHub releases
- Identify breaking changes that affect this project
- Check if there are codemods available
4. Apply updates in batches:
```bash
# Safe updates first
npm update 2>/dev/null || bun update
# Major updates individually after analysis
npm install package@latest
```
5. After each batch: run tests to catch regressions.
```bash
npm test 2>/dev/null || bun test
```
6. Report: N updated, N skipped (reason), N failed tests (which package caused it).
